Unflavored Juice

[Ed Brown]

I made a batch of unflavored juice at the nic content that I usually use - 6 mg, and am finding good uses for it.

A new recipe that has too much flavor can be rescued with some unflavored juice. Before, I would add one drop of 100 mg liquid and 16 drops of straight VG to dilute it. That gets old fast and is the reason I made it in the first place.

You can add some to the tank when changing flavors.

You can put some in the tank and add a few drops of flavor to experiment with new recipes. If it's bad, it is a small amount to throw away.

My wife doesn't like the smell when I vape in the same room with her. She hardly notices the unflavored juice.


Anyone else?

Good decision. The commercial stuff is always, and popular DIY recipes are often, overflavored and obtrusive to bystanders. Having a supply of pre-mixed base is handy indeed for casual dilution and experimentation without the need to resort to calculators.

I keep a 30 ml bottle of just base, and sometimes will vape just that. I have a 10 ml bottle that I'll put 5 to 10 drops of a concentrated flavor into, and fill the rest with the base. My vaping scale used to lean on the unflavored side, then it was pretty much a 50/50 balance, lately it's been leaning on the flavored side..

I totally agree... always keep some unflavored handy. I tend to mix DIY too strong (flavor) and it's so easy to fix by diluting. Also do the flavor change trick in my tank (that's actually how I realized I was mixing too strong) Sometimes if i feel like a coil is on it's last days I just vape unflavored. In my RTAs, when I re-wick, I prime it with unflavored so I can choose what to fill the tank with later.

I vape unflavoured about 99% of the time now.
I like the unflavoured, its a preference but I also havnt found any flavours I like.
Actually there is one company who makes two flavours I can vape diluted but its bothersome dealing with them so I tend to not bother.

Another plus for vaping unflavored base is that wicks last quite a lot longer.

Next time you Re-Coil or plug in a New Coil Head to your RBA or RTA or whatever, try this...

Prime the Dry Wick with a Flavored e-Liquid but fill up your Tank with Unflavored.

It is kinda Amazing How Much Flavor you get and for How long you get it with just 5 or 6 Drops of Flavored e-Liquid. And Coil Life is Greatly Extended.

And after a Tank or two, if you fell the Flavor is Dropping-Off, you can always refresh it by dripping a Drop or 2 of Flavored e-Liquid onto the wick again.

I vape unflavored juice most of the time. As zoiDman said, You can always add a drop of flavor concentrate or pre-mixed flavored juice to a tank of unflavored to add some flavor.

When I started vaping 5 1/2 years ago we were going through the flavor scares. What I did with first diy was add the smallest possible amount of flavor I could detect which turned out to be 1%. It tastes better than unflavored but so subtle it almost doesn't matter what flavor I use at 1%. So call it almost unflavored. Makes my vaping life a lot simpler.

btw, are you following the news that multiple researchers are starting to conclude that nicotine appears to be protective against covid? If the public gets enthusiastic it could increase demand for nicotine related products a thousand times, like N95 masks. What happens if Asian countries prohibit export to protect their own citizens?

every once in a while, I get numb to my flavored juices, White TicTac or cola tobacco.

So I'll vape unflavored for a while. In a few days, the flavored juices have "bloomed" again.

I like the other suggestions.

That's why I have more than 3 liters of 100mg/ml nic broken down into 240ml glass bottles in the freezer. Nicotine production occurs wherever tobacco grows and the U.S. is still a major producer of tobacco products. That said, I wanted to be a member of the "I Got Mine" club in case the FDA cracks down on sales. I'm not going back to smoking.
