Been reading that vaping unflavored nic juice may solve my problem of all my juices losing their flavor due to my taste buds dying from over-vaping.

has this worked for others with this problem? and where are the best places to buy decent tasting, usa-made unflavored nic juice at normal nic levels?

Are you going to mix or are you looking for premixed? I just picked up nic base at Good Prophets that was on sale.

I usually have 3 pvs going. When one starts to taste flat, I pick up the other one. That seems to help me. Never tried unflavored though- doubtful I ever will, the idea just doesn't appeal to me. Who knows, maybe I'd love it. When juice tastes flat I add a couple drops of VB artic ice to it.

I keep unflavored in some pv all the time. Unflavored does have a flavor.. it's a clean flavor, kinda sweet, kinda caramely. I use it by itself and I add it to my flavored juices to stretch them out. I buy nic at RTSvapes.com 100mg and then cut it down with pure PG and VG to the strength I want it. (12mg) If someone can't find a juice that they like, try it with no flavors and see how that goes. Visit the diy forum :) (cartos and atty LOVE it!) I did an experiment a month or so ago using unflavored in a 1.7 resurrector and it lasted over 4 weeks.. good vapor and flavor.

I vape unflavored a lot. I get mine from myfreedomsmokes.com. when my taste buds go I like to vape unflavored, I don't want to vape my expensive liquids when I can't taste them! but I found I really like unflavored and vape it everyday. I carry 3 pv's around with me all day since I chain vape. each filled with a different flavor (I'm mostly a menthol girl) unflavored is in one of them.

I keep buying well-reviewed flavored juices (BWB, AVE, VR, ect) but everything tastes very muted. I've been vaping non-stop for about two months, so following a couple suggestions I thought I'd take a break and vape unflavored nic juice (and save my good stuff for when I get my taste buds back). All I find is vendors with large amounts of Nicotine (60mg, 100mg) in their product. I really wasn't planning on mixing but I guess if I had to I could. Before I dig into that, I was just looking to find a unflavored nic juice with a normal nic level (12-18).

just cut your 60mg or 100mg unflavored nic liq with some pg (found at tsc(farm&home) OR VG from wally world (walmart) its called glyserin and is usually found with the hand or foot creams,

ive read VG is sweet (though i dont taste it)

VG will cost like 4$ and is thick! so maybe grab some DISTILLED water for 1$ to thin it out a bit,
PG will cost you like 22$ at TSC farm store, its thin and needs no thinning, you get a GALLON and it lasts FOREVER i still have hardly put a dent in mine and ive made well over 180ml's

dont be afraid to buy the 100mg unflav liq, thats why vendors sell unflav nic liq at those high MG's so DIYer's can cut it down and use very little at a time to make up your batches of juices,

if you really like unflavniliq grab it up, dont be afraid you just got a small lesson in DIY right here *


if you like a simple easy recipe calcuator follow link here,
eJuice Recipe Calculator
enter your wants, and if you want it unflavored LEAVE the FLAVOR% at 0

theres also a damm nifty app for android called e liquid calculator its the one with the beeker avatar,

its easy just TAKE CARE WITH HIGHLY CONCENTRATED NIC LIQ wear eye protection (you only have 2) and rubber gloves helps for spills always clean up and dont make a mess, NO CHILDEREN EITHER, USE COMMON SENSE and your good,

I tried a couple cartos of unflavored juice this past week, and was suprised that there was a flavor. I've been trying to get familiar with all the flavors I have, even the ones I don't really like, because I plan on getting heavy into the DIY after I get back from fishing. The "flavor" in unflavored juice is sweet but seems to have a slight chemical taste to it as well (which I assume is the nicotine). I figure that this will be good to know later on when I start mixing up more complicated flavors like chocolate covered banana mocha ;)

YOUR much welcome lol an good luck, its hella easy, just always take extra care when you get around ta craking open that bottle of nicotine

id like ta find the thread(S) you guys are talking about taste buds like "dying" off due to chain vaping or what not, cuz ive noticed the same thing in my ball park,

ive found my self making "take it to the bank" flavors, like i use WAY too much menthol, blueberry, and koolada in most my juices,

where are these threads youse speak of?


also,
