Since I started vaping it seems like my juices never cut it for me for long, it's like when I took a Greyhound bus from Southern California to move to MO as a 17 year old kid with no money. I ate 3 musketeers bars almost the entire way except once when this guy took pity on my and bought me a hot dog. I haven't eaten one since, nor have I eaten much sweet stuff since then either, the bakery isle at the grocery store even makes me sick. Pretty much the only sugar I consume is a spoon in my coffee and a glass or 2 a day of gold peak sweet tea. I've tried so many different juices but I hate them straight out or I'll vape a little bit and I start getting nauseous. Well I decided to add some tfa gingerbread cookie with MBV cafe coffee and whipped cream. I vaper it for most of the day then suddenly I felt like I was suffocating in sugar and I almost got sick. It's the only thing I could smell and taste!! I replaced 1/2 with flavored and felt somewhat better but thinking I am going to try to go straight unflavored over the next few days.
For those of you that have done this... was it hard and is there a trick to it? Besides not getting sick from the mass amounts of sugar, I am thinking if I can do it I would save even more money because I won't have to change my wick and coils near as often not to mention the flavors. How long does it take to get used to no flavor? I know this 1/2 isn't bad at all.

I came around to unflavored just by chance. I'd been mixing for a while, going from the tobacco to vanillas (avoiding fruits -- too cloying for me). I was getting serious with dripping, and was experimenting a lot, especially with wicks (didn't know about micro coils then), y'know ss, rope, ceramics etc. I didn't want to waste my precious flavor (ha), so I mixed up a batch of unflavored PG/VG (I think it was 50/50) at around 8-10 mg/ml.

While I was building wick no. 4 or 5 (on the same day) it dawned on my that I was vaping for enjoyment, not just testing the wicks. I made a batch of 60/40 PG/VG and decided to stick to that one day. I vaped it on a carto tank, but the taste was far better than anything I'd vaped before. It was muted on cartos and excellent on drippers. When I got the RM2 it was just plain perfect.

So, for me the process was hours, not days. I did carry an extra supply of flavored juice the first week, just in case, but I never used it :D

I vape unflavored nic 3mg PG only. Once in a while i add a few drops of caramel cappuccino to a bottle before i put it in my REO. Usually i do this when going out. But i don't get out much.

When i switched to unflavored nic it was after reading about people doing it on ECF. It surprised me that it does have flavor. Pleasantly surprised and it costs less as a side benefit. Some people even say it is safer but idk about that.

I started with unflavored recently out of necessity! About all of the juice I have on hand is high PG and I figured out that it was the PG giving me a raw tongue. Made some high VG unflavored and my tongue healed up! Starting to blend a little flavored juice back in, cautiously.

It is advantageous to have some unflavored nic juice on hand for bad taste bud days, palette cleansing between flavors, etc. I find I prefer it over most sweets and fruits.

I put some no nic, no flavor VG in a REO, the other day (can't remember why - up all night again doing things) and I really like it. I vape all sweet juices mostly butterscotch bases and the VG has a nice sweetnes to it. When I do vape my others it's like my palette has been refreshed and they taste even better. I'm enjoying the no nic but I still want a certain amount of nic during a day. My regular juices are 50/50 but I'm going to increase the VG some.

"Unflavored" does have a flavor to me. And like all the others, sometimes I'm in the mood for it and sometimes not. I don't really have an all day vape, more of a rotation and unflavored is in my rotation.

And it differs from vendor ......

My VG unflavored from wizard labs tastes (and smells) much "smokier" than my VG unflavored from CCV ???
It actually smells a little like ash-tray .... Not a big fan of it but its like 1/4 the price as the stuff from Crystal Clear Vaping and I have a metric ton to vape up.

Its so different even mixed with 10-12% flavoring I can tell the difference between the two base liquids.

I went in phases. Started with tobaccos, then coffees, then fruit. When my "go to" honeysuckle vendor went out of business, I figured I'd try unflavored until I could track down a new supplier. After vaping about 6ml of the unflavored I went back to the honeysuckle and it was too sweet. I've been vaping unflavored ever since (24mg, 100% VG, from MyFreedomSmokes. Roughly $45 for 1000 ml), and the difference in how long coils/wicks last is amazing, not just on my REOs, but on the wife's Ego's too. The cost savings is also HUGE, I probably spend $1-$2 a week to vape.

And +3 likes to Aarhus, I dilute my 24mg unflavored down to 20mg with water, making about 180-240 ml at a time, and it doesn't get much simpler. 5 parts nic juice, 1 part water and we're set for weeks.

I am intrigued.

I have spent alot of money on alot of juice that I hated. Still haven't found much that I can actually vape all day.
This thread has me thinking I need to try unflavored.

Is there any taste at all to it?

EDIT: I already have a big bottle of HUMCO VG from wallyworld....do I just need to buy a bottle of my level nic and mix it up? (Please forgive my noobness)
