First I would like to apologize to Keven if I sounded brusque(?) over the phone. I was kinda tongue tied to hear from you and pretty much could only say yes and no.
Okay...going to try and make some sense here. Spoke to Kevin on friday and got the nic on monday. It had the usual awesome packaging. Tried it with 12mg 100% VG and I could taste the nic compared to the VG without the nic. Mixed it 50/50 12mg and could still taste the nic. This is exhaling through my nose. On a regular exhale I taste nothing. There is no pepper taste. I smelled the 100% nic and there was a slight pepper smell. The smell is stronger in the 50/50 probably cause I did probably something wrong but still no taste! Maybe the taste I’m getting through my nose is what nic is supposed to taste like but it don’t taste funky like stuff from other places. I am not a super taster...must have only 6 taste buds and this is only what I taste.
Very happy with what I got.

Ok I am a newbie to both vaping and DIYing. I absolutely abhor the taste of any pepper any color or whatever. Now you can see why I am on the verge of giving up - but I won't yet. I am worried now though about the peppery taste:( please reassure me, I have been trying for almost 2 months to get something vapeable). I live month to month, so no middle month buying for me ugh.

This is the nic you want. I have no idea what those few are talking about when they say this nic is anything but flavorless. There is no pepper, no nothing. Order it and enjoy. :)

It's the cleanest nic I've ever found - no pepper, no taste!
 
holimakaru, I felt the same way on the day I mixed batches and tried them. After letting them steep for a week or so. Serious difference. I have some Nic from Vaper Mafia. I made identical batches. with Vt and Vm. I have been making a bunch of mixes lately with the VT nic and have noticed the cleanliness of it. But yesterday I went back to my favorite flavor. It wasn't meant to be a comparison. I put the VM juice in my tank and off I went to run errands. It was unvapable to me the peppery taste and just the yuk after taste. I went home cleaned out the tank and put the VT juice in my tank after a few vapes to get the yuk out it was heaven.

LOL !! I'm glad I made you laugh :) Seriously though, Why are people using saline ? It makes no sense to me. This ain't cookin'. I think this started, because the older nic bases just tastes nasty. Trying to make the flavors pop so to speak. If the nic is neutral, there is no need to add salt. Why add to more dehydration ? My flavors taste amazing without salt. :)

Well, In all fairness I haven't used it with the VT nic, or much of anything for a long time, but ....your dealing with "flavoring", and that, in it's self, is close to "cook'in"
You combo'ing flavors for a desired taste, and saline does bring out the flavors of certain juices.
It's such a mild solution, that it's not like "sprinkling the salt on" .. it doesn't even have a salty taste of it's own.
To me, it did make some of the fruits pop, when using the old nic.
It also helps chocolate .. just like in the kitchen.
Dehydration ?? .. nope..not "salty" enough for that. Actually it gives the opposite effect.
It adds a moisture feel in you mouth, and takes away that "throat catch" dryness felt by some.

from what I read the saline does not stay with the mix and diminishes rather quickly so your flavor changes to something else

You answered your own question
Like I said, I haven't tried it with the VT, since I don't use it anymore, but there were a few flavors I used it in, with the old nic.
I think it got started because it changes the PH of the juice, like the lemon juice and vinegar that people swear by.
It also takes the "bite" out of the juice just like it takes the bitterness out of a real grapefruit, and makes it taste sweet.
So, it was used to "smooth" a juice, by those that don't like a TH

I experimented with the lemon in fruits, and the vinegar with tobacco's, chocolate, just the "dark" juices.
I think Jimi's right about how there were a lot of additives used to try and make some of those "other" nic's vapable
Saline was/is the answer for a lot of vapers

BTY, I'm referring to the super (baby safe) .09 saline, without any additives, used to flush out wounds

Jimi, the reason for saline is obvious. When you fry an egg, do you season it with pepper alone? Nope, there is a magic combination of flavor, salt and pepper :). It's the perfect pair to season your egg, or to hide the crappy taste of your inferior nicotine.

I'll stick to the salty eggs. My inferior nic has been diluted in the septic.:D
