Way to rehab bad juice?

[SharonMM]

I have a bunch of liqua that I ordered from fasstech... And my better sense told me it was a bad idea.. but a slew of decent reviews here plus the crazy low prices got the better of me.. so I had to do it. So here I sit with a dozen or so bottles of crappy juice that I can't vape.

But...

Maybe there's a way to "improve" it somehow? Like if I pick up some flavorings and added it to it would magically become vapable?

A little guidance here would be much appreciated.

FA Magic Mask


I read it will erase the flavor

It definitely can be done.

Although I like Halo Turkish, I gave it a little spin of my own and added some Hazelnut flavoring to it, it was the sweetest evening vape.

If all else fails, put some Ethyl Maltol in it

HEY BRAINFART ALERT- What would happen if I mixed it with the zero nic doubler flavors from tasty vapor?

What would Ethly mailtol do?

I have some power sucralose on hand... Can I just throw it in?

It's just a general purpose sweetener you can add to just about anything to sweeten it up and fix it that way, kind of like DIY eLiquid Duct Tape ... you mess something up, put a lot of Ethyl Maltol in it and then give it to a vaping newbie friend and watch them vape it all day long

One of my tricks since I used to smoke menthols is, obviously, add menthol! Masks even the most disgusting/strong/weird flavors. For grins I added some to a bottle of clove liquid I made up trying to blend the two, and after 3-5 drops in 20ml all I tasted was the menthol, no clove flavor at all, and this was a mouth-numbing, ultra-strong clove before that. Obviously this doesn't apply if you don't like menthol liquids, but still worth mentioning, as you don't need much and it won't dilute the nicotine or throw the PG/VG balance too terribly much.

mix the sucrose power with pg first.. then add a little at a time

i know more than one person that does exactly that and love the liqua

noooooooooooo LOL

i have some vendor juice that i swear is 40% EM, 40% flavor, 20% pg/vg and it is the most foul, stomach ache inducing stuff i have ever had
i have also tried "fixing" juice with sucralose....chemically, stomach ache, nastiness.....
if you do decide to go that route i believe the "rule of thumb" is one drop per ml (which i didn't know before)....and i don't recommend doing it to the entire bottle...try it in a smaller bottle first

Sucrralose can get bad quickly if you over do it. And sometimes all EM does is dim flavor. If you add enough you have cotton candy flavored what ever it was to start. I'd suggest adding a flavor that would complement the liqua base so that it becomes the under note. For example if it is a fruit add a stronger fruit that would complement it like strawberry on top of apple.

 

[djezewski]

If it is a really strong minty menthol you can cut it with pg/vg. Other than that add menthol..it overpowers nearly everything. In fact when my tanks get low and I need to dump to clean a tank I just take and put them in a juice bottle. I call it my dump bottle that always has some menthol in it, it works really well to get rid of this and that.

 

[SharonMM]

Oh these are great ideas. You diy wizards are AMAZING I am so in awe.
We are going to fix the liqua oh yesss we are. I'm pumped can you tell?

Okok so let's hammer out a plan:

First of all I can't do menthol but it was a novel idea that probably would work well...if I didn't hate it so much. But I do.

Next EM vs sucralose- do these basically serve the same purpose? If so I may be able to remedy some of this juice tomorrow! I realize the sucralose needs to be added in tiny amounts.. stuff is super concentrated! I definitely do not want to mute the flavor any... my primary complaint is that the flavor is too weak. Not bad really, just not enough.

Food flavorings- can I use regular extracts or concentrates from the grocery store?

Mint will erase certain flavors, or menthol. I can usually fix juice that is not strong enough, or needs "more" of a flavor that is already in there, but so far, I have not found a way to fix juice that I really don't care for the overall taste.

EM tends to smooth as well as sweeten and can dim flavors. Sucralose just sweetens but can get bitter.

Yes!NO!MAYBE! It depends on who you ask and what flavors. They tend to be not strong enough and you risk making the liquid to thin. That said I've used things like vanilla and almond flavoring as under notes. If your adding the same flavor type note to the mix you might get enough pump up with a very small amount. Make sure it has no additives like sugar or gums. Should be the flavor and alcohol.

I've only got a few Liquas, I think they're OK, except the tiramisu. But I just got another 30ml of the tiramisu to use it to "fix" other tobacco juices. Heck, I've been mixing stuff together almost from day one...like adding a little menthol (right in the clearo) to the dekang watermelon for example. Once I got my DIY stuff I found that a combo of coconut and EM took the cigar-ness out of one pre-mixed tobacco I didn't like.

My favorite sweetener is blue agave. If I mess up an eliquid recipe, I just add menthol crystals and/or dilute with more nicotine base.

if you have a crafts store that has candy/baking supplies like Michael's or JoAnn's...some of them carry lorann's...just read the ingredients. (some have essential oils that i would steer clear of) maybe even walmart cake/candy making section?
I got Lorann's cherry at JoAnn's and it was 2 1 dram bottles (1 dram=3.7ml) for like $3.99, from what i remember ingredients are alcohol, pg, flavor, and water.
They had other flavors but i wanted to start with just one

ETA: i will probably never be able to use both of those bottles LOL

I fix my juices with Sweet Cream 1-3%. Also, something with the name of Pie or Cake can smooth the taste out.

Any suggestions on a way to tone down Cinnamon? I've got some juice with Cinnamon Danish Swirl and it's way too much cinnamon. I also don't like menthol.

I'd probably try vanilla.

Cool thanks, will do. I've got a bunch of different Vanillas as well.
