What is your jaded palette cure?

[CDnerds]

If your like me.. after a heavy day of vaping your palette will suddenly become jaded. All the flavor of your juice is suddenly stolen from you. You are left with flavorless vaping until it goes away..

Since im going through this as we speak - I thought id start a thread about it.

What do you do? What juice do you vape to break past this?

What is your cure for the jaded palette? If this is one..

I just vape my diy unflavored for a few days. It's nice to take a break when I can't taste the flavors or they become annoying heh

Obviously you would want it to be an appropriate nic content, but it works, and it's actually not bad at all. I vape unflavored e-liquid alot.

EDIT: If the "jaded palette" is not wanting to let up, I find that adding Koolada, just enough for a small cold hit, to the unflavored helps alot.

What is koolada? Do you have a link? I'd like to try it

Koolada 10% PG Flavor Concentrate

It's like menthol, but without the menthol taste. It's used to produce that cold sensation in your mouth.

Be warned... I use about 3 drops(.15mL), per 10mL bottle. It does not take much to be overpowering.

I DYI but i never thought to just vape the base. Ill have to try that.. lol.

I do one of two things. Either I will vape unflavored for a bit, or I'll vape menthol. I'm not real big on menthol and I see it as little more than a palette cleanser.

Oh WizardLabs is GREAT. Almost all their flavors are actually TPA. The NIC base is super cheap, but good quality. Flavor of the NIC base is super clean and smooth, not "peppery" at all. It's the only place I've gotten DIY supplied from so far.http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/284576-wizard-labs-thread.html

I usually use Myfreedomsmokes for my nic base. This place seems a bit cheaper. Im going to give it a go - the flavorings are very reasonable. Putting an order in now.

Thanks!

Wizard labs is awesome btw, where I get my nic from exclusively.

Im waiting for more funds to come in so I can place another order. I REALLY have to learn this DIY stuff. Since I switched to using an RBA with SS Mesh wick, the flavors are better than ever before, and I find myself vaping through my liquid stash FAST... I'm talking I went from ~2mL/day to about 5-6mL/day... Unfortunately for me I'm about out of NIC base. That's what I get for thinking a 60mL bottle of 30mg would be plenty. Live and learn...

I use Tropical Ice form vaporalley like that. It says it's tropical fruit with some menthol……to me it tastes like ridiculously strong menthol that at one point was in the same room with fruit. Also, salty chips, soda water, bread, grapes (the real thing, not a juice), and (don't laugh at me) pizza rolls usually work okay.

I also mix it in with juice that is generally okay but with some overwhelming flavor I don't really like. But with the exception of madvapes's kona cream (worst thing I've ever tasted), if it vapes, it vapes well enough to get me to the next shipment when I'm low on juice……which I hope won't happen again.

Seriously? Is there ANYTHING that combination doesn't fix?

DYI is pretty easy when your dealing with single flavors. Just buy the nic base (flavorless ejuice) and add 2-5% flavoring. Add a drop of flavoring at time until your satisfied with the flavor and your done. If you going to buy nic base for the first time id suggest 18-24mg base because its like handling normal e-juice and is relatively safe. With 18-24mg - latex gloves will do for protection. There is 100mg base which is more cost effective but is highly toxic and should not be vaped. Its meant to be cut down. Nicotine is more toxic then organic arsenic so be careful.

Well see the problem with getting 18-24mg NIC base is that I vape 18mg @ 60VG/40PG. I found in my various mixings so far, that it is in fact very difficult to stay at 18mg NIC @ 60VG/40PG with even 30mg base. Since I knew that the flavors are PG based, I ordered 60mL of 100%VG NIC base, and 30mL of VG, and 30mL of PG, and then my flavorings.

Granted, all the reading I have done so far lead me to believe that flavors are generally 20%, unless using Tobacco Absolutes which are done at ~3%.

I made big mistakes mixing at even 10pct with many flavorings. So I start with 5 and work from there. Using 24mg base you should be near 18mg after flavorings. I mean its so cheap its worth having a go at .
