Why buy 0mg liquid?

[yvilla]

This is a genuine question, not a criticism of anyone. But I can't help wondering as I read posts about people wanting to buy 0mg liquid - why on earth would anyone want to do that? When it's so easy and much less expensive to simply buy pg and/or vg and your own flavorings (Lor Ann or Bickford's for example).

Commerical liquid is necessary and probably cost-effective for its nicotine content, as it is really hard and potentially dangerous to make your own, and extremely difficult to know what strength you'd be getting if you did try, but I'm totally clueless as to why people are buying the stuff without nicotine!

I think you have to cut the pg with some water and add flavor etc.
Nothing is simple it seems. I think there is a recipe on the DIY thread under tips and tricks.

Hi Yvilla,

I'm just a noob, but I can only guess that one can use the 0 mg to cut back the nic in the liquid without loosing flavor.

A while back, I had a dumb accident and got a mouthful of 11 mg. Afterwards, I couldn't vape or smoke anything for a few days. Yet I still had the hand-mouth impulse and ordered some 0 mg for that reason. I still have some in my pantry. After I got home from the hospital, I still wanted to smoke, despite my plan to use only 0 mg. What a sicko, I am!



I've tried to mix my own, but it just didn't work for me. I prefer to buy it premade.

May i ask how you got a mouthful?

 

[LakotaRose]

I was trying to revive a dead atomizer. After I put a few drops of liquid in, I forgot to put a blank cart on the device.

 

[MoonMan]

You went to the hospital for getting a few drops of 11mg in your mouth?

 

[tr1age]

Ouch. I have gotten liquid in my mouth before from teh cart itslf. what was the difference between what you needed to be hospitalized for and the amount we all usually get from pulling?

 

[LakotaRose]

Hmmm. My hospital experience was because of a colloid brain cyst. Although, I may be playing the "brain surgery" card for a while in case I need to explain my oddities.

Another reason is you don't "need" the nicotine. This may sound weird, but I don't think I'm addicted to nicotine. I'm definitely addicted to smoking... if that makes sense.

In my case it was just simpler. I would love to learn to make my own 0-nic eliquid eventually, but at first glance at the DIY Liquid board, I just found it all fairly daunting.

This is a pretty easy starting place for diy eliquid Vangelus - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/5066-eliquid-recepies.html

I can make my own zero liquid but like some of the commercial flavours like RY4 and such.

 

[paulhampson]

I buy 0mg because I want the flavour, I like smoking and I also want a base liquid that I can cut with a low or medium strength depending on how I am feeling. I vape too much and seem to be developing shakes form the nic.

If you want to know why I don't make my own, that's a slightly silly question, its the same reason i don't bake my own bread.

 

[ed_bollix]

I huff zero most of the time and use low or med if I am stressed and feel the need for some nicotine. I started at med when I started e-smoking and gradually worked to zero. I LOVE e-cigs and don't plan to stop using then even though I'm confident I wouldn't go back to analogs at this point. I like the whole experience and love the taste.

 

[peachette]

I bought 0nic because I had three half bottles of 24 mg e-liquid and wanted to cut my nic down to 12 mg. I used the 0nic to cut the dosage and frankly I can't tell a difference. The flavor is not decreased either.

 

[ainako]

isn't bickford's flavor ok to vape all by itself? Now sure how much vapor it makes though, but I think it might be cheaper just to buy bottles of bickfords for zero nic juice.

10 years ago I quit smoking for a year by dragging on a unlit cigarette for the first couple weeks it worked quite well.I would like to go to 0 nic.

So far I am NOT loving the LorAnn DIY stuff.
I am having a time with it..too sweet, too weak..too whatever! besides I can't get a Loranns 555 or RY4. I do like some of the fruit flavors in o nic, I'll keep tinkering with those.

anyone on here that has or does vape 0mg nicotine juice,,, do you still get any sort of throat hit? i think that if i could still get the throat hit, and the flavor, the lack of nicotine wouldn't phase me too much...

 

[JustJulie]

I've bought a few 0 nic solutions, but for the most part, I make my own. But the Tennessee Cured from JC is one that I haven't been able to mimic, so I continue to buy that from time to time.

The only throat hit I manage to get from 0 nic juice is when I add menthol crystals to the solution and vape it in my Screwdriver . . . and even that is sometimes hit and miss. (I bought the menthol crystals on eBay.)
