"lemon juice"

That's what they mean. I've tried it before, but got nothing from it. If I need to perk up a flavor, I can add a tad of another to do enhance it.
That's wierd cuz talking about things you shouldn't Vape, you think that wouldn't be one you couldn't...
There is no way that "premium brands" put that in their ejuice?
I honestly don't know. One more reason to DIY, LOL.
The ingredients label on lemon juice mentions oil. Not meaning to be argumentative, just noted that when I looked at it.
That's probably because the big machines crush the rind and you inevitably get oil from the rind or for some reason they add oil.
This is why orange juice is slightly bitter, because there is rind "juice" in there. They squash the hell out of oranges to get the juice.
Looks like you have to squeeze your own lemons for oil-free juice.

It's definitely an oil/ has oil in it... Trust me they go out of their way to peal the rind, they are in business to get paid lol. Their is no way that's good for you..
I will thanks.
Just to add to this note, don't use more than 2% (at least true for citric acid), or it will taste like .....
I'd hate to say this because I get chastised on other forums for saying it, but here it goes...
If anyone thinks inhaling PG and/or VG and flavorings (oil, di-acetyl, asbestos or not) on a regular basis is not bad for you, I think we as a community have another thing coming to us in the next 10 years.
I'm not saying a person should not avoid oils and suck, but let's not get carried away with "healthy". We are smokers who smoke something other than smoke from burning plant matter.
Nothing's healthier than straight-edge. Admittedly, nothing more boring either...

I think of us as ex-smokers (although the antz would argue otherwise) who have discovered a healthier alternative. Yes, antz, it does look like smoking ....
But regard "straght-edge." Pardon me?
Hmmm. Thoughts are processing.
I think healthy vs healthier is the key approach. Sure it isn't healthy, but neither is eating a dozen doughnuts. However, vaping 12mls of doughnut flavored ejuice has made a significant impact on my health (lost 23lbs in 3 months from switching to vaping from cigs with a work out plan).
No one should get chastized for making a comment. But an occasional strong rebuttals do happen. Remember, discussing how we vape and how to do it better helps with making "healthier" choices. I'm for one to say yay for vaping down with oppression and all that blah blah blah.

Yea man congrats on the weight loss.
I know a few people this has happened to.
I'm sure vaping isn't heathy but either is the amount of sugar we put in our bodies, the microwave, processed food, I could go on and on.
I choose vaping because I was going to smoke anyways.. So why not take the healthier road.

Exactly. We would never say it's healthy and vendors sure as hell better not make such a claim.
You are correct though, it's damn sure a healthier alternative. And great fun.
Damn right it's fun, keeps my mind bussy... I was a 11 year pill banging junkie.. It controlled my life, I couldn't do anything unless I had my fix, if I didn't have anything I would get supper sick. 2 years and 1 month sober.
Huge congratulations, Double_ohm7!
And I'm glad I misread your post originally and you weren't an 11-year-old pill popper.
Seriously, though, kudos!

Big congrats on the sobriety from me as well! Super tough to kick the hard stuff as I had a hard enough time kicking the hemp cousin... And welcome to VU! You're in the right place with lots of good folks ready to help you on your DIY journey!

That is a weird phrase which precisely describes vaping. Most start to quit smoking, a course of action which works more often than not. Some struggle, some don't but a change occurs and vaping becomes a thing in and of itself. Once one stops thinking about cigarettes (which occurs at some point without overt effort) a few folks quit vaping but it seems the majority of us enjoy the vaping too much to consider a time when it's not an important part of our lives. We're drawn together as a community because of it and life-long friendships are formed around it.
Thank you for reminding me.

That just it, after awhile it just takes over.. If you enjoy what you are doing, weather it be vaping/sobriety/ it will just take over..
Too many friends, and many more.

Funny how this went from "lemon juice" to this.

Well your life story is an inspiring one and.. Oh look squirrel...

This really cannot be preached enough. So many people who vape think its 100% harmless but that's doubtful. Breathing city air is harmful so I would imagine that breathing high concentrations of PG, VG and food flavorings is not particularly good for us. It's about harm reduction and getting people off cigarettes which are incredibly more dangerous than vaping.
Probably because someone saw a weird shift in this thread and a couple others over the last few days the were starting to go less than positive. Maybe easier to shift a conversation.
Positivity goes a long way and is more fun to reply to. Plus I really like lemon and lemon Sicily FA.

On to the lemon and lemon Sicily... You put real lemon in your mix of fa sickly?
Well that's why I posted it, but the feed back totally went in the wrong direction... as I stated before, I'm sure they don't peal the lemons, they just through them into a machine and make juice as quick as possible... That leaves all the oil sacs in the peals crushed along side the lemon...
From what I have researched vaping oils is not good. Lol
