Sterile saline in e-liquids?
- Thread starter koolzerro
- Start date
Any perceived improvement that I experienced ( which was quite minimal ) was vastly offset by the coil clogging effects that saline brought to my mixes. You might be okay with adding a few drops here and there but IMHO, adding any more than that just isn't worth it.

I used to use it in some of my caramel-type diy recipes, but it is definitely a clogger
Funny, I was thinking about giving going at it again, to see if it would be worth it now that I have a better re-wicking routine than I did a year ago

I've tried it, kills your coils and I really didn't notice any benefit. I remember when it was a huge discussion over there.

I think it really depends on the recipe whether saline can improve the flavor or not
You could try 0.5% ethyl maltol (aka cotton candy), 0.5% Marshmallow and there's another I'm forgetting... if it comes to mind, I'll pop back in. Anyone else?
Meringue....
Does that moisten up a vape? I haven't used it in quite a while. Good info!Meringue....
Perhaps Huck, personally I never had the problem the OP is asking about.....was just a thought after you mentioned EM and marshmallow......
That's the beginning of a very bad joke
I'm not sure what you mean by wetness on your lips.Sent from my SM-S120VL using Tapatalk

I think wetness is like sweetness. I never really understand wetness but I havent vaped a lot of vendor juice either, anyways my opinion is it just comes down to flavors. some are dryer some are sweeter. I know personally I have never had a positive experience with saline or distilled water
Thats what i'm looking for
but at 70/30 i feel it quite dryWhen the words fail... music speaks!
So you think it will be a good idea if i try some sweetener?

lol that was an un-caffeinated half thought and now I re read and it does seem like I am saying they are the same but thats not really what I was getting at. I dont think sweetener will solve your problem. my opinion is it has a lot to do with the flavors themselves. Ill use coconut as an example. to me Fa coconut has a very dry type vibe going on I think its very useful to fluff things up but I dont much care for it by itself. the VZ or SC whatever you want to call it taste pretty similar to Fa coconut but just a little sweeter and less dry. Ill use that one if Im already working with some other dry flavors. TFA coconut extra is not very dry at all compared to the other 2 and very sweet but has a different flavor. really powerful and goes great in a lot of different profiles.So you think it will be a good idea if i try some sweetener?

you could try to incorporate flavors that add that "wetness" in small amounts if it compliments the mix. for instance cactus. a lot of people dont like it, personally I love it. I like it just by iteslf but anyways when i vape cactus it makes my mouth water and taste very sweet to me. if I add just a little to something similar in profile it can be considered a booster. brightens it up and makes it pop without really tasting the cactus. same goes for flavors like huck was saying marshmallow etc.
I havent used additives in my vapes in years. sweetener ruins vapes and EM doesnt have a taste really it just changes the way your taste buds perceive flavor for a short period of time. to me it feels like it wraps flavors like suran wrap. just kinda deadens the flavor.
the best thing to do is just try it. try some saline, try some water, try different flavors and come to your own conclusion. we are just a bunch of weirdos on the interenet lol.
p.s. dont believe everything you read at the other place. they are all just sheep....... KIDDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read my blog.
What some use is a .9% solution of saline, at 1 drop per 10ml.
I would think .9% in the recipe would be too much, but I have no experience using it.
Fresh03 uses it in some of his recipes.

I'm fairly new to all of this but I use Marshmallow in at least half my recipes in small percentages. Not sure about moistness ... maybe it adds some ... but it certainly adds a thick creamy feel to the vape. It will also help mellow out any harshness.
I find that Cactus as wllmc mentioned and Cucumber flavours add a slight hint of moistness to the vape. However in my brief experience they need to be used in very small percentages ... like .5% or less or they both change the flavour a fair bit. Especially the Cucumber that I have ... it has a very cucumber rind taste to it. But both flavours IMO give a slight juiciness to the vape if that's what you're looking for.

It appears to be? All I could really find on that specific product is that it's NaCl and purified water. Preservative freeThis should be okay?
