submitted over 11 years ago by Spaniiard

I use concentrated lemon juice at 1 drop per 10ml for my fruity mixes that I want to have a sharp flavor. If I want a subtle fruit after taste in a more complex mix, I use 1 drop per 15ml.

I've used FW Sour and, to me, it is very comparable to the lemon juice, but a little sweeter. To save money I just use the lemon juice.

Its all about personal taste. Experiment a lot, document everything.

That's what I use. As long as it doesn't have any added sugar you should be OK.

is lemon juice safe to vape? should you filter it? concentrate it?

Get yourself a bottle of citric acid in the canning section of your grocery store. It makes anything you want sour, and a little goes a long way.

what concentration and what base liquid do you use? Already got Citric Acid.

I actually just add it to vegetable glycerin. I don't have any real base liquid.
