PH Testing
submitted almost 11 years ago by simpleone234Mixologist

Hey fellow DIY'ers! I'm wondering and hoping that someone has been doing PH tests on their final products? I'm curious and plan to start testing some of mine. I've been playing with PH adjusters like citric acid and malic acid and it brings up questions such as "why does lowering the PH make certain juice taste better?" and "Is there an ideal range or sweet spot for PH on the juices I like to vape?" Are there base adjusters out there? I have access to some simple color tests but I also have access to a machine that can give me a PH to the hundredth. I plan to start either Friday or next week, and if I find anything valuable, I'll post. Thanks everyone!

Nicotine is most biologically active and potent in solution at ~pH 8.5 (optimum free hydroxys). Lower pH juices may seem calmer due to the nicotine not having as strong of a 'bite'

Even if you don't find anything i'd be interested to hear it. Thanks for the noble work

You could always use citric acid to make a juice more acidic. For alkalinity... I'm really not sure what would be best/safest/not bad tasting.

I'm curious what the best kind of PH test would be for juice, since it's not really an aqueous solution usually (aside from whatever bit of moisture the VG captures, and possible use of saline or distilled water in some recipes).
