I was curious if anyone in the sub knows how to, or what ingredients, would give the eliquid the illusion of being fizzy/carbonated. Two "premium" brands I can think of immediately are Glas Fizzy Lemonade & Ramune E-liquid. I'm wanting to immitate what theirs feel like but am fairly new to diy.
Soda Base by Real Flavors SC
I will add this to my next order and give it a shot. Thanks for the recommendation!
Huh, I might have to try this...I have a couple of recipes it could work well with.
Does awesome in my cherry coke, baja mountain dew, and Cuba libre recipes.
VT fizzy sherbet is supposed to be best. Not that anything will totally replicate carbonation .
After my limited testing so far, VT Fizzy Sherbet doesn't play all that well with colas, as it has a lemon-y vibe. Great at making slightly off-flavoured cola recipes.
My main 'fizzy drink' profile involves alcohol (beer, cider, mixed drinks) so that could be covered.
I do wonder... molinberry makes a concentrate called 'fizzy'... I need to find if it is any better.
I dont know if this was psychological or not, but when i was playing around with TFA Hpno type, and TFA Citrus Punch...both seem to have a very light carbonated effect. I wouldn't describe it as a fizz in your mouth, but the tingle on the edge of your tongue, and mouth feel both had a certain carbonated quality..then again, everyone else says otherwise and this is impossible, therefore it could have been a psychological effect. Anyone else tried either of these flavourings care to share their opinion?
damn, downvoted 8 points for re-iterating what this whole subreddit has been saying on this fizzy subject? damn, no wonder this place is falling apart lmao
Want to know what creates the illusion on a liquid being fizzy?
The label, the pure simple idea of putting the word "fizzy" on the bottle. It's a placebo.
Just like putting "premium" or "rare", "exotic"...
The opposite effect would be "cheap" or "bath-tub juice".
There is and will never be, anything that can reproduce carbonation in ejuice.
I tried VT Fizzy Sherbet and it tastes like lime candy to me. I let two other people try it and did tell them the name. They swore it tasted fizzy.
No, but there can be imitation and certain flavours that our tongues are conditioned to associate with carbonation such as cola, energy drink, lemonade etc.
It's been a long trekked journey, and one that many can say among trying a cola vape..is this.
"WOW! This taste..mhmmm!! This taste JUST like vanilla/cherry/orange/cream cola/dr. pepper/generic cola... .. ..if it were flat"
That conditioning you're taking about is also a placebo.. its your mind tricking you into thinking that carbonation is there, even when its not.
Kudos, I've made hundreds of batches towards a mountain dew vape, even made the pitch black one back a few years ago, but ultimately, a mixer's best trick is the placebo flavoring.
"This vape will take you back to the 80's...a cold orange smoothie on a hot day. Orange Julius"
You could put that on a label, and if someone wants to believe it, they will. (Turns out the label said one thing and the recipe said it was a strawberry/cream... (saw this happen in real life by a local shop owner.)
It's fool's gold to believe in fizzy vape juice lmao, and senior mixers are pulling your leg if they are telling you otherwise.
No one is saying it is 'real', or that you can achieve an actual fizzy e liquid. There's a reason everyone here is using the word 'illusion'. You are deluded if you don't think there are certain flavours that complement and bring our the illusion to make it more 'believable', which is exactly what OP is asking.
You're trying to correct people with your 'knowledge', but you're doing it with the misinterpretation that others think a carbonated e liquid is a real thing - they don't.
You're saying the illusion comes from just the label, I'm saying it's using a combination of flavours. People want to believe, just like you said. So let's help them believe.
Absolutely agreed. The name/label of a juice or flavoring will have a lot to do with how the taster perceives it. A lot of beginner mixers take the names of concentrates for face-value, not really considering their applications outside of namesake.
For example, I use Key Lime TPA to add the supposition of carbonation, even though the description or outward expectation of it doesn't mention "fizz" at all. The sour bite on the tongue gives the feeling of fizz. But I guess this info comes with doing research or your own experimentation...
You must not have tried either of the liquids I've mentioned. I know what a placebo is, and Ramune doesn't even advertise as being fizzy. It was a splurge buy and fell in love with the "fizziness"
..Doesn't advertise as being fizzy?? Might wanna go recheck that...
https://www.eliquid.com/collections/ramune
"The lemon with its tangy characteristics combined with the refreshing sweet fizziness effects of Ramune will satisfy your taste buds. Once you try this flavor, it will leave you hooked."
"The blueberry fruit spreads through with the refreshing sweet fizzy Ramune, which makes this eliquid characteristics unique."
"The refined sweetness of melons accompanied with the refreshing sweet fizziness effect of Ramune, makes this eliquid very satisfying."
To clarify what Ramune is: Ramune is a popular, Japanese, sparkling lemon-lime beverage - now enjoy it in fizzy candy form! Candy comes in a (plastic) "Ramune" bottle, just like the drink.
It's like Japanese mt dew/sprite (depending on lemon/lime as both are citrus drinks), honestly.. this looks like..
Blueberry Fizz- Baja Blast Mt Dew (one of the most common variations of vape mt dew, (dang, error, I think baja is raspberry..but eh, it depends on the maker I guess)
Lemon Fizz- Sprite or a common citrus punch/lemon
Melon Fizz- Unique variation of citrus punch with melon added.
All probably with like 5% of some kind of champagne.
Nowhere on their packaging does it say fizzy. ( Got mine at a B&M) I also know what the beverage Ramune is, but thanks for the unnecessary lessons. I can't believe youve put this much time and effort into something you didn't even want to answer in the first place.
Search the sub. Search with Google. Do the work.
Fizz has been discussed at length here. It's not possible. Fizz perception is.
That's exactly what I'm asking. I've looked it up and did some leg work. This post is part of said leg work. I wanted to know "what creates the illusion of fizzy eliquid" Thanks for being such an upstanding helpful member of this sub. :)
I'm a bit disconnected but back in my day most folks used TFA Champagne for fizz effect.
