I have a CO2 tank at home and I force carb water daily. Addiction. It only takes 24 hours or so to steep concoctions. Probably a function of carbonic acid or something. Wonder how it compares to E-Juice. Just getting started with E-Juice so we shall see. Just curious if anyone else does this..
Your ideas intrigue me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. I have no experience with the matter but hope you will update us.
Brigade 2506 soda anyone?
Lol nice. Yeah or any cigarette soda. So tasty.
Reminds me of when I was 14 at a frat party and some douchehandle offered me a beer that a bunch or bros put their cigarettes out in. Fortunately some benevolent lampjaw snatched it from me before I took a sip and went out and scolded them for being chodes

Oh I would for sure not add nicotine. I would just use this as a medium to approximate recipes. I’m not sure how different the effective taste will end up being but I’m going to start today and report back as soon as i can. I guess my procedure will be to mix the recipe at 10% strength in flavored water the day before I determine a steep is sufficient. I’ll determine if 10% is comparable in mouthfeel and adjust from there If the soda compares reasonably well to the vape, which I suspect it might, then I’ll know that fine tuning a recipe might be realistic to attempt on a much smaller timeframe. This could provide unlimited fine tuning before before wasting months of time and/or product, as well as not losing context or ending up bored with a project!
I don't think the idea is to have nicotine soda. It's to test flavoring by taste first.

Ever tried inhaling CO2 after shaking a soda bottle? Its.. not nice. If you would leave actual CO2 in the end product I'd be skeptical. Also a factor for slow "steeping" of ejuice is the high viscosity of the solvents involved. Water would work considerably faster on principle, with or without soda. I'm not saying don't try it, just that these are the issues I see with it.
You don’t huff Perrier do you? Yeah CO2 stings. I carb my water to 7 bars—so bubbly it’s like pop rocks. I’d probably carb these mixtures to 3 bars and refrigerate. I do it all of the time when infusing alcoholic beverages. A little CO2 will meld herbs and flavor additions fairly rapidly I’m not sure how it works but it seems to force the integration of aromatics into a cohesive “global” profile as opposed to layers of unincorporated aromas/flavors. If CO2 too drastically transformed the taste I could let it go flat. C02 definitely does change flavors. I’d also be using distilled water to eliminate off-flavor issues.
Anyway, I really haven’t thought this out much. Just an idea I had last night.
Makes me wanna try sodas of all of then communities DIY juices!
The difficulty with e-juice is trying to get flavors to work in vapor form. Kinda like hackintosh (ie., Mac does not want to be installed on this random mobo but by god I'm gonna make it happen). Smelling or even tasting juice doesn't always tell you what it vapes like. And beyond just flavors there's throat hit, mouth feel, and the myriad of variables that wattages, coils, and tanks cause. So vape juice is tested with a vape.
Yeah, astute. Tbh I suspect you’re right and that this won’t translate. But I’m gonna fuq with it
What the fuck are you asking? Do we use carbonated water in place of ejuice? Because that would be unbelievably retarded.
Or are you asking about putting carbonation in ejuice like you would water? Because that's only borderline retarded.
If you mean putting DIY flavorings into water to flavor it for drinking, then yeah you can do that, why not. It's food flavoring after all. Some LB VIC or FW Hazelnut goes great in a cup of coffee.
