BillNyeTheSmokingGuy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi all, I make my own e-juice by extracting certain essential oils from a certain herb and infusing the oil with nicotine-free e juice. I've had success with this concoction for the most part, but I need to find a cartomizer of some sort that can produce enough heat to vaporize the oil and not clog the atomizer or burn it out. Does anybody have anything on this? This is of course 100% legal and I am not talking about any sort of drug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillNyeTheSmokingGuy Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I just read the post about drug talk and would like to reiterate that I'm not talking about marijuana. These are other herbs that are legal and produce no mind altering effects. The oil extraction is for flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe2003 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm not a chemist or medical professional BUT I have read and believe that vaporizing and inhaling oils is very bad for your lungs. Please research a lot more before you continue this practice. I may be very wrong concerning herbal essential oils but better to be safe than sorry. As far as an atty that will work,I don't think you'll be able to find one that won't gunk up quickly using something this thick. Jeffb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I concur with Joe. Oils & vaping don't mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillNyeTheSmokingGuy Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thats the thing though, it DOES work. And just fine, except the atomizer doesn't last, but I've had mixed results with different cartomizers. And I have done my research, the herb I'm speaking of is Mullein and when you extract the oils and smoke them (or if you just smoke the herb) it acts as an expectorant that clears your lungs, help ya cough up all those cigarettes. And it actually has a taste and hit reminiscent of an actual cig. So now instead of vaping to do no harm we vape to reverse some damage. There has to be something out there that works with this. It's not very thick either and it permeates well in the e juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) If you are determined to use the oil based liquid, the only suggestion I have is to use an atomizer and direct drip. You might also want to try using the LR versions or a high voltage device. The LR will burn hotter than a standard atomizer and a higher voltage device will make the standard atomizer burn hotter. I don't think it is the coil getting clogged, I think it is the filler in the cartomizer becoming saturated in oil and doing the clogging. Also, using either of the suggestions above, could alter the flavor of your liquid and you might have to add more of the oil. This could prove to put you back at square one.

BillNyeTheSmokingGuy Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 That was exactly the conclusion I've come to as well. But screw dripping drop for drop. Thats why I'm trying to find I guess a carto that wont clog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAYVAPE Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 OR, you could just let your lungs clear themselves on their own, and that does happen when you stop smoking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillNyeTheSmokingGuy Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 OR you could stop vaping smoking etc all together, but it tastes better than air so why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAYVAPE Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) My point is that MY lungs cleared themselves of all the tar/crap from cigarettes just fine... even after I started vaping daily. So, all I was getting at was that you don't even need to vape that plant oil stuff to get your lungs to clear out... just start vaping normal e-liquid, and they will clear on their own. However, you are welcome to vape anything you would like, and even this wonderful essential oil that you speak so highly of.

BillNyeTheSmokingGuy Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 lol I know. of course it would be easier to do it the normal way. But I'm trying to do something different.... besides, this way, your lungs clear up faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipahc Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yea, don't do oil. Thats not such a good idea. I personally talked with a herbalist and I think VG tincture is best. Whys everyone get smacked down when they talk about herbs? ooohhh, scary I saw the Cannabis post. Well forget that herb. There's more. We can't talk about herbs not being mind altering. How do you think teas calm, excite, and other herbal uses? Put away the Guana and caffeine! Its why the FDA is 'scared' herbs could be like 'drugs' so there trying to limit them. Lavender for calming, as well as calamine. Clove is also a disinfectant, and Ainse is supposed to be good and a ton of other things. I've only started. FDA seems to limit herbal knowledge in general. Looking for herbal info though. I'd rather vape my medicines than take pills anyway. You guys haven't heard Vape is the new medical delivery? Could use pharms, but really don't suggest that. Chemists need to do that, and keep that garbage. I'll take the ones I grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Caffeine is mind altering? Hope I dont get a DUI on the way to work tomorrow while I drink my Starbucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipahc Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yes. Hopefully not. I hope you can handle your Caffeine. "Caffeine is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive substance, but unlike many others, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all jurisdictions. In North America, 90% of adults consume caffeine daily" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoactive_drug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mega Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 mucinex helps clear the lungs to. even though seems the vaping does help get alot up. 3 months and still cough up alot every morning. 20 years of smoking will take time to clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
