Chasing the flavour.

then add this to neutralise the acidic flavour ... theoretically ...

be careful with plastic tanks with the malic so it says

So far my shopping list is as follows:

• PH paper strips
  
• Malic acid
  
• Magic Mask

Malic acid gets a mention in the magic mask
write up in the link Ash posted it doesnt alter the ph but it might mask
any vinegary acidy taste if your using vinegar to squash the alkaline
levels.
I want to get on with a bit of experimenting this theory could turn either way.

Apparently used in wine making ...

I would assume that the ecigexpress link and ingredients means it is safe to use so would look for similar ingredients disclaimers on anything sourced from other sites ...

The things that vaping teaches you eh?  

might be an idea to try and mix a fruit flavour as an experiment I reckon ... not sure vinegary tobacco or custard would be very appealing ... having said that, F'art do a potato flavour I think and a Fish flavour ...

Yes, experimenting required!

My plan: test juice for acidity, add malic acid until PH neutral (or maybe slightly acidic), add magic mask to hide the taste of the malic acid.

+1 for steeping!

Also, any ideas for an acidic additive for juices besides vinegar?

PS: anyone got any PH paper handy?

The chemists round our way are useless they dont stock litmus paper, if you ask for Bromothymol Blue eye brows start to raise the 12N Sulfuric Acid request is jaw dropping even though its diluted to less than 1%.
I would really like some kit that let me test the PH most suitable for my mixing needs, from there I could start looking at experimenting using vinegar.

Im like a broken record I know . . . but leaving your mixes to steep
and not being tempted to add extra flavouring after an hour, is another
way to avoid over flavouring!te here

For people coming into mixing. Its instinct to add more flavour and even start at high % of concentrate .
It all takes time and corner cutting is too tempting Ive had a couple of weeks vaping juices that die, now Ive learned the basics, Its good of you to keep chanting the mantra as there is going to be a constant stream of mix and vape same day people visiting the board.

Most Aqurium Shops sell PH and Acid testing Kits

LF are out of Magic Mask :-[

Are there any other UK suppliers?

Just done a quick search and I can't find anyone ... might be worth going to source flavourartexpress.biz/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=5

I'd check what their shipping times are since they have some 45 day lead time on their site ... not sure if that is correct or not ... might be worth an email
