Disagree, all my mates vape a nicotine flavour that doesn't smell or fill the room with smoke.

I was an occasional smoker in days past but then i started smoking when i was under a load of stress at work (Mainly mixed with a sticky substance) i ended up quitting that and then i started vaping. I did that for a while and ended up just reducing the nic content down every time i went to buy some liquid until i was on 0 then i binned it. It doesnt really phase me at all anymore.

So they do vape a flavour...
That seems to just be the colour band that most flavourings naturally are. They're food flavourings. It seems that the sweeter they are, the darker brown they go.I do wonder if it's something really stupid, to vaguely match the colour of tobacco
I know a lot of people that have just ended up with far worse nicotine addictions since switching to vaping from smoking. Nicotine is still a harmful drug, particularly in the concentrations people are hooked on these days.
Personally I went from smoking to vaping, tapered off the nicotine levels, and within a week of getting to zero nicotine, realised how ridiculous it all was, tossed all my vaping kit and haven't touched it since. 6-7 years ago now I guess.

I went from smoking (45 years) to lozenges for a couple of years and eventually doing cold turkey but by then the desire for a nicotine hit was very low.
Vaping is too much like smoking with all the hand and mouth actions and the inevitable hit. Sucking a lozenge for a minute or two felt different was less obvious and obnoxious to others nearby.

I’m down to 3mg thats the lowest i can get.
Keep an eye out for some 0mg juice. If you can get some, mix it 50/50 with your 3mg juice to make 1.5mg
Vaping is far more addictive than smoking, also the micro metals that are inhaled etc has to be horrendous for us. Stopped now for a few years, now addicted to nicotine pouches.
Yeah I went down to 1.5. It's amazing how even that tiny amount can keep you properly hooked though....certainly easier going to 0 from a very low concentration.
Once you can break free and stick to 0mg for just a couple of weeks, it's incredible how easy it is to just stop, once you've escaped the addiction.
The Allen Carr Easy Way to quit smoking I found very good, and the mindset that gets you in made stopping the vapes super easy.

Yeah it’s definitely on the cards in the new year to completely quit the nic.
I used vaping to quit smoking, which contains about 65 carinogens.
Vaping isn't safe but is far safer then smoking. If used as a quitting tool, it works and has done for many. Just like Ozempic, western world has a obesity epidemic, instead of losing weight old fashioned way, some bright spark designed a treatment. Way of the world.
In fact I think it was Jimmy Carr that stated he read a study that outside the western world , smoking had actually risen.

It depends on the manufacturer. FlavourArt (FA) for example (an Italian company) have ones that are safe for vaping, but they also have a separate line as food grade concentrates. They've done extensive testing on their 'vaping' concentrates (e.g. https://www.clearstreamonward.com/en/fuji/).
LorAnn on the other hand (an American company) were found to have oil in their e-liquid concentrates. Some also contain diketones (diacetyl/acetyl propionyl) which is what caused that whole 'popcorn lung' malarky a while back.
Most concentrates are colourless. Some, let's say FA Chocolate Glazed Doughnut have a darker colour to them but that's due to how it's manufactured. Any obnoxious fluorescent e-liquid you see on a shelf, is food colouring.
As far as a liquid turning brown in a tank, that's more than likely the sweetener they add (Sucralose/Stevia) at around 30% concentration iirc.
I did the exact same thing but recently my wife has started vaping again, not even interesting flavours, just mint..

Nicotine doesn’t have a flavour?

There you go, the liquid with the nicotine in is flavourless and smokeless unlike countless of others.

Point me in the direction of it, please.
