It's so incredibly obvious that that would happen that I sincerely believe that that's part of the intent.
Not to mention that all of this noise about flavored vape juice being some sort of underhanded scheme to rope in kids is one of the most ridiculously dumbass things that I've ever seen gibbering idiots apparently sincerely claim to believe. Well - this side of Qanon at least...
When I started vaping, premixed juice was the exception rather than the rule. So what you generally bought was nicotine extract, propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycerin, AND FLAVORING. Flavoring it was the standard literally from day one.
Nicotine juice is flavored and has been flavored all along for two very simple reasons: first and foremost because on its own, it tastes like crap, and second because everybody - not just kids but EVERYBODY - likes for things to taste good.
I am so fucking tired of assholes and idiots.
Come on, you know adults don't like things that taste good!
"Gimme a drink that burns like fuck going down and tastes like old wood."
"Here's your whiskey. And for you, sir?"
"I want the same burning, but can mine taste like pine sol?"
"Here's your gin."
"Burn, of course, but I have this cough"
"One jaegermeister coming up"
