Lye / Sodium Hydroxide Alternatives?

Perhaps telling us why you don't want lye or calcium hydroxide would be a good place to start finding a suitable alternative?
Always feels to me irrespective of amount of washes, there's always a harshness to the resultant smoke when used as an e-juice.
I'm attributing the harshness to the lye as that harshness is mitigated by the amount of washes, but never entirely.
Have you tried adding Citric Acid to your DMT e-juice? You can carefully add it to neutralise or nearly neutralise the Freebase, you end up with a slightly tangy lemon character to it. You'll need to get some PH Test Strips 6.4-8.0 so you can aim for pH7, don't add too much Citric Acid like I did the first time and make yourself feel tangy for about 2-3 days!!!
I think I made 3ml of Juice with 800mg Spice and 100mg Citric Acid and got about 7.5pH which was loads less harsh on the lips, throat and lungs. Grind the Citric crystals nice and fine before mixing.

Okay. This sounds good.
I do have a pH meter as well, so no issue to test.
Many thanks.
Wash three times with basified de-io water as a matter of course.
I’d say the pH papers would be better as if only mixing up small volumes it may be hard to drop the meter’s probe in. You can just dip a cocktail stick / Tooth Pick in and wipe a tiny amount on the papers so very little waste.
You can use sodium carbonate.
Quels genre de récipient je peux prendre pour faire le mélange?
