Has anyone considered adding a couple of drops of liquid caffeine?

To be honest, no, mainly because I want to be inhaling as little as possible!

Be careful with any experiments with stimulant chemicals - they may be introduced into your body very rapidly.

I think caffeine is addictive, you won't be doing yourself any favours by taking up another potentially harmful addiction. There are less dodgy ways to get a caffeine buzz just like there are other ways to get a nicotine fix.

I found some on ebay. Somebody here had advice on where to get it in the States but I can't remember where that information is. I'll let you know if I find it.

I bought some liquid labelled "Glycerin B.P. (Glycerol)" from Boots the Chemist that they assured me was vegetable glycerine. Haven't used it yet, waiting to clear my first batch of nicotine juice, but it was dirt cheap at £2 for 200ml.

BP means it's (British) Pharmaceutical grade.

So I guess relatively safe?

Well, I use BP veg glycerine. I believe it's 99.5% pure. I can't say if it's safe but like I say, I use it.

Thanks for the info Kate. This stuff says it's 100% glycerol so I'll go with it.

I used to brew beers and wines and wondered about trying some of that technology on making e-juice. I ran my cooked tobacco juice through a couple of wine-making filters and it took out a lot of the crap, but it's still not clear enough to simmer down yet. Anyone know if wine finings would work?

[paxes]

you could try eggwhite lol.

What are wine finings Fatty?

You probably come accross lots of flavourings and additives if you're a home brewer. Is there such thing as liquid wine flavouring? If so is it free of junk or is it full of additives?
