Since alcohol has the tendency to evaporate very quickly, are there any alcohol related effects? As in, can you get drunk from smoking? =) I know you would definatly need a very strong liquor since one only inhales a small amount of liquid per hit.

Thankfully no, you won't get drunk or even a buzz off inhaling alcohol through an e-cig. (thankfully because I enjoy vaping my absinthe everywhere I go too much)

Similar principles to putting booze in a hookah. You're going to get a buzz from the lack of oxygen due to too much smoking before you get a buzz off the booze.

In an e-cig, if you are working on it very hard, you can inhale about half a teaspoon of alcohol per day - and it will take long hours and hard work to get it. Alcohol-wise, e-smoking is somewhere on the level of taking cough drops. Actually, in some medications you get ten or more times more alcohol as through an e-cig.

Nice to see some other Absinthe Afficianados here. There are actually a few really good real absinthes available in the US now. They recently revisited the laws and now allow Absinthe with Grand Wormwood (Artemesia Absinthium) as long as they test below a certain amount of thujone, which a properly distilled absinthe should not have much anyways. I don't know how much money I spent buying from overseas the past 5 years, but it's nice not having to pay for all the shipping. I concur, Liquors de France (absintheonline.com) has the best selection of high quality Absinthe online. I used to order from them all the time, and the Jades made by T.A. Breaux are pricey, but IMHO the best available, especially the Eduard.

I just tried the Mansinthe for the first time this last week, and I think it's by far the best absinthe available in the US at the moment. And I've tried most of them. The Matter-Luginbuhl distillery makes some of my favorite absinthes, and Mansinthe was no exception. I'd also reccomend Kubler, Lucid, Clandestine La Bleu, and St George, but stay away from Le Tourment Vert and Mata Hari, they're horrible. Pernod and La Fee are OK, but not great. You can find most of these a your local BevMo, or drinkupny.com is a good online retailer.

I think I came up with the perfect recipe for Absinthe E-Juice the other day, it's lovely. The measurments aren't exact, but close enough.

35% Tobacco flavored e-juice
20% PG
20% VG
15% Absinthe (I used Mansithe)
10% LorAnn Licorice Extract

Well I said I`d do an update.

This is my leg so far. I`ve just had a second touch up session and theres a bit of work to go in it yet. Still got to have the background done and I`ve decided to have a banner above it reading La Fee Verte (the green fairy)
Pictures dont really do it justice , taken on a camera phone and its still a bit swollen and itchy!!!!!!!

Currently about 12.5 hours into it but well happy with it so far

I`ve just had the last of my Mansinthe . I wouldn`t say it was the best but totally acceptable as a daily drinker (in moderation, of course). I did find that it was a little thin in the mouth no matter what water ratio I drank it with. All the flavours were there though so I`d definately buy it again.

Just ordered this:-
Eichelberger German absinth

it`s getting some good reviews on Feeverte so fingers crossed.

BTW, I use the 50% absinth DIY daily with a 2-month-old atomizer and it seems to keep it in good shape. I think it might have something with the high alcohol content cleaning the coil or something. (I have to say I will stop when I get those LorAnn flavours eventually - it does get boring to have just one zero nic liquid).

P.S. Nice leg. Lot of pain, though

In the UK they have a stupid science show, it was on G4 for a while in the US, anyway they tested whacky ways to get drunk
One thing they tested going into a sauna and used vodka to create steam
They did get drunk and I think it was faster and more intense then if they just drank it straight


Side note I bought a bottle of Kubler when they first relaxed the ban
Had 2 drinks and gave it away, absinthe is gross
I'll stick with a single malt scotch

This sounds like a wonderful idea! I will try it with Trillium Absinthe (Made here in Portland). I will tell you how it goes.
