Absinthe eJuice

... Sir_Puffalot, that is one subzero tattoo you have going there !!

Just found this thread... I wish absinthe (now that it's legal in the US) wasn't so expensive. A friend brought me some back from France but I already drank it all. It tastes like toothpaste (in a good way) to me and vaporizing it sounds delicious.

The smallest bottle will last you ages if you vape it. You only use a mililitre or so per day...

Liqueur Flavoring Essences

[Scaralouche]

this thread has officially brought me out of lurking. ive been coming here for a week, doing research on these contraptions and got my 510 on wednesday from esmokey treats.

i am a huge absinthe fan, as my username implies, and am rapidly becoming an ecig fan too. what better thing than to mix the two? thanks for going before me and i will use your experiences to make my lucid smokeable. wow. whodathought? i wonder what Ted Breaux would say to that?

Why wouldn't you just buy a bottle of anise flavoring? Wormwood contains arsenic and you probably don't want to be inhaling that imo.

I agree. I'd also be concerned about the sugar in the liqueur gumming up my atomizer. It's just licorice flavor anyway if you're not getting any of the effects of the absinthe.

Afteraffex, with all due respect, you cannot just say that. Site your source for that. Wormwood is a plant, arsenic is a rock. you cannot just make statement like that about a product that just had its stigma lifted. arsenic naturally is found in the drinking water here in albuquerque. trace amounts will not kill you, anyway. concentrates will. you can make the argument that it adds up, but i can be killed tomorrow walking my doggie.

the only reference i find of wormwood containing arsenic is a fiction book where an asteroid named Wormwood is destroyed, but its arsenic makeup peppers the earth and kills the planet's fish and poisons the water. there is no article i can find that says wormwood contains arsenic.

in a forum dedicated to dispelling myths and educating people about a mysterious product or device known as a personal vaporizer, how is it not ridiculous to throw a comment that a thing is poisonous, when the government JUST (a couple years ago) legalized it after much much much scrutiny and regulation.

i am sorry. i just cant let someone get away with saying something like that in this place. just doesnt jive with the mission of the forum, seems to me. isnt the act of smoking a PV an act of faith too? arent we trusting china, albeit maybe foolishly if past be prologue with them trying to kill our pets, children and us? do we really know what these things will do to us in 5, 10, 20 years?

applejackson makes the logical argument against anyway, though just calling absinthe a licorice flavor doesnt do the drink justice. the sugar, i didnt think about. good call!

Man, this is yet another reason to dislike the french. Sorry french people. History lesson time:

Long ago, Absinthe became a very popular drink. Here's how.

It was considered a medicine, and the french military gave it to some troops in africa. The troops came back and missed it, so they started buying it, more people tried it. The combination of a really bad year for grapes and a horrible year for french wine, along with these french soldiers raving about it, made Absinthe the most popular alcoholic drink in the world for a short time.

Once the grapes harvest rocked, and the wine industry recovered, they started an aggressive smear campaign against absinthe claiming there were all kinds of things wrong with it so they could recover their wine market/customer. They were all lies, but lies that were so powerful that clueless people repeat them to this day. KINDA LIKE WHAT THE FDA AND BIG TOBACCO IS TRYING TO DO TO ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES.

It's just another alcoholic beverage. Nothing more nothing less. It isn't any more dangerous than any other alcoholic beverage. It's only dangerous when it's made poorly, just like any other alcoholic beverage will kill you if it's made poorly. The truth of the matter is, there are plenty of people making good Absinthe. My personal favorite being Combier. You can get bottles of it for 50 bucks in the states now because it is LEGAL IN THE USA again.

There's no arsenic. There's no thujone. It's just another liquor.

Hope This Helps
