Default Absinthe eJuice



I recently acquired a taste for the forbidden liqueur, ABSINTHE.
I was going to dilute it down in the traditional fashion with
Ice water (distilled), adding VG until I obtain an e-Juice consistency.



Will the vapor turn Green?

O.o ...let me know if that works. I also love absinthe and would definitely give that a try. I thought I was gonna go broke ordering from Alandia. That conversion to Euros will kill ya.

Wormwood might not be the best Idea to Inhale.
Burnt things dont always taste or smell the same either.

Ahhh but we don't BURN, we heat to the point of vapor. I think this will work...

Here is a YouTube video on the History of Absinthe to those curious.

If the Absinthe is purchased in the US I dont think it has wormwood in it.

Nice vid, must be old though. The US actually relaxed the thujon ban somewhat and as long as it's not one of the French or German bitters, you can get it at some liquor stores here now. Kubler is a decent one. Anyway, I don't want to upset one of the royals who stumbles across this by talking too much about something that's not e-cig related. Good luck with the juice, and do let me know if it's any good.

Here is the info off the bottle:
------

Introducing lucid, Absinthe Supérieure. lucid represents a breakthrough product for the U.S. market, as it is the first true, Grande Wormwood-based Absinthe of its type since before prohibition. Unlike imitators in the U.S. and many of the so-called "Absinthe" products that litter the international markets, lucid is crafted directly from select whole herbs, including Grande Wormwood, and never from cheaper assemblages, macerations, extracts or oils.
------


Allright, I have some food grade 100% Vegitable Glycerine, and my Bottle of Absithe prepped on my kitchen table. Tonight I commence the first documented ritual of Absinthe eJuice preparation.
PRAY FOR ME

I specifically wanted grand wormwood in this batch so I will be using the LUCID brand. My understanding of thujon content would occur only in modern Absinthe if it was poorly made. It's quite safe and a very tasty/sweet liqure for those that like Annise/liqurish.

EDIT:
I also think it's quite fitting that an increasingly forbidden pass time such as smoking will be combined with a forbidden drink. I'm not expecting great tasting eSmoke, but a smokey savor that compliments my Absinthe.

Default Absinthe eJuice = EUREKA!

1st batch, was approximately a 50/50 mix of Absinthe and Veritable Glycerin (VG). I went and omitted the water and sugarcube believing that the VG had enough sweetness as did the liqueur I was using.

The vapor was unbelievably smooth and equally thick! I'm unfamiliar with the taste of Wormwood but this vapor is defiantly not a liquorish flavor. I was expecting a much harsher experience than what I got. Subtle tones of Anise, Fennil, and an unmistakable Greeness danced around my taste buds and nose. The taste was very clean, very mild, although throat hit was almost existent (0 Nicotine).
I believe a reduction of some sort is necessary for those seeking a stronger taste, but to those wanting to add a little something to an existing eJuice (one thats to strong , or to harsh), a 50/50 mix of Absithe/VG might just be the ticket.

0.10 Throat Hit
0.75 Flavorful
1.00 Tastes Like the Name

Somoney, you are a genius.

I had a bottle of absinth at home for some 7-9 years, brought as a curiosity from a visit to Lithuania, where the drink was legal at that time. My wife must not drink and I do not. Visitors never wished to try. Now, due to you, I found the perfect use for the stuff. I dilute my juice a lot, which destroys flavour a lot. But your absinth idea gives the flavour right back, and what a fantastic flavour it is! Yummy yummy yummy I will probably ovedose now because I have no glycerin left and mix it with nicotine juice...

555 + absinth = genial spice-flavoured cig aroma
Chocolate + absinth = absolutely beatiful liqueur taste

and I have some 0.7 litre of the stuff D:
(I only regret I did not order the 36 mg stuff, so that more absinth/VG mix could be added for the same 8mg nic content...)

I'll definately have to try this.. I'm outta my Lucid due to a grand get-together on Halloween but I've got a bottle of Le Tourment Vert in my cupboard. The stuff was horrid compared to the Lucid brand but perhaps it can be redeemed through a good vape
