OMG........Vaping Gelatin!

[LisaLisa]

Hubby is allergic to both types of glycerine, it gives him a terrible sore throat respiratory problems, but he is desperate to vape something so he can get off analogs.

I've been thinking for a week about what other types of liquids he could vape, and this morning I thought of knox gelatin.

Not sure how it would vape, I stirred a little dry gelatin powder into some water, and put it in the vaporizer to see if it would produce smoke and how it would react.

It worked! No taste and produced the same amount of vapor that the glycerine produces. Now I'm going to get some food flavorings and mix him up some stuff so he can vape.

Anyone else know of any other glycerine alternatives that can be vaped?

Someone here once suggested to make the eliquid into a gel form. Then you could sort of make a gelatin plug to put in a cart, and as it melted it would release the nic. Not sure what became of the idea, but I think generally no one wanted to inhale gelatin.


Edited to add: It is animal protein, just so you know. I don't think I'd want it clogging up my lungs.

Gelatin a colorless water-soluble glutinous protein obtained from animal tissues such as bone and skin. I don't see anything wrong with vaping it..........but then again I'm not a doctor. But our bodies aren't exactly made to be inhaling glycerin either.....lol.

Lisa, have you tried him with PEG liquid?

Might be worth a punt...anything has to be better than anal-logs.

What is PEG liquid?

[Deschain]

Lisa, it's "Polyethylene Glycol" it seems to be cropping up on several e-juice sites I look at...touted as an alternative to the PG that most of us use.

I'll check that out, thanks deschain!

[LisaLisa]

Can you tell me which site sells that PEG liquid?

[Deschain]

Lisa, I only know of a UK based site...

PEG Liquid

Hopefully, one of your fellow countrymen can point you to a US based site that sells this stuff.

The glycerine and propylene glycol are changed by the heat of the atomizer and metabolized after inhalation. They are tiny molecules. Proteins are GIGANTIC strings of amino acids, probably thousands or millions of atoms apiece, and they are not going to be metabolized unless they are digested first.
