Caffeine extract?

Buzzaire looks great. I might have to get one of those.

Note that the FDA cracked down about three days ago on alcohol makers who were putting caffeine in bottled drinks, said to "alert" drinkers. Authorities said the false sense of alertness might encourage a drunk to get behind the wheel of a car. So the caffeine has to come out.

To date, as far as I can tell, no one is challenging the FDA on this, and producers are agreeing to removing all caffeine from alcoholic beverages. It was the vodka-Red Bull trend of a few years ago that triggered the new drinks.

"lab grade caffeine" is that what they are calling that white powder these days? Officer I swear, it's only caffeine! Just kidding

I have enough of this stuff to keep me awake for a few decades.

Does this effect mixed drinks served at bars?

I hope not, or there is going to be some very angy irish coffee drinkers over at the Buena Vista Cafe.

No more buzz beer...

Vaping caffeine just sounds like a bad idea. If somehow you did manage to effectively get large enough amounts of it into your system, you risk overdosing the same. Nicotine is a little less dangerous, to me, in that most of us are already so addicted it'd be difficult to overdose unless we're using something rated massively too high for us (like I could never handle 36-48mg liquid, 16mg gives me a nice buzz, and when I have too much, I still feel jittery/headachey like I used to when I had too many cigarettes).

Even most all-day coffee drinkers don't get nearly that kind of buzz from their caffeine, unless they're supplementing. And we've all heard the horror stories of the energy drink overindulgers...

Nope, I'll stick with my snooty coffee drinks and dr pepper.

it was a guess that caffeine introduced in to the blood via the respritory system would take effect much faster than the conventional way of getting caffeine in to your system. I was also guessing that it would take far smaller amounts. I have had a caffeine addiction for years. I'm guessing it's nearly as bad as my nicotine addiction. :P But apprently it can't be vaped... why is that btw? i'm curious now

[redrhino]

That is pharmaceutical caffeine.... Right? OR just a pure form caffeine?

The temperature at which it vaporizes is a little too high (first hand testing). Assuming it would even vaporize with an e-cig, the amount that will dissolve into the liquid without saturating it would only provide an extremely small dose of caffeine per puff.

I'll make a video of ceffeine melting and then being vaporized.
