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.
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.
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
