Adding ethanol for throat hit

[LoveVanilla]

Found medical reference awhile back stating that ethyl alcohol is harmful to lung tissue -- so I avoid. And that's my recommendation. PG does not agree with me, so I use 20% distilled water plus VG and flavoring, and have no issues. In my testing, over 20% DW and you'll start to notice vapor issues.

Me and vodka hung out for a while. I got sick of all my mixes tasting like vodka though. I mean, it was like Peaches and cream plus vodka, bakery items plus vodka.

You can use it just fine, I too was in the low PG boat.

Now I just use PEG100 and well, it's a flavor carrier too. Mixes better and no vodka taste. LOL.

Yeah I guess start low and experiment.

First of all thank you all for your answers, you all helped me a lot and enlightened me about this situation.

And thanks for the help also, if you think ethyl is bad for lungs, i should go for distilled water for sure, so how much DW i should add for my 60mL Then? I just want a good throat hit.

50/50 juice is already quite thin... adding alcohol is going to make it extremely thin. What device are you using (pod, tank, ect)?
I guess I'm odd... never had any desire for throat hit.

I use GeekVape Aegis Boost Plus, yeah its thin as you say, but is it worse to make it thinner? (Sorry kinda newbie in this business)

y'aint gonna get a good throat hit with water, sorry. It's just not gonna happen.

IDK if Ethanol is bad for the lungs. I pretty much used ETOH for years as my primary beverage. I'm still here.

I do have a Russian alcoholic liver though. I guess it depends on your lungs and their fortitude but like... Please DON'T ask your medical provider THIS question. This may be the first time I have said this, but honestly they aren't going to know AND if they dislike vaping they will dislike it more.

I was just about to ask, but you prevented it, thanks.

But yeah i made a research and any of those waters don't strengthen the throat hit, i saw Flash by Flavour Art, they say it does.

I'm having flavor issues with 10% distilled water with short fills, I can definitely feel the difference. Similar to what I've experience when adding nic shots compared to high nic solution I use these days (72mg). The highest distilled water % I go up to these days is 7, usually I mix 5-6%
