While searching youtube for some different mods I stumbled upon a video about different additives they are putting in a new e-liquid. One was for energy with Taurine, Caffeine, Glucuronolactone, etc. Another was suppose to relax you containing melatonin, tryptaphan, and gaba. I've seen ones containing vitamins like C and coq10. The vaping community has been in scrutiny over the E-cigs and fighting things out with the FDA to keep us vaping. I don't see how this will help the cause. I'm not saying that I wouldn't try it, buying it might be different. No matter what we do, someone is always going to push the envelope and have an idea and market it. I'm at a loss for words now. Please post comments and/or experience you have had with any E-juice containing more than PG/VG nic flavorings etc (stuff in 99-100% of all e juice on the market today)

I'm not real sure what that is but get the feeling that it could lead to some serious e-cig goverment regulations if it catches on with increased exposure....that's what I think....worrisome.....kill e-cigs I don't know but the thought crosses my mind. We've got enough issues with acceptance as it is now without these types of product.

If it actually worked, i'd have to say i'd buy it. LOL But not the one to make you sleepy. I'd want the one with caffeine. I was just telling my husband last night I wish my coffee flavored ejuice actually had caffeine it it. I didn't know thaey really make one that did. Too funny. GREAT marketing idea though. I dink like 10 cups of coffee a day on top of my vaping if I could cut even a few of those cuos out I would. With 3 kids 3 and under i need the energy. Not sure about the one that makes you sleepy or "relaxed though.

I don't want anything extra in my juice and that's part of the reason I DIY. I have a relatively good idea about what is in the juice I vape but I guess it's all up to the individual.
@ Karla Lyle. Caffeine LOL. I drank 10 + large cups of java daily until I found out 4 cups cause dehydration. Seeing as vaping by itself causes dehydration I realized I had to cut back drastically on my java. I now drink 2 regular and 2 decaf per day.

that'd be pretty good if it was effective to put in nutrients that worked well with pv's... I'd definitely buy it... not sure how effective or safe it'd be for your health and for the pv's though... I've thought about it but until there is good backing by research I'm holding off... I can tell you though I've been asked by quite a few people if you could put ... (or whatever it is in mary jane) into pv's. :p I wonder if there is a post somewhere about this with more info and links on where to buy and studies done.

Just remember a few things:
  • the math has been run before and in order for a caffeine juice to do much for you you'd have to vape a sludgy slurry of a caffeinated juice.
  • vaping pharmaceuticals is a bad idea- they were not designed to be heated and inhaled
  • Vaping vitamins and other supplements have not been proven to be effective, there are lots of threads buried here about the reasons why, just ask a chemistry major.

ECF does not recommend or promote the use of eliquids containing added drugs or other materials unconnected with vaping, and that have no known research showing they are either designed to be inhaled or reasonably safe for that purpose.
