"homepathic tinctures in the past that were steeped in vodka, we're talking half a dropper full. " "I won't drink but was seeing if there was a loophole".
I call BS!

You lost me. To what BS are you referring?
Homepathic tinctures are medicine. Basically you have to steep the herbs to extract the vital nutrients for a concentrated effect. Although vegetable glycerin can be used, it's not nearly as effective as 100 proof vodka mix. It's impossible to get drunk or even get an effect. We're talking half of dropper full of tincture which equates to a few drops. LITERALLY, a few drops. Get real, that's not drinking by any stretch of definition.
The loophole I spoke of which, was taken out of context by your mix above, was in regards to the vaping and alcohol flavored eliquids.
Best regards to you.
Negative,
OP does have a valid question, are there alcohols in some pluids.
Some vapers have a low tolerance to the pluids that use alcohol as a thinner.
Hence the question from the OP.........
Although I make no claims to be an expert in physiology (I'm a doctor, but not a medical doctor), I initially assumed after reading the OP's post that it wasn't possible. I assumed that alcohol was absorbed into the bloodstream differently when one drinks it. It appears I was wrong:

As someone in recovery myself, and even though it's apparently beside the point to the OP, I wouldn't take any chances. That said, I think there's a bit of a contradiction in the fact that I'm trying to stay off analogs while, at the same time, vaping tabacco flavored liquids. . .
Just my two cents. . .

I think its fair to say you like what you like. If someone enjoys the flavor of tobacco then its all good. Same with the alcohol flavoring. For some people it maybe a bit of a red flag but for others its not. I personally wouldn't do it myself being a mere year and some months sober. But then again I have had my fill and desire no more of it. If he desires the flavor then he sating that desire with ejuice I see it as no different than what many whom are addicted to nicotine is doing here. Vaping does seem to be one of the safest alternatives to smoking in order to fulfill the nicotine fiend.
As long as he is not drinking then all is good. As long as we are not smoking then its all good. Ultimately what lies in the future is up to himself.
I actually agree with what you are saying. I was really making the comment in reference to all of the comments suggesting that it wasn't a risk worth taking. I wonder how many of those same people would advise people in such strong terms not to vape tobacco flavors?
And, with that said, I'm going back to my Tribeca now. . .
Well said!
After all, what are most of us doing here in a vape community. NOT SMOKING TOBACCO!!! That said, the whole vape situation is a loophole to smoking. Smoking and yet - NOT! So inhaling an alcohol taste is about as much drinking as stuffed animal is to a pet. There's no comparison.
I can appreciate and respect the philosophy, if you want to stay sober you have to do what you have to do. Alcohol for me is not like spraying holy water on Satan. Although I don't consume it in beverage it's not completely void in my life. To clarify: I sometimes use listerine, I sometimes use it as a cooking ingredient (grilling ribs or carne asada with beer is the best!), I sometimes take medications that will contain alcohol in them, I will on occasion go out with colleagues to the bar (not to drink but merely to be not anti-social; I'm invited and everybody knows I don't drink, it's all good). Some people can't do any of the above and stay sober - I RESPECT THAT. To each their own. But regardless of one's views, it should be a person's own choice. The constant nudging about relapse and all that was really over the top here.

Its a good flavor!
Yup.
Humanity is all shades of the gradient. What works for some doesn't for others. Its up to the individual to find out what works for them.

Lesson learning is what's going on. At least I know I learned mine. Never, ever, under any circumstances, no matter what, will I ever be the op of thread even mentioning sobriety.
EVER!!!
WOW ... I don't understand what this is all about. Why all the judgements? The OP was simply asking a legitimate question, isn't that what these forums are for?
[Rant] The OP stated repeatedly that he was looking for an answer to his question, and pointed out that he does use alchohol based products, AND that he personally was looking for alcohol flavors because he enjoyed them. Many of us vape tobacco flavors because they remind us of what smoking tobacco was like AND we ENJOYED the flavor, that does not mean we are going to run right out and buy a pack of analogs or a pouch of pipe tobacco! What is wrong with someone wanting the flavor of a good Bourbon or Whiskey to vape, and more importantly, why is that anyone else's concern? [/Rant]

clearly a lot of people here who think they understand alcoholism but clearly do not. Im not surprised and its no ones fault. i honestly dont care if he/she were to relapse or not. my point was that an alcoholic vaping an alcohol flavored juice COULD be a red flag. My previous comments were slightly exaggerated for comedic purposes, perhaps unsuccessfully. Ill blame that on poor translation through text because in my bubble, I was giggling.
Should an alcoholic hide in their room avoiding alcohol at all costs? Absolutely not. people get sober to have a life not to be a miserable hermit. Should they be ingesting something reminiscent of the old days? Probably not. Why do it and take the risk even if it is small?
For the record, I speak from experience. Im a chronic relapser who currently has been sober for almost 9 years.
There isnt one specific way to stay sober. Anything I have said here is based on y experiences and what I was taught. A relapse from vaping isnt guaranteed, its just something I would be concerned about if I were to start doing it.
