Alcohol in eliquid safe?

[Cam93]

I've found one of my favorite eliquids so far. ( I havnt tried many btw) it's dreamcicle by fusion vapes. However, it does contain alcohol. I did a little research and to my understanding they add alcohol to increase throat hit. Is this safe? Thoughts??

It all depends on what alcohol you're talking about, not all alcohol is safe for consumption. Personally, I hate alcohol in ejuice, but small amounts of PGA or ethyl alcohol are of no health concern as far as I know.

A little bit is ok. But the more alcohol, the less vapor production. As long as it's not Isopropyl, you're ok, and I doubt they put that in there.

Generally, when an eliquid contains alcohol it is ethyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is used as a base for many of the flavor concentrates.

I am unsure of any testing about it being safe or not but I avoid it as a DIY'er of eliquid just in case.
