Dangerous Newbie!!

[Paradolia]

Now I'm laughing! because you looked at the post because it said dangerous...

Here's the question though... when mixing DIY juice, are the chemicals PG and VG the only two one could use, or would a mixture of, say, watered down light corn syrup serve well as a base...

Could be dangerous if tried, being that I'm certain the sugar would cake up on the coils, however, has anyone got suggestions? Other than DON'T Do that.. because I hate being told that something isn't possible. I'me one of those annoying people who will try almost anything to prove someone wrong...

Don't think Ill of me, I'm just eager to experiment

I say do it and report back.

 

[Paradolia]

I think I like your attitude! I may just do that. The only problem that I can foresee, would be the caking of the sugar causing too much resistance...

Corn syrup? Put some in a pan and give it some heat and see what it does. I wouldn't vape it but hey dangers your name dangers your game!

You gotta watch this guy, he was vaping stuff when there wasn't anything to vape !

 

[dannyv45]

As you requested I'm not going to tell you not to do that so be dangerious and try it. Let us know how it works out for ya.

But joking aside, Corn syrup no not good. Your right it will carmalize and cake your coils and depending on what other preservitives and additives are in it can also poison you. If you want to make the base sweeter use sweetener or more VG.

The common bases are PG/VG and you can add water/saline/PGA to thin it.

why corn syrup when you can go straight to the source and vape an ear of corn .....oh what fun

Pretty much.



May I ask why you want to do this goofy thing?

If you want to live really dangerously, you could try inhaling fumes from burning tobacco, although I would not recommend it.

Then snort baking soda and drink some rubbing alcohol. It'll be a real party then.

Couldn't we vape the rubbing alcohol ? with maybe a tini bit of corn syrup

Maybe this thread should be titled "Don't Try This at Home" or "What Not To Do"

 

[1vapeatatime]

I say DON'T do it!!!
Not preachin', really don't know what would happen.......but if you succeed, then the FDA would try to regulate corn syrup as well. But seriously though e-cigs in general are under enough scrutiny already. I just think that adding more variables to the mix would make things harder for our legal supporters.
Also, with something like corn syrup, or oil you could be causing damage to yourself and not know it for a while.
But if you must, then you must!!! Good Luck, and do report back

i thought we were supposed to cutting back on high-fructose corn syrup. so if you do try it be sure to find a low fructose version, look for the V2 after the name. we are after all trying to help everyone here a little heathier

Ok, so the people here have (dry) senses of humor. To answer some questions, im looking to start mixing, and merely acquiring research on alternatives, or potential alternatives to a juice that is composed of PG, VG, or some combination of the two.

The ear of corn is a good idea, as you can just wrap a big coil around it!

Well some people use VG and distilled water. I've never done this so I will leave recommendations for ratios to somebody that has. May I ask why you don't want to just use pg/vg??

ETA: I guess you already answered that question, so disregard. I would personally recommend just starting with pg/vg.

So, you're looking for a different compound that is an alcohol, like PG and VG, and has the same range of boiling point as PG VG, but is not PG or VG? Also it has a similar density somewhere between PG and VG while being commonly available in pharmaceutical grade? PEG400 comes close.

After that, I have no idea of any other alcohols that meet the requirements to work in vaping hardware. (That might be because the hardware everything is currently based on was designed to work with PG?)

 

[Paradolia]

Yes, just looking for alternatives. I like to have a variety of options.

corn syrup?? I think it would gunk up your coil in seconds and have a very heavy caramel taste
