Does anyone know if there is any e-liquid that would make a drug test positive

[Victoria Tracy]

Hi everyone, if there is anyone that can help me I’d greatly appreciate it.
I do not use drugs at all and recently had to take a drug test I did not get the job due to a positive reading of Amphetamines

Does anyone know if there are any liquids that would make this happen?
Thank you

It might be more helpful to list what juices you vape that you feel may be responsible for giving you a positive drug test for amphetamines. AFAIK this would be a first as I've never seen the issue raised before.

Are you sure you weren't taking something like Sudafed at the time? Seems more likely than your vape.

I'd suggest you take the test again. The stuff of the hospital might have changed the files by mistake. Has happened to a person I know, who thought he couldn't have children for over 5 years. Crazy.

I agree with @Eskie. Sudafed has ephedrine, a drug similar in structure to amphetamines. M e t h labs have been known to use it.

I'm not aware of any e-liquid ingredients that could cause a positive test for amphetamines.

Here is a list (and I am betting there are more) of things that can cause a false positive test on amphetamines.

What are other false/positives for methamphetamine?

I am sure there are more, and as Eskie said there is I guess the REMOTEST possibility of contamination although I can't see how on earth it could happen.

If you've ruled out all the "known" suspects and are left with your eliquids I guess you could pay to get them tested for amphetamine like drugs by a lab. It may be expensive to do so, I think it is SO unlikely, but who knows. If in fact you find one of your manufacturer's juices is in fact contaminated, well, you'd have a legitimate case for the cost of the testing being paid for, time off work, other whatever relevant harm but I really have to think it's unlikely to almost impossible but I guess you should explore all options if a known offender is NOT the case for you.

If a urine test, it would have to be fairly (somewhat) recent, and if a hair test, a hair test can show possible use for several years, depending on the length of your hair.

Good luck!

Hi and Welcome,
Sorry to hear about your false-positive results.
Please consult your doctor before taking any pre-employement tests to learn about potential issues and problems.

Best of luck

Wow. Poor you.

I can't honestly see anything in E-Liquid doing this.

Have you used any over-the-counter medications recently? I'd feel it's more likely something else has caused this. Then again, none of us can be 100% sure what is in every juice ever sold. Seems a long shot though.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Might try to get the doctor/lab report from the positive drug test and show it to your doctor. Have him retest and write reply. Keep copies for future tests, in case of another incident.

Some weight loss products can cause amphetamine false positive results as well. The research is out there, might google the subject and do some reading.

Hi Victoria. Welcome to the ECF.

I have never heard of an e-Liquid causing a False-Positive result as you mentioned. But that is Not to say that it Isn't Possible.

I do Know that if a Person takes 3 or 4 Hits off an e-Cigarette and then Blows into a Breathalyzer, that it Might/Can cause a False-Positive for Alcohol on some units.

 

[sonicbomb]

I'm not a chemist, but a test for amphetamines should not be triggered by anything in eliquid.

 

[stols001]

Not unless it was contaminated and while I have heard urban legends about coffee shops using runoff water from certain illegal lab making places next door, "They can't get enough of our coffee!" Kinda thing, I'm sincerely doubtful on both matters.

Contamination is the only way but then the question becomes WHY because lets face it no one puts that kind of valuable product in eliquid for free, on purpose.

It would have to be a bad DIY friend and a Machiavellian plot.

I have to ask, how much energy you've had before the test and how many days have you not slept? Those could narrow down the time frame of the suspected product, lol.

It never caused a positive urinalysis result but when TSA swabbed my 2 mods/tanks last week it set off the alarm, they didn’t tell me whether it was drugs or explosives. First I’ve it’s ever happened and I fly on average twice a week.

Nitroglycerine - Vegetable Glycerine hmmmmm I can see that causing an issue maybe.
