Has been discussed already, but it caffeine isn't very soluble in PG/VG, not like it is in water. The members who've tried reported that there wasn't enough dissolved caffeine to give one a "high", plus the addition of another factor which could clog atomizers. For now, just drink a soda/energy drink/coffee/tea. Its more effective.

Back in high school, a dude we knew caught his face on fire putting ever clear in a ..... Stuff is flammable. Messed him up pretty good. Be careful with that.

lol well I don't know how in the world a piece of coal would get into the hookahs vase. Plus you suck through a hose that is a good 3 foot long so it is away from you and sealed tightly. You would have to be very very unlucky to have this happen to you with a hookah.

I use to pour my hookah base half full with rum. Lets just say it works:evil:

Now you guys got be wondering if it would with vapor? Hmmm...


I put 190 Proof in my atomizer last night. IDK I don't think I cared for it much....Maybe whiskey/rum would work better by adding some flavor behind it.

It's not even certain that vaping caffeine would be safe. One would have to know the interactions between the different ingredients, as well as what happens to them when heated up and vaporized.

Until we know that vaping caffeine is safe, I highly discourage anyone from even trying it. Don't risk your life unnecessarily!

Good point on the safety tips!

My thought is that you would need to have freebase caffeine, and that the other posters who tried it where using caffeine as a salt (water soluble form). I'm not a chemist, but I would think freebase caffeine would be soluble in PG/VG.

You need to find a chemist to answer the question, does it vape, or suffer pyrolisis (break down from the heat).

I'd try this if I was able to confirm it would be safe. Since I used to enjoy a cup of coffee and a smoke, why not combine the two in a puff of vapour?
 
Further to this I did ask a chemist, who says it will work, but is worried about the very fast absorbtion.

I get the point, because cravings go away after a few puffs (20 secs or so). Where as it takes me a few mins to drink my coffee, and more mins for it to work it's way into my system.

So if you where to deliver the same amount of caffeine, but in 20 secs.... I'm thinking thats going to be a bit intense:shock:

Think I'll pass on trying this afterall.

as long as your normal caffeine intake was less than .7ml a day before you got a shot. This is ridiculous at best...ever hear of drinking caffeinated drinks, are you guys going to vape the ...... juice too. Is it really that hard to drink caffeine and take pills. You gotta have liquid in your diet anyway. How many of you want an IV in your arm and a catheter so you never have to stand up again?

Yeah seriously! I'll stick to vaping for nicotine only.
