E juice with....alcohol???

[Markill]

Browsing the internet for various vaping topics, I came upon this one article once that mentioned thinning out your e juices with vodka or grain alcohol (I don't remember the website). Now to me, this seems like a really, really bad idea. I'm just curious though, is it actually something you can do without too many adverse effects? Obviously it'd be very easy to overdose on it, and having alcohol in your lungs doesn't seem to be healthy. I'm just curious. Anybody have any information on this?

Distilled water is the choice for thinning liquids. And a very little goes a long way.

One note about alcohol. Some flavor extractions use alcohol during the extraction process. This results in some e-liquids having small amounts of alcohol in them. It evaporates quickly.

PGA - pure grain alchohol, is very popular on the DIY side for thinning VG. It's used in very small amounts and not something that's gonna get you buzzed, lol.

Generations of wine tasters have taught us that inhaling alcohol on a regular basis is probably the least of our worries.

I take it you've never seen these scary things:

i have seen pure grain alcohol listed as an ingredient on a juice label. i think it must be a very small amount.

I have made my menthol with crystals and Everclear and have used it over a year. I also have added Vanilla and Peach flavored Vodka to my juices and have been very pleased. I have not noticed any adverse effects. You are only talking about using 1-5% in a recipe. Great question and I look forward to reading the answers. Learning is one of the great things about ecf.

I'd rather vape alcohol than most of flavorings used in most of juices.
And I have used alcohol for thinning, up to 7%. No alcohol taste at all.

At 5% PGA you would have to vape 20ml just to get 1ml of PGA, there is over 44ml in one shot of alcohol. That's over 880ml of 5% e-juice to inhale one shot of PGA.
