Eucalyptus Essential Oil?

[baalel]

Any thoughts on using Eucalyptus oil as a flavouring? I've seen it advertised for aromatherapy steam inhalation uses, but it also usually comes with a not for internal use warning.

the worrisome word is "oil" there are oils that will trash your atomizers. be careful.

I would stay clear of it if I were you. It will Invalidate your warranty, oils burn at a higher temperature than PG so your atomiser will probably get coated in gunk. Ontop of that you dont have any idea what your smoking.

I wouldn't recommend using Eucalyptus oil. It's really not safe for ingestion, so I wouldn't trust it for concentrated inhalation either*. Maybe something like this would be better: https://www.lorannoils.com/p-8489-menthol-eucalyptus-flavor.aspx

I know that Kate uses some of the LorAnn flavours, as discussed in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/2498-lorann-candy-flavours.html

I don't know if their Eucalyptus would be suitable or not.

* Aromatherapeutic steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil normally involves a couple of drops in some freshly boiled water in a bowl, head over the bowl and towel over the head. It's quite unpleasant, but works well to clear a blocked nose. However, you would only be inhaling a tiny amount of the oil itself, and I imagine that hardly any of it would reach the lungs.

for the best way to get Eucalyptus oil you need
1 koala
1 cup
and a first aid kit

Isn't there some forum rule about Suppliers pan-handling in the regular forums?

Anyhow, I think the main theme here (regardless of the advertising of essentialol22) is that ANY OIL IS BAD for your atomizer. Atomizer lifespans are short enough, I know I won't be doing anything to assist in the decline of any of mine.

I have to repeat, yet again....there are at least three or four Threads covering this subject, if eucalyptus is tempting, why not just go with Menthol crystals.
