I mixed up a batch of caffeinated e-juice today. It's a notable effect that the caffeine adds to the vaping. I mixed up a 30ml bottle with 3g of pure caffeine (100mg/mL). It doesn't dissolve completely, so it's necessary to shake the bottle. It makes the juice cloudy, as well.

So, a cup of coffee normally contains 100mg of caffeine. The fatal human dose is near 10g. I vape around 3-5ml/day. At 100mg/ml, I figure I'm adding 3-5 cups of coffee to my day without having to pee near as much lol. I usually drink coffee from sun-up to sun-down in colder months, but cut back after lunch when the temperature rises in the summer.



I use a pocket-size digital jewelry scale to measure the powder.

The caffeine works for me and I figured I'd pass this along to anyone else who might like to have a little extra boost through their day via vaping! It works. Now, I gotta go... I been sitting too long typing this =D

As I said in my OP: "The fatal human dose is near 10g."

I would have to snort more than 1/5 of the 2oz (57g) bottle I received to die.

Particle inhalation and dosage are two separate concerns. While we can debate the topic with open minds - unless I am overuled by a higher authority, we'll avoid linking the source for the caffeine powder. Carry on :)

Some juice vendors are offering caffeinated e-juice, and I was just noting that it can be DIYed. Debating the safety of the chemical is like debating 100mg nic base.

Yes, it is potentially dangerous. If precautions and care are excercised, one incurs no ill-effects.

While I respect the decision to remove the link, I added it as the lowest cost vendor for the chemical that I could find. They're sold out right now, though, so nobody could get it there anyway. None the less, Google can get anyone to powdered, pure caffeine. Regardless of the disclaimers of the chemical in the link I provided, it is caffeine. It is potentially dangerous in powdered form. A vendor has the right to cover their .... when selling a potentially hazardous substance.

the inhalable caffeine is available in liquid form.
Flavor West
There are warnings right on the website regarding inhalation of the powder, etc.

The correct form to use in your DIY is e-caffiene from Flavor West a Vapor Renew Company, that has been using e-caffeine in their juices since February. I've got a 118ml bottle, I think it was $20, but it gives you the DIY instructions for using the product right there beside the product.

    If I may put a review in here as a 1 time buyer? Yes, you can get lots of caffiene, and also vitamins. If you're an unflavored guy like me you have to go to the drop down menu til u get to "Tasteless". I got the Renu blend w/ vitamin B-12, caffiene, 16mg, med throat hit.

    It tastes fine, and the price is great! I've had to thin mine out some and the throat hit was very weak, altho that maybe because I chose 16mg., and I'm using 24mg. now.

    Bob, I think you are misunderstanding. What you are talking about is a pre-made E-Liquid at Vapor Renew. It looks like this.

    However, this is a DIY group & what I'm talking about is this.

    You can buy flavored juice at Vapor Renew with Caffeine, renew blend and also have jason add herbs or vitamins to it. This is nothing new. However, for DIY, you can purchase E-caffeine at Flavor West which is a flavoring company that is owned by Vapor Renew. I hope this makes since.
