I want caffeine in my vapor too

[Maast]

I'm a caffeine fiend, 4-6 cups of strong black coffee a day.

I switched over to coffee from 6+ cans of diet coke a day because I read a Scientific American article that proved that artificial sweeteners screw up your metabolism (and I promptly lost 15 pounds within two months, another 20 to go).

In addition to my nicotine fix I'd love to get a caffeine fix while I'm vaping, has anybody ever tried that? Failing that, how would I go about finding pure liquid caffeine so I could DIY?

Now wouldn't the "powers that want to kill the e-cig" just love this idea.

Great idea, but I have to agree with jj2. The FDA would love to hear about that... I too would love a caffeine fix

I just wish the FDA would stay the bleep away from e-Cig industry.

Why? I dont understand your reservations, caffeine is in all kinds of things, coffee has a nominal .5mg/ml or 100mg in a 8 oz (230ml) cup of coffee.

 

[BassAddict]

Well.. If you start including other ingredients that will give them more power to say that "this is officially a drug delivering device".

I once had this idea too, but from everything I've read, it's probably a really, really terrible idea. Caffeine has the tendency to solidify at a much higher temperature than nicotine, meaning it could crystalize or congeal in your lungs, and there's no evidence that caffeine will even vaporize at the temperatures most e-cigs run at, plus there's no evidence that caffeine will even absorb properly and safely through your lungs. Some even suggest that if you could get caffeine to vaporize, it could become extremely volatile and even flammable. This is just stuff I've picked up around the net, maybe somebody who is a chemist or molecular biologist could give more accurate or in-depth info. But after just a little searching, I wouldn't try it. Better to just drink the stuff and chase it with some tasty nic vapor.

You can get nicotine from tomatoes and other foods but doesn't stop the powers to be from wanting to treat it like a drug and ban the e-cig.

Ya know, there are OTC caffeine tablets you can buy. They are fairly inexpensive too. If you don't like coffee, why not give them a try?

 

[Maast]

Oh well, if it can't be physically done then its a non-starter. I'd sure like to get a caffeine hit when stopping to have a cup of coffee isnt feasible, like when I'm on deck fishing, or too busy doing something else.

I've learned to like coffee well enough, even enjoy it. Caffeine tablets just wouldnt do it for me, like the nicotine gum didnt do it for me - like it'd be missing the whole point.

BTW NCC, love the sleestak avatar.

Where there's a will, there's a way, and TW just keeps makin themselves look bad every chance they get.

Scroll down to Green Cow - " An energy drink - in avape. With added caffeine and guarana extract. Because hey, sometimes just nicotine isn't enough. "

one of my main flavors in e-liquid is coffee; it psychologically feels like i'm having a cup of coffee and a cigarette. Personally, I love drinking my four cups of strong black coffee (the Gee houshold features Cafe Bustello). First suggestion, e-cig technology - China has no problem getting ......, weight loss drugs, and vitamins into vaporizable format and then selling them; they have a world market and could care less about the FDA. Second suggestion, my wife uses the "real" vaporizer (it directly heats botanicals and collects the resultant vapor) and maybe we could see what happens if we put coffee in the thing. But if it just has a problem with the lung-blood barrier, we are SOL.

Its not just green cow, they've got 4 other flavors with caffeine in them??! I wonder how much.

I've used some of the TW liquids and I would say not enough to have any noticeable effect. Haven't used the concentrates but the pre-mixed which contains 2.5% caffeine (I guess about 25mg per mil?). Caffeine is far less potent than nicotine. I don't see the big issue though, it's just caffeine. Its not the same as those idiots who were selling e-liquid containing prescription medications like .........
