People have been known to add pure grain alcohol to mixes to enhance throat hit, so I don't see why not. Just use it sparingly. You can evaporate the alcohol by leaving mixed juice uncapped overnight, which would leave the flavor intact.

Since some recipes use small amounts of water (general rule 10% or less...often less, although as with all vaping someone will pipe in with an exception) and other recipes use small amounts of PGA (pure grain alcohol...which has some water in it) then yes, a small amount.

That's not to say it will vaporize well or taste that great. Then again, maybe it will. Also, you don't want to over-inhale alcohol, IMO, although it's been done. It's for drinking, really.

Just tread cautiously. Also ask in the DIY subforum.

Liquor in small amounts mixes well with e-juices, just like water. It thins the juice. Some flavorings are alcohol based. At the amounts used in e-juice it's only worth adding liquor for thinning or for the flavor it may or may not carry.

From the Vaping for Dummies book: Ethanol is flammable. Your coils get white hot.
