Powdered alcohol approved by federal agency | Fox News

'Bureau spokesman Hogue said the Alcohol and tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau regularly reaches out to the Food and Drug Administration to get determinations on whether a product might be considered "adulterated." If the FDA says the product isn't adulterated, he said the bureau's evaluation centers on whether labels accurately reflect what's in the product.
"Potential for abuse isn't grounds for us to deny a label," Hogue said.'

What a bunch of hypocritical BS. There is far more potential for alcohol abuse than for E-Cigs yet they come out and say when it comes to the latter, that the potential for abuse doesn't matter.

Their entire campaign against electronic cigarettes is built upon a "potential for abuse". So tired of this crap.

Awesome! the article says you can snort it

 

[RCHagy74]

I wonder if you can snort it

Almost anything can be snorted... Is it good for you though?

Well, maybe broccoli.

Somebody think of the children!

Snort Broccoli!

It's a gateway to {other stuff}, re-normalizes snorting, and a danger to bystanders. It's obviously a tobacco product.

Which is why I never trusted broccoli...

Seriously though, from a PR stand point (not that the vape industry has a PR unit), this is something which can be used.

The whole powdered alcohol, potential abuse thing, not the broccoli.

Seriously speaking, I don't mind it.

But, as you mentioned, it could be useful material when judging how vape shall be regulated.

Child gets ahold of it and eats it all, gets alcohol poisoning, dies. Nothing happens to the industry.

What could possibly go wrong?

College banning all liquid and solid foods on the premises 'cause it looks like alcohool (see the other thread).

And didn't this already happen with caffeine powder ?

I worked with a guy who claimed that he snorted ....... He was crazy enough that I believed him ...

So if you snort Palcohol, and get a buzz that lasts for more than four hours, should you call your doctor ?

 

[RCHagy74]

Yes. (stupid ten character limit!)

 

[stevegmu]

People are using powdered alcohol in e-liquid?

People are using powdered alcohol in e-liquid?

sure as death and taxes.

[caramel]

That would be kinda stupid since solids are not very good at wicking. However, as you mentioned, some will definitely have such a great idea.

Just saw this video. We can all relate quite well with what's happening with ecigs, the media going into a frenzy and bashing the product with total ignorance, the senators wanting to ban a harmless product and always the useless comment about "think of the children".

I haven't heard of it but it's possible,
You dissolve the powder in VG and vape away.
But it seems like an extra step
'cause one can vape alcohol. put a little bacardi in your tank...a vaper libre ☻

 

[Zurd]

It's possible but completely useless. A shooter is about 30ml so you'd have to vape 30ml to get just one shooter of alcohol. You could instead, vape Everclear 95%, you'd still have to vape a lot and it would most certainly taste extremely awful.

So no, nobody is vaping powdered alcohol, it's just bad idea.
