Question about thinning VG with Grain alcohol.

[Forkeh]

This might sound like an stupid question, but it's really important to me. Will doing this get me drunk? I want to do it to thin down my VG juice (it's not that I've got anything against PG, but I can't seem to find it in any brick and mortor and that annoys me), and to try and add a bit of TH, as I'm vaping 0 nic.

I can't have my eliquid getting me drunk, as I often vape when I drive and what not. So help me out guys.

You can usually get PG at the pharmacy, if not there you certainly can order it online. Even Capella's down by San Diego sells it online.

If I need to thin VG I use a drop or two of distilled water. I don't like alcohol in my juice.

I add PGA to thin my VG at about 10%. I'm a heavy vaper at around 10ml through out the day, so that means I am vaping about 1ml of PGA in roughly 16 hours. Needless to say I've never been drunk off it

Remember that vodka or PGA will increase TH. In my case I am not too big a fan on adding either, so I usually use DW, which is an excellent thinning agent and adds nothing to the vape. There have been threads in the health section and the discussions fairly conclusively said that you won't get enough absorption by inhaling alcohol to even register. Think about sniffing an open bottle of scotch, you have to actually drink it to feel any effects. When you use an alcohol to blambe something in the kitchen, the alcohol burns off immediately and a gravy will not make you intoxicated, but standing over the stove won't eother. Caffeine is a different story entirely.

Walmart has both PG and VG.

Even if alcohol absorbed into your blood from lungs as efficiently as it does through stomach(it might i dont know)
think of the quantity needed. I can feel 2 shots of 100 proof vodka if I have an empty stomach. Thats 50ml pure alcohol at once and not even enough to be legally drunk for most anyway. I'd be worried more about not being drunk, but cops thinking you are and somehow vaping juice with 2% alcohol messing with accuracy of a breathalyzer.

Alcohol absorbs almost instantly through your lungs, and is absorbed almost completely, directly into blood stream. But the quantity is still low. Boiling some vodka knocked me out once when I was an experimenting teenager

Commie -- you must have stood over the pot for a long time. That is how distillers seperate the alcohol from the mash, by boiling and then condensing. If you are cooking with a bit, it is neglilgible, but you must have had a fifth in there! Sorry for laughing, I had never hear of anybody doing that. You turned yourself into a condenser and was inhaling PGA.

Agreed with those above, the amount in e-liquid is (or should be) neglegible and shouldn't effect your BAC if put on a brethalyzer.
