Scotch/Bourbon/Rum

[Alien Traveler]

OK, I have (must?) to report it.
Now I usually vape 50/50 PG/VG with a bit of flavoring.
Lately I tried some substitutions for PG, such as 8% of rum, bourbon and scotch.
In terms of wicking 8% of alcohol drinks work as good as 50/50 VG/PG.
All of my recipes had interesting (and satisfying) taste. The best was scotch, second best - bourbon, rum was good, but still the third one.
In terms of alcohol content - more is better.
For scotch no flavorings was needed. It provided its special taste. Bourbon is also good, but much weaker. Rum... OK, I never really liked rum. But it was not bad nevertheless.

I enjoy a tobacco vape with a single malt scotch on the rocks...Ahhhhhh, very therapeutic

I would love to try a nicely aged congac I've always loved congac soaked cigars. Hmmmm.

I'd love to try to soak some tobacco in cognac, spice flavored rum or anisette for a few days then do a hot alcohol extract. I'm afraid the sugars will add to the already coil clogging characteristics of extraction. But I can only imagine the flavor it would produce.

My husband gets PO'd when I drink his scotch, I can't imagine if I started vaping it!!
BUT now you got me thinking Drambuie

Yea that's my thoughts. It would be a delicate balance to make it right but functional beyond my skills at the moment. Maybe someday they'll make them in flavor concentrations.

So I saw this post and literally ran to my scotch rack, I currently have a 20ml batch of 18 yr Lagavulin flavored juice decanting! Will definitely report results!

8% 18 yr Lagavulin
1% 50mg VG nicotine
91% VG

that sounds like it would be tasty
I think that will taste great interesting direction this thread has my mind going.

Lagavulin indeed sounds bang-on, with it's islay peat smokeyness and richness.

I have no idea how much of the differences in sugars survives the distillation process (and that's after going through fermentation... but that's the only reason I might suspect the predominately molasses based Rum to be a potential coil gunker (or thickeners/colorings/additional sugars etc. added during aging... especially cheaper rums).

Can't see a problem with the regular grain based spirits.

What do you mean?
There are a ton of spirits flavored concentrates/juices.

I'm not saying they're "good".

As an aside...
There are a hundred various additives (called "essences") for spiking neutral spirits/vodka to "clone" whatever brand of liquor or liqueur. I'd have to see what they're made of to consider adding one to a juice though. Heh... new project I guess.

I'm thinking of cognac it's so tasty that I think it would be bad for my coils especially microcoil. I have yet to see a cognac flavor concentrate, but if there is one I'll probably try it. I know there are plenty of scotch n rum flavors. I'm not interested as much in them as I would be select brands I know to be good as liquor or single malts. I'm just learning diy ejuice so I don't need to complicate my mixes further. Lol all good but please share if there are cognac brandy flavors in the market. If not I may use some Hennessey to see if I can get flavor I like in an ejuice. I'm to poor for a Landy or better. I'm also to poor to have explored many wonderful brands outside of mainstream brands as well.

You make a good point... I don't recall a Brandy/Cognac, though I haven't been looking either.

While wine can be much sweeter than a grain spirit, I still don't know what, or how much, survives the distillation (such as my question regarding a rum's effect on our coils/wicking).

And I just checked some of those "essences"... flavoring (mostly natural and extracts) and no surprise... PG.

Cool, I will add this to my next order I may also use a dash of sweetener if it is not sweet enough on it's own thanks I missed that one in my searches. thanks man
I'm supposed to be saving money making my own but at the rate I'm buying flavor it will be long term saving not initial lol.
