Vaping chemicals other than nicotine

[jlarsen]

Has anyone here heard of people using PVs for or selling ejuices that contain any other "active" ingredients besides nicotine? And NO, I'm not talking about anything illegal.

I was thinking more along the lines of caffeine. Or maybe theobromine.

I have done some web searches and found ejuice sold out of Germany that contains vitamins. Not sure if that is such a good idea or not.

Obviously, even caffeine would have to be in small, regulated doses so as not to be toxic.

But, if nicotine, why not caffeine?

Things that are OK when consumed by mouth may be harmful when used in a vapor and inhaled. A good example is anything with an oil base or containing oil. Your lungs can't remove it and oil can result in a trip to the ER or worse.

I wouldn't even try something that isn't widely used and at least condoned as being relatively safe by a testing lab. ejuice has been tested (not as much as we'd like) and has a history with vapers who have had no problems with vaping those liquids.

I prefer to vape juices without any of the added chemicals, vitamins, etc., that you mention. They already have enough chemicals in the flavorings, and I certainly wouldn't want to add more.

After creating this thread, I did a search and found another thread about theoretically vaping caffeine, it seems it wasn't well received. If what was said is true, that the caffeine would coat the inside of your throat, then no, it probably isn't a good idea.

I would like to get the effect of eating 2 dark chocolate bars without the 400 calories. I did some research and found where I could buy theobromine powder, and also how much is in a Hershey's Special Dark bar... So I guess I could just buy the powder and eat/drink it mixed with something else.

Not sure why anyone would want to vape vitamins when multi-vitamins are so readily available. Maybe B vitamins for the energy boost...

I was just curious if anyone was vaping other stuff, and if so, what and why.

correct me if I'm wrong but vitamins are absorbed by the small intestines, not the lungs ....

caffeine in useful quantities will be very, very bitter
