vaping pga?

[mary_d]

When PGA is used in a DIY juice is any of that getting into our system or does it evaporate at the atty?

I want to use PGA for a throat hit but I am on a medication at the moment that says NO ALCOHOL that is why I am asking.



Thanks!

Both, it evaporates, and you inhale it. Like a lot of other things you can inhale instead of digest, it actually gets into your system faster this way, has a stronger effect drop for drop, but doesn't last as long.

It doesn't add much TH, though, so you wouldn't really be missing out on much.

Mary,

While I keep hearing that PGA adds to TH, I've not had it happen to me as of yet.

It can add some warmth and can brighten some flavors, but I have yet to have it add TH.

There have been some banter on what PGA is doing in the atty, but I don't know what is going on exactly. I would assume that if the atty is evaporating it and I am inhaling the evaporation, then I would be consuming that tiny bit of PGA.

I cannot imagine that I would vape as much alcohol in a day than my liver naturally produces, but have never even tried to measure it.

If you are needing TH without the nic content, you might want to try the harsher flavors.

(There have even been some experiments with pepper extracts to up the TH, but I've never tried it.)

I have not tried using PGA but I understand the reason people use it is to mix maybe an oil base flavor? or Tobacco Absolute. Is this correct Nikhil and Hoosier?

Hi Mary! I wouldn't chance it.

 

[Hoosier]

Yes, I use it for TA and getting oils to mix.

Also use it to give Pina Colada a "brightness".

And to thin VG when I do an all VG mix.

The Soupley's store is staring to recognize me when I go in for a bottle...

Hoosier, what are you using, EverClear?

 

[Hoosier]

Yeah, 190 proof.

Wish I could find larger bottles. (also use it for cleaning)

I make a VG based Tom Collins recipe and use London Dry Gin to thin the VG. It doesn't provide enough flavor by itself so I also add FA Gin flavoring. The real gin gives the taste some "authenticity," I reckon.

... I wonder if you can vape quinine...

I use pga to thin my VG and tell the difference between it and when I use just distilled water.
It does add a bit of TH at least for me, small but it's there. I really don't care for the water, it bog's it down almost it seems.Hard to describe...
The amounts are so small I wouldn't worry if it's only a few drops or so.. ( you probably ingest more from using mouthwash)

Wow I had to run out for a bit right after posting this and I came back to the surprise of many helpful answers Thank you all very much! This has helped make my decision for sure.

Called my doc and pharmacist about the know alcohol warning with the medication and they both said that it would be safe to add to my ejuice mixes if I wanted to because there would not be anywhere near enough consumed to affect the meds.


I had some everclear in the cabinet so I decided to give it a try (I can't stand not knowing lol) I could tell a tiny bit of difference at 10% PGA but not enough to make a real difference.

so what's the best thing to use for added throat hit?
