Juices with Alcohol...

[CloudmanJHB]

Hi All,

Do any of you know of any juices that contain alcohol and is this something that is a major deterrent for vapers?

What are the downsides \ risks etc.

Thanks
Darren

As I understand it, juices might contain alcohol in minute amounts due to some concentrates extracted with alcohol. Nothing to worry about except on non-health grounds.

Most juice vendors should be able to tell you (and many disclose same on their web sites) whether the juice contains alcohol. It is one of the most frequently asked questions here when new juice lines are announced, because for some of our members not even a minute amount of alcohol is allowed.

Yes some concentrates use traces of alcohol or some or other type of alcohol.

You just need to find out if any particular juice does have.

Besides religion, you have nothing to worry about. We are literally talking "traces" or minute amounts.

I reckon simply putting your mouth near a shot of alcohol, would mean you would inhale more alcohol content.

I have a rum flavor and the rum flavorant does have a little alcohol in it but it seems to evaporate after steeping @ 60 degrees celcius for 2 hours with the lid off.

When I say little I mean little as in trace amounts.

Also the people that do not vape "alcohol" flavors might be surprised to know that the alcohol flavors are not made from actual alcohol.

This might offend some and I apologise beforehand but isn't it hypocritical to not vape alcohol flavors when PG and VG are both alcohols?.

propylene glycol

CHEMISTRY

1. a liquid alcohol which is used as a solvent, in antifreeze, and in the food, plastics, and perfume industries.

Chemically speaking, glycerin is an alcohol, but for food purposes, it is classed — in the USA — as a carbohydrate by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA), because it provides calories and is not a fat or a protein.

Man I seriously hope you don't plan on selling juice, which contains ethyl alcohol, saying that it doesn't contain any alcohol. There's a drastic difference between chemicals which are alcohols, and the colloquial alcohol which is ethyl alcohol. Arguing this is not only pedantic but disrespectful to people who chose to live a life without alcohol.

no need to be condescending. I was just asking. I have no idea what you are saying about my rum flavoring. It is the same flavoring you would buy from any big flavor house.

And yes I would like to hear the views of people that observe halaal in regards to how they view pg and vg.

I think that as long as ya a juice maker is disclosing all the specifics of an ingredient it's perfectly ethical.

It is then up to the person to decide.

As far as the grey areas of what is classified as what, I would hope that the person is doing their homework prior to starting something like vaping and all the possible conflicts it might have with his/her belief system or preference.

and you would see on my website that my tobacco rum banana has a warning that it contains trace amounts of alcohol.

No, you knew perfectly well that those are totally different substances, been around the block. Escaped from supervision again!

Okay okay you got me.

Last words from me then I'm outta here. I did not think that clouder's question was about intentionally adding alcohol to an eliquid but rather if there are juices which use concentrates that alcohol might he a component of. Plus VG AND PG might not make you drunk but it surely will make you fat if eaten in quantity as it has almost 30% more calories than sugar. Cya

If I can add my 2c, I'm trying to get a family member onto vaping (smoking a pipe now and then)
He had his pancreas removed (pancreatitis) and the slightest amount of alcohol can kill him instantly.

So I feel it's very very important for vendors to disclose even trace amounts. Playing with someone's life is no joke
