Real Whiskey as additive in liquid

[gdigitel]

Not sure if this has surfaced before and apologies if it has. Would it be safe to add real whiskey in a mix? I know it's acceptable to add small amounts of alcohol and I can't think that anything in whiskey would be a problem. The only thing that could be an issue is that you may need a tad to much whiskey to get the flavour and this could dilute the mix a bit much?

 

[gdigitel]

Oh and of course it would be really sacrilege if the recipe fails and you have to waste the whiskey.

 

[Stosta]

Yuk! Why would you want to ruin your juice like that?

I have no idea how bad it would be, but personally I wouldn't vape anything that wasn't specifically designed to be vaped. The last time I did something for science it backfired so have become a little cautious in my old age.

Agree with @Stosta. Last time I did a experiment I ended up walking around without eyebrows for two months.
So I will be cautious

Most if not all the things we vape weren't designed for vaping. Most of our concentrates for DIY are food flavorings, VG and PG have strong backgrounds in medicine, food and industry.

I'm sure I've seen a DIY recipe calling for Jack Daniels before.

If anything, I'm inclined to think the whisk(e)y may lead to extra coil gunking.

Maybe @Spydro has some input?

Oh @Stosta , the last time I did a vape experiment 'for science' it was to make my own coffee addiditve, even put me off drinking coffee for a couple of months.

Haha!

I had to spend the weekend plastering a wall in my warehouse

There's not only the health issue to consider though @gdigitel , we also got to think about the flash point of whiskey. I have no idea how flammable it is in whatever quantities, but food for thought.

 

[Feliks Karp]

My biggest concern would be impurities in the whiskey and how they react to the heat, but then also the dosage. I doubt it will give it much extra "whiskey" flavour, probably just a bit more throat hit.

Also don't listen to these other pansies, experiment away but do it with safety and education foremost in your mind.

There's also a couple of recipes on ELR that look like they may call for actual whisk(e)y

Eyebrows are overrated, and they usually grow back.

Exactly and all you have to do is make sure someone like @Stosta is there for you to push in front of the bang. Safe as houses.

I actually think @Andre or @rogue zombie might have a more informed idea on OP's question.

Hmm, I've got some JD in the cupboard that hasn't seen daylight for a while. Seems like it would go well with a good dark tobacco... any eastranders with the concentrates want to join me in an experiment?

So it would be best to use a 12 year old and stay well clear of the R60 plonk cause their contents is questionable even for regular consumption. Also would be advisable to have plucked eyebrows and shaved head. Who knows, maybe it will be a taste explosion though.

I highly recommend you try, just to satisfy my curiosity as to it's efficacy and safety

 

[Andre]

The high alcohol in the whiskey will surely lead to the biggest and baddest throat hit ever - let us know. Probably also ignite your wick.

There are some good whiskey concentrates - FA Whiskey, TFA Kentucky Bourbon, FLV Bourbon.

I made a Whiskey Sour and Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire.

Humm I don't have a clue.

I know folks have aired out juices to get rid of traces of alcohol, so a full on "shot" of it sounds extreme to me.

Maybe diluted in PG?

So in the interests of science... well...


The weight shown on the scale is for 0,5ml liquid.

Mixed with 9,5 ml VG.

Ideas on steeping time?

Shake and blow baby.

Just vape it outside. If it catches alight throw that mofo like a hand grenade into the neighbors garden

Just don't use your CSMNT RDA. It might live up to its name and take off on a mission to Uranus... or Mars

 

[William Vermaak]

Agree with @gdigitel. Use your oldest kit.

Put the same amount of whisky in a tot glass, add water to make up 10 ml and taste. Should give you an idea of the taste of the concentrate. I think?
