Would it be possible/safe to add a few drops of bombay sapphire gin to a mix?

I love the citrus/pine/terpine notes found in bombay sapphire. Just curious.

I don't actually think anyone could say for certain. I see a lot of mixes on ECF and some other places that have things like Jack Daniel's in them in tiny amounts.

Like Captain said, it isn't unusual for people to do it, but no one really knows in the end.

I personally wouldn't do it with all my juice, like some maxVG users do, but I'd feel comfortable using it in a couple recipes.

Do NOT sell it though. That would be reckless without further information.

Note: some maxVG and/or zero-nic users use it to thin their juice and replace some of the lost throat hit that PG/nic provides. Distilled water is a safer alternative but lacks the extra throat hit.

you know this has got me thinking. Does anyone know of a juniper flavored juice?

I read sometime ago that Russia has alcohol-vaping bars....

Whoops, I actually found another link for a contraption that allows you to vape "your favorite alcohol".

These guys are vaping straight vodka, I am presuming...

Hehe, innit?

Apparently, inhaling vaporized alcohol literally goes straight to your head. You get incredibly drunk, incredibly quickly. Not sure what effects it has on your brain... probably not good. Sounds like fun!

I sometimes mix up to 10% vodka in my VG so I don't see why not ;)

After reading /u/drugsarefuckingcoral's comment, it got me thinking: if it is the juniper flavor you like, and can't find an extract, you could make it using juniper berries and the DIY extractions method located in the sidebar.

Perfectly safe. Ethyl Alcohol is an acceptable diluting liquid. You don't want much, like you said, few drops. I use a particular kind of alcohol in some of my mixes. Of course, avoid anything with sugars in it.

The artificially flavored vodkas and such don't work well either, in fact they may not be safe to inhale.

The risks are far too great for the reward. Diacetyl was found to cause permanent scarring to the lungs and is an additive in a lot of custard flavors. Never be the guinea pig.
