Vodka is now my best friend!

[reddragon]

Never been much of a vodka drinker (drink lots of other things, but not vodka ) but thanks to beetle and lairey suggestion in my post about my mixes missing something, I bought a cheap half bottle in morrisons on friday to try.

I have added 0.1ml per 10ml e-liquid to my CLC and Blaqnblue and what a difference 

I still need to tweak the concentrate percentages but it has really rounded off the flavours which was what was missing so a massive   to you both.

Well done reddragon , join the club!
I mix 20% Vodka with Nic and PG to produce a neutral vape for changing between flavours.
It's not a bade vape, + I've got ideas for other spirits!

Excellent news reddragon.  I just slosh some straight into my VG bottle to make it less viscous

yummy good to know I can vape it, as well as drink the stuff

On a bit of a different note...

Vodka being rather neutral is one of the best spirits to take flavour, chillies, spices, fruits, sweets etc. Almost anything can be added to a bottle, leave it for 4 weeks, shaking every couple of days, strain and store in a cool dark place. Yes those expensive flavoured vodkas really aren't made like this, they use the same flavourings that we use in juices The pikeyness in me makes me do this for mates for Xmas.

***Protip***

Use cheap vodka like Tesco blue line, there's no point using expensive stuff as you won't taste the difference once flavoured. In the past i've made chilli, skittles, maltester, snickers, raspberry, strawberry, lemon, blackberry, vanilla, cinnamon and a whole number of others that i can't remember. Berries are cool because they colour the vodka as well, something that the like of Smirnoff don't do because they use flavour concentrates.

I love me some skittles vodka... takes a blooming age to separate all the colours first though

*-SARIN-* how on earth do you get the snickers bar in to the bottle of vodka

[Pepperty]

ha! But it would be worth it for attractive colored/ flavored vodka shots! sounds like my idea of heaven lairey

my pal does this, damson gin and now she does vodka for me, with whatever fruit is abundant in her orchard. yay!

Once the steeping has finished you just filter out the sludge that's left at the bottom of the bottle.

Glad that you found a solution reddragon

Will Be Experimenting Wiv Voddy & Tobacco Leaf Now....Anything to Try & Break Down the Sugars in the Leaf......My Coils are SO Sludged Up in No Time!

Bar called the crowded house in courchevel did a large amount of flavored vodka, they tasted great. Just popped 2 mini mars bars in or what not.

Had a tray full the night I was leaving, was doing great until the last one which was chilli.

[prr]

I used to make them at a pub I ran in Torquay, the bestsellers were toffee, chilli but far and away the best seller was fox's glacier mints.

How are you straining your Tobacco Leaf concentrate yourgurnard?

Either pushing the liquid through cottonwool in a syringe ( several times ) or through the leg of a pair of tights, Butter Muslin are quite good methods. Although I believe the cottonwool/syringe way is the best . . . whatever you do, coils are going to gunge up quicker using tobacco leaf unfortunately.

Tell Me About it!!!..
Filtration....I've Used 400 Mesh, Then C/Wool in Syringe, Then Dripping Thru' Coffee Filter Paper ('Bout 12 Hrs!!!)
...& Lately, Cutting Tiny Bits From a 1 Micron Filter Bag (From When I Was Filtering Veg. Oil for Diesel Fuel..) for the Syringe....
According to a Post by the HofL Guv'nor, (on the 'Simian' Vaping 'World' Forum...Y'Know it!!)...It's the Sugars Inherent in the Baccy that are a Residual...Nature of  the Beast!
Still Experimenting Really........& Coil Winding!!!!
