Bad Cromwell! Everyone knows kerosene is a beverage, not a vape!
To thin the juice down so it wicks better? Never put wine in my juice..or PG in my Sangria.I used to always add 1 % vodka to all recipes - but I quit doing it about a year ago once I couldn't remember why I was doing it

I think we used it to thin juice. Back in the day, if I remember correctly
a bunch of the then available vaping equipment worked better with thinner juice. Ron

But it adds complex layering notes to my juice. And you can use your atty like a candle if the lights go out.
Alcohol is in some flavorings.
Heard about using vodka as a thinner. The idea of combining a flammable liquid with glowing hot coils struck me as a bit goofy. Don't know why it would be preferred over water as a thinner. Maybe it adds a flavor element, though all I get from straight vodka is "hospital", not a flavor I'm really excited to try vaping, thanks. I've never had to deal with an "overly thick" situation requiring its (or water's) use, so can't comment on how well it would work if that's what you're trying to accomplish. I did use vodka once to try to clean some really stubborn lingering aromas (curse you FLV Pink Guava/INW Rhubarb!). It didn't work.
Regarding wine...I assume it's full of coil/lung gunking natural sugars and other organic dissolved solids that would be far less than ideal if heated and inhaled. Maybe I'm wrong?

Yes, and quite unpleasant to vape until it's been given time to evaporate out.
Alcohol is used as an ingredient in some recipes. ... some juice calculators list it. Juice Grinder has Vodka as a main base component.

I have heard of using both Vodka or distilled water (I would go with the distilled water) being used as a thinner.
I don't think I would use wine as the sugar content would most likely gunk up your coils something fierce!

Wine heated to steam would probably taste terrible.
But why?
I'm really curious about the chemistry of all this now. Been searching around and it seems that people have used vodka to a) thin VG juice, b) add throat hit. The thinning part is obvious, vodka is mostly water and ethanol, but if all I want to do is thin out a thick eliquid, why would I opt for vodka over distilled water?
Increasing TH is potentially useful, but how much vodka do you need to add? I added 5 drops (approx. .21 g) of Burnett's to 10 ml of VG and don't notice any difference, except I can smell ethanol. Anyone who's done this, how much vodka do I need to use if I want to increase TH?
Only reason that I can think of is that alc vaporized better than straight water.
I use whisky in mine as I just don't get the flavours from whisky or bourbon flavourings however it's only a few drops and left to settle for a couple of days in a dark cupboard breathing to let the alcohol dissipate before adding to any recipes. Never used vodka and certainly wouldn't use wine as there are a lot of brands that add other compounds to preserve the wine etc.
