Just thinking here as glycol is technically an alcohol, could vaping cause you to fail a breath test when driving?

Lets change your question slightly. Imagine PG is 100% alcohol. How much are you consuming before your breath test?

My tank is 5ml and it usually keeps me going for the day. Drinking 5ml of pure alcohol wouldnt make you fail a breathalyzer test. Therese probably as much as in the mouthwash you swished with in the morning.

Your 5ml tank isn't 100% PG and you didn't consume it all in one go.

I think you are safe.

It's more a hypothetical question haha, but was just wondering.

I'd only consume 2-4mls per day of 50/50
