Hello. I’m planning to make my own nopox. Is this stuff okay or does the charcoal part make it bad? It’s 40 proof.

Good vodka is filtered five or more times usually using a charcoal filter.
I also think you mean that vodka is 40% and it’s prob 80 proof. EU requires it to be 75 proof US requires it to be 80 proof

I’ve always been curious why vodka and not grain alcohol?

And BTW US liquor is not required to be 80 proof. If it’s cask strength it’s that ever proof it ended up at after evaporation
IMO, that’s fine too.
