What is the smoothest vodka (for under $40 a bottle) I'm not asking about if it has "a subtle hint of citrus..." Just which one has the least alcohol burn aftertaste to it.
Please only answer if you have tasted a lot of different vodkas.

Yes, distilling cheap vodka will improve the quality. Assuming you live in a country/state where it is legal, or you have a license to distill. Cheap commercial vodka is normally produced in a process known as continuous distillation. This is a much cheaper means of producing vodka, but it is not very effective in removing impurities which alter the taste and cause nasty hangovers. With the use of a reflux still (google to find out more) it is easy to separate these impurities in the distillation process and keep them away from the vodka. And YES you can make yourself a grey goose quality product using this type of equipment. However the equipment cost to get started will likely not justify doing so unless you burn through a lot of vodka. And if you do have the equipment it is more cost effective to make your own vodka from scratch. Again assuming you legally can where you are.

Absolute blue, although I just love vodka and have tried 105 proof (uk) in Poland,and green vodka in Estonia, at the time they were great drinks,but my normal swilling voddie is TESCO IMPERIAL. When we are having an all fall-down night, I freeze a few bottles of Absolute blue, when it starts to get past the thick stage ,shake the bottle and pour into frozen shot glasses, and you need a lot of glasses and a few friends, it`s so smooth it`s dangerous.

Grey Goose is a good one.
I saw this article in Maxim where they took even cheap vodka and ran them through a Brita/Pur filter and they came out tasting hugely better. So, if it's for "you", it might work to do that as well. I've known people who have tried it and it worked really well.

My favorites are Grey Goose (about $30 for a .750), Vox (about $30 for a .750), or Ciroc (about $32 for a .750). Prices will depend on taxes, mark-up, etc.

Vox is my favorite vodka for smoothness. Ketel One isn't half bad either. I try to steer clear of potato vodka b/c it gives me a nasty hangover but I'm not sure why.

Smirnoff is fine for mixed drinks, but you wouldn't want to drink shots of it. Conversely, top-shelf brands such as Armadale and Jewel of Russia are too good—and too expensive—to mix with anything but ice and/or tonic water and are best drunk straight and straight from the freezer, Although they tend to have a smoother taste.

Stoli or Absolute, keep the bottle in the freezer and it will make any hard liqour a lot smoother.

Belvedere....Yum.. Vodka is a lot like wine...After you pour it, let it breathe for a few minutes...Assuming you are drinking it up or over, not mixed.
