Glycerin

[paxes]

I went to a high street cake shop supplier and found some Glycerin fit for human consuption. Hope this might help someone looking for it.

I found mine at Ben Franklin's craft store (by the cake/baking goods).

if ordering online, this looks like the best ...
Vegetable Glycerine - Starwest Botanicals

if you want to pick up locally from a chain store, Vitamin Shoppe has it.
Pure Vegetable Glycerin by Nature's Answer - VitaminShoppe.com

Both are Kosher Products ... lol

one note- if you don't want alot of lingering vapor, then use sparingly, but if vapor isn't an issue, then usem ore- but again, it will cut down on the flavor if too much is used as I've found out

So, if I wanted to make my own e-liquid, with which I could refill cartridges, or drip, what would I need to do? Is it possible to do this from scratch by:

1. simmering tobacco in water, straining (with laboratory grade filters )

and

2. adding vegetable glycerin?

I'm just looking for a pretty detailed recipe for diy smoke juice. Is there a way to test the nicotine content? What are the parts per whole for each ingredient?

I do homebrew beer and I'd really like to be able to make my own e-liquid. I'm looking for a basic, but detailed recipe, that I can maybe eventually play with.

I'd buy a book, but they haven't gotten around to it yet and I know many of you are still experimenting.

Sorry if this was answered somewhere else. I'm just a little confused.

I've picked up the Humco Glycerin.

Used my existing cart that was starting to dry up.

Dripped a drop of glycerin into the atomizer.
Dripped a drop of Bickford's Melon flavor into the atomizer.
Dripped 5 drops of the Melon onto the top of the cart.

Smoked, smoked, smoked that ecigarette!

Excellent vapor, excellent flavor, excellent recommendations all around! Thanks everyone - esp. Naz!

Hello Michael. You'll be able to find some threads using the Tag "diy_juice".

Best if we leave this thread about glycerin, not homebrew.

Naz, do you know from all your esmoking experience that using regular carts, regular liquid, in the same amounts, avoids this gas problem (and sorry if I missed you discussing this already). I'm wondering because heavy smoking can cause gas due to all the air that is inhaled.

No I'm almost positive it's the Glycerin- With the regular cartridges, I get a little bit of the rumbling, but as soon as I start refilling, or dripping Glycerin on the atomizer, the rumbling really takes off big time, and if I stop for a bit- after a few hours, it settles down a bit- I've tested htis quite a few times, and the resulkts are always hte same for me. you may not have a problem with it- TB and Cash both don't seem to have any problems with Glycerin- but Cash does with the Propylene Glycerol- just hte opposite of me.
