My husband said that was a good thing to try. How much does a centrifuge cost?

Have you seen that new "The incredible hulk" movie? In the beginning he gets a flower through the mail that he thinks will cure him. He cuts off all the leaves and mixes it in some solution. Then he puts it in some kind of jerry-rigged homeade centrifuge that draws everything out of the leaves in the solution. no boiling necessary.

I'm really interested in this technique, but I'm confused about one thing. When it talks about the strength of the glycerine being 50% or 75%, does it mean to simmer the liquid until it is reduced, or to add distilled water to dilute it?
Thanks for all of this great information! I really think you are on to something good.

Default My little recipe that works well!

This is my first post on the forums, so hello everyone. I have been a member for a little while and been reading all the information, but finally have a good reason to post. I stumbled upon this thread and decided to experiment myself. I have come up with a recipe that works really well for me and tastes pretty good.

The ingredients I bought were as follows:
1 Gallon of Propylene Gycol, U.S.P. purchased at Tractor Supply for $18.91
2 3.7mL bottles of LorAnns Butter Rum purchased at WalMart for $2.00
1 tin of Camel SNUS purchased at gas station for $2.11
1 50ml bottle of 80 proof Absolut Vanilla Vodka which I got for free from my mother-in-law

First I got a 4oz baby bottle, we had a bunch of them in the house and I figured the plastic should be safe for mixing, since it is safe for a baby to drink from it.

I poured 4oz of the PG into the baby bottle. Next I added 10 packets of the SNUS and placed the lid on top. I let it sit for 4hrs, and every 20 minutes or so, I shook the bottle.

After it sat for 4hrs, I removed all the packets of SNUS with tweezers and threw them away. Next I poured out the bottle of Absolut Vanilla Vodka into the sink (I don't drink alcohol anymore, you can drink it if you want ) After emptying the bottle, I did NOT wash it out, you want to keep the remnants of alcohol in it.

Next I poured one of the 3.7mL bottles of LorAnns Butter Rum into the Vodka bottle. Then I got my syringe and added 30mL (1 oz) of the PG/SNUS mixture, after shaking it well, into the Vodka bottle. I put the cap back on, shook it vigorously, then let it sit with the cap on for about 10 minutes. I removed the cap after giving it one last shake and let it sit with the cap removed for about 2hrs, put the cap back on, shook it again, then removed the cap, got a dropper, put a few drops on the atty of my RN4081 (NJOY) and WHAT A GOOD HIT!!!

If you don't like Butter Rum, then this may not be for you, but the kick is excellent and throat hit is excellent. All this for a little over $20.

Sounds good, but... you wasted all that alcohol??? (Just kidding, I don't drink much anymore either.) Let us know how your atomizer likes the mixture.

So far no problems. I know in the LorAnn chart I found that it said Butter Rum was ok to use. The only problem I have, is that I think I need to let it air out a little bit more, to get some alcohol to evaporate out, but it could be because I am a "pussy" when it comes to alcohol anymore. I used to drink no problem, but now my tolerance is so low that one beer will get me drunk (I know because I have drank since "quitting", it's more of a major cutback, equal to about one beer every 6-12 months) and I am 6' 3" and weigh about 240.

Hey guys i know this might sound like a really stupid question but i've been using a pv for a week or so now, and as much as it satisfies me (i dont need to pick up a analog) i still do miss the taste of Marlboro reds, because well thats what i smoked for the past 10 years. I'm just wondering if I were to take a pack of reds, take all the tobacco out of the cigs and soak that it in a combination of pg/vg for sometime, and after straining it would the liquid taste anything like reds when i vape it???

I'm not sure, but I doubt it, because the taste you're missing is probably the taste of burning reds, and you won't be burning them. I guess you could try it and see, but I really doubt it's what you're looking for.
