You always use some PG with nic as the base until you find a good mix assuming the taste really is that good.

You likely got less .. much less, since a lot of nic remains in used-up snus portions. Still, if the flavor is good, go for it.
Yeah i actually thought about this shortly after i posted it. also, i said one ounce, not ml :P. flavor is really really good though. i enjoy it alot.

Default hmmmm...

..I'm very curious as to what other chemical additives on the tobacco find its way into the PG during the soak.

Are we entirely sure that PG can leach the nic out of tobacco? I once made a concotion sort of like the above. Dumped RYO tobacco into a 30ml bottle with PG/VG mix and let it sit for 48 hours. Then strained it. Taste was intense, and I got some on my finger ... thought I was about to pass out !!!

But, I do admit ... soaking any tobacco really gives you that tobacco taste!!!

So we're probably actually looking at getting more flavor than nic? Which might still work for me since I now have the 48mg unflavored juice to start with.

So if I add one of those packets to (how many) mls.....I could end up with a good tobacco flavor?

TB, if you experiment with this and your 48mg, let us know how it goes. I do have to cut the 48 a bit but (easily) making my own tobacco flavor would be a plus.

You might want to try Swedish snus rather than the american snus, its widely accepted that it is cleaner with less bad stuff in it. It is available in a wide variety of strengths and flavours.

Here is a blatant plug for a retailer, where I get reward points for referral.

Where do you get tobacco leaf? I hope you manage to make e-liquids for us in USA as well. I'd love a great tobacco taste.

Are storms keeping you up like they are doing to me? Storms after storms! I am practically your neighbor me thinks!

I am going to try this method. I want to make the solution and mix it with some unflavored e-juice.

I am going to get me a can of camel snus. I tried one the other day from a friend. This is not bad stuff. I would much rather vape those.
