BEHOLD: The absolute perfect tobacco flavoring and nicotine extraction method.

[MickiO]

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.

Just curious where you got that adorable "thankyou" smiley?

i dont know if this has been posted here http://www.swedish-snus.com/snus/Mak...wn%20Snus-465/ make your own snus mabe the you could use the flavouring

How much tobacco is in one of the snus pouches? I'd like to try this with loose snus but I'd like to figure out the proportions first.

[brothafrank]

The highest has 17 mg of nicotine, that is the same as 1.7% nicotine in tobacco. And they have 5% salt added, so there is more salt in it then nicotine. And that salt is not a good thing, the snus has a high amount of water as well. When using snus as it should be used, only 10 to 20% of the nicotine gets into the blood stream.

So after taking everything into account, they are using water and ph levels, to adjust how much nicotine gets to the blood stream. We are talking about a normal cig's nicotines worth here, from weak to strongest, it's about the same only you have high water, and salt levels to deal with with snus.

Hey Tims, you said "salt is not a good thing", I am soaking camel snus in 10ml of unflavored and it tastes great, I was poking around to see it the salt was a problem, what do you know that I don't about vaping the salt?

Thanks in advance.

Uh....to dispel rumors, snus soaking works for flavoring, but won't give up hardly any nic unless tucked between the cheek and gum. Also, the 10-20% figure comes from a 30 minute use, I normally leave a portion in for a minimum of 1 hour, but usually 2-2 1/2 hours and I get quite a large amount of nic during that time. 5% salt isn't very much in a portion, but some snus do go higher. Hope this helps those who thought different .

A full-size portion has about 1 gram of 'baccy and the mini's are 1/2 gram .

what i done was took 3 reg cigarettes
took out the the tobaco
added boiling water
made like a tea simmered for 10 min
sieved out the tobacco leaves
boiled and reduced the water to about 10 ml
of a very concentrated juice flavouring
added a couple of drops of this to 10ml vg
now have perfect tobaco flavoured ejuice with a very low nic count
just perfect flavouring

... and what was the reason you started vaping?

Seems to me all your getting is a concentrated formula containing those 4000 chems you are trying to avoid. This time they are not being burned off, you're getting the full "montey". Why don't you go back to smoking?

I want to thank everyone for this thread. I'm sitting at the Pilot truck stop near Dayton, OH and popped in and found they just got these in today - bought the Marlboro Rich and Mild and and whipped up a batch!

I took an empty 36ml bottle, popped the top and plopped 3 packets in, added 10ml of 36mg unflavored and microwaved on medium for 10 seconds (until about baby bottle hot), recapped and shook the bottle and viola! dripped the juice into another bottle through the drip nozzle and the results were astounding and so easy!! Perfect tobacco flavor without paying $20 for it, a pack of the new Marb' Rich was $1.75 for 6 pouches!




as far as health risks, i'm sure doing this negates at least some of the safety of not burning tobacco - i'd say this levels it to somewhere at or less than chewing tobacco (mouth cancer, throat cancer and different type of lung cancer risk) but considering the lack of potency and direct contact with mucous membranes, the ultimate risk must be on a factor of a power of -10 compared to chewing tobacco and -10,000 compared to smoking. We still aren't stinking up the air and our clothes, rotting our teeth and gums with the heat associated with smoke. This I can live with at a minimum of guilt.

I used the Camel mellow and the frost snus yesterday. I put two packets in VG and let it sit for 3 hours. It is just like a cigarette taste! I was wanting to use this for my base to mix with Lorann flavorings or just by itself. Thanks for the info on this topic!

[grabeard]

Yeah. You notice they have 17mg there? Per pouch!!! Oh my goodness. I need to get some of those and soak them. See what happens.

Do you know the discount code for the snus? Would like to give it a try.

I have been making my own cofee flavour for some time. I add instant granules of expresso cofee (2 good teaspoons) to 20ml of neat standard strength vodca in a small tubular bottle.Shake well and leave for several days shaking well when ever I remember.After a couple of days put the bottle in the fridge and leave overnight.You will find the contents have seperated into a dark but clear upper layer of cofee liquor and a lower muddy layer containing the undissolved solids.Simply dropper off the upper layer and add to your nic juice (in my case French Pipe),the more you add the stronger the cofee flavour.

to remove the sediment, use a centrifuge. you could also use anything that spins at a high speed, such as a disc sander, or perhaps, attach a sealed cap plastic bottle with a tie-wrap to your hubcap and take it for a spin. i think hobby centrifuges would be cheap. i'd imagine they even have them drills. you could probably make your own. you want it to ideally sit at a 45 degree angle... like this... /_|_\ ... they test soils like this to determine amount of clay, sand, and other content.

you can put the material in alcohol or water (i forgot what we used in chemistry class to make aspirin), give it a spin, and the sediment will be pushed to the bottom. instead of draining off the liquid for the aspirin, you would discard the sediment and keep the liquid. you probably wouldn't want to spin it too fast for too long or you'll end up with everything at the bottom and only alcohol at the top. you would then heat the liquid to get rid of the alcohol and water, leaving you with the purified liquid flavor. you would then add this to your nicotine pg/vg liquid.
