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

[the88thcrazy]

After a few weeks of experimenting, i have found, what i believe, is quite possibly the best extraction for nicotine and tobacco flavoring. maybe not the most effecient, but it is perfect because it can be done with extremely easy to find products. and the method is relatively simple.

Step 1: Go to your pharmacy, ask if they have propylene glycol. walgreens works fine. should be around 10 dollars for a pint for USP grade. or, if you want a LOT of it, go to a TSC, they sell a gallon of it for 24 dollars. most of you have already done this if you've DIY'd liquid before.

Step 2: Go to...pretty much any gas station. get a product called Camel Snus. it's little packets of tobacco wrapped in paper. should be no more than 5 dollars. i used the mellow flavor, but i'm sure the mentol kind works too.

Step 3: Obtain a 1.5 Oz shotglass (standard size)

Step 4: Obtain either saran wrap, or a ziplock bag. i would reccomend the saran wrap personally.

Step 5: Fill the shotglass with about 1.3 Oz of PG.

Step 6: add 1 packed of snus to the PG. there are 15 packets in a tin, so this can be done multiple times.

Step 7: cover the shotglass with your saran wrap, or put it in a ziplock back. we're just trying to avoid contact with oxygen here. while i don't know if oxygen would actually mess anything up, oxygen likes to mess pretty much all chemicals up, so lets play it safe.

step 8: let the shotglass sit for about 2 hours.

step 9: remove the saran wrap, or take it out of the plastic bag.

step 10: Using a pencil, or anything else long and thin, press down on the packet to get any extra nicotine out while in the shotglass. don't worry about it ripping, those packets are actually pretty tough. i think it's the same stuff they use for teabags.

step 11: take the packet out, bend it in half, then squeeze the packet above the shotglass to get all the extra pg/nicotine out.

step 12: mix around the new solution in the shotglass, then vape it and enjoy!


The results are great. it actually tastes like a real cigarette. i was smoking just the solution alone, and i love it more than any liquid i've had before. it really tastes like tobacco. i mixed some lorann's into it as well, still tasted great.

this method is more for the tobacco flavoring. while it does excrete a little bit of nicotine, it would probably be best to mix your own nicotine solution into it...unless you're looking for an extremely low dose of nicotine.

there you have it folks. 6-12 months worth of smoking for under 20 dollars. (e-cig supplies not included )

Now that i think about...i wonder if i could do this with a teabag and start inhaling caffeine and mix it into my nicotine.

This one sounds interesting. Worth a shot given how easy it is.

Whats the shelf life of snus?

[KoS]

Not shure about the shelf lif but they do keep it cold in the store

I keep getting coupons for those things. Might as well try it. The teabag idea sounds really good. Like drop a pg tips in there and there you go.

I did sort of the same thing with Bugler tobacco, and Glycerine+water. I used a spice jar, and filled it 1/4 with glycerine and water....no precise measurements, just mixed it til it looked like the consistency of e-liquid. then jammed in loose tobacco til the it was at the same level as the liquid. Soaked the jar in a pot of hot hot hot water for about 1/2 hour, and left it til the next day. Results....very dark brown liquid, little flavour, but decent nicotine amounts, and lots o' vape! ...I use a clean cigarette filter on the end of a cart filling syringe to draw up the liquid. (it looks illicit, I know, just don't do it at work or in the car ) and dripped it.

I'll try it again one day with fresh liquid and the tobacco absolute I ordered today and see what happens......like, hit the floor.

Thanks for sharing Crazy! Might do some experimenting with this myself. Easy method and directions....just what I like!

How about giving this a try.
Make your eliquid, and add ground to a fine powder coffee and powdered creamer. Filter then smoke. Does it taste like coffee with milk?
Let me know, because every coffee flavor out there tastes like coffe bean, and I drink coffee with milk.

Definitely good to know. Never can tell about the difficulty of getting juice in the future.

What is described is good, but the nicotine estimate is likely way off. A single Camel snus has about 6mg of nicotine. In the mouth, less than 2mg will be absorbed in an hour. I'm sure the shot glass had more than 1ml of liquid, so there's just no way you got more nic than the snus contained. 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.
