home made liquid

Dont try it... i made it with 70% of PG and 30% of VG, then i have added just 3 ml (3%) of filtered tobacco (5 cigarettes) in alcohol. Well, 3 atomizer out in 3 minutes!!! Without the "juice of filtered tobacco", tons of vapor for many hours! But with the added "juice of tobacco macerated in alcohol" , 3 atomizers out in 3 minutes!!! Well, I have tried to add this juice to a premanifactured liquid. The same! Atomizer dead in few seconds!

I've been vaping the liquid from tobacco and coffee grounds soaked in vodka and glygerine for a couple of days now, seems to work ok, no atomiser issues so far, touch wood.

Alcohol burned to hot is what I guess. I soaked some tobacco in pg and used it and it did not cause a problem. I use it for flavoring.

Hi Sergio, I can't work out how to link so I copy-paster from my earlier post...

I took a 95ml former mouthwash bottle (no idea what that is in real money, not big, not tiny) and stuffed it halfway full with coarse shag (haha) RYO tobacco. I wet that down with about 10ml vodka and let it sit for an hour or two.
Stuff was leeching out into the vodka so I topped it up with about 50ml VG and let that sit for 24 hours, giving it a shake occasionally.
After that time had a straw coloured liquid that smelled tobaccoey and was pretty much e-liquid consistency. I drew a few drops off with a syringe and gave it a vape. I got a fairly good tobacco flavour, loads of vape but it tasted a bit 'organic' if you catch my drift. In went a few drops of vanilla essence and a few drops of rum flavouring.
So while it had been sitting all day I had been thinking that nothing goes quite as well with tobacco as a coffee (apart from single malt but there's no way I'm vaping Laphroaig) so into the bottle went another good 5 rollies worth of baccy and a big spoon of coarse ground Java. I topped up the bottle to about 90ml with VG and let it sit again, for another 24 hours. Shake, shake, sit, sit.
When I got home from work and opened it up and had a sniff I nearly passed out from bliss. I filtered it through a coffee filter paper, then squeezed the rest out from the solids though a cotton wool bung'd syringe.
The results - 70ml of strongly flavoured liquid, dark like cola, tastes yummy, appreciable throat hit if taken in a long slow hit with a little air through the corner of the mouth. I cant imagine it has a very high nicotine content but I can see this being a highly sessionable liquid for in the evening - it tastes great, produces lots of vapour and is very satisfying. It's likely to become my liquid of choice for when I'm sat in front of the computer with a passthrough and vaping frequently.

Hope this helps, good luck!
