Sorry if this question has been asked, but I don't have time to read this entire thread.

I have seen many posts where do-it-yourselfers take their soaked tobacco or nicotine liquid and try straining it through a coffee filter as the final step (which I hear is dangerous and difficult due to the globby mess).

But what I have NOT read so far is someone who has tried to wrap the tobacco up FIRST, very tightly into coffee filter(s) teabag(s) BEFORE soaking it in water or alcohol. I would think that this would resolve the problem of the globby mess if you were to wrap up the tobacco extremely tight into a filter beforehand so that the tobacco has no room to expand. After soaking for days or weeks in a sealed container, this should result in water/alcohol that is filled with nicotine and not globby or difficult to mess with. So has anyone tried this method? Anyone willing to give it a whirl?

(This idea seems similar to the soaking snus method, except snus has much less nicotine than actual tobacco, thus many users report hardly any nicotine kick.)

Been tried. It is cleaner, but you still get tea-colored water of unknown nicotine content that tastes like a soggy cigar. Bottom line: Doesn't work.

FYI: Snus can be a powerhouse of nicotine. High-nic snus equal high-nic cigs. And it's cleaner. But, again, unknown nicotine content in the vapor.

I'm going to let it settle and try filter it again. I haven't tried the juice yet, I have no idea how much nicotine is in there.

My next experiment I'm going to use a potato or something.

Are you still with us Kibey?
