The impatient newbie strikes again...tobacco extract

Before I read Pete's post I'd started a second extraction (the first, as I've posted tasted great, but dilution was impossible) and gave it a try last night. Awesome Thinking it would be dilute like the last one, I mixed it half extract and half 36mg nic base...too strong! Tasty, but it gives me hope that this could indeed be used as a flavoring rather than a flavored base.

Unfortunately, I wasn't very scientific..no measurements, but here's what I did.

I put loose Gambler light tobacco (my smoke of choice before I started vaping) in a baby food jar and packed it fairly tight. I then added as much vg as I could, using a coffee straw to loosen the tobacco a bit and allow the vg to get to the bottom...added more vg, then added a bit of 151 vodka and stirred and poked until all tobacco was saturated and no more liquid could be added to the jar.

I boiled a pan of water and turned off the heat. Put the sealed jar in the water, put the pan lid on and left it. About an hour later, I remembered I had a tiny crock pot..it's for dips and fondues (part of a set and I've never used it). I found it, put the jar in with enough water to come just to the bottom of the jar lid, and plugged it in. It got quite hot, but not boiling. The lid on this pot is plastic and showed no signs of melting. I let it go for maybe 3 hrs and turned it off, then put it back in my sunny window sill to set for ????????

The next day I read Pete's post about doing something really similar (but wisely with more of a method to his madness) and last night decided to give it a taste. Strangely there was a bit of room in the jar (evaporation? breakdown of the tobacco? I don't know) so I squirted a bit of vinegar in there (can't hurt right?) got some cotton and a syringe and pulled out about 1 1/2 ml....added 1 1/2 ml of 36 mg base (I normally vape around 24 mg so 18mg+ whatever might be in the extract would be fine for me) and tasted..

This to me is all so promising. I was left with that familiar tobacco taste...which I honestly wouldn't want all the time, but on occasion? Heaven
