    Herbal Extract E-Juice!

    It is all cool. It is just like a bad flu. Just dangerous for children and old people.

    Herbal Extract E-Juice!

    Nice. This is great fun. I got swine flu and have not been up for any vaping for the last few days, but I am on the mend now and will continue to play with stuff when I feel a bit better. You should get your friend involved. It is very interesting concepts. Something strange that I have found...

    Herbal Extract E-Juice!

    That is a really interesting idea, but I doubt it would work, at least with Kava powder, and unless I grow it myself, I cannot get the root to soak. The powder (as you probably know) settles very quickly (parting itself from the water). Straining out this powder would also take out the...

    Minimum Amount of PG/GC in e-liquid

    Well 50% VG worked well. My next test will be 40% VG, 55% tincture and 5% flavoring. I can almost tell you with certainty that this will probably not be healthy for the atomizer though.

    Minimum Amount of PG/GC in e-liquid

    I am VERY sorry, CG was what I thought the acronym for Glycerin, but it is actually VG (vegetable glycerin) Please see this thread for more info: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/34203-herbal-extract-e-juice.html "...Point being that a large amount of residue after...

    Minimum Amount of PG/GC in e-liquid

    It is just herbal extract that has been smoked since the pyramids, longer than tobacco has been smoked. I successfully made a 50% VG, 45% Blue Lotus extract, 5% cherry brandy essence and it worked a treat. :) I have suspicions as to if it is good for my atomizer or not.

    I have some echinacea tincture that could do that too! Imagine, a box of cartridges, one for every medicinal ailment to assist good health.

    I love doing this stuff. I have a ton of herbs to play around with. :)

    Herbal Extract E-Juice!

    My thoughts exactly. Make sure you are not allergic to the herb too! This is important. A way that I heard of this being done is to scratch your arm somewhere (almost to bleeding) and rub the herb into it. If it swells up, most likely you are allergic to it. I am not sure if that is true, but it...

    But with this much vapor (and very little cost) why not just keep dripping to the cartridge if it stops vaping as well as you want it to?

    Herbal Extract E-Juice!

    So: 30% VG 65% Blue Lotus Extract (40%) 5% Cherry Brandy Essence? If that would work (and would not kill the atomizer) this stuff could get someone high.... EDIT: Plus, please explain to me what you mean by "wick as well".

    Herbal Extract E-Juice!

    Just because I love you guys I decided to give a present to you; experiment number two: Experiment 2: Blue Lotus Extract (Nymphaea caerulea) 50% Glycerin 45% Blue Lotus Tincture (at 40%) 5% Cherry Brandy Essence (to cover up the horrid taste of the lotus extract) Results: I have lots of...

    Herbal Extract E-Juice!

    Interesting... I am sure that will make the atomizer heat up quickly. Thanks for the tip Fredrick.

    Herbal Extract E-Juice!

    Well I do many of my tinctures now days are at 50%. 50% alcohol is best for most herbs I find. It all depends on the herb and how the active ingredients are best absorbed. *hint* Maybe you could stick the tincture in the microwave for a short period of time after it is ready? The flavor can...
