    That Elusive Smokey Flavor

    Been there, done that. I have extracted several tobaccos and none seem to replicate that smokey flavor like this does. Your method, while it seems like it works flavor wise, might just introduce some of those carcinogens and other dangerous chemicals that we are all trying to give up by quitting...

    That Elusive Smokey Flavor

    I have been thinking of using a vacuum pump to "smoke" the cigarettes for me by connecting it to the holder:) And just a note, in order to get the equivalent of 10 cigarettes, you will need to start with 18-20. The device will only catch 50% or so of the residue..

    That Elusive Smokey Flavor

    I used cold Isopropyl alcohol to dissolve the paste, added twice the amount of pg and evaporated the alcohol. Wound up with 6 ml of flavored pg containing residue from the equivalent of 10 cigarettes. I used 1 drop of that flavor per ml of base. I need to add, that is not an ordinary cigarette...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    That was exactly my thought. I vape only 2 - 3 ml's a day, so I am set for several week's supply. By then I should have completely forgotten the cigs.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    ....... :) I was hoping no one would notice. Unfortunately I do maybe 4-5 a day. But it's not that bad since I use a special device that essentially removes much of the tar before it reaches my mouth. I think it's called a "Tar Guard"...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Yes I do have some reservations about inhaling residue from burnt tobacco. As I already mentioned in that thread, each ml of liquid contains approximately 8% of resins from a single cigarette. Problem is, the flavor is too good to ignore ....

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Yes I have tried extracting fire cured tobaccos with ethanol. Although they have somewhat of a smokey taste, there is no comparison with the burnt flavor of cigarettes I am getting from my experiment.

    That Elusive Smokey Flavor

    I have already tried FA Black Fire and it is quite good at low % as you mentioned above. It reminds me more of hickory flavor than a cigarette.

    That Elusive Smokey Flavor

    I ran a crazy experiment looking for that burning/smokey flavor of cigarettes. The method I used is not very practical, but I am hoping someone will come up with a better idea to imrove the process. Here is what I did: I collected some of the paste that accumulates inside of a cigarette holder...

    What is your way of steeping large batches?

    It is not a good idea to leave your caps off for a long time, but flavor molecules definitely need some air to fully develop. Filling your bottle to the very top will cut off that needed air supply.

    What is your way of steeping large batches?

    Seed steeping has done wonders for me as well. My particular tobacco flavor takes at least 4 weeks to develop by itself. Seeding has cut that time to at least a third. Air by itself is also a great help in steeping. To help things along, I use a milk frother to shake things up a few times. It...

    Curious to know How long you stayed on zero nicotine and what made you start again.

    If nicotine is not addictive, then why don't we all switch to 0mg just to see if it works.... I personally tried and couldn't make it - a sample of one. My case might be different however, since I used to be a smoker. Be interesting to see what would happen if I was not a smoker and started vaping.

    Read this! Dr Michael Mosley. Not hooked!

    Sorry to disagree with almost everyone in this thread, but Dr. Moseley's report is neither scientific, nor objective. He takes a sample of one and draws conclusions about a whole population. How un-scientific... He clearly has a gig of his own as we all do. Reminds me of some doctors who take an...

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    Has anyone contacted FastTech for support lately? I did so 6 days ago regarding some missing o-rings, and they have totally remained silent.
