    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I am not a fan of cigars, but I keep hearing Acid Blondie is a good one for extraction. Ethanol will give you the deepest flavor.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I have tried Perique all by itself, and it ranks among the top for flavor. The good part is, only 4% will give you a real flavorful vape. Sometimes I add 1-2% Virginia as an enhancement. Most people do it the other way - More Virginia and less Perique.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    P&C only carries the pipe version. I buy the RYO version from my local tobacco shop.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    It just proves everyone is different when it comes to taste. I sometimes cheat by rolling a joint, and prefer the RYO version much better. Perhaps that is because they are cut differently - the RYO is cut much finer.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    If you like Turkish 84, you will love Turkish Export. It's specifically made for smoking as a cigarette, instead of pipe. They are similar in profile though.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I like Stokkebye Turkish Export, not so much the Turkish pipe version.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Tobacco leaves usually need time to cure but that probably applies only to smoking. I am not sure if it applies to extractions.

    Interesting news article

    Sorry to say so, but that article is not very credible. It is filled with speculation and guess work.

    Successful 'Hybrids'?..

    I mix FA's Perique or Latakia at 1% or less. Any higher, and I get a pungent taste.

    Successful 'Hybrids'?..

    I have tried both Perique and Latakia, and neither one is a good match with their NET counterparts. The best hybrid I have come up with is a combination of NET added to Hangsen tobaccos. The cleanest so far is 2.2% of Perique extract added to 2.7% Red USA from HS. It tastes great and doesn't...

    Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

    I have tried both and there is Noooo comparison. Love the NET. FA's version is good below 1%, otherwise it becomes too pungent.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I think you will be OK, but if you are concerned about mold, you can ask LeafOnly not to spray the leaves as they usually do before packing them into plastic bags.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    According to their website, some of their leaves might carry a bit of mold. They suggest cutting out the affected portion. I store mine in a plastic bag with some tissue inside to absorb moisture. Have not had a problem after several months of storage.

    Sciatica seems to be an epidemic on this thread. Maybe it's in the stuff we vape !!

    Both Latakia and Perique have a pungent taste at around the 1% mark - but I have only tried the Flavor Art versions. As I understand it, INW borrows some of their flavors from FA.

    I am not getting into semantics with you. That might be the subject for another thread.

    Vaping vs Smoking

    I quickly dismissed it because I had only read the summary of the report unaware there was a section that explained the methodology. I do not however put too much stock in this report - or the OP report - because of their short term nature. One big difference between them is that the OP is a...

    Vaping vs Smoking

    They did not find any threats - short term. And no, I was not referring to yourself in regards to biased attacks. The one that stands out, is the person who interpreted the word "potential" as meaning "impossible" implying that no such possibility exists ..... Absurd !!

    Vaping vs Smoking

    I have no idea what you are referring to. The only article I have defended has been the one in the OP against BIASED attacks. As to putting stock in any report, it is not my nature to accept anything blindly - including the OP. I certainly do not put stock in any report that arbitrarily assigns...
