    Goodejuice revisited...question about the NET tobaccos?

    I haven't used NETS in Kanger or similar tanks - only in kayfuns. NETS perform much better at lower watts. My usual wattage is around 12, but with NETS I usually go down to 7-8 watts. Hope that helps.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I actually try smoking a sample of any tobacco before extracting it. Turkish Blend and Turkish Export from Peter Stokkeby are somewhat similar, but the Export tastes slightly better as a smoke. Could be because it is a "fine shag" - specifically cut for cigarettes.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Definitely sounds like a water problem if you're seeing live creatures in your extraction. Where is the water coming from, vodka, Everclear, or are you adding water yourself?

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    I always thought pg was more dehydrating. Gives me a terrible sore throat/dry mouth. I guess it depends on the individual, but I feel a lot less dehydrated when I limit my pg to 25%. Some people complain vg is too heavy on the lungs.

    Two different size wires, dia, of coil, wraps, but same Ω's

    Has anyone noticed more flavor coming from thinner wires, or am I just imagining? My vape is much sharper and much more crispy with 30 ga than with 28 ga - all other things being equal.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Whichever method you choose, the goal is to maximize the surface area your liquid is exposed to. How do you toast oak anyway, put it in the oven?

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    It turns out alcohol is not needed to work with oak. PG/VG is all you need. This thread shows how: How To: DIY Oak Barrel Reserve

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    It's a good thought !! The only concern is whether oak has any volatile elements inside that may evaporate with heat. The only way to find out is to experiment. It turns out this spiral is only 3 inches long - good for only one use. A small barrel might be a better investment. BTW, I may have...

    For oak flavored liquids, this infusion spiral may be all you need. Just let it soak in your pg for two weeks. Amazon.com: Oak Infusion Spiral Barrel Aged in a Bottle Oak Infusion Spiral, Brown: Kitchen & Dining

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    There is an old thread on the subject of oak flavored tobacco. I will post a link if I manage to find it. As I recall, there are small oak barrels you could buy to soak your liquid. For a smokey taste, I use Flavor Art's Black Fire Tobacco. All it takes is .5%.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Totally confused here ... Which of these two quotes is more accurate? Both cases involve synthetics and vapor.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Do synthetics interact with high proof alcohol or not. One of you said in another thread that they don't, but now I am hearing just the opposite.... So what is the verdict? Some of my extracts came out with a slight plastic taste from the caps on my jars. I emphasize some, not all ....

    How about a big thread for Flavorart

    Cookie has the slightest hint of vanilla and something else - don't know what to call it .... cookie flavor I guess.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    How about using a 80%-20% mixture of ISO and vodka? You will have the benefits of both, and your water content will be 12% (with 80 proof vodka)

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    The more I read on the subject, I am starting to see your point. Someone said near the bottom of the link you posted, that some dehydrating agents can only absorb 25% of their weight in water. Kind of impractical if you're starting with 80 proof. I'd go with Calcium Oxide if possible...

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I am not sure about 11x though, but your guess is as good as mine. I noticed in the video that he only used half the volume of alcohol in sieves. I'd say with 80 proof, you probably would double the amount. Still looking for his vodka video.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Those sieves can hold an awful lot of water. I doubt if you will need that much more with regular vodka. He has another video specifically made for vodka. Having a hard time finding it.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    As I recall from the video, a few hours will do, perhaps overnight. And you can do it with any grade alcohol - not only with 190.
