    The granules in the video are called molecular sieves - size 3A. Available here: Molecular Sieve 3A Reagent 500g | eBay

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    If Damp Rid is made from Calcium Oxide, it might possibly work but I am not sure. Someone mentioned it in another forum. It reportedly absorbs only water - not alcohol, but I still would be concerned about a possible reaction. Isn't calcium oxide also known as lime or quick lime? The video also...

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    For those who don't have access to 190 proof, here is a possible way to convert regular vodka into higher proof without using a distiller. The only problem is where to find the water-absorbing granules.

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    I looked at the description again and didn't find the word "Virginia" - just Flue Cured. I must have automatically assumed it is VA just because of the word association with flue cured. Is there any other variety that is flue cured?

    Would that be the Reddit? That site even has a vaper's corner.

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    For a Marl taste, you'd need Virginia TA. Just got it from Nude nicotine and steeping. Will post the results once I've tried it.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    There is no chemical taste but the flavor is definitely different from PGA. So is the color, it is somewhat lighter.

    I have a couple of NET extracts from Nude Nicotine steeping right now - Virginia and Honey Tobacco's. If they turn out to be any good, it will probably save me the trouble of extracting my own.

    Judging from the description, SG 1792 is right up my alley - full flavored mature virginia and dark fired tobacco. What % do you mix it before adding it to Highway?

    That is just what I have been experimenting with mixed results. One winner I found is a combination of S'Camel and Perique extract. 12 drops of Scamel in 10 ml and 2% of Perique. Can't put this stuff down; sooo good. No need for adding other flavors - already has a natural chocolate and caramel...

    Inawera- a few reviews

    Just tried 7Leaves after a two week steep, and didn't notice any chemical taste. But if the flavor doesn't improve over time, I much prefer the Flavor Art's version. That one takes a whole month to develop in full. As to the metallic taste you mentioned, I did not notice it at first, but if you...

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Methanol could definitely be a deadly poison but ISO has been used for a long time for extracting everything from herbs to pharmaceuticals. I recall mentioning that a while back when my local pharmacist said ISO is regularly used by the pharma industry in lipid extractions.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I reduced the ISO to 25% of its original volume and then added an equal or greater amount of pg. Reduced the mixture again to 50%. It is better if you add a bit more pg than the volume of your reduced ISO. That way you won't have to reduce the mixture by exactly 50%. A little less will do. As...

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I have used ISO before, and the taste is OK, but somewhat muted. Might be able to compensate by increasing the flavor. You might like to run a test batch before going ahead with your other option.

    Little to no throat hit..

    Obviously more nic or pg would enhance throat hit, but I was curious which brand of nic would give the best throat hit under identical conditions.

    Little to no throat hit..

    Have you actually tried Vaportek at 3mg to see how it compares EcigExpress? That would be the real test. I am tempted to give the throat hit version of Vapertek a try although I am already satisfied with MyFreedomSmokes. It has a unique "tingly" or "peppery" sensation.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    The reason I chose flue cured is because that is the most common type of tobacco used in American cigarettes. Their level of smokiness is about the same as American Spirit; Bright Leaf has a little less. For a more smoky flavor, Latakia seems to be the choice among many vapes/smokers. My...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    These are the ones I have tried: American Virginia : USA Virginia Flue Cured Tobacco Leaf For Cigarettes, MYO, RYO, Pipe Tobacco, Hookah Tobacco, and more. This particular tobacco comes in different versions. I chose the 2012 version because of its dark color. Some of them also come in organic...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I have tried Organic spirit and like it a lot. Didn't think the Turkish would extract well because of its mild flavor. But I may give it a try now that you mentioned it. How do you compare the two in terms of flavor intensity? If you are into rolling tobaccos, I suggest Bright Leaf Virginia and...
