    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    To me regular Cavendish has a mild taste, but Kentucky Cavendish might be different. The cigar sounds promising.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Patriot does change a bit after three months, but not drastically. It just matures into something more smooth and pleasant. From the description on the website, these are the three ingredients : Louisiana Perique, Virginia Burley, and Kentucky Cavendish. I am still trying to solve the mystery...

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I have been using Patriot for a long time and it gets better each day that goes by. It is one of the more authentic tobaccos I have ever tried - more bite than others, and a tiny amount of cigar flavor. It is a blend of at least three different tobaccos- Virginia, Perique and one more ingredient...

    You can always take you centrifuge to the north pole.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Can't believe I am getting away with only one filter in the entire process.... So many different ways to go.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I rolled up a joint today with virginia cavendish. Didn't like it as a cig, but maybe different in a pipe. I do like the joint I rolled up with Virginia Flue cured - a dry leaf. I need to quit while I am ahead.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    you are right - strictly unflavored cigarette as might be expected from dry leaves. You might add a bit of Perique to the mix. It will add a touch of fruit-chocolate quality to the vape - similar to "Speaking Spirit" or "NS Dark", two flavors from Net.com - if you have ever tried them.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I suspect the problem lies not only with the filter dust, but also with its pore size. It let through a lot of fine residue in some of my extracts. I want my money back :shock:

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I see no bubbles in those two pictures. In my particular case, the cloudiness does not go away with time.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I have had the exact same cloudiness with my last 4 or 5 extractions. And it doesn't matter which tobacco I use - Nightcap, Louisiana Red, Virginia Flue cured - or which alcohol - Ethanol or Isopropyl ... I initially thought the curl-pit was too much heat, or too long a soak, or perhaps the ISO...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Pipe tobacco is often laced with flavors - casings they are called I believe. I personally like straight tobaccos without any casings. LeafOnly has a good selection of straight tobaccos but they don't carry Latakia.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Hi everyone, I am looking for Latakia dry leaves, not pipe tobacco. Does anyone have a good source?

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Just got back from Hobby Lobby and got everything I needed at half price. Thank you for the tip.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    That makes sense except I am getting a plastic taste from one of my extracts - even though I lined the plastic cap with aluminum foil ... The problem might lie somewhere else though.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Yes I did filter the Isopropyl, but not the conventional way. Transferred the unfiltered extract out of the crockpot to the freezer and let the residue settle at the bottom for 48 hours. Skimmed off the top, and filtered the result. I feel that is all the filtering we need - let gravity do the...

    I can attest to that one. I thought I was vaping concentrates when I tried one of Danny's vapes !!

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I know from cooking that oil rises to the top as the food cools down.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Is there any benefit to filtering the extract at room temperature?. Waxes and oils might cling better to the filter while they solid/cold.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I did an extraction using Isopropyl Alcohol, and unlike our beloved friend who wound up at the morgue with a number around his toe, I managed to survive. The flavor is solid, and there is no after-taste at all. I did notice a tiny bit of flat flavor as earlier mentioned by str8vision, but I...
