    Diluting citric acid in PG

    1/2 teaspoon into 10ml of PG should yield an approximately 20% solution. You would then use about 2 drops per 5ml of juice. Good luck! Pete

    Vinegar and Tobacco Bases?

    I would suggest 2 drops of vinegar per 5ml of juice. You won't even taste it at this level but it will enhance the flavor and extend the life of your juice. Good luck! Pete

    I think Cyrus Vap mentioned that he boiled most of the water off his mix and then added VG and slowly simmered the VG/Water mixture until most of the water had boiled off. The VG has a much higher boiling temperature than water so the water will boil off first. He did this on a stove, and the...

    Bostonsnboxers, I just meant that I really didn't find any information outside the ECF concerning the use of PG as an extraction medium. I really did not mean to offend you and sincerely apologize if I did. Some of the things happening here on the ECF are cutting edge and haven't really been...

    There are several different thoughts on how the extraction process should work. I have done a considerable amount of research on the subject and this is what I have found: Alcohol, Vinegar and Water These are the traditional liquids/solvents used to extract flavors and properties from plants...

    The water is a better solvent than the VG. It helps the extraction process. Pete

    Danno, I was just referring to my actual experience. This is just speculation on my part, but I think my bank doesn't like the Dwolla concept. I mean why would they? Dwolla is taking money from my bank's bottom line. If I buy from you using Dwolla it costs you either ZERO or TWENTY-FIVE CENTS...

    It took me about a week to set-up a Dwolla account. (It is worth it though!) First you need bank account verification. (2 to 3 business days) Then you need to transfer money from your bank account into your Dwolla account. (3 to 5 business days) Then you can spend your money without giving a...

    Dwolla is awesome! We all need to set up Dwolla accounts. Dwolla is an end run around credit card companies and Prey Pal, currently the only way to pay for items on the internet. Credit card companies and Prey Pal rape the small mom and pop stores worldwide for whatever charges and fees they...

    What have we learned?

    Use 2 drops of one of the acids per 5ml of juice. It enhances the flavor and extends the life expectancy of your juice. It really doesn't matter which acid you use, just that you do use one of them in each of your mixes. The acids are Lemon Juice (citric acid), Malic Acid, Tartaric Acid and...

    Oh...That would take all the fun out of it! Just think.... You wouldn't have to struggle with the 5 different kinds of caramel and 4 different kinds of vanilla, let alone all the different ratios and combinations you could come up with! Just think of all that lost anxiety waiting for the...

    Yeah, I was surprised at how little vapor was produced considering that my extract was at least 80% VG. Now you need to do like Bostonsnboxers and I did, flavor one of your mixes with a bit of the extraction. It will knock your socks off! I like that you are using a different process to your...

    Was this the extract you made with your Crock Pot? What color did your extraction turn out to be? Isn't this cool? It really works! I am so glad it worked for you! Pete

    Nic color and taste

    Nicotine stored in the freezer probably would last for several years. There really isn't anything to "go bad" in the nicotine mixture. It may however lose a bit of its potency over time but nothing to worry about. The color change you are noticing is caused by oxidation. What you might want to...

    Okay...A short update. I stopped cooking the #2 extraction after 48 hours. I let it cool a bit and am now starting the filtering process. A couple of observations of the #2 extraction: Wow, when you start out with 50ml instead of 90ml there is a big difference in the final product quantity. I...

    Throat Hit with zero nic ?

    Start with adding some Vodka of at least 100 proof or above. Add 2 drops per 5ml to start with. You can always add more if needed. Don't worry, it won't taste like Vodka at these levels. Good luck! Pete

    I also was thinking about using a tea strainer. After pouring the mix with the solids into the tea strainer, fabricating and using some sort of plunger to press the tobacco solids into the bottom of the strainer? Then use a coffee filter to filter a second time. Here's a tip I learned from...

    I wish we could come up with a better way to filter the extraction. I'm with you guys, the coffee filter method is a mess and takes forever. It works, but could definitely use some improvement. Pete
