    BE CAREFUL! The mix you made with water only could be growing mold or bacteria or both! This is a REALLY GREAT IDEA! We can mix the Vinegar/VG and Water/VG together at a ratio that you might not taste the vinegar. Thanks for your input! You have some really great ideas! Pete

    In my opinion it might be better to have the container sealed. It locks in the water vapor or steam which is actually the solvent we are using. This allows for the solvent to work longer on the tobacco, it doesn't steam away. I think this is a great idea. It is kind of like making soup in my...

    Okay...Another experiment. Tona brought up a really good point. What happens to the VG during this process? This time I am using the following mixes as my extraction medium: Mix #1 Vinegar 4ml Water 6ml VG 40ml Mix #2 Water 10ml VG 40 ml Mix #3 VG 20ml Mix #3 will be just plain VG without...

    I'm not sure, I didn't really check too much during the process last time. The bottles were submerged in the hot water and hard to get to without either burning my fingers or getting my oven mitt wet with the hot water. I'm sure it did in fact take a lot longer than your liquid though. The Crock...

    Geez!

    Add 2 drops per 5ml of vinegar or lemon juice to your mix. I agree with AzPlumber about the water. Lose the water. Let the juice steep for at least a day maybe longer. Good luck! Pete

    I agree with you to a point. The traditional way to make tinctures is with alcohol and they are good and some taste great. Alcohol tinctures have been made for thousands of years. Purified vegetable glycerin is a rather recent invention. Our forefathers couldn't produce tinctures from vegetable...

    Just another thought... A lot of people mistakenly use the word essence to describe an extraction. An essence is produced using a very specific process that removes the water from plant material and leaves you with the oil of the plant. Essence is a VERY EXPENSIVE product. It might take...

    Just an aside first... Four years ago I would have been called "clevelandpete"! I was born, raised and lived in the Cleveland area most of my life. No wonder we are always posting on top of each other! Great minds think alike! Go Browns, Indians, Cavs and Buckeyes! People that are using PGA or...

    Extracting Tobacco Flavoring

    Check out the "impatient newbie" thread in the Tobacco Extraction Forum above. I have done considerable research on how to make tinctures and glycerites. I have photos and explanations of my experiments there. So far everything has turned out great. Pete

    The remaining photos.... Another view of the Crock Pot. The color of the finished product. That is a diet Pepsi in the glass next to the jars. Was I right? Is that not black or what? You guys probably thought I was joking! It does taste really good though! If you click on the photos they...

    Okay...For the life of me I can't figure out how to post large size pics. Let's see how these turn out. If anyone knows how to post large size pics, please inform me in how I should do it. Here's the pics: I used 1 inch long pieces of the bottom cigar for each bottle. The chopped tobacco...

    I read the description. Was there something you wanted me to know in particular about the description? Was it about the trace amount of nicotine? I'll post my pics in the next post. Pete

    Tona, I took photos of the entire process. I haven't posted them because I was lazy. Seeing how you asked so nicely, I will work to post them a little later. The color is black like Coke or black coffee. All of them are the same black color. I'm hoping that more heat will reduce the time it...

    Okay... I have 3 versions of RY4 mixed. Each mix is 5ml. The only difference in each mix is the level of the tobacco extraction I added to each mix. I used the following amounts of tobacco extraction in each mix: 8 drops 16 drops 24 drops The tobacco extraction really colors the mix. I am...

    On the contrary. Perhaps I didn't explain myself all that well. I thought if I told you that it was the color of black coffee you would expect it to be VERY strong and harsh, but it wasn't overly strong or harsh. Hmmm...I'm having a tough time describing this. The extraction tastes very smooth...
