    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Hurray!!! It worked! I couldn't wait any longer. I turned the Crock Pot off at about 6PM and let it cool a bit. The extracts had been cooking for about 22 hours at that point. I then strained the tobacco extract from each of the 3 bottles and re-bottled them. The color of the extract is like...

    EM can be harsh!!

    You need to read the "vinegar thread that is posted here in the DIY forum. You should be adding 2 drops per 5ml of some sort of acid to each of your mixes. You could use Lemon Juice, Lime Juice, Malic Acid or Vinegar. It will improve the flavor of the juice and also make your juice hold its...

    Red Man Gold Blend extraction

    Thanks! I'm getting a little antsy with my extraction. I was going to cook it for 3 days but I think I'm going to turn it off at 6PM EST and allow it to cool down so I can try some later tonight. At 6PM it will have been cooking for about 22 hours. When I checked it earlier today it was the...

    What kind and where do u guys get your plastic or glass bottles?

    I agree with canoeist. That's where I buy mine. Just make sure you buy natural colored bottles so you can see through them. Their sizes are listed in cc but cc = ml. Good luck! Pete

    Red Man Gold Blend extraction

    Read the impatient newbie thread. I am in the middle of my experiment as we speak. I have done some research and the nicotine levels shouldn't be very high. You may actually need to add nic to your extraction. If you read the impatient newbie thread, from the research I have done, you should...

    Make your own juice.

    Check the dates on these posts. Most were posted before we understood much about the extraction process. We now know that using a typical DIY process results in very little nicotine in the final extracted product. At least not the dangerous levels alluded to in some of the earlier posts on the...

    I stopped in at my local cigar store yesterday. I talked to the manager and explained that I didn't know much about cigars but would like to purchase 1 mild cigar and 1 with more flavor. I told him perhaps something that seems to be popular. So I purchased 2 cigars for about $6.50 USD each. I...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Okay...I did some research today. People have been making these "tinctures" for a very long time, for at least hundreds and perhaps thousands of years. They traditionally have been made using either an alcohol/water mixture or by using vinegar. VG is rather new to the scene and has only become...

    I stopped using analogs about 3 weeks after I started vaping. But I do know that I'm missing something from vaping that I was getting from using analogs. I have several friends at work that vape. I am the only one that quit the analog habit completely. My friends still use some analogs every...

    Wow! Wow! Wow! Here we go again! You guys are NOT going to believe this! You remember back on the vinegar thread when I mentioned that I tasted a vinegar taste in a top shelf juice that disappeared after a few days? That was the reason I started the vinegar thread in the first place...

    First extraction tastes like black tea and crap

    I think some type of additives are used in all tobaccos. I think they start with spraying the plants shortly after they are harvested to help with the drying/curing before it even moves to the processing plant. Pete

    Tona, Just a tip if I may... I don't use any EM in my TA dilution. I just dilute 2 drops of Tobacco Absolute into 10ml of PG. You don't need to add the Ethyl Maltol to the mixture at that point. I just add EM to each juice as I mix them as needed. Good luck! Pete

    Wow Tona, when you start a new hobby you just jump right in with both feet! I have been busy working with the acids from the vinegar thread. I think I have a pretty good handle on how they work now and how they effect the flavor when added to my juice. So now on to my next...

    Just a little thought for storing nic that comes in plastic bottles

    Nicotine, PG and VG won't freeze solid in a normal residential freezer so you don't have to worry about them cracking glass bottles. They will however thicken at those temperatures and may need to be warmed a bit before you plan on using them in your mix. Pete

    After mucho reading.... I'm in. HELP!

    Great job! You should have everything you need! One tip if I may: Paint the outside graduations of your syringes with some fast drying clear nail polish as soon as you get them. They will then last for a really long time. If you don't paint them with the nail polish the graduations will wear...

    Just a little thought for storing nic that comes in plastic bottles

    I don't really think you need colored or darkened glass bottles if you are storing it in the freezer. The light does turn off when you close the door. It would probably be pretty dark in there without the light bulb on. Just my humble opinion. Pete

    Vinegar?

    I agree with you Tona, we have a saying here in the USA: "Figures lie and liars figure." It means the numbers are not always correct and can be interpenetrated in different ways. I'm sorry I was also standing on my soapbox. I just get depressed when after all the work we did researching and...

    A little help here!!!

    Okay...First things first. Menthols and RY4s are pretty tough to make right out of the gate. People spend months perfecting their recipes. Okay...Tasting soap? Try vaping your base without any flavorings. It should taste like......nothing. If that tastes like soap you may have a problem with...
