    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    Tried cold extraction using VG this time, not as effective as PG. Cold extracting is just mixing PG/VG with the tobacco, stirring then straining. The PG turned out a light gold color, but the VG came out almost clear without much flavor (pic). A great method I found for filtering extract: I...

    Attempting a cigar extraction

    I just did some PTE and Cigar extractions myself, couple with PG and one with VG so far. I ended up using real pipe tobacco which was one of my favorite brands, not cig tobacco sold as pipe tobacco. The real PTE extract taste really good but it makes my atties sluggish, a day of vaping on a new...

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    It seems that pipe tobacco even though it tastes good as an extract is a too thick even at 5% recipes. Made the atty I just rebuilt a little sluggish. Probably the additives plus the fermentation process. The cigar extract on the other hand seems great, isn't thick at all and is a nice clear...

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    Just got done with another extraction except using VG because I can't handle very much PG. Much thicker to deal with but by popping the nipple off one of 10ml bottles and filling it with the pressed juices, then took a small chunk of cotton and jammed it in the bottom side of the nipple, placed...

    Wick and Coil Tips and Tricks.

    2 months, I would at least replace the coil. If it's starting to taste like metal and it wasn't before, I imagine your mesh wick is gunked up so bad it's not wicking enough juice and it's over heating. Just my 2 cent.

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    I've tried every type of wick out there, cotton is my favorite for vapor production and flavor. Since you are going with ss mesh make sure you test it on something with short circuit protection otherwise you can easily burn your battery because you will have shorts while learning ss mesh.

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    It adds up fast, with buying kanthal in 100 ft. spool and a pack of cheese cloth it cost about 3 cents to rebuild rewick/coil each atty.

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    Since you're going to be using the vivi nova I would suggest at least using 32 awg. There isn't much space to work with in a vivi nova atty so smaller gauge is easier, I use 33 awg because of that reason. The price range isn't much of a difference really, so I'd spend the extra couple bucks and...

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    I think you are looking at it a little wrong. I'll try to help. The thinner the wire the higher the ohm's per foot. Has everything to do with the length of wire used in making your coil, more wire used the higher the ohms. The only reason more wraps make higher ohm's is more wraps equals longer...

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    I made a couple extracts, one from a favorite cigar brand and the other a favorite pipe tobacco blend. For each extract I used about a pipe full of tobacco. Chopped up, put in shot glass and added an equal amount of PG, stuck in the microwave for 4 seconds (thats all it takes) to reach tea...

    I tried my pipe tobacco blend again after it sat for a couple days and it taste great. Freshly mixed the flavor was muted with the pipe tobacco extract but now tastes just how I imagined.

    You can make one pretty easily or you can go to the hardware store and find something. I've been thinking of making a hard plastic washer to replace the silicone because the silicone expands.

    Wizard Labs- Your Favorite Flavors

    It's not as strong flavored as it looks, about like using any other flavor. I've been playing with how much to use still, used about 5-10% in my mixes. There is about 7mg in a ciggerette in a cig if I am right. I used about a cigs worth of tobacco, came up with about 3ml of extract. So 2mg per...

    Yup, same thing as the coffee. Chopped up about 1 inch of cigar in shot glass, added equal amount of PG. Stuck it in the microwave for 4 seconds. Then pressed out the juice with a spoon, then filtered juice through a Q-tip by sucking it up with a pipette. Same thing with the pipe tobacco. Green...

    Wizard Labs- Your Favorite Flavors

    I did some tobacco extractions last night and today. I am trying to avoid tobacco extracts, but I figured I'd use it as a treat once in a great while. One was a favorite cigar, the other was a favorite pipe tobacco. Just took apart, cleaned, and recoil/rewicked one of my mini nova tanks. Am...

    I mixed a couple different juices just for kicks today and got something quite tasty. I mixed it in thirds, one part bee's knees pipe tobacco, one part tropic spice, one part blueberry flue. I think I am going to have to tweek and hatch out another more complicated recipe because it's yummy.
