    Cold maceration of tobacco

    Not that I'm aware of. I have quit using the 11 micron and do the first pass through 6 micron paper. Of course, this comes after removing the bulk tobacco by passing through a mesh strainer. Different flow rates through the 6 and 2.5 micron papers would make stacking a bit perilous IMO...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    I've extracted an English blend that I like more than London; Milan Centenary. Help me figure out a blend to approximate Louisville and I'll share it generously!:D Tonight I'm vaping Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman. " This blend features a mixture of premium bright and red Virginias...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    I've tried several artibaccos with little success. Most bear little or no resemblance to tobacco and many are down-right nasty! I have to chuckle when a noob drops in this thread and raves about a tooty-fruity artibacco from an obscure vendor! They can keep em!

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    I hear ya! I can count all the non-tobacco juices I've ordered on one hand. I'm sure some of the good NET vendors have some good non-tobacco offerings but you couldn't prove it by me!

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Suppliers with a bunch of small diameter attys are definitely groaning now! I'm perfectly happy with the hardware I have and you've got me wanting an Odin!

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    That drink mix tastes like a spiced hot chocolate with the spices replacing the chocolate. Nice winter, before bed drink. Jerms cursed me previously for mentioning the spice connection I get in SC! If you have MOV's Chai Tea Latte, try em back to back and you'll see what I'm talking about.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Vaping Sutliff Burley Delight 212 tonight, which I heat extracted last year. This is still the closest I have gotten to W2V Louisville, having some of the taste but not the intensity. If anyone has any suggestions for a blend more like Louisville, I'd love to extract it!

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    There is a common spice flavor in Smooth Criminal and MOVs Chai Tea Latte. I don't know which spice or combination of spices it is, but it's there. It's also in the Mystic Chai Spiced Tea mix that my wife gets at Sam's Club and that has a list of ingredients on the label including cinnamon...

    Slow Cooker Extraction of Tobacco and Tea

    Billy Budd is definitely a Lat bomb with Maduro. Strong pouch aroma and lots of flavor.

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    Paul, I use a wire mesh strainer to remove bulk tobacco and get it out of the way for filtering. It seems to take about as long for extract to flow through coffee filters as it takes to flow through a lab filter that will remove more particulates so I quit using coffee filters. If a filter...

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    It should be a hundred filters that size for $12. Mine are 15 cm and cost around $17 for 100. That media flows slowly enough it will definitely add a little press time to your filtering. I have, however, always allowed gravity to do the work so YMMV. I vaped your Sunset Rum last night and...

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    My latest extractions, filtered to 2.5 microns are definitely cleaner than my previous extractions filtered to 6 microns. If I vape my KGD wicks almost dry, the cotton turns back to nearly white.

    Slow Cooker Extraction of Tobacco and Tea

    I'm really liking my Billy Budd extraction. It is Latakia rich making it smokey with a little spice followed by the deep, smooth, creaminess of Maduro cigar leaf. The blend is rated as full flavored and it translates well to vaping. ETA: I have C & D Bayou Night, also full flavored, soaking...

    Sorry to hear about your dog Cathy. Hope brewing up some more good extracts gives you a smile or two.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    I agree. Once you find the microcoil combination that works for you, it is the least fiddly setup and most dependable flavor producer. My eyesight is bad enough I usually have to use some magnification but can still completely rebuild in less than 5 minutes. Dry burning and rewicking take a...

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Works fine, you just have to drip more often so I use a Reo when out and about. I prefer not having a lot of overheated juice around coils and since I vape NETs and only run 2 atomizers in a day, I dry burn and rewick daily.

    Very short wick, threaded through a micro. Plenty of pics throughout this thread.

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Using the Super X method of wicking my micros, I'm still on my second pad since the end of March! Gave away half of my box and still have enough to last a very long time. If anyone would like some sterile rolled cotton, I have at least 90% of a box left.
