    Glycerin USP vs. "food grade"?

    You know pharmacists really know a lot more than doctors about drugs and chemicals. A close friend of mine was studying pharmacology and in the first couple of years I used to write some of his homework papers for him. I've been out of touch with him since he moved to Denver. Maybe he's the...

    a nicotine extraction method

    Each cigarette actually contains between 7 and 24mg of nicotine and delivers between 1 and 2.5mg from smoking. I did a couple more write ups here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/1135-extracting-nicotine-tobacco-4.html and here...

    Dizziness/Spaceyness/Foggy-Headedness

    I must say I experienced my share of this too. I thought it was too much nicotine but further experimentation suggests this may not be true. In my case these strange feelings have been strongly correlated with the alarming panic attacks I began to have. I trust people will know to learn...

    IMPORTANT - email from FDA to a supplier.

    Sadly the FDA is not going to tell anyone how to exploit any loopholes to circumnavigate their intentions. I see no point in playing 20 questions with them. Again, consult an expert. I'm sure there is a way around it. Unfortunately I expect it involves a number of undesirable sacrifices...

    I am sad. I cut some 36mg juice 50/50 with glycerin and vaping it makes me feel yucky. Anyone else have this problem?

    Again, please check the label. If it says for external use you shouldn't be using it here. The glycerin I've seen on the shelf in most of the grocery stores in the pharmacy section is like that. If you think you might not have the right stuff consider going to a craft store or a brew shop to...

    Nicotine Extraction Experiment

    Your conclusion about a simple water extraction of nicotine from the patch as a way to avoid some of the other crap seems reasonable in theory as a starting point. Although you have a known quantity of nicotine, I doubt you are going to be able to leach it all out since the strongest ones which...

    Help with Vanilla??--The Holy Grail Has Finally been Found with HappyVaper

    Well if anyone considers trying the vanillin crystals along with a vanilla extract let me know. If it's in the pure crystal form it seems to me that you can't get any stronger vanilla taste than that. The smell is intoxicating. It occurs to me that if you need to mix a vanilla absolute with...

    Does anybody know where to find tobacco flavored flavoring?

    I wouldn't have a problem mixing it with everclear or high proof vodka because it would be miscable with alcohol as a carrier but it may be that oil and water don't mix well without an emulsifier. It doesn't sound like you've tried alcohol yet. I really wouldn't be too concerned about your...

    Rose DIY

    You need to use dark red and purple blooms with intense perfume. Rose oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It has been suggested that small quantities of oil shouldn't be considered a problem. After all, atomizers are going to die eventually anyway and we are trying to figure out how to...

    Glycerin

    Pay attention to the label. If it says for external use only. DO NOT USE IT! There are too many stories on here about people who pick up some glycerin at their local store or pharmacy who appear to be ignoring this warning, and not enough people on here cautioning them about it. Then they...

    Tobacco Flavorings and Enhancers?

    So I wrote Jim back and told him that members on here had been using the Top Note flavors and some seemed to be reporting favorable results and here was his reply: Dear Jeff, I am a little surprised that they are working. The top notes are mostly flavorings, but still I would think the...

    Rose DIY

    This actually sounds delightful. I had been planning to use rosewater to make some rose wine before my friend sold his store. Much better than trying to extract your own rose petals. He had some blackberry syrup that made the most wonderful wine ever, of course I had to take the sugar into...

    Tobacco Flavorings and Enhancers?

    Just pointing out I was referring to the Tobacco Enhancers, not the Top Note Flavors (as far as I know). Sorry for any confusion! Bear in mind that there is a big difference between ripening raw tobacco to develop natural flavors inherent in the plant matter during the curing process by using...

    Does anybody know where to find tobacco flavored flavoring?

    Just pointing out I was referring to the Tobacco Enhancers, not the Top Note Flavors (as far as I know). Sorry for any confusion! Most flavor additives tested are classified as safe when they enter the human body through the ingestion of food and not through inhalation. Tobacco flavor...

    Does anybody know where to find tobacco flavored flavoring?

    See my post here in the original thread where they were discussing the tobacco flavor enhancers. My position is that (a) the tobacco flavor enhancers are not used in commercial e-liquid and (b) they contain no actual tobacco flavoring and (c) they may contain or produce hazardous chemicals. I...
