    If I were using the isi for nicotine extraction I would likely be exposing the interior to kerosene, naphtha and HCl. I would never ever even think of using the isi for any food application after that. Flavour extraction is a different and less carcinogenic story obviously, and i will likely be...

    A few tobacco extraction experments

    It's good that you feel scared, actually I should have emphasized a couple things: IF YOU HAVE NO LAB EXPERIENCE, DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH ANY OF THE CHEMICALS USED, DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU LACK PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT, DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU WANT A QUICK AND EASY EXTRACTION, DO...

    A few tobacco extraction experments

    I didn't want to start a new thread about this, as this one looks to have gotten some good attention from scientific people. I recently came across a process detailing a pretty rigorous acid-base extraction of nicotine yielding near-pure nicotine crystals. Obviously the purer the crystals the...

    Wow that's a great idea! I have one of those isi canisters lying around for making whipped brain every once in a while, if you catch my drift ;) But it makes sense that increased pressure speed diffusion of flavours into solution, I'm sure CO2 would work the same. And you don't have to waste...

(Hotter usually means thicker, more flavourful but too hot...

    Hey i'm a noob to the scene myself and was planning on making my own 510 usb passthrough from radioshack parts. I was thinking just purchasing a passthrough would save me some time and effort, however I don't wanna shell out the bucks for a 5V passthrough and am afraid that lower voltages won't...

    Canadian vaper getting into the scene!

    Also I forgot to ask, how many posts before I'm allowed on the liquid nicotine extraction board? Thats actually what interests me the most about this site, as information regarding nic extraction is sparse and unreliable on the internets.
