    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I see... so I shall not do the wasteful experiment with this batch. I'm still making tiny test batches. The one that's running is 0.4 ounce. Not a good candidate for a test. :) Will test once I've found a tobacco worth doing a large batch of. Thanks Str8vision !! :D

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I've been reading about freeze filtering with regards to dual process, reduce before or after etc. As I see it these are the options, after the 12 hours hot extraction and warm filtering: 1- No reduction then Freeze filtering. (This is what I've done until now) 2- Reduction then Freeze...

    I've done a tutorial. I took pictures of every step when I did my last extraction. And written all the instructions below the pics. Was thinking about a PDF document. I could also make a video with a voice over the pictures I took. Almost done with the PDF, will let you know when I'm done. :)

    Hi Dan, I can't seem to find your Youtube channel link anywhere. Probably is right in front of my face and I don't see it. :)

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Reporting back after my experiment with fast ultrasonic/heat extraction. Same steps as usual, only difference was that I replaced the 12 hours in warm bath by a 60 minutes ultrasonic blast and heat. Obviously I was lucky as when I removed the cap of my reagent bottle, some gas exited and the...

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Yeah I've seen it when I removed the bottle cap. Could have been a stronger reaction. Or God knows what if an open flame would have been near. I doubt I'll repeat the experiment in the exact same way. Maybe short ultrasonic bursts or some way of making sure the temperature inside stays below...

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Hello all! I'm new to this thread. Read parts of it. Enough to understand Str8vision's ever evolving method. I think. :) Did my first extraction using heated ethanol. Only step I was not aware of was the newly added soaking period prior to the 12 hrs heat extraction. Oh well. Did a Romeo y...

    TPA: confusing % recommandations?

    Well I guess you can remove this thread or leave it for others as information. I got a reply from TPA in the form of a phone call from Linda at TPA. Wow. Talk about excellent customer service! What she told me is that the max. ppm recommendations listed on TPA's website do come from the...

    TPA: confusing % recommandations?

    Hello, I've been at DIY for almost two years now. In the past I would simply order pre-mixed liquid flavors from TPA, FA etc. and mix them in my bases at 5-10% total flavorings. I like not too much flavors. Recently, with the "diacetyl issue", I've been looking more closely at flavors...

    Stainless Steel mesh, Oxide discussion.

    My friend uses genesis exclusively with SS cable with Ekowool sleeve. He says it wicks almost too fast. Take it for what it is. 2nd hand opinion. But I'd give it a try if I was still a genesis user.

    Stainless Steel mesh, Oxide discussion.

    Agreed on the Ekowool being silica. It's only threaded in a different way. But your point on SS mesh is moth. No disrespect intended. But it's like saying, in the 50s for example: there are tons of folks smoking cigarettes every day. My point is not to say if SS mesh is toxic or not. It is that...

    Wow! Sounds to me you did good and helped. If linking to a great & free tool and a thread that contains loads of information is bad, then the admin really needs to stop her power trip.

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Quick question about your authentic Taifun GT: below the deck, does it have the same nude brass ring as the clone? I'm wondering if with time, someone using the Taifun a lot might get lead exposure from the under deck brass. I know juice goes there to die, but I'm not sure. Might be worth it...

    IGO-L Rebuildable Stainless Steel Dripping Atomizer Anyone have one of these?

    Yeah, bad luck I guess. They are made in huge quantities. The negative post if press fitted. Some will be loose. They don't have a 100% perfect product rate and the QC is ... well ... not that good. I think vendors reported a 5-6% reject rate with their large orders from China. Someone could...
