    Slow Cooker Extraction of Tobacco and Tea

    Thanks for the reply, Bill. I have now gone to just NET's...whatever flavors and character the tobaccos have is what I'm tasting. This is so much better...

    QnJ and GeJ offer 0 mg nic. Well, they told me the juices were 0 or nearly so.

    Slow Cooker Extraction of Tobacco and Tea

    After many poor to fair tries at blended tobaccos, I have found a couple I like. Backwoods cigars and American Spirit tobacco (Organic and Perique blend) seem to work well with Celestial teas. Some of the blends I like have been Bengal Spice and Mandarin Orange Spice when mixed with Perique...

    Slow Cooker Extraction of Tobacco and Tea

    After "playing" with several different tobaccos (cigar, pipe, and RYO), I have found a couple flavors that I am sticking with: American Spirit Organic and Crown Royale pipe tobacco. I am trying two new ones, which bring up my questions here. I found a dealer that stocks Nat Shermans, so I...

    The chemical in baking soda, Sodium Bicarbonate, is used in IV solutions to raise pH. It is an alkaline.

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    Yes, my reply is dated, but I just got my first batch of NET's done. Yup, I tried Backwoods, too. I recall smoking them around senior in high school years, which is over 3 decades ago. :D I used 2 cigars, cut up as finely as I could, then did a crock-pot extract with a 24-hour cook of straight...

    Natural Tobaccos

    I have been re-wicking the ProTank V2 for a while now. On the first re-wick, the original silica wick will usually come out in several pieces. The new cotton usually goes in best if you roll it into a fine spiral, then let the spiral relax once it is inside the coil. When replacing the cotton...

    Natural Tobaccos

    I was having trouble keeping all the various pieces/parts organized, having a dependable vise to hold the guide for my coils, etc. I found this to help with a lot of those issues: White River Fly Shop® Two-Tone WR-Emerger Fly Tying Bench | Bass Pro Shops I know we each find our own way from...

    Natural Tobaccos

    Nick and I discussed this last week when I picked up more Vita Bella and Natural Perique, along with Grasshopper. I had a chance to drip 6 month-old VB, then go straight to fresh from the counter VB. I can't taste any difference at all! As we gabbed further, I reminded Nick that all my juices...

    Natural Tobaccos

    After months of using Protanks with a variety of power sources, I have finally switched to dripping with mechanical mods. Okay, so my taste buds weren't lying to me. I WASN'T getting the same flavors many of you reported here. Now, I'm getting completely different tastes yet again. With 2...

    Natural Tobaccos

    In the model railroading world, people who mess with a variety of scales (like HO, N, and 027 all at once) refer to themselves as "rubber gaugers". I can relate as I do that as well with a couple different narrow gauge scales. Maybe you're a rubber vaper? I am and I'm proud to identify with a...

    Natural Tobaccos

    I'm afraid my 600+ ml of juice will have more friends in the cupboard...at this rate, I have almost 2 years' worth of juice and I need more??? :-)

    Natural Tobaccos

    I can vouch for all 3 GeJ flavors and they are all great! I can all day vape Patriot and Natural Perique; Vita Bella is a little too sweet for all day with me, but I do hit it in the evening when reading.

    Natural Tobaccos

    I guess I may be one of the few here who does not drip. I started with clearomizers and switched to Protanks because they were easier to use when driving. Once the Protank 2 came out, I switched to that and they are all I use with mechanical mods. Not real creative, but I like how everything...

    Natural Tobaccos

    You have hit the nail on the head: "I think it boils down to common sense..." Far too much of that lacking today.

    Natural Tobaccos

    I have to give a shout-out to QuickNicJuice...QnJ. While waiting for various juices to steep, I've been hitting Rich's e-juices hard lately. Yes, I bought them a while ago, so they have had a good month to settle in. My particular favs are Habana Daydream, OurWhyQu4tro, and Grandpa's Night Cap...

    the copper pipe with genny

    Better hobby stores that deal with model railroaders have or can get brass screws down to #00-90. That is tiny! Be warned, they can get pricey. 00-90 Brass Flat Head Machine Screws -- 1/2 x .047" pkg(10)
