Just received an email from RTS vapes announcing a 50% off going out of business sale. Another established vendor closing their doors? How sad! I purchased some of my first lab ware and bottles from them. They always had a wide selection of DIY flavorings, especially for Hangsen.

I've been extracting flavor from tobacco and making NETs for years. NETs are notoriously hard on wicks and coils, they're "gunky". To be fair any natural extract that's used to flavor e-liquid (juice) will be gunky for the same reason NETs are. Regardless of what solvent and method of extraction...

Just noticed Ecigexpress carries a new line of concentrated flavorings called "Lotus". Very expensive. Was wondering has anyone has tried them yet? Any good? Are they worth their price tag?

Hot ethanol extraction produces a more robust, wider spectrum tobacco flavor. In addition to the brighter flavor notes that ethanol alone produces, hot processing also provides the deeper, richer notes cold processing lacks. I've only extracted four different tobacco blends using this method but...

A report from "E-Cigarette Research" was published in the "International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health" detailing the first laboratory analysis of NET. I found this interesting not only because I make and vape NET, but also because the potential hazards of NET have been...

I've been using AP (5% Acetyl Pyrazine), from TFA but am unimpressed with the flavor, - smells great - but my taste buds just don't sense much of a nutty flavor from AP at any percentage (0.1% - 5%). I also use TFA's Hazelnut but it just isn't a nutty enough flavor. Any suggestions?

I use blended solvents when extracting flavor from tobacco and vanilla beans, cloves and etc. A recent addition to my extraction methodology, I use a small portion of purified water in all solvent blends to enhance and expedite flavor extraction. Once the extraction and filtering process is...

I enjoy an earthy vanilla undertone in my tobacco extractions and had great success achieving that effect last year using PG extracted Madagascar bourbon planifolia vanilla beans blended with a touch of Holy vanilla concentrated flavoring. However, after considerable research, this year's batch...

We've witnessed the birth and technological progression of variable voltage (VV), and variable wattage (VW), chipsets from the original anemic ego's to the monster 260+ watt box mods of today. These chipsets help provide a consistent vape throughout a batteries useable capacity, protect the...

What are your favorite tobaccos for flavor extraction? Of the seventy + pipe and cigar tobaccos I've tried so far only a handful stand out and, for me, the best of the best all have come from pipe tobacco blends. In no particular order, here are my top picks; Sutliff "Voodoo Queen" Dunhill...

I love flavored NET's (It's all I vape), and one of my favorite mixes incorporates TFA's vanilla swirl, Holy vanilla, FA Vienna cream and LorAnn caramel to one of my homebrewed NETs. Caramel flavoring is a relatively "new" addition to my mixes and I've only tried TFA's original caramel, Inawera...

In my never ending search for that "perfect" e-juice I turned to DIY mixing. Using extracts/flavors from FA, TFA, LorAnn and others it seems to me each brand has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to specific flavors. For tobacco I really like FA's 7 leaves, Shade and Tuscan reserve...

I bought my first PV several months ago just to see what all the hype was about. Using information gained from reading threads on the ECF I ordered various equipment, several types of e-juice and some misc. stuff just to try out. A heavy pipe, cigar and cigarette smoker for 40+ years, I was...
