example, i extract fresh fruits with vodka with pg/vg. after extracting it and filtering it what should be the next step? does my final product gonna be my flavouring?
You can't do both. You need to pick one or the other.
If you choose vodka you should evaporate most of it off.
If you use vg/pg it will be good to go as soon as your done extracting.
This doesn't make sense.
You can do both, I wouldn't advise it with vodka, because the water isn't going to help things out. But you can boil off the alcohol. I wouldn't advise it, because the Boiling point will be pretty damn high due to the PG and VG and chances are you're extracted flavors will end up tasting cooked.
For the OP, what were the ratios of Vodka, PG and VG in your extraction solution?
i mean dude after extracting and have my final product what should be the next step? is my final product gonna be my flavouring?
hoosier told me that i can do both ethanol with pg or vg, but the problem is when filtering it.
whats "OP" stands for?
OP = Original Poster = you = kurtcobain13.
If your orignal blend was under 20% Ethanol, I'd suggest starting out by simply dripping some of it at full strength and tasting it.

ahh okay sir. thanks 
what is the ratio of the solid(mg) to volume of ethanol? how many percent of ethanol will i add on the solid to extract it?

I'm not sure I follow you, I was asking what ratio of Ethanol, PG and VG you mixed together to make your extraction solvent. The solid fruit in your extraction isn't really important. If your Ethanol was above 20%, you'll either have to cook it off or add more PG, or more VG to bring it's levels down.
One simple test is to drip it in an atty and try to vape it. If the Ethanol is too high you won't get vapor.
20% of the final extraction if the Ethanol is 190 proof. Even that high it might not vape well, I'd imagine if it was vodka (80-100) proof it might be too much water to vape at all.
I like to evaporate ethanol off to make the extract as potent as possible before using it, but not to the point where it is thick.
No ethanol has the lowest boiling point out of the group (of Water, PG and VG) so it will be the first thing to boil off.
I'd suggest trying to vape it straight first, then adding some VG if it doesn't vape to thicken it.
Due to the PG and VG in the solution the boiling point will probably be pretty high, higer than the BP of water, and you'll most likely cook the flavoring components from your extract. It may taste good, it may not. I can't really do more than speculate when you can't tell us the proportions of Alcohol, PG and VG you put into the extraction solution.
You really have to answer my question before you can keep asking more.
