I know there's been some experiments w/Snus, and I did a mini one myself:

I put Snus pouch (Frost) in a shot glass and covered it w/VG, added a lg. dropperful of everclear, a few drops of Lorann's English Toffee and a few drops of vanilla bourbon extract from Rose and Ivy. I didn't measure anything because I was just playing around, but it looks like it totals around 2ml of liquid.

I covered it with foil and put a rubber band around the foil so I could give it an occasional shake and left it for about a day and a half.


This morning I put a couple drops in a 510 atty on a Prodigy, and I was very pleasantly surprised. Mellow tobacco flavor, great vapor and an excellent throat hit. I'm surprised how well the menthol/vanilla work together. I know some ppl do mix these, but the sound of the two together never appealed to me. I tried it with a 510 battery just to compare, and of course the hit was less, but decent - could be a little better, but the flavor and vapor were still very good.

This really seems - at least for me - another option for liquid.

What I'd like to know is will this be more damaging to the attys than commercial juice?

Also, I've read about the dangers of extracting tobacco, but is extracting from Snus the same as from raw tobacco?

One last thing: Is there a good way measure the nic content?

Very nice.

I have no idea what a 'snus' is, or where to get it, but I tried my hand at making a tobacco extract today. Heated half a cup of distilled water, emptied the contents of five 100mm cigarettes into it, heated it to just the point of boiling. Let it steep, filtered it, then reduced it.

It came out very strong, but works well.

Question for those in the know: How much does VG need to be cut with water for the proper consistency? I'm having trouble getting this part down right.
