Just wondering if anyone has read, or knows someone who has read this book I found on Amazon called "Make your own e-liquid: And other tricks to make your starter kit last forever". It was only rated by one person on Amazon....5 stars, but with only one rating...that doesn't mean to much to me if ya know what I mean.

There was a thread on this book about 6 months ago but I couldn't find it now. The book was written by a fellow ECF member and a couple of people said they bought it. Maybe someone who did can give you some info on it.

I got it. Really, it's very short more like a pamphlet and really the only thing you think you're going to learn has to do with extracting nic from tobacco. That is in there but, it's a long way from pure. There actually is a little known area on this forum where these techniques have been discussed. You can learn a lot more there. Here's a link to it. Be careful, you'll be making a dangerous substance and it'll be nasty to boot.

From the chemist's point of view: extracting tobacco leaves gives you a mixture containing also TSNAs (tobacco-specific nitrosamines), which are quite nasty chemicals, as far as health is concerned. Also - if you use processed leaves, not those bought directly from the farmer, you'd extract hundreds of other nasties.
In fact, I'd stick to buying a nic base - much more healthier.
But - I assume everyone is adult here and uses brains.

That was pretty much my first thought. It looked like a great way to concentrate heavy metals among other things along with the nicotine.
