Just an update here since I decided to give this a try.

Single snu in PG was kind of light and seemed to have some odd undertaste that I am coming to associate with PG.

Double packet of snus (2) was better but still weak (IMO) and still the undertaste.

So, I am giving *5* packets a try - soaked them with vodka, perhaps wetted them might be more accurate and am soaking them in VG, going on 24 hours now.

HEARTY looking :) at this point. Should be finished in about the next 3 hours, report to follow.

Reporting now :)

Seems to have worked nico wise (NO idea how much, but it is there). Flavor IMO still leaves much to be desired.

Will be getting my neighbors to verify but it sure looks promising at this point. If the gov abuse gets worse then I think we are covered!

Next I want to try other tobacco in place of the snus, the flavor seems incredibly light to me.

But, I think we have success! :D Happy Dance :D!

Looked all over today for the snus. I was only able to find the camel frost flavor. This stuff must be getting popular as everyone's little fridge that contains these were empty. As I said I was able to get a hold of a can of frost flavor and wanted to experiment with you guys. I wanted A good tobacco flavor but could not wait. So i have 3 frost pouches sitting in a shot glass coverd with about a 1/4 oz of PG. It's ben sitting for about 2 hours now and the liqiud is already a dark brown color and has an odor or mint/fresh essense.( like wrigley's spearmint gum). I plan on letting it sit in room temp untill the morning about 14 hrs untill I load up a cart and give it a shot. I did the 3 pocches because I did not want to play no games. I want taste and if possible, a throat hit. I vape 36 mg. dekang straight :evil: so I doubt that the nic levels will be a concern. I'll post back with a review.

Percentages! How much snu solution and how much other stuff? You got this off 5 camel snus? I just ordered some Odin snus from Norway (or Sweden. Whichever is the land of Abba). They are 17mg a pop. So 5 x 17 = 85mg. If I catch 50% of that it's like 42 mg. I got to figure out how much you loose or gain and the volume of what you gain (like 2 ml of liquid containing 36mg).

Something like that :p

OK I loaded up a cart with this stuff. First impression, I taste sugar. I do get a good flavor from it. Not sure if it is a good idea to vape this so highly concentrated as the sugar may cause damage to the addy. I'm gonna try a different flavor and see how it go's.

ok forget the snus, get back to the caffeine experiments!!

I canned the coffee bean idea for now because it doesn't seem like it will dissolve enough without extra steps. But I'm going to pick up some coffee bags (like the teabags) next time I go to the store. Will update as I go along.

I didn't get a lot of flavor out of the regular snus and I had let it soak for a couple of days (but it was only one pouch in 1/4 oz PG. I'm going to try more pouches the next time in a larger bottle.

I also ordered some of the 17mg snus. Let's see how it goes!

Do you think those individual coffee bags (like teabags) would work the same but just give a coffee flavor instead?

Lu

Possibly. after i tried the tea out, i emptied a dry tea bag and filled it with standard foldger's colombian roast. it took a few days to get any color going, but it did work.

i haven't vaped it yet though. my last atomizer broke down and my shipment from china won't be here for a few more days. it has an insanely strong coffee smell though.

I need to find a shot glass and a little clay pot then I am go for soaking some pg Tips for caffeine content. Should have Yorkshire tea for strength I guess. I have had bad experiences with coffee flavors. That's coffee and pg mixed in China, not home brew. Tea is tea (I hope!).

atomizers came in today.

results from soaking coffee in a tea bag in PG for a week were awesome.

the taste is wonderfull, and the caffine hit from it is pretty intense. nicotine and caffine combination is pretty good as well.

liquid was a very very dark brown, didn't clog up my atomizer at all. i could actually see myself vaping just this with no nicotine.

Thanks so much for the update! I'm looking forward to trying it too. Probably getting the coffee bags tomorrow night after work.

If you could do a dry residue test, that would be really useful info.

Pur a small amount on a teaspoon and heat over a flame or on a coffee warmer hot plate. Until dry (or no more change observed). Then tell us if anything left on the spoon.

I think you may be onto something there. You're saying the caffeine did the trick of nicotine, then?

You know there's a correlation between one and the other although I forget what it is.

You might want to try Swedish snus rather than the american snus, its widely accepted that it is cleaner with less bad stuff in it. It is available in a wide variety of strengths and flavours.

Here is a blatant plug for a retailer, where I get reward points for referral. :D

BuySnus.com 10% discount

Wait a minute frog.
I've been doing that good old American Scoal for several years now and it hasn't hurt me...hurt me...hurt me....bothered me yet... uh, what day is this?:rolleyes:
Seriously though, I've been thinking about running some Skoal through a little drip coffee maker I have using some distilled water, to get the base product and then go from there. Think would that work?
