Can I use PG/VG to extract natural flavors?

[ayopassthat]

I'm looking to make some natural extractions using ginger, green tea, coffee, vanilla, etc. I see a lot of people use vodka or Everclear to extract. Alcohol and I don't have the best history so I'd like to stay away from using it. Can I get the same flavor using PG/VG? I will be using a slow cooker/sterilized mason jars if that helps. Thank you

Yes, you can. More info here:http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/liquid-extraction-tobacco/

Sure. PG and VG are alcohols. They have different saturation points with VG being the worst. Ethanol is the best for most uses, but any non-toxic alcohol will work.

(More can be extracted per unit volume with ethanol, then PG, and the least amount of compounds per unit volume would be VG)

Pg and Vg are both used to aid in the extraction and are the perfect liquid for vaping. I agree with the above posters .
