Hey fellow vapers! I want to make juice from an expensive cigar, I'm under the impression that they have no addatives. I have the PG and VG and want 50/50. Appreciate it if someone knows a good way to extract the flavor and nicotine.
One cigar...I think the question will be, is that enough to get a reasonable amount of extract.
shred the cigar and soak it in distilled water to rehydrate the leaves - note how much water you used. cover it and let it stand to absorb the water. dump that into a blender and add enough ethyl alcohol(ethanol) to blend it. filter the mixture and squeeze out as much filtrate as you can. keep this liquid aside. soak the retentate(whats left in the filter) in alcohol again stir and let it stand for a few minutes then filter and squeeze again. add this liquid to the one you set aside or directly filter in to it. repeat filtration till the filtrate is clear. reduce the filtrate in a hot water bath - do not let the bath boil. add 30ml of PG when reduced to the same amount of water you used to rehydrate then let it reduce to 30ml. that would give you a cigar extract in 30ml PG

I'm not a tobacco flavor vaper now. If the OP is certain there are no bad additives in the cigar he's going to use.And you vape that ?
lab grade filter is best but 2 or 3 coffee filters should do.*snip*
Now I have to try it .. any particular filter material to favor for best results? Thanks, -Mags
