Can nicotine extraction be this simple?

I was surfing around and found this article:

ScienceDirect - Journal of Emergency Medicine : Internet suicide guidelines: report of a life-threatening poisoning using tobacco extract

Probably but I don't think it would make a very good base to vape with.

A handful of threads talk about attempts/results using this method - just search the DIY area.

I mean heck, the "less than smart individual" drank the stuff down like a shooter?!?!?!

What a nutbag... I remember a suspense/murder mystery movie a few years ago (the name escapes me) where the killer tied up one of his victims and covered him in nicotine patches, worked like a charm...

Let’s hope the FDA doesn’t force us to have to resort to that!
Can you imagine a scenario where you’d have to buy a legal deadly substance,
so you could evaporate it down to something less harmful and more healthful.

FDA: Well, hell, it looks like smoke. Where are the carcinogens?
e-vaporer: Carcinogens? We ain't got no carcinogens. We don't need no
carcinogens! I don't have to show you any stinkin' carcinogens!'

Exactly what happened during prohibition of alcohol and with drugs. We likely would never heard of PCP, crack, crank, etc. and other forms that are more easily smuggled than a kilo of weed.

Not advocating... just telling what happens when the gov't does something 'well intended' - 180 degrees opposite of that, commonly known as 'unintended consequences'. You'd think they'd catch on, but they don't, or they simply don't care anymore.

Look up tincturing herbs. Simply soak tobacco in pure grain alcohol for 6 weeks, theres ur extract! tricky part is knowing what concentrate it is and how to mix/dilute it. Nicotine is very potent, and can easily be deadly......Im sticking to buying my liquids for now.

The FDA is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world. Look at marijuana for an example. I can say a lot about it, but I won't as that would be hijacking for one and two, against ECF's rules. I wouldn't put it past them to ban e-juice, but I can tell you, if they did, I would start producing my own illegally.

The DIY section of the forums detail how to test the potency of nicotine in a liquid. I believe you would need 50-100$ worth of supplies, but it can be done at home fairly easily.

By the way, does anyone else see the UB sign on the top of the page? I can't tell if that's them detecting my campus through my ISP, or if its actually an article from my campus. It would be cool if it is.
