has anyone tried to vape this? I have. here is what i did. first pick a flavor of tea that sounds good to you.take 2 teabags and let them seep in about a cup of hot water for about 10 mins. remove teabags and squeeze out any excess tea. run tea trough a coffee filter(mostly did this to get any extra particles out that might gunk up my atty). boil the tea until you are left with about 30ml of extract. run through coffee filter again. bottle this up because your are not going to use it all right now.

now to mix up the juice. i used straight no nic VG. but you can use what ever you want. i mixed it to about 80% vg/20% tea extract. shake and let seep for a while. you can vape it right away but for best flavor let it seep at least a week.

how does it taste, you ask? it does taste a little bit different then the artificial flavors uesd in other juices. for the most part it tastes just like the tea. Celestial Seasonings has a ton of tea flavors,so pick a tea you like and give it a try. and let me know what you think. and feel free to try to improve this juice.

Interesting. There's a Bombay Chai by Mighty Leaf (very strong, no milk products in it) i was planning to order to drink but I am now tempted to do this with it.

How about this:

Open the tea bags, pour the tea into a small saucepan (glass or stainless steel) or pyrex beaker
Add enough VG 80%/DW 20% to cover the tea
Cover and simmer on low heat for 1/2 hour
Filter through a coffee filter while still warm

yeah that will work too. you just want the tea to be real strong. so add as much tea as you wish i just used water to biol the tea down because i was using straight VG an i knew i was going to have to ad water to thin it out some.

Hmm. I will try this one.

when I think DIY e-Juice. THIS Is what I have in mind.
Not just mixing pre-made flavorings with VG or PG. This is actually making use of things you can actually have in Your kitchen or at least go into a grocery store or local pharmacy and buy.

That sounds pretty interesting, anyone else tried it? What flavors are the best you have tried?
Can coffee be done the same way? Can a sweetener be added to this?

Yes, sweetener can be added. Ethyl maltol crystals, or purchased pre-made 'sweetener' (which is succralose/pg/water/flavor I believe), or liquid sweeteners from the grocery store can be used. I'm sure there are other options as well...but a more experienced DIYer will have to chime in for more specifics.
