IIRC, it takes a chemical process to extract the alkaloids from tobacco so I doubt we'd be able to DIY it.

Thank you Shilo .. I'll break my 5% max rule and do it the way you do .. thanks!
Yeah didn't think so, was just "hoping" LOL. When I started vaping I didnt want anything close to a cig taste .. but that was 2 1/2 yrs ago and now I think I'd like a cig taste every now and then.
Some methods I know about,
Ultrasound
Microwave
Steam dist.
chemical extraction
You can use PGA or VG to make your own tobacco extracts which will have WTA's in them. Some tobaccos either have higher alkaloid counts or some techniques extract more alkaloids, not sure which though. More alkaloids = more nic
I thought about buying some different whole tobacco leaves from a grower (leafonly.com) to mess around with but havent gotton around to it yet.
Can you mention how/where you got WTA? How much do you use?
I ordered some from vapelicious several weeks ago but haven't received yet....I'm anxious to try it
I figure 2 liters with my current stock.
I'd probably need six liters for two vapers
...so do you buy 100mg and dilute down? (I'll planning ahead too lol but not sure how much to buy!)
That's what I'd do. In this case you'd want the highest concentration.
I saw 300mg 500ml for $280 @ WL. I would need a full body suit on before touching that stuff.
Regular consumers can't buy the 300 mg. I bet that stuff would yellow fast.

Extracting nicotine from a Cigar
Instructions
1
Remove all bands and cellophane from the cigar, and shred the cigar using the scissors into small pieces. Put the pieces of the cigar into the glass container.
2
Add boiling water to the glass container; just enough to ensure that the cigar shreds are submerged in the boiling water. Affix the cap, and allow the cigar-water to steep for about 24 hours.
3
Filter the cigar-water through the coffee filter. Pour the resultant water (it should be nearly black) into a shallow pan, and place on the stove top.
4
Simmer the filtered cigar-water down to a supersaturated fluid (it will become thicker). You will want to maintain good ventilation---keep a fan and windows open to help circulate air. Allow the supersaturated solution to cool slowly, stirring with the glass stirring rod.
5
Pour the thick supersaturated solution again into a coffee filter, and allow it to rest undisturbed for another 24 hours. The resultant material left behind in the filter is pure nicotine.
