They have pouches and cans. Just not in stock. My local shop only sells the Original cigarettes. I don't enjoy having to take an exacto and slit open 20 cigarettes for extraction. I would like to find some online retailer that sells single pouches of the organic and the perique.

Arizona law states that cigs and cig tobacco must be purchased face to face.

LOL! They must be learning from Mexican taxpayers... The border is nefarious in more ways than one.

Just FWIW, the cook product is this. Smelling exactly like the delicious weed! Cannot bear waiting two weeks for it to mature, but then I reflect I waited almost two years to open the tin... and remember it is the last one of six.

Much as I'm amazed at the good results I've got out of different pipe tobaccos, I wouldn't want to vape on a Marlboro or Viceroy extract. Leave the coffin nails be.

 

[boomerdude]

But have you vaped American Spirit? It makes an excellent tobacco flavor. To each, their own taste. The tobacco itself comes in cans and pouches as pipe tobacco's does. The extract is called Big Spirit and Speaking Spirit for the organic. It's sold by NET.com if you can't find the tobacco you can get the extracts or juice from them. Be prepared for a 4-6 week delivery as NET.com is very busy.

Organic Spirit is the organic and Speaking Spirit has Perique. I did enjoy the SS most of all of them.

 

[ForeverDiving]

Since I started vaping, I dropped from several pipes a day to once every few weeks... :/
Now I have a stash of tobaccos to last me a lifetime. I'm buying the naturally-exracted-tobacco.com stuff when I'm not DIYing. Bombay is delicious and Balkan is as close to the real thing as it's gonna get.

Interested if I can use 100% vg cold ,, allergic to pg to some extent.
Haven't seen a follow up on that.
Thanks

 

[PaulBHC]

I think johni used vg when he ran out of pg for a room temp extraction. See that thread for info.

You certainly can. My first NET was done 100% VG as the PG was still in the mail. As a matter of fact, tobacco extracts perfectly in VG, albeit not cold. You will have to steep at about 60°C for it to really release the flavors (or wait 3 weeks at room temp).

I suggest a baby bottle warmer. Perfect for warm extracts.

Fantastic, thanks.
Around here I can put it outside in the shade under something I can keep it dark, it'll get warm.

Java Robusto
La Gloria Cubana Series N Generoso
Ramon Bueso Genesis Toro
Tatiana Vanilla
Sutliff Voo Doo Queen
Peter Stockbye 21 Black Vanilla

I'm really liking these Tatiana flavored cigars.

How dark should it get?
I bought some lighter pouch tobacco just to try steeping.
Started 5/9 in a 1/2 pint mason, covered the tobacco about a 1/2 in, put in the cupboard.
Every day I've been filling a pot with the hottest water that comes out of the tap, 140 degs and let cool, and stir lightly with an ice pick.
I see the tobacco has floated to the top with some VG below and it is getting real dark.
Soon?

 

[boomerdude]

What kind of tobacco? Is the container covered? I don't use VG for extracting but I know it's darker. If your tobacco is Burley and/or Virginias and Orientals it will be lighter than a Cavendish, Stoved, Latakia or Perique blends.

If your using heat like that it should be ready seeing it's been a couple of weeks.

 

[KenS]

It's not ready, just tried some. Just a mild flavor of Turkish/American blend.
A couple more weeks and it might start to be better.
Still learning.

Mornin people... did a black cavendish/cherry in 100VG with the MW burst method... juice flavor ( drip on tip of finger taste test) is wonderful, plenty of cherry along with a healthy tobacco base note, the arouma is predominately cherry, mild on the tobacco. Did a 510 dripper test and the cherry is very faint but the cavendish is there. Once I was semi satisfied with the end product I added my nic base (vg) to bring it up to 18 nic. (1.8%). Unfortunately, the mixed (nic added) juice took on a "fishy" smell...
Is this what is as known as "skunk"?? its been a couple of days and the smell ( fishy) has lessened a tad... but the vape is wonderful doesnt have the fishy aspect... common occurance?? or did I create a new snafu??

 

[boomerdude]

It will dissipate after awhile. I get it from Virginia tobaccos and a couple of Orientals like Cypriot or Macedonian. I don't know what causes the scent but I tried to track it down some time ago and after adding nic, VG separately I got it from the VG.

However, someone posted an answer back then, to a post I made about it, that it was probably the nicotine. I have always used Wizard Labs nicotine. The one time they were out was when they moved and I had to get nicotine from Ecig Express. That nic was a lot darker and I definitely got that scent from it.

So, I don't know which it is. Perhaps someone else will post about it. In the meantime, it has always gone away after steeping so I don't worry about it.

[boomerdude]

So, I got an Aeropress from Amazon for $20 with 700 filters and free shipping. Travels the full distance to squeeze out almost all the concentrate from the tobacco. Easy-peasy clean up. Highly recommend.
