You could make a tobacco essence from the shisha. Crumble it in to as fine a power as you can, put about 30 mL VG into a sauce pan, add about a handful of shisha, heat to boiling stirring it around for about 1 minute, remove heat and let sit overnight, then filter it through a coffee filter or cotton. The quick heating should get flavors without a lot of vegetable material. If you warm it a bit before filtering, but not to boiling again, it should filter easier than at room temperature. Should work and taste just like the shisha you use.

You could use PG instead of VG. would probably filter easier yet...I just am a VG vaper.

That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea, I'm gonna have to try it!

You think I'd need that much shisha though?

I have a flavor that I really want to extract, but I have about 1 bowl left of it (1 head/round of smoking). It's definitely not a handful. What if I took a bit and let it soak in PG for a few days, then strained it through a coffee filter? Would that work out, or do you think the heat is a necessity?

Tasty Puff is for flavoring cigarettes, cigars, and... similar things. It does work in e-liquid though. I have never tried shisha extract but certainly it would have a tobacco element. I imagine shisha extract would gunk up an atty real quick too, but again I have no actual experience with this.

That's what I was thinking. There would be a whole lot of mollasses and/or honey in there.

There's gotta be some kind of flavoring for people who make their own shisha out there somewhere, gonna investigate lol.
