Extracting flavors from Shisha?

[SilentEcho13]

Hey guys,

So I've got some Fantasia shisha here. It's really "juicy", like flooded with dripping flavoring.

Has anyone ever tried using this as a flavoring, or extracting some flavor from it?

Let's face it, shisha flavors taste amazing. This would open up a whole new palate for a bunch of it

Nice!

I'll message him now. Have you tried it?

I've never tried any Shisha, but I thought I read that Tasty Puff's flavors were actually made for flavoring Shisha and were adopted by vapers for ejuice. It might be their flavors you're trying to extract. Have you looked at their offerings?

Never tried em, I might have to now though lol.

I have some awesome Starbuzz shisha that I really like. I really want to try and extract them and make some liquid. I wonder if it's safe (or possible).

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.

I would like to know if its possible. There are quite a few shisha flavors from different brands that I like a lot, but can't and/or won't be able to find in eliquid form.
