Extracting Tobacco Flavoring

[Kirbysmusclecar]

I have done some natural tobacco extracts in the past 6 months, and have found a great recipe for those who DIY and want a cigarette close vape. All my extracts taste like the smell of a freshly opened pack of cigarettes but with hints of ashy, burny and sweet mix to them. Here is the link of my first documentation of my first several extracts.

The process is simple, easy and a bit time consuming

Take 1 cup of tobacco
half a cup of alcohol
1 cup of VG

Place mix in any glass jar (Beaker, Mason Jar or what ever glass that can be capped)
Let sit for 30 - 45 days (depending on how bad you wanna wait)
Then sit the mix jar in boiling water for 25 minutes to kill the nicotine
once cooled to a temperature where you can handle it, filter it through coffee filters or very thin mesh filters made for coffee that I use several times to clean the extract free of tobacco particles.

Once done you will get a clear clean tobacco flavoring easy to use in any atty or carto, and mixes well in any variation of e-juice. I have tried 70/30, 50/50 and 100%VG mixes and vapes fine in each juice.



Hope you DIY'ers enjoy this process I took the time coming up with.

Thank you very much man!!

I wonder how much you noticed Buzz and Woody in the background of the 3rd photo. Haha my office is in the supposedly childs room.

Why do you kill the nicotine? From what I have read, tobacco extractions give you a miniscule amount of nicotine, so mixed with your nic juice, it won't matter that much. Is there a reason to kill the nicotine other than worrying about too much nicotine in your juice?

I kill the nicotine because im already leaning to vaping no nicotine at all. So in the future i just need the flavoring. out of it.

I think the ethanol is going to get too much actual plant molecules, like proteins and polysaccharides. Neither ethanol or VG are getting nicotine in any significant quantities. Ethanol might get the tobacco specific nitrosamines (carcinogens), however, and if you are using American tobacco which is likely fermented, those are in elevated amounts.

You might try my tobacco essence, which is a fast cook in hot VG, then straining.

Yours will probably taste great, but might get hard on attys (the tobacco essence certainly is), and you may be getting some bad compounds too. Just my opinion.

Thanks for sharing this Kirby I don't know that I could wait that long-- you are patient. All extracted tobaccos are hard on cartos etc no matter what method used but so are alot of other flavorings. If it tastes good and keeps you off analogs its worth it. Can I ask what tobacco you are using?

My first couple experiments were done from Bugler rolling Turkish tobacco just to get an idea of how to do it. I later used some moist Kentucky, Virginia and other pipe tobaccos I picked up from a Tobacco shop. My method of extract came from food extracting really, I have done several fruits and plants to use the flavoring in food and eliquid. Waiting so long just allows the alcohol and VG to soak up the flavoring better. It was a long process but honestly when you just put it to the side time goes by pretty fast.

Check out the "impatient newbie" thread in the Tobacco Extraction Forum above. I have done considerable research on how to make tinctures and glycerites. I have photos and explanations of my experiments there.

So far everything has turned out great.

Lol not sure how that was meant to be put out, I may be new to ECF or post little but I have been around lurking the site for over a year and half.

Kirby thats the name of a thread by the original poster in the tobacco extraction forum-- he wasn't referring to you

What happens to the alcohol? Does it evaporate when boiling? If not, isn't it now part of the juice? Am I missing something?

 

[claud]

besides nicotine, tobacco has like 400 harmfull ingredients,
what happens to the tar and all that stuff, are we subtracting that from the tobacco and putting it in our vapes?
doesnt that make the vape just like a cigarette? (which we wanted to avoid)
even in tiny amounts, I'm just wondering...

Tar is AFAIK a byproduct of smoke. Wit no smouldering, there should be no tar.

 

[k3vin]

Excellent I shall try it soon

Alcohol like in foods become non existant since once boiled it has no effect compared if you just drank a beer. Heat kills alcohol also. I do not even have the alcohol smell in the flavorings because of it.

What type of alcohol?

 

[Kirbysmusclecar]

What type of alcohol?

My first trials were some cheap vodka, but the higher content of alcohol makes it better of an extract. I have been using what ever pure grain alcohol I can find at my local Walmart with the highest alcohol content. A bottle goes a long way since i do not drink it lol.

 

[Edstasic]

Please read Kurt's topic too: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/liquid-extraction-tobacco/99774-vg-pipe-tobacco-essense.html theres some talk about using alcohol WHEN BOILING but it may be different when already boiled and just as an addition to the almost finished mix.

Apparently using alcohol in the first process might give us some very unwanted materials. Im by no means an expert so i might be terribly wrong but my best suggestion is to read that topic a very good read too.

Thank you for all this awesome info guys.

I would like to know what "alcohol" you use in the process? Thanks
