Ok this is my first DIY flavor I made. So sorry if I did this like a complete newb.

I got some chamomile I got off ebay, 1oz of dried chamomile flowers for less than $5 including shipping!

So I basically made it the same way you would make tea, warmed up the PG and made a makeshift tea bag from a coffee filter. I ground the dried flowers first.

The taste is fantastic, its like a sweet herbal taste. I possibly made it a bit too potent, but thats no problem since I could dilute. The best part is that it has the relaxing effects like the tea!! Great for that nighttime vape! I am surprised actually how well it turned out and how strong it actually is.:thumbs:

:sleep:

This sounds very very interesting! I'm definitely putting it on my list of things to try.

You only used PG? Warmed it up, "teabag" in, let it sit a while? (An hour? A day? How long?)

vaping it straight as-is?

I like Chamomille tea quite a lot, but what I like less is its diuretic effect - I wonder if it retains that when vaped?

And then there's the anti-septic properties - the reason Chamomille is so good for a sore throat. I'm thinking a Chamomille vape might be even better for a sore throat than Chamomille tea is.

I did use only PG, thats all I have at the moment. I only made a small amount because of my limited amount of supplies, maybe 5mL of PG but a whole tea bag amount of chamomile. I also squeezed out what was absorbed in the bag, which I know you are not supposed to do for the actual tea, so this is more of an extract.

I haven't made the actual tea in quite a while, it is usually infused with other herbs. I haven't noticed a diuretic effect, but I really haven't been paying attention and have only done an initial test because I don't want to pass out. Later tonight will be a bit longer of a session.

I did notice that its flavor is really strong yet it is still very smooth compared to another flavor I have.

Oh yeah forgot to add that didn't time how long either, I just waited until the PG turned really yellow. This took about an hour, I assume.
