i have a big big problem E-Liquid :(

[MDK2010]

hi
i'm new member happy to my presence among you
first of all i have a big big problem " e-liquid"
i have e-Go T and Ce5
i got PG&VG and many flavours
i mix it well and i got perfect e-liquid
nice taste and nice smoke I was satisfied with the result
but !!!!!
i can't feel any smoke in my chest
i feel i am just smoke air
some guys told me to add an nicotine to liquid
but in my country nicotine & E-Cigarette is forbidden
and i watched many videos on youtube to extract nicotine from tubac
I went to buy cigar expensive and luxurious
And focus on the fire in the propylene glycol
The result was a frustrating
Just a taste of good air and thick smoke but not feeling any thing
with the rest of the ready-made liquids were excellent even local ones
I could feel the smoke in my chest well
What I lack now?
I'm afraid to go back to regular cigarettes
and This is not what I want to do
thank you
and sorry for language

Welcome to ECF! I don't get any feeling in my chest either. Even with 36-38nic level. I do get strong throat hits with higher nic level. I'm vaping 24nic at the moment and it's got a decent throat hit, but nothing like the 36-38 level (I have several bottles I keep in stock with 36-38nic for those days I want bigger throat hits.). PG can also effect throat hits. The higher PG the more you can feel hits in throat. If VG is high you get more vapor but less throat hit.

I hope this helps, and if not. I'm sure someone will chime in and give you the correct answer.

Not sure what method you used to extract nicotine from the cigar but you probably didn't get much nicotine with an at home extraction. Not enough to create a good throat hit.

No problem, let us know how it works out for you

Don't go trying to extract nicotine at home. It's very, very dangerous. You need a real lab and some very strict safety procedures, since you can get enough pure nicotine on your skin to kill you.

You can extract the flavor of your tobacco by soaking in PG or VG or a mix of both, heating or not. There are lots of methods. But you won't be getting much nicotine.

It's not smoke, it's vapor

I would try adding some drinking alcohol to the juice. Something clear like vodka or pure grain alcohol.

Start with a small amount such as 1% and increase up to 5% if needed to see if it has the desired affect.

I second it. I tried alcohol and did not liked it because I got extra hit which I did not need. But for you it may work.

Vaping (inhaling vapor) is much different than smoking (inhaling burning tobacco). You won't feel it in your lungs as much since vapor is not smoke.

If you increase the amount of vapor with a more powerful device and lower resistance coils, you will feel it in your lungs more but it won't be the same as smoking.

Judging from the OP's location, and difficulty with english, I'm gonna go out on a limb and suppose he means alexandria, egypt... in which case, grain alcohol might be either impossible to get, or extremely expensive -- it's a primarily-islamic country. If e-cigs are hard to get, alcohol may be even more difficult!

I have read of people doing this and had some success with it. Worth a shot.

Never thought of that, that could be an issue

 

[Skauth]

Sad to say, I do not think you will get what you want until there is a significant amount of nicotine in your liquids.

IMHO, it is safer and more efficient to travel far enough to get nicotine liquid and smuggle it back (not advocating any illegality), than it is to extract your own nicotine. Vaping over smoking is about safer
behavior!

I wish the best of luck to you.

EDIT: I realize that depending on your location, traveling to get eliquid may not be a feasible possibility.. Not sure of a solution. At home extractions truly are difficult and, more, very dangerous.

A tobacco extraction that targets nicotine requires numerous steps with extremely volatile chemicals and should never be attempted by anyone that does not have proper equipment and training. Your best bet would be to research different flavorings that are available to you and may simulate the effect you're after. A few you can look into and decide if risk is worth the reward would be cinnamon, peppers, menthol, citrus & peppermint.

Please enlighten me.
I dont intend to drink it or let the cats get to it. Why Do I need a lab?



TIA,

[rodeo302]

Nicotine can be absorbed through your skin in very high amounts high enough to cause serious harm and it can be very volatile so you're best bet is to stimulate it by increasing your throat hit like others have suggested its about safety.

Have you tried a strong menthol juice ?

vaping is not smoking, and I think that anyone who expects the same results from vaping as smoking will be disappointed

I ve found that I get the best results by holding the vapour in my mouth and not inhaling as you would with a cigarette

It s hard to explain but I take a partial inhale
