Now that I have vaping mtl for a while now, I decided I wanted to try out a good tobacco flavor in 24mg. So there is a shop near me that sells own liquid. I asked them about their tabacco flavor and they said that it's derived from actual tobacco. The guy told me that is not harmful and that it's just like any other flavor but in my mind I don't understand how it can not be harmful if it's from actual tobacco which is filled with danderous additives. I've read here on ecf about how people vape this kind of tobacco juice but I would like to know if it has any health hazard over regular e-liquid. Thanks.
Is e-liquid derived from actual tobacco harmful?

Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux that link is to a thread dedicated to naturally extracted tobaccos, maybe drop your question in there? I myself do vape a few NET's and also use some small amounts of tobacco absolute in my DIY juice, as for the safety, I think it's a personal decision you have to make. At least with vaping these things there aren't the combustion by products that occur from smoking, this would in my mind indicate a lower level of harm. But NETs may contain some levels of the organic compounds that might be not so good for us. Someone with more knowledge than me will probably pop in and offer you more info.
Don't get hung up on the fact it's flavoured with tobacco. Would you feel the same about a liquid flavoured with blueberry ?
Obviously, if there are bits of tobacco leaf floating in your liquid then that's not good but every NET i've tried has been filtered down to the point where the liquid is perfectly clear and i consider them just another flavouring. I would like to think that any NET manufacturer is using natural leaf and not BT chemical infused crumbs from a cigarette !
As for vaping ANY flavours, well that's another story....

Generally speaking nets are created from loose leaf tobacco, not from a pack of cigarettes. No additives involved.
Net flavors are created by soaking the leaf in pg to leach the flavor out of it (simplified form) and then filtered down and filtered down and filtered down so all that is left is pure flavored pg.
Then you add that to your vg, nicotine base, and pg mixture in amounts anywhere from 1 or 2 percent to 5 percent on the high side. Therefore, on the high side you have at most around 1.5 ml of tobacco flavoring in a 30 ml bottle of e juice. (And that's on the high side).. for most people, this 30 ml bottle will last a week.. that's 1.5 ml of purified tobacco flavoring a week, at most.
So.. with no additives, and the flavoring itself having been filtered down to an as pure as humanly possible flavoring, it's not really what anyone considers "dangerous". It, like anything else, is just natural "flavor".. not tobacco, and nothing close to a cigarette.
Reading this thread makes me wonder a bit to how a cig company can use the same tobacco in their cigs and have several different strengths. I'll take the Export brand here in Canada that I smoked for years. How can they have ultra light, light, medium and full strength using the same tobacco without adding or removing nic from that tobacco leaf. NET's have almost unmeasurable of nic in them from my research so I have to add the nic to get what I want. I have no idea how nic is made or derived nor really care other than it works and that I'm not combusting to get my fix.
I do find it rather funny how some who smoked for many years are now concerned about carcinogens. Long term vaping effects also are a unknown but short term effects of healthier body, pocket money and enjoying tastes that cigs have masked over the years far outweighs the known shorter life that cigs offer.
I'll take my chances that vaping is a long term healthier approach and deal with the maybe consequences later there could be rather than smoking knowing that every cig I smoke is another few minutes off my life, sooner to the grave.

I was interested in NET and WTA e-LIquids myself for a good while but I decided against using them at this point not because of the carcinogens that could be in it but more for the other possibly addictive chemicals added to Tobacco. Remember this is only my opinion and not based on any scientific facts or studies it is just my gut feeling.
