I have made an Earl Grey Tea extraction, it was not the best thing ever, tasted quite earthy rather than the floral type notes I was after.
I will assume that I left the teabags in the PG (in a kind of bain marie) for too long, so more tannins (or whatever) were released, giving a more bitter taste to it.
Next time I would just use more Teabags for less time.
I am not sure how good it will be using VG, but I suppose the heat will thin it enough to get decent steeping.

Good luck, I look forward to hearing of your results.

I just tried it again and I got a real relaxing/Sleepy Effect from it. The cotton gets dirty very quick tho. Wish I could find a way to make a cleaner extraction without alcohol I guess just better filtering im using the aeropress to filter have to buy better filters for it.
I haven't tried an aeropress,but what i found to work really good,is to take a large syringe,i use a 10ml,pull the plunger out,put a good sized chunk of cotton in the bottom,then pour some extract in,and use the plunger to push the liquid through the cotton.I do this 2 times,and replace the cotton each time.I have done this with both tea and tobacco extracts,and i get a very clean extract this way.
