My first extraction!!

[phatglass]

I just vaped my first tobacco extraction. It turned out great!!!!! Just plain tobacco, no flowers, perfume, spices, just a straight forward flavor. Tastes like a tobacco shop smells. I just covered some additive free tobacco W/PG left for 3 days, heated in the microwave for a couple mins, let it cool then strained, I have to dilute it with about 30% more PG or VG, but overall it turned out like I wanted my tobacco flavor to taste. I'll probably add some different flavors to some of it and see how it turns out.

Good for you! I myself am a big fan of tobacco flavors; can't stand the sweetness that IMO is in every juice that isn't tobacco flavor based. I actually have some stuff sitting in VG right now but I have to wait another 12 hours before I can even try it I used some Camel cigarettes, gross I know but I didn't want to waste money on some really fine D&R Ramback Gold before I find out if I can even do this or not.

Great let us know how it goes.

...some additive free tobacco...

Was it American Spirit cigarette tobacco? I almost bought that but the price was outrageous. I got Drum Gold instead, but still haven't brewed anything up.

 

[phatglass]

it was American Spirit, I live in NC and they have a packaging plant here (in NC) so I got it for about 7.50. I smoked hand rolled AS for 10 years so it was great to to be able to taste that again, but with out the smoke and coughing!!!!

NICE!! congrats!
I don't vape tobacco flavors, but if I did this is truly the way I think it should be done!

Does this wind up containing tar?

 

[phatglass]

Nope, It is a water soluble solution, no floaties or anything. It's been 8 days and tastes light and fresh, like an aroma, has been my all day vape since.

Did this process extract some nicotine too or did you need to add some nic juice?

 

[phatglass]

I don't think so, I'm no chemist though. I made mine 24mg/ml with 50/50 pg/vg nic liquid. doesn't have that too much nic taste either.

This is interesting, very interesting indeed.

There's a few pipe tobaccos that I could see making wonderful juices if this process is all it takes.

Is it really that simple? Steep some tobacco in PG like you are making tea?

I'd be interested in trying this myself... how much tobacco and pg did you use? Just looking for a place to start.

 

[phatglass]

I used 1 package of Tobac. in a big plastic bowl, then cover with PG let steep for 3 days. I dont like all the flavors in most tobac juice, no nutty, perfume, no nonsense, mix about 40-50% pg or vg and add nic, if you like tobac you will love this one.

I found out I had some bad PG from the Tractor Supply, so I ordered some from work(I work in a vet hosp.) I redid my extraction. WOW!!!!! This stuff is the best I have had from any company!!! Tobacco, almost buttery, I have found my all day vape. If anybody wants a sample pm me and we can work out somthing. I would be glad to hear what others had to say about it.

 

[Tinky]

Wow! Thanks for sharing!
I was going to purchase pg from tractor supply...what was wrong w yours? Bad batch?

After it steeped, and you strained how many ml did you end up w?

When you warmed it...did you just set the bowl down in water bath or did you pour it off into pan?

Tobacco flavors are my favorite and I'm thinking this may keep me as happy as some of the fluids I buy...maybe even cheaper.

 

[ToweKnee]

Would be interested in the process you did this in,

 

[Ammoseven]

I really hope someone attempts this with some hops. If that works then I'm all in

 

[Sdh]

I am going to try something like this....I may need to read to increase my knowledge...I have some natural black n sweet cigars I purchased this weekend for this purpose. Wish me luck!

Over the last few months, I have dialed in the process. No heat required. If you use ~1oz of tobacco, just cover it with PG. wait 3 days, shake well everyday, strain through a cheese cloth, then run through a coffee filter. Used @ high voltage, it can clog attys a little, just an alcohol soak for a few hours, blow it out well, give a little dry burn and good to go. When all the filtering is done, dilute with 50% VG, add nic and that is all. I have been vaping this stuff for many months (almost exclusivly).
Cartos will last about a week with it and maybe 1 cleaning. I'm kinda of a putist so I go through alot of cartos. Works gteat in duel coil cartos, and exceptional in SR Boges @ 5v. Hope that helps. Happy vaping!!

Does the exhaling vapor smell like a ciggy?

 

[throatkick]
