Yep, the exact same thing. Tobacco Absolute - One Stop DIY Shop Store Here you go! You could make a ton of Best Damn tobacco with that one vile.

I am feeling a bit duplicitous tonight with my posting, as if it isn't easily seen, but I can't be PMing everybody. :facepalm: :laugh:
I know this isn't quite on topic, but does anyone know what the difference is between TA and tobacco Extract (http://www.onestopdiyshop.com/tobacco-extract/)?

The extract sounds like it's easier to work with ("do not try to use alcohol to dilute this one, it does dilute well with water then will mix well with your blends" ) and probably closer to the flavor most DIY tobacco juice makers would be looking for ("has more of a "cigarette" type flavor and less of the "grass" note" ) .

Just wondered if anyone here had any experience with the extract.

In other words after all's said and done, VV = a TA not a NET? :confused:

Depends on how technical you want to be. In my opinion, I call TA juices, TA juice.

Taken from VV's site (notice how TA can be worded): It's finally here! Introducing XXXXXXXX all new organic tobacco! We took our bold name from the exclamations trying this flavor inspired in taste testers! This tobacco flavor is a rich, full bodied flavor and is completely free of propylene glycol unless a PG mix is requested. This flavor is specially extracted from certified organic or wild crafted, pesticide-free tobacco without the use of hexane{?}. It contains only trace amounts of organic ethyl alcohol added during mixing in order to keep it in solution. Enjoy!

What is underlined is the give away.

My first impulse was to say it was just diluted, but it appears to be what it says it is. It is clearly super concentrated, but it is achieved in a different manner ei.e. OAE extraction vs. hexane. That one may be JUST what you are looking for, VM. Billherbst just ordered something similar, so I can't wait to see what he thinks. Go for it.

Sounds like a better choice, given what you are looking for, as well as easier to use. But I have no experience with it, so that is based on the same info you have...

I think if vendors want to use slight of hand to advertise a product, that underlined statement might be just the ticket to covertly get the answer we are looking for. Just ask the vendor if the "NET" contains alcohol, because you are allergic to vaping alcohol. No way for them to dodge that question...

Just ordered a "dram" of the extract. Guess I'll find out what that is too once it gets here.:D

Not exactly, but sort of. Some vendors like Ahlusion and HHV (Ahlusion with their non-aromatics and some of their NETeas, HHV with them all) use OAE as the extraction driver. I have gotten straight-up answers when I just ask if they use TA. Of course, I don't buy unless I get a response anyway. Like Rawr just the other day confirmed that their Poison series uses TA.

I have been busy all day and unable to keep up with the happenings on this matter. But something still smells suspicious to me. The fellow who poster the original pics of the icky juice said that is what it looked like AFTER 30 seconds of shaking! If it truly was just "flavoring coming out of solution" as claimed, between the shaking and the glycerine (which has emulsifying properties), it should have become homogeneous again.

Will have much, much more to say when I get home.

So far Ahlusion, Want2Vape and Vaperite state that no alcohol is used in their NETs... I can't find anything on Goodejuice or HHV, but I haven't/can't smelled any of it in the orders I recently got from both of them... I will look into some of the others, out of curiosity.

HHV=OAE extraction, though not necessarily added to the juice after the fact as in thinning the TA with OAE. GeJ uses a PG maceration. W2V is unknown, though I think they use a CO2 extraction and A+ uses something similar with their aromatics.

ALl has been unearthed and brought into the light. Read the thread over there and see how it developed.

Could someone please tell me about this wonder and it's wonderfull sibling Hunters Blend? NET, TA or both maybe. What say ye? :)

I don't mean it let off a lot of lint, I mean LINT was all that was left of the jacket when I opened the dryer door. :facepalm:

I thought it was ironic, you know, FLEECE(D).

Ah! Just realized: Another juice name. Maybe two:

*Fleeced*
and
*Lint Juice*

.......now all I need is a fabulous oxymoron to name my business.

I swear, I keep picking up on words out of this topic. How about *Vile* for another juice name? Its not like it would be totally unlike some of the stuff we've all bought, right.

I understand using it as an extraction driver, but you wouldn't leave the tobacco extract in alcohol over a long period of time would you? Oh well, I was hoping that the alcohol used in extraction was removed from the extract, and the extract was then kept in PG/VG until mixing which would still mean alcohol added to the finished product was only there to keep an oil in suspension... Thanks for the solid information though :)

Give me a couple days and I'll be able to tell you more detailed info cause as of now, I don't know diddly about the process.

Not really sure about BWB, pretty top secret... But I think they use a NET base, and in some cases with other flavors and possibly tobacco extracts added? Don't quote me on that though, haha.
