Biv I have honestly not done a cost analysis. I do it as a hobby, for fun. I started out doing it to see if I could do it, and nobody was more surprised than me when they turned out good.

Keep in mind though, that even my extractions have 36mg unflavored nicquid (not Nicaragua, as my stupid autocorrect wants to change it to LOL) added in amounts ranging from 33-50% The tobacco concentrates probably have about 2-5mgs nic by themselves, but they would kill your atty in a second if you tried to vape them straight.

Scarfy, how much nic is in the Montecristo? Any idea?

I made it with 33% of a 36mg nicquid, so "officially" 12mg, plus whatever was in the cigar. To me, it felt like about 16-18 mg judging from the throat hit. I vape it and it doesn't cause nic fits or chain-vaping, so it serves its purpose (I normally vape 18mg).

That a vague enough answer? :D Sorry.

Has anyone here tried extracting nicotine from snus? The threads I've read seem kind of inconclusive as to whether or not there was a useful amount of nicotine extracted. Plus isn't snus kind of salty?

I have a very large stash of premium cigars and pipe tobacco that I want to extract flavor from (tried a small batch from a Cuban cigar using the quick extraction method and it is great!) and I would really like to be able to DIY extract a serviceable amount of nicotine and have the ability to be self sustaining vape-wise if possible.

That was a good answer. If I had to guess, it was in my range. I'm an 18mg vaper. It is a very pleasant vape. I'm still vaping it. I take a few pulls of it and then put it down and come back to it. Has a nice flavor.

Wow. I got a very distict tobacco alongside the other flavor which I have yet to figure out, possibly vanilla. What juice delivery system do you use?

Thanks to every one who contributed to this thread... It has made #2 on ECF's Top 3 Most Viewed Threads of 2012, only behind "Older Folks and Vaping". It is cool how many people this thread may have helped find out about the world of NETs :)

Wow, I don't know what to say about this.

Anyhow, it's good to be back.

Clearly the "views" are not counted for suppliers cause the Zenesis thread, before it closed last year, had 2,339,580 and just short of 90,000 posts. No thread is coming close to that in just a year, but I am happy that a thread, this thread, made out of the mind of an ECFer reached this status -- though I am still a little befuddled by how they ranked the views, but who cares?!

My only hope is that this thread does not devolve into a race to see what's new as opposed to what is actually worth being vaped and reviewed. And on that note, I am letting the new Patriot get to room temperature for a day before I try it.

How did you get on without vaping supplies Mr. M?

It was super hard after touching down in Vegas, but it was nothing after I got settled in. I met up with Tez, Blue Swallow and Hellerhighwater and had a nice vape session on the next day, so I didn't go completely without. I am here to say, I did not freak out without nic for the few days without it and may have only had a slight headache one day, but I can not be sure what that was due to. I also will say that the first vape upon return had the most incredible throat hit that made the absence worth it.

Probably my favorite reviewer of all time! His reviews of the Jazz Cartopipe and Ploom are pretty priceless too. I love how he manages to get that "home movie circa 1986" feel in his videos, and of course the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hat which just so happens to have his initials on it!

Haven't seen you round these parts much lately. Hi:)
