99.99% comes from tobacco. At least that seems to be the case.

It's derived from tobacco plants and more specifically nicotine heavy species like Nicotiana Rustica or Fumo Louco (Y-1). This is how/why the FDA considers liquid nic a tobacco related product. There is nicotine in other plants (like tomatoes), but the cost of extracting/purifying it is currently cost prohibitive. That may change if/when states impose heavy taxes on tobacco derived liquid nic.

Synthetic nicotine also exists but it cost prohibitive to make.

Yeah.

The Cost is So High to obtain say 54mg of Nicotine from say Eggplant (which I believe is the Next High Plant that contains Nicotine besides Tobacco) is because you need a LOT of Eggplant to be able to Extract 54mg of Pure Nicotine.

I think foxglove is the next highest after tobacco. Like most members of the nightshade family, it's a real chemical factory producing compounds you wouldn't want to vape - or ingest.

I think Foxglove has Digitalis (sp?) in the Flowers and or Leaves.

BTW - Here is a Chart of some Fruits and Vegetables that contain Nicotin

Check out How many Grams you would need to Make 1 Microgram of Nicotine.

Gonna Need a Whole Lotta Eggplant to make 54mg of Nicotine. Even at 100% Extraction.

And 54mg of Nicotine is what a Person uses per day if they Vape 3ml of 18mg/ml in 24 Hours.

I really Don't know?

I think there is a Huge Nicotine Extraction Thread on the ECF. I'm sure someone there would know.
