Origin of nic ejuice

[Bullette the Cowdog]

What no farmers here? L.O.L.
I am vary into agricultural business, and I can tell you that almost all tobacco in the U.S. is grown on family farms. Like most crops, tobacco is sold at auctions.

So a USA lab with USA PhD-type chemists could by-pass Big Tobacco to make our nic juice.
Hmmmm...
Groovy man...very groovy.

How much tobacco plant/leaves is needed to extract X amount of nic?
[the answer may be known, but i do not know the answer]

I ask because i am guessing that extracting nic in a lab is far more efficient that extracting it in trillions of small fires being lit every hour the world over. Basically, even if big-smokie is profiting from nic extraction, are they profiting less because of efficiency? But then is that efficiency nulled by the inefficiency of vaping?

[yes the 'trillions' of cigarettes per hour was likely an exageration]

In addition, anyone selling US-sourced nic made from US-sourced tobacco would be able to use that as a marketing tool, due to the rarity, the local sourcing advantage and the perception of quality. That isn't too visible just now.

Isn't this exactly what RTS vapes does?

ive watched documentaries and the farmers get their money either way from what ive heard lol. Government funded crop insurance pays if they have losses of crops. If I were an investor I would buy a cnc machine, and hire a good 20.00/hr guy that can do what I need to create a new atty. People are feens for those 120.00 - 200.00 rebuildable attys and are frustrated they cant find them.

Also, I would invest in property

My BIL says they use a nicotine powder in the pharmaceutical testing labs for testing purposes. I've never heard of nicotine powder.

Well, nic levels in e juice is measured in mg, not ml. That imply that nicotine solid is dissolved into the solution.

...

I don't know because I'm not sure how much is Lost during the Extraction of Nicotine.

But I believe that the Average Cigarette has about 10mg of Total Nicotine.

It is Actually Measured in mg per ml.

An 18mg e-Liquid implies that there is 18 Milligrams of Nicotine per 1 Milliliter of Volume.

All I know is that nicotine makes me smile.. either a magical pixie or Richard Grieco can be the one who puts it in my ejuice. I like my ignorant bliss.

Johnson and Johnson Health Care Products & Pharmaceuticals does just that as a matter of fact.
