Pure Vanilla from Mexico

[DuaneNeveu]

My wife has a friend that just returned from Mexico. She brought her back a 125ml bottle of "Vané 100% Mexican Pure Vanilla".

As soon as I smelled it, I wanted to vape it. Can I use that in my DIY recipes, and if so, would I use it just as I would my TPA and LorAnn flavours?

You could...

But, it will not be a strong flavoring and since it is produced for baking, and the like, there will be fats, aka: oils, that may play badly with your heating coil.

Why not try some and report back?

Their site says....

Made from 100% Mexican vanilla beans, grown and cured in Mexico. Our vanilla extract is made by macerating 100% Mexican vanilla beans in alcohol for an extended period of time. We do not use vanilla extractitives or other additives, with the exceptions of sucrose to mellow the flavor of our extract. We are proud of all of our pure vanilla products and are especially proud to bring you our pure vanilla extract!

The sucrose may play havoc on your equipment..

Ingredients
Mexican vanilla beans, alcohol (35%), sucrose, water

Sorry, yeah...forget to mention that the ingredient list looked fairly "safe".

Just keep in mind it may contain some Diacetyl from the extraction process. I ordered some organic alcohol-based vanilla from a place in Oregon and they told me it can naturally occur when extracting, when I asked them if it contained Diacetyl. I will probably still try it, but haven't yet.
