Scratch Juice

[one_raven]

I have seen several threads with people discussing how to build/repair atomizers in fear that they will be banned, therefore a source would be difficult or impossible to find.
I, personally think that fear is unfounded and a waste of time/energy.
Marijuana is illegal, but getting your hands on a .... or waterpipe is ridiculously easy.
If there is a ban instituted, there will not be much difficulty in finding/getting PV's - the difficulty will be in getting the juice.

Forgive me if this has been covered, but I have not come across a thread, and it is not easy to search from my phone...

How difficult is it to make the juice from scratch?
Where would you get the ingredients?
Where would one even start?

Is this a feasible option?

Sorry. I thought this sub-forum was just for flavoring and doctoring juice.
Just ignore this.
I would delete it if I could.

There is threads made on this topic all the time.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/1901-nicotine-extraction-method.html

is the most recent.

It can be done but you need a pretty advanced knowledge of chemistry. Boiling tobacco will not work, as you will get all the other nasty stuff in it, you might as well smoke then.

The link in the above thread to the madsceintist thread has the most info I have found. The op in that thread does say he can test results and thats the biggest issue. What chems are left over from processing and what quality is the nicotine. Some people are doing some pretty whacky stuff, from smoking apples soaked in tobacco, to trying to get nicotine from snus snuff.

Getting nicotine out of leaf seems to be about the same process as getting ....... out of coca leafs, which is not a simple boiling method. THC from pot is not a alkaloid, so all those whacky things the dopeheads do will not cross over to tobacco and nicotine extraction.

I personally will not try to extract nicotine without being able to test the results. nicotine is very toxic, if by some chance you are able to extract some and get a pure sample, it could kill you, with a very very small amount on your skin. With the way the big tobacco companys process tobacco you have no idea what is in it. American Spirit tobacco is the worst stuff you can buy, so do not kid yourself about it.
