Secrets

[montara]

OK, my time to give back to the community that has given much to me. I start this thread with my Secret, the secret ingredient I add to most all my juice. If you have a "something special" you care to share, please feel free to add.
So here it is, I call it T.E.A., tobacco Extract and Absolutes. It's my extra signature piece that adds that missing "something".

I mix a lot of juice and buy my flavorings in 4oz bottles so this yields 4oz of T.E.A.
Start with 20ml PGA (can substitute Everclear or 151 Rum) in a double shot glass.
Add 25 pipit drops TPA Tobacco Extract and 25 drops Tobacco Extract. Stir well, cover and let steep 24 hours.
After steep filter trough paper coffee filter, set aside.
Crush 4 tsp EM crystal into power with motor and pestle.
Microwave 120ml PG/VG to 130F (+/-)
Stir EM and T&E blend till mixed. Let steep 30 days. Add 1>4% to your next batch...

My all day vape includes T.E.A with cake batters... Now for your secret?

My "Secret" is the same as yours except I add apple cider vinegar. You shouldn't have told!

What does filtering it accomplish? Never have done such a thing in my DIY.

drops of vinagar in tobbacos,somtimes fruits,drops of sour in fruits brings flavor out,1 drop menthol concentrate per 10ml brightens fruits also,w/ no menthol taste actually tasted...a drop or two of purified medical inhalation saline water helps bakery flavors,tobaccos,think wat it does for food,that small of amounts dont bother my coils at all.they come in half ounce plastic vials its only .9% sodium chloride and made for inhaltion....ethyl maltol in tobbacos mellows,lightly sweetens depending on amount added...,sucralose concentrate drops w/ fruits sweetens and also adds strength in flavor....STEEPING makes every juice better,no amount of shaking and hot baths duplicates actual time as in weeks,it'll keep getting better,you'll notice the juice turning a daker shade,thats good....higher vg mixes 50%+ i notice flavors are less intense,i prefer 70pg-30vg seems to give best taste....its also VERY easy to over flavor,then tastes nasty,harsh,or an actual decline in flavor that'll mess ur tastebuds up 4 a whole day if vaping over flavored juice alot.i use mostly tpa/tfa,sum lorrans(dont care for artificial colors in those,wont be repurchasing)i start at 2% then adjust up if needed for tobacco's,and 5% and up as needed for the rest of flavors.

The TA & TE tend to leave floaters, I like my juice clean.

I had not heard about this... Sounds like a must try. So whats your source on these 1/2oz vials?
Also totally agree with you on the steeping. TIME is the only thing that makes a real difference. (well that and the sub-woofer shake)

Mine came w/ a nettipot,they have the same ones i got on amazon,pink plastic 5ml vials,looks like they only sell 100 at a time for$14...probably can find at pharmacy something similar deionized sterile saline.its only .9%,so the other 99% is distilled sterile h20.

THIS is worth the price of admission! I've been wondering how the heck I was going to get the "salty" in my pretzel... Thanks!

This may seem silly,but one of mine is adding in a drop or 2 to my tfa grape flavoring so the psychological factor of seeing the coloring,makes it seem more flavorful..

 

[DaveP]

And the trade secrets are revealed! Good stuff, guys! My DIY tends to run in the range of adding some Lorann's to a bland commercial juice. I have to dive into real DIY someday.

 

[k3vin]

I guess I should of posted a more clear secret.. I use tfa grape which is fairly clear, as I add a few drops of loranns to give it a slight shade of grape..

Here's an atty secret, although saw it posted on here some time ago and I have been cleaning my testing attys this way and have some that are over a year old. As a matter of fact they are so old the glue has weakened and sometimes the metal pulls away from the bridge and guts.. Lol
Boil in distilled water 5 min 3 times. Blow out from the bridge side after last boil. When cool of course. Then into the oven at 180 for 30 min.. A quick dry burn afterwards. And u too will have a brand new atty.. Some die in the process I think about 5 over a veryyyyy long period.. But it works...

Wow....I've heard Apple cider vinegar, going to try tomorrow

THAT is an amazing picture. Your stuff is so well organized and I'll bet the sub does shake the juice. Very cool. Thx for posting.

Interesting info... Bookmarked.

How much you add to say a 10ml bottle just a few drops?

 

[boomerdude]

One drop per 5mls. of Tobacco juices. Use Lemon Juice in the same amount for fruits/drinks/desserts.

I don't understand (not unusual). You are adding 25 drops TPA Tobacco Extract and 25 drops of your own extract?
Thanks!

I wish I had a secret to share but I don't.
