Simple safe nicotine extraction from any tobacco

OK..finished the experiment. Ended up taking hours!
After fooling around with it a bit I got it working really well by using 60ml VG in a long thin bottle that was buried in ice. I managed to seal the vapour in the bag quite well and it was pushing all the vapourized tobacco (446 degrees was the max my volcano could do) through the bottle.
The vapour entered in the bottle at the bottom and the bubbles rose slowly..took about 2 full seconds to reach the top. The bottle was sealed pretty good and there was nothing escaping so I have to assume the vapour was effectively being condensed.
The problem was, even though it was working perfectly, it required 4 minutes or so to effectively vapourize the tobacco of slightly less than 1 cigarette. Give I had 60 ml of juice it would require 120 cigarettes at 100% extraction and 10 hours of nonstop work to get 60ml of 30mg nicotine. The tobacco alone would cost me 45-50 bucks. Keep it mind that is based on an unattainable 100% extraction.
So in conclusion, I think theoretically it would work if time and money were not a consideration but I can't see how it could be viable even in the event we see a hardcore ecig ban.

Nice job Nuck 
I have some ideas to work with, now that I know the problems.
PS I found a simple method for an ancient pharma testing apparatus that extracts nicotine - even from green leaf. No chemicals. I'll try catch u this weekend sometime...

Simple sollution would be to grow your own tobacco. Theoretically you can get about 100 grams of dry tobacco per plant. Or about 100 cigarettes worth.
Simply planting these in your yard, 2 feet apart in the row, 4 feet apart between rows, could mean that a 16 foot by 16 foot square of your yard could grow aproximatley 3200 cigarettes worth of tobacco.
This would probably be enough nicotine for the average vaper to go at it for about a year.
If this is really too much for you, use pipe tobacco.

My concern about evap/condense is that one of the primary carcinogens in pure leaf tobacco is (believe it or not) Radon, which is a gas at room temp, can be in the tobacco leaf, but could be captured in the distillate. It does not take more than a few particles of an alpha emitter to do GREAT damage to the body, internally.
There are many who feel that it is primarily the radon in tobacco that is primarily responsible for the increased incidence of cancer in smokers.
Just one man's opinion. Everyone should have the right to play Russian Roulette in their own way.

OK... I saw in some thread where people were looking for a source to purchase pure nicotine. Is it legal for the average person to purchase nicotine from a chemical supplier? I found it somewhere and they dont say anything about legality. I've searched everywhere I can think of, and can't find anything specific.
Also, it's 100mL. How do you convert mL to mg of nicotine? I thought it would be in the MSDS, but that just has the Mol/mL.
Any info would be appreciated!

Your first post and you are already about to order a substance that can kill with a single spilled drop. I'd hate to be around you when you hit 10 posts!
LOL Just wait! I'm sure I'll be super-modding in less than two weeks! I read somewhere else about homeland security and watch lists.... I think I'll pass on the pure nicotine for now
thanks for the answer!
LMAO
classic...
nice experiment here though i am saddened that the results show its pretty much more economical to BUY 36mg stuff for now but oh well...
Just mention this: 24mg juice means 24mg/ml which is approximately 24ml/g - i.e. 2.4% nicotine. So pure nicotine would need to be diluted by about 40x
combust requires burning. There's no flame in a vaporizer, that's the point of it.
There IS burning in a cigarette. You are confused.

It is legal. You don't have to think in terms of mg if the nicotine is liquid. At 100% pure liquid nicotine, one ml added to 9 ml of pg/vg would be about the same as the 100mg nicotine per ml e juice that is being sold for a dollor or more per ml from the e-cig sites.
