Wow, I wish i knew about producing NETs a few years ago. I've mainly done the heat maceration method in a crock pot with some success, but holy-gunk-a-molly no matter how many times I filter my concentrate it makes vaping it a real pain. My understanding is that the PGA method is better for atomizers, which I admittedly have yet to try simply because 190 proof everclear has to be ordered out of state. From reading the cold maceration thread, it doesn't appear that its much better on the atties either, which makes me sad. But then again I don't really want to wait 4-6 weeks before I can start vaping and experimenting with flavors. So yeah, I'm impatient too.
One post that caught my eye was from billherbst, where he mentions that some vendors use a steam distillation process for their tobacco flavors and I was hoping that I could get more info. From my understanding, steam distillation creates an essential oil, and vaping essential oils is not only bad for your atties but also bad for your health?
Has anyone tried this? What are the results? Are we stuck with PGA and cold/heat macerations? Is there no salvation?!
Edited to add:
I'm also aware of the thread on steam distillation, however that really didn't answer the questions I have. Hopefully this can be a discussion that produces more idea's on how to make NET flavors than the generally accepted methods. What else can we do? Is it possible to use steam distillation on the PG macerations?
