Tob. Absolute and PGA

[ncvaping]

Question: Will the PGA in a tobacco Absolute mix evaporate out if the bottle is left open to steep/air out with no top or dropper in the bottle. Leaving you with the flavor of the tobacco Absolute with out the alcohol taste. If so how will this oxygen affect the nicotine in the mix.

First, congratz! Your sense of taste is very high. You can taste tiny amounts of a substance I cannot taste in large amounts. (I can feel PGA, but cannot taste it when drinking it.)

Yes, it will evaporate out, slowly as it is suspended, but it will come out.

Yes, the nicotine will also react to oxygen at the same time which gives a bitter copper flavor to my taste. (I suspect it would taste different to you.)

If you are doing your own TA dilutions, you may want to try just PG and heat. It will be tougher to mix completely, but I suspect it will mix together if the TA and PG is kept fairly warm during mixing. When mixing it is typical to warm the TA before adding it to PGA anyway, so it shouldn't be too much more effort to warm the PG in the same water bath.

Thanks Hoosier I thought it would evaporate out but was not sure as to the effect it would have on the Nic. I think that I have finally found the right combo of tobacco flavors to get me what I have been searching for, for over a year now. Hopefully my taste do not change now that I have found it. Made a 5ml batch last week and steep it and have vaped it all day so now I am sitting here making a 30ml batch. I just hope that my notes for the 5ml batch when converted over to a 30ml batch have the same taste. I'll let it steep for a week or so and guess I will find out. Enough rambling, just excited to have finally found what I have been looking for. Thanks again for the conformation about the PGA.
