Tobacco Absolute?

[KC Steamer]

tobacco Absolute. Different from tobacco flavoring in that absolute is derived from real tobacco where as flavoring is not. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has used absolute and comments on their experience. Taste? Mixing? Since derived from real tobacco do you intake some of the same chemicals and toxins as when smoking a cigarette? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

I've been wondering about that myself. I know of some juice recipes that call for it but, I haven't tried it. What I'd really like to know is what toxins are present but, everything I've been able to find talks about fragrance.

I tried to talk about it once. See...

Some don't even think about it, some decide they don't care, others stay away from it. To each their own.

I try to be tobacco free. Not that that's a guarantee or anything, but I choose to avoid it. I appreciate vendors that tell me if TA is in their juice or not. Since I DIY most of my juice, I currently use the RY4 from PA that is "artificial flavor" rather than extract. When ordering a tobacco flavored juice, check the site and see if they say anything.

I steeped tobacco in PGA.
Didn't bother to reduce the extract.
Produces a mild flavor that I like.
