Here's an update. Sorry for the delay, too much going on IRL.
Extract has been sitting with a turn or two of the jar (mostly) daily for 21 days. 3 rounds of heat to 120 degrees F. Ambient room temp 85 degrees F.
When tongue tasting, the Vanilla flavor is very present. There is a distinct woody flavor that tells me using just the seed scraping would have been a better route...not offensive, just not the pure Vanilla I'm after. The nose is Vanilla, woody and a slight hit of Chocolate.
I mixed a 50/50 no nic base with 10% then 33% extract.
I did a quick zap to blow the alcohol off, but there is still some water in solution.
Tasted in a 1.3 ohm single coil dripper on Rayon. 7 to 25 watts.
The 10% sample was pretty void of Vanilla flavor. So I upped it to 33% (that's just how it calculated out bringing my sample back up to 2 ml)
The Vanilla was present but weak with a solid woody overtone. My initial thought was that the flavor profile would work in a tobacco vape...Bakery, not so much.
I did take a .5 ml sample and blew the alcohol off and tasted that. I can now say I know what vaping water is like...
no vapor production and pretty much no flavor (nothing there to carry the flavor).
So, I'll let this go another 9 days to the full 30 day mark and check it again.
PGA is a really effective solvent, speedy. I am curious what a cold PGA extraction would produce. My only real issue right now is the woodiness. When pay day rolls around I'll pick up some sugar free paste or caviar and give that a whirl.
