Vaping Tea

[asnider123]

We've been having a discussion over at new-smoke about making a tea e-juice .. so tonite I tried it. Here are the results.

1. I took about 15-20ml (haven't measured it yet) of PG in a tiny saucepan, slowly heated it just to the point that it started vaporizing, then pulled off of the stove

2. Into the warm liquid, I please one Lipton Pyramid teabag (Bavarian Berry flavor, made of natural black tea to which was added real dried blackberry, blueberry and raspberry pieces) and let it steep in the liquid for about 15 minutes, swirling around a few times

3. I took my eye-dropper and pulled out a few drops of the liquid. I dripped 2-3 drops into an atty and

WOW!!!! Nice flavor (mostly the berries) and tons of vapor. No NIC, no VG, no nothing, just tea in PG

It may be by imagination, but I got a little buzz, kinda like you get from slugging down a big redbull ... guess it is an efficient caffeine delivery system LOL

Anyway, this stuff may just break me of my nic habit, how about that?

Anyone have a reason why I should NOT vape this concoction? I can't think of any.

Merry Christmas

Update .. it yielded 25ml of juice (and the teabag soaked up a little) .. so the original PG was more like 26-28ml ...

Good deal, 25ml of caffeine berry juice for practically nothing LOL

Let's see the FDA ban herbal tea hohoho

Now watch this become commercially available soon

That actually sounds pretty good! I have no clue if its good to vape or not but ya know, when one gets desperate . . .

I've done a similar using chamomile, there's also a thread about coffee diy steeping;

[samuelmunro]

doing the same with some lapsang souchong might be right on the money

I have made both, coffee and raspberry tea and they are both wonderful, the tea has a really nice clean taste and the raspberry comes through really well, its delicious! I just have to restock my kitchen one of these days and play with some more reductions, I think the possibilities are endless.....

Thanks for the link, I am making my first batch of coffee extract, Gevalia Dark Chocolate Truffle, thanks to you. Followed instructions 2 a T, except I used a 1/2 oz (25ml) vial, so if I understand correctly, I should have about 12ml of extract when it finishes filtering (tomorrow morning probably). Smells wonderful

I don't see how this can be bad, sounds like a new marketing idea

i used equal amounts of coffee grounds to PG/VG mixture to make my extract and it seems to work for me

I used pure PG in the extract. I will prob wind up with 50/50 mix when I finish my juice

Gonna' try it with Sleepytime tea...did it with coffee a couple weeks ago. Just waiting for my bottle of PG to arrive.

 

[asnider123]

Coffee still filtering..how long is it gonnna take? LOL

It does take a while! And of course, the longer you let it sit before filtering, the more flavor it extracts. I know someone who lets it sit 2 weeks or more before filtering...

 

[Allan.GH]

My mind jumped to the possibility that, by introducing things like the berries and such, there might be a perishability issue with juice storage over time. Don't really know, but it's something to think about. I might try that with some green tea and blueberries, myself.

I have some Earl Grey steeping now. I love to drink the stuff, so thought I would try to vape some.
Also Southern Pecan Cofee, and wintergreen mint.

I would love to know how the sleepytime works out, I love the stuff! How was the chamomile?

OK, I have another container that is marked "do not open til New Year's Day" .. LOL

From my understanding sleepytime (used to ) contain(s) poppy seeds, just an FYI.
