Let me know how the dark chocolate truffle is..........I sniffer from here!

Well the chamomile I've left to sit for a while, not had much time to work with mixing it yet, however have to say it smells just like the real thing....**wonders if it would still work for calming nerves and tummies?**

Yeah, Please let us know if it calms the nerves or makes you sleepy! That would be a great vape. ;)

I used to DREAM about the possibility of eCigs giving me a caffeine boost, but in the end it just ain't gonna happen. I've read up on it a lot and any juice with enough caffeine to have an effect would be sludge. Still, vaping tea has got to be better for you than nic. Might have to give it a shot with my old standbye, Plantation Mint.

I tried it with VG. It works well. I just used 20% distilled water because as you know vg is THICK. You could try less water or sub in some PGA (pure grain alcohol) if you want.

OT: See the little dots under your PGA? If you hoover over it a definition will pop up. Just thought I would let you know that you don't have to type out the definition of most vaping verbiage. :)

Did this with VG... Really thick when it came out, but cut it down with some vodka. Used lipton vanilla truffle or whatever... Had it left over from my ptb carts. almost thinking I may need to cut it down with more vg/vodka... Really really flavorful vape, almost too much so. Could probably get away with just using the vg for a flavor in all honesty, just gotta let it sit for a day or two and steep before straining/using.

Also, I didn't realize you just dropped the tea bags into the hot juice, so others may want to do what I did... Let it sit for about an hour (after cutting open teabags and blending it real well) and then use said tea bags to filter. I shot it through the bag with a medicine dropper.

all this being said, i'm not sure how tea will affect someone who happens to be vaping it... I also got a semi-rush from it... kinda seems like it may clog up your atty a bit as well, so be careful.

I did this with plain black tea (pyramid bags) and loved it for awhile. I put it away when I started to play with. lot of Capellas, and pulled it out again recently.....yuk. It tasted like old tea....you know that flavor when you mix up. batch of iced tea and let it sit (even refrigerated) for a few days? That one. I'll do this again, but only extract the amount I think I'll use in a relatively short period of time. IMO this isn't good for long time storage if real tea based. Herb teas may have a different result....?

I do not think the citric acid does any harm, it's it's mainly performing the same function as adding vinegar, lowering the PH.

This tread made me think. Since this works wit tea that are mixed with berries, it should work for the berries themself.
Either one can take pieces of berries from a tea-bag, or dry some oneself. Hesitating a bit on using fresh berries(mainly due to the excess moisture), but dried berries should work fine.

Imagine picking your own blueberries, raspberries, strawberries etc. and infusing them in pg or vg to enjoy the taste of summer and autumn next winter... :vapor:

That sounds like a great idea, I might just have to try this

I love the idea of this. I came here to this thread being new to ecf looking for diy info and i have pg and vg coming in the mail right now. Im so gonna try this with my favorite black tea, ginger peach. I have all my tea tools too like my infuser so doing it loose leaf will be a snap. Has anyone found out whether straight pg, straight vg, or a mix of both is a best base for this? Trying to avoid trial and error here.
