VG Pipe Tobacco Essense

[rolf]

just cooked up two different pipe tobaccos in slow cooker 26 hrs first "filter"throw a kitchen strainer lined w cheese cloth to get the bulk .then used my redneck filter ...silly but it works .this only prove of concept to build something ,maybe a tower with heat and pressure ...hairdryer ? used pg for extraction . smells good .
still steeping but tried some in rba nice! somebody mentiond using 45 micron syringe filter ..will look into that .
I am sure somebody will com up with a better mousetrap.

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you to the OP. Lots of information in this thread and after reading it, have made my own successful batch and it is delicious. Nice filter method btw rolf. I may tinker with building something along those lines myself soon.

i trying to do a extraction now using vodka. I had tried using pg but found the results not as effective. Anyone tried using alcohol and if so what were your results?

Wow! That is awesome! What does the essence look and taste like after four filters like this? I expect the filters themselves absorb a lot of liquid.

A valuable thread. I made some of Kurt's PTE this weekend, and it's an excellent vape. Thanks so much Kurt.

I used the slow cooker method and I used #400 mesh to filter. I ran it thru the mesh 4 times. The results are astounding. I suppose the $25 cigar didn't hurt the process either.

I did do Kurt's PTE method about a month ago and I'm just now getting around to playing w mixing the "thickness". It is really good.

It took me over a year to find juice I love, NETs. I started DIY a couple weeks after I discovered NETs and I haven't purchased juice in months.

hi kwalka
does the cigar extract clog your attys as fast as extracts made from pipe tobacco ?
seems the sugar levels should be lower .I think the sugar clogs the attys and not particles.
any ideas to remove sugar ? without hurting the taste ?
good idea to use 400 mesh !! rolf

I am getting serious wick clogging at the coil site with all my juices. Hard to say if 1 is doing more than another. Every 2 days I flip my wick over, because its clogging at the coil site. So Im going thru a wick every 4 days. After I flip it once and 2 days passes I toss the wick. This is with mesh.
I am using the steel cable and it never clogs. The stuff is incredible and is going to be the death of mesh, IMO. No clogging at all. I hava a few gennys that have had the cable in them for weeks and I haven't removed the cable cuz its as good as day 2. They take about 36 hrs to fully saturate.

The 400 mesh filter was BJ43's idea.

hi kwalka
thanks for the come back...I hate to plead ignorance ...what is this steel cable ?? where can I find info on that ?the last threads I followed were the aquarium stone wicks . any threads on that on ecf or a link?
this sounds fascinating

Here it is. This is better than mesh. It cuts w a cheap pair of very small bolt cutters ($6 at Ace). You cut it to length and torch it. Thats it. It takes all of 5 mins to install a wick. Some peeps are wrapping 1 or 2 layers of mesh at the coil site only. I don't do that. It actually seems to store juice as well as wick it. It takes about 24 hrs before its fully saturated, but its quite use-able as soon as its installed. It does come in diff diameters for diff wick holes, and it can be held in a U shape and torched while held like that and it retains the U shape quite nicely.

Kwalka - just to check...the comment "this is better than mesh" refers to the 2mm or have you also tried the 3/32 or 1/8?

lol... just noticed... ebay has this listed under "vitamins and minerals"

You can also get this cable/rope at tractor Supply. I called after I got home, but they couldn't verify the grade. $1.49/ft. For what it's worth, TS also has great deals on syringes as well as PG.

Better than mesh. I have been using the cable for a few weeks. Ive been using mesh for at least 6 months. So that statement is my opinion saying the cable is much quicker and easier to work with, lasts longer, and performs at least as good if not better. So I foresee it over taking mesh as the wick of choice.

I do have a couple diff sizes. I also wrap w mesh if I need to make up a mm or so in width. I dont remember off the top of my head what sizes I have.

thanks kwalka !
just ordered ...I think I will try it straight and also with cheese cloth wrap.
still have my cable cutters from my aircraft building days .
thank a bunch ...rolf

Since I started vaping NETs about 6 months ago, I too get serious mesh clogging. I have found that a single mesh wick can be re-torched and re-wired about 20 times before replacing it.

Kurt, I forgot to say that because of this thread, I am now an ECF supporting member! I suppose that means that the IRS will audit me now!

hi kwalka
just got the rope in feet of ss t316....7by 19 25 feet for 10 bucks .
also looking for my cable cutter found a roll of my old rope it is a little thicker and not as flexebel ..used it in a aga t
even that works fine .ithe thread cover is not the answer now it looks like the coil is on the bare rope wit a liitle build up and even vapes better now .the thread I used was from cheesecloth. maybe cig paper ? also have some ribbon kanthal coming
the buildup is less now but I will still experimenting with it . washing the gunk of the coil is not so successful either .
thanks again for the ro pe tip.........rolf ....rope is 25 feet
