The "feel" is kind of what I'm chasing in a sense. Nicoticket is the reason I'm making this extraction. I don't want to per say clone their juice, but what makes their juice so good to me is the buttery feel in the mouth that I get from vaping their juice. All the flavors that they have that I love all have the same common denominator, their naturally extracted vanilla. I know they don't achieve it by the vanilla extraction alone, but it does play a huge part in it. If I can get close to that "feel" I have endless possibilities as to what I can do for my own creations
It wouldn't matter if a cadre of taste testers said otherwise if YOU sense a change in taste that you don't like. That's why I suggested you follow a step-down process. You can always do a finer filteration, but you can't UN-filter a filtrate.
