Well I made some coffee extract today as part of my flavor adventure. I took a shot glass (made of glass) and put several ml of PG into it, then added an equal amount of ground coffee. Then put in into the microwave for 6 seconds, and yes that's all it takes. Stirred it while hot for a minute, folded a paper napkin stuck it on top and used my juice syringe to suck out the coffee extract. Pretty potent stuff, only need a few drops.
Just mixed some up and it taste great. I made it because I thought adding a small amount of coffee extract to mild tobacco flavors might enhance them adding a little robustness and I can always mix up a strong batch mixed with honey, vanilla, brown sugar for an awesome cappuccino juice.
Forgive my ADD, but I'm not getting a clear picture of something.
You folded a napkin and stuck it on top.
What, on top of the shot glass, I'm guessing?
Then used a syringe to suck out the extract?
What, you stuck the needle through the napkin? If so, why use the napkin?
Could you have just poured the extract through the napkin into another
container to filter it?
I'm gonna try this if I can get it into my fat head.
Also, if this works so well, then it should work with a good leafy tea. This
opens a coupla doors for lots of juices.
I used an oral syringe (blunt plastic nozzle point). I took a small square 3"x3" of paper towel, folded it a couple times and set it on top of the coffee/pg 50 50 mix. Pressed the syringe nozzle lightly against the towel and slowly sucked up the extract filtering everything but the liquid. If you have a syringe that has a skrew off needle, you can unskrew it and use the blunt nozzle to suck the extract faster. Also you can use a Q-tip or cotton ball instead of paper towel.
You can pour it through a filter if you want using gravity. I use my method because it's quicker and cleaner. You have to use a filter to suck the extract through otherwise it will clog up the syringe before you get any juice.
I drink instant coffee - ouch
damnit.. why dont i understand..? can i get a dummy proof step b y step XMACKX?
so far i understand that i have to get some coffee beans.. ground them up... till they are like dust right?? lol
this is where i get confused.. how much do i put in the shot glass? do i mix it with maybe a 5ml mix of nic,pg, and vg?? what next..
Dam, We will work out a trade. I will trade you diy ejuice for the diy wicks and coils lol I am not very successful at that, I have 5 left thumbs I think. One day I will grow up and actually be able to use the rads lol
