Been following the thread down in the nic forum for some time now... decided to give it a go in the sort of wholly unscientific, unsafe manner they repeatedly warn against. The result? Great success.
As I am totally bereft of any sort of lab gear, I improvised a bit. Here's what I did.
Ingredients-
Can o' Bugler rolling tobacco
Box of baking soda
Bottle of olive oil
Bottle of 1000mg vitamin c tablets
Tap water
Equipment-
French coffee press
coffee filters
a see-through plastic cup
another couple of cups
cookie sheet
oven
"Flavor injector" (large syringe thingy)
Method-
Dumped some baking soda on the cookie sheet, popped it in the oven on "broil" for a while. Watched an episode of "Red Dwarf". Turn off oven, pulled out cookie sheet. Got about a cup of hot water from the tap, put in french press. Added sodium carbonate (the heat-decomposed baking soda) until it stopped dissolving. Added tobacco until I had a soggy mush. Watched another episode of "Red Dwarf". Pressed the tobacco mush to squeeze out the water. Poured in some olive oil, agitated it a bit with the screen. Gave it one final squeeze to get all the good bits out of the tobacco and poured off the resulting sludge into the see-through plastic cup. In the other cup, a little hot water and a handful of vitamin c tablets. Let them dissolve a bit, then poured off into another cup through a coffee filter. Watched another episode of "Red Dwarf". By this time, the sludge had separated out into yellow, translucent oil and dark brown water. Sucked up about 50ml of oil into the flavor injector, followed by the acidified vitamin c water, about 20ml. Shook it up. Marveled as it transformed from clear to a dark, coppery brown. Inverted it, watched another episode of "Red Dwarf", then squeezed off the oil into the sink. Put a little sodium carbonate in another cup, squeezed out the water into the cup, mixed it up, then sucked it back up. Mixed the result at about 1:4 into some 70/30 pg/vg blend (lime and menthol) and vaped.
Good god, I got that lovely "first cig in the morning" woozy feel. A wave of relaxation. It was beautiful. Easy, cheap, and beautiful. I've seriously been going nuts for the last few months at work- I'm in the Navy on a sub, so smoking is no longer an option. vaping straight nic keeps me from killing people, but I've been a wreck... completely ADD, unable to focus, couldn't get anything done. I think I've got my fix, now.
Thanks, DVap, kinabaloo, tceight, tescela and virk... you literally may have saved my career.
If anyone wants to post this over in the beta carboline thread for me, I'd be much obliged.

This is sooo over my head.
