Nets (naturally Extracted Tobaccos)

So I filtered my net and mixed some up all I can say is cold extraction works. I have sampled a bit and its decent needs to used in a mix I get the sweet smell of pipe tobacco but I'm not entirely happy. Also I think I might need to get finer filters because this stuff fouls coils very quickly. Going to try again with some organic virginia and see what happens its definately something I'm keep trying. Will post finding here from time to time remembering it takes 4 weeks per extract.

From what I have read, almost no nicotine gets extracted in this way - negligible.

Why, does it need solvent? Nicotine not extracted by PG/VG?
So it needs to be used with nic base PG/VG.

How did you filter it?
Use in a mix? With nicotine base, or do you mean mix with other flavours? You get the nice smell but no taste - not much taste?

Filtering wise what worked for me was one or two cotton balls stuffed in a food flavour injector.

That seems very coarse? Even more coarser than a coffee filter papers. What about the gunking/clogging?

Oom @Andre I did the big syringe with cotton after passing it through coffee filters about 5 times so maybe I did something else wrong going to filter what I have left through some small micron lab filters and see if it changes anything.

Would ss mesh maybe not work? I know they use ss mesh in labs and such to filter various liquids, but I don't know what density they use of course
 
i suppose the benefit would be that it doesn't absorb anything. But you'd need a ultrasonic cleaner to clean it.
 
I guess, just thinking that with cotton you would have no consitancy as cotton is flexable , with #400 mesh for example, you know nothing bigger than the hole size (0.037mm for #400) will go through - every single time, no matter what you do.

It will probably take ages to filter through though :)
 
Now i've started reading about pipe tobaccos...
Aromatics - seems to mean flavoured, like Rum &Maple and so on. i dunno if it's good or not to have flavourants in the tobacco, rather than add e-liquid flavours as desired. Mac Baren, Danish, flavourants used; English tobacco did not allow flavourants.
i wonder whether they sometimes put stuff like saltpetre in it, like they do with cigarette tobacco.
 
i've got the urge to get a pipe and smoke pipe tobacco.....Transvaal and Rhodesian tobacco...:smoke:

OK this is a NET, but of the vanilla type :D. I bought a test tube with 2 vanilla pods. I sliced them in half long ways, added PG and closed cap. I have kept in in a dark cupboard for 12 days, 2 more to go. Every second day I took it out turned it upside down gently a few times and put back. Cannot believe how dark the PG has become.

Awesome, that could be a winner. You bought that pods in the test tube? Where?
Yes, I like NEV (Naturally Extracted Vanilla)!
I was given it by a friend who could not remember. You are close to Langebaan? Well there is an importer there called Vanilla Man, site is www.vanillaman.co.za

Welness Warehouse is www.wellnesswarehouse.com/shop/foodmarket/herbs-spices-stock/herbs-spices/vanilla-pods-5-pods-in-glass-tube/ ... says no stock

Lastly Woolworths, but no tube http://www.woolworths.co.za/store/f.../product-details-index.jsp?productId=20169817
 
wow - i am a noob, but i just got some great ideas!!! thanks goes out to all the posters in this thread - seriously inspired for some home made extracts....will have to invest in some woolies product. and mason jars....and a few litres of VG..... yum

VG does not extract effectively as far as I know, PG does.
 
Yea in terms of flavour extraction, pure grain alcohol > PG > VG. But alchohol needs to be cooked off before you use it, maybe a bit brave for a DIYer
 
mmmm but i have patience....

and a pressure-cooker.....

dang it. dont want pg... i'm vegan.
:-D
 
HP, bain-marie or doubler boiler at a low temp would be your best bet. Get a nice food termometer or somethingng to monitor it. There's a lot of BS floating around, but personally I'd give that stuff a good kick at like 50-60c for 15 minutes and see how it goes from there.
