Nets (naturally Extracted Tobaccos)

damn cape to cuba, beat me to the vanilla thing. let us know how it comes out, been wanting to do that myself for ages
 
a little alcohol to thin the VG is needed, then simmer to let the alcohol evaporate after straining.

Problem is that not all alcohol is removed from the processing afterwards, hence me thinking a good cognac or whisky solution with some pure alcohol + 80-90% VG can do the trick and also enrich the flavour.
 
This thread is so interesting, learning allot. Thank you guys for all your knowledgeable input.
 
mmm .. i have more thank half a 5 litre ice cream tin of my tabaco mix i use to smoke in the pipe, i will put some in a 50/50 PG/VG mix and forget about it for a wile and see wat happens

It will be great if i can get that taste extracted :)

Rum and Maple + Black & White + Boxer mix .. Yumm
 
Ok....quick note........tried the vanilla pod in PG. A full 4 weeks and some......liquid is rather dark. As for the taste - rather natural as expected BUT not very potent. This goes for the NET's as well. Bottom line is naturally extracted flavours are not as potent as the artificial ones and are rarely going to make a suitable mix on it's own. Where they shine for me is part of an overall recipe. If you have tasted Nicoticket's Frenilla and compare that to Naturally extracted (cold) vanilla pods you will realise that the success of frenilla is much more than a single naturally extracted component.

The fact is our tastebuds have been conditioned over the years by the food industry. Sometimes what we ascribe as "natural" is actually what we have become accustomed to as a particular flavour and may be nothing like the natural product e.g vanilla ice-cream.

Of the extracts I have tried thus far @Gazzacpt's Rum and Maple NET comes the closest to a stand-alone flavour as well as www.vaporize.co.za's black cherry NET.
 
Thats to bad mine is still steeping. Wich ratio of vanilla pods and pg did you use?

Thanks for info. I might put mine in 40 - 50 deg water twice a day to help with extraction.
BTW I also noticed the aroma is vey mild.

Just enough to cover the solids....

i was wondering (worried about my brew)...surely some of the active ingredients, especially flavour - like vanilla, might go off with the alcohol. "Volatile oils'' , means they have a low evaporation point. "Essential oils" are volatile oils in a carrier oil.
...?
 
did you cut the vanilla in any way?

I made 2 batches. The first was ground vanilla pods (powder form) and the second was whole pods which I slit open and then chopped into rough pieces so I would need much less PG to cover it .
 
I just had to share this with you guys. Not sure if you've seen it allready, but oh my does it look and sound delicious.
 
Got cloves, coffee, vanilla and black pepper bussy extracting. Gonna give it a lot of time. If it pans out I will get some decent tobacco to extract. Let's hold thumbs!
 
i would LOVE to get my hands on some of this... really... my mouth is just watering now!
