Since i was asked to write something about how i vape tobacco extract, i will try to do an introduction; sorry for my english and sorry if i mix a lot of things together.
First of all, only in italy and swiss there are producer that makes REAL ORGANIC tobacco extract/flavour: they aren't pricey (around 8 euro, sintetic flavour are around 5/8 euro in italy, both 10 ml). They are mixed around 2 to 10%, depends on the brand.
About nicotine: even if it is REAL tobacco, the nicotine is totally filtered from in it even if there are really small leftovers, under 1% of concentration in 10ml of flavour, after u mixed it at 10% in a nicotine free base u have at best a 0,1% nicotine liquid, pretty much nothing.
That is the situation after vaping 3ml (yes, 3ml, not 30 or 300) of kentucky extract a 4%, a tobacco normally used for cigars; the build in the photo: it is a 30g ss coil, 6 wrap on a 2,5mm support, around 0.95/1.05 Ω vaped around 13 or 14 watt, the atom is a by-ka v8, an atomizer made in belarus.
Even if it is all black and dirty u can wash it, remove the wick, made a dry burn and put new cotton and use it for another 3ml, maybe 4.
I vape with normal wattage, by using temperature control with a good box mod, perfect wicking u can easily do 10 or 15ml but nothing more.
On the extracts: u can vape only one single tobacco type (like i did in the photo) or the are some mixtures that mix different tobacco types, for example the english mixture, a mix of virginia, oriental and latakia that recreate the real english mixture that anyone who smoked a real pipe tried, some mix that recreate cigar, like the cuban one or the italian toscano.
There are also tobacco mixed with fruit or with creamy notes, like custards or biscuit.
Color of the flavour english mixture:
after mixing it at 3% in a 50/50 base:
About mixing, steeping and conservation: ONLY USE GLASS: tobacco is full of sugars that eat some type of plastic.
I personally use a shake&vape brand, the more u wait for vaping it, the more flavour and notes u lose; there are some brand that are the opposite, they need at least 2 months of steeping, more is the wait more is the flavour and the aromatic notes. If u need a long steeping, there should be not more than 10% of air in the bottle since it can "oxidized" some molecules, and always prefer dark glass rather than the normal one since light does the same as air.
How to vape them: whatever material u like (kanthal, ss, ni80, nife48 etc), around 10 or 17 watt: at higher temperature u will cook the tabacco killing the real flavour
Ω: think a coil, and then use steam engine to know the best wattage, don't do nothing too crazy, u can use something between 0.80 to 1.50, i personally stay around 0.90/1.10 Ω
Wire: i like simple wire but u can try twisted or clapton, always stay low on wattage, i used from 27 to 30 gauge, 26g is really too much for mtl
Base: i use a simply 50pg 50vg, i don't even bother to calculate the pg in the flavour since i always do at 3%, so i end with a 53pg/47vg; there are some people who add water in it for a 50/40/10 or 45/45/10, the water use is a double distilled water (remember the double, simple distilled water isn't good)
Atomizer to use: ofc an mtl one, with air holes under 2mm, same for the hole under the coil; there is a lot more to say, it was just for saying don't use thing like wasp nano with an mtl build, it will be terribile. I use only RTA, but there are really good BF or RDTA atoms good for tobacco.
Can i extract my own tobacco since i can't find any tobacco extract where i live? Yes, there are a lot of ways, first of all use a tobacco without pesticide or chemical additives and then simply google how to do it, i can't do a guide since i never do it and it isn't very simple; i can link some guides in private if needed
If u have any question feel free to ask, sorry again for my english.
