Tobacco concentrate

[Perpetua]

Blergh . . . they look positively toxic Macca.

Frogs extraction method, is really very simple and straightforward . . . gives very good results as well.

[maccafan]

So if I read that correctly you put all the chopped up leaves mash into the muslin bag and sort of make tobacco tea using that as a tea bag and squeeze it to get the rest out..

Is that right?

[FirinBlanks]

Don't forget the heating it in a bain marie twice 24hr hours apart.

[Perpetua]

Essentially, just that Macca . . . although I've done my Bain Marie's minus the muslin, just so I can swoosh the leaves round better in the VG/PG/Vodka solution, then I strain it through muslin . . . using a pair of barbecue tongs to get the last dregs of concentrate out.

Ok thanks both..Must try this anon..

Maybe tomorrow..Need to buy some muslin..

[Perpetua]

If you've a Wilkinsons, Cookware or Crafting/Fabric store round your way, you should be able to buy some in those.

Failing that, Ebay Macca.

macca the muslin is a better way but you can strain it through coffee filter paper (very slow process) and through the syringe method placing mesh cotton pad and mesh again at the bottom of the syringe (very very slow but very thorough)

It works well macca, gives a lovely flavour. I use at between 20% to 25% in my mixes (along with other flavours etc) but I have to tell you, it is still an atty cloger, that is not a problem with those that have gennys or rebuildables, and is worth the effort.

You won't look back Macca, it's my all day vape now and I am loving it, The satisfaction of producing something that tastes better than anything I have bought over the last year is fantastic, all thanks to the very generous Froggy, I will never stop thanking him for sharing the best vape ever

[maccafan]

Thanks for sharing Frogster:

Have you tried these for filtering:

Lab Filter Paper

5ml per hour filtering rate but reported not to gunk up coils too much..

So where are you guys getting your tobacco to extract?

[maccafan]

I bought two samples from here. This is the least cost but only one variety.

tobaccouk.co.uk/tobacco-for-sale.php

Other UK sources with more varieties:

pureleaf.co.uk/

www.wholeleaftobaccoonly.com/

US source for bigger quantities:

www.leafonly.com/

I've got two sample packs coming from Pure Leaf, they come in 30g packs post free so only 49p dearer than tobacco uk for the same quantity and more variety. Dave

Macca, my last extraction was 1 Ltr of the stuff.... if you could just leave it to drip through it would be good, but I expect the filter paper to need changing every so often.... Long Job!!

But, In the interest of science, I will get some and give it a go.

Thanks...
