Tobacco concentrate

[FirinBlanks]

Well, here's to my first attempt. Chopped, mushed and cooked, now with cling film on and hiding in a dark place (until tomorrow's mushing and cooking and straining) is this...

A bottle of GV Tobacco Concentrate are on their way to Goofy & Gordy . . . be great if you gents can let us have an opinion on it, us mixers would love some feedback on our magical elixir.

vapemail arrived today and with it came a sample of Mandy's Magical Elixir

as soon as i unpacked it i gave it a quick drop on the finger taste test.... hhhmmm defo tobacco with a sweet edge... i thought to myself im gonna like this... but decided i would wait till the evening to give it a good DCA drip test

evening came around so armed with DCA i gave it a few drops... now forgive me here as describing flavours isnt my forte, specially for tobacco flavours as i used to smoke menthol as regular cigarettes were too harsh for me but i have found vaping tobacco flavours much more agreeable.

on the inhale i could instantly detect a full flavoursome vapour entering my mouth but as Perpy said its the exhale where this juice really shines ...the flavour is so full and deep, nothing like i have ever had before... very very pleasant

the sweetness i had tasted with my finger taste test wasnt as evident in the vape but thats not a bad thing as it makes it a more authentic tobacco taste... there isnt any edges to it either, just a nice tobacco flavour, rich and smooth ...love it

im now thinking this DIY tobacco leaf steeping is probably something i will be doing in future ... seems so easy with fantastic results ...thank you Perpy for opening up a new world of juice to me

Lovely isn't it Gordy you should defo do it yourself, nice on it's own and as a base for mixing it is easy and dirt cheap, only wish Froggy had joined a year ago and got us onto this #icon_thumbsup#

[Gordy]

what leaves have you tried Sandra? Mandy's was golden virginia ...if i had to nail a juice that it was closes to i would say storm but nicer

[timnowvapes]

...no one tempted with just leaves then

.......just me then - would be so nice in a pipe

..............right I'm off before I get people into trouble and myself

Must admit I was slightly tempted when I was cutting mine up as I still have several pipes in the house. Dave

Fantastic, so you pleased you enjoyed it Gordy . . . and thank you for posting your thoughts.

I do love my sweetie and fruity flavours, but this is making such a fab change . . . there's a certain irony in liking a juice made from steeped tobacco leaves isn't there.

No temptation from me Tim, but then I don't possess any pipes . . . made up, this is the closest I've had to a real cigarette for a good while, which I'm very content with.

Hi Everyone,

Pureleaf.co.uk is my company. I noticed a number of visitors originating form this site, so I thought I would pop over and see what the site was about.
I'm impressed with everything I have read on here. It's all very informative. I had no idea tobacco leaf could be used for this.
As a way of a thanks I thought I would post up a 10% discount code which will also add a free sample of Canadian Flue Cured to all orders that use it.

Voucher - ECIG

Kind Regards
Joe

Well Done Joe, gonna go order now, that Canadian sounds lush!!

Fortunately I'm working on a few more ideas at the moment so I wont need the tobacco concentrate untill they're done so I can (hopefully) forget about them and leave them for a good 10 days or so.

I finally got some spare time last night to mix some of it up myself I'll be honest, to begin with i didnt really like it all that much for some reason........ maybe just getting too used to the sweet flavours ive been vaping ??? Stranger still, i'm sitting here on my lunch break and i seem to have gone through nearly half a vivi nova full of the stuff in the last half hour........ i cant put it down now My tastebuds seem to be changing almost every day hahaha. Think i'll try mixing another batch up with maybe a few drops of sweetener......... maybe a touch of vanilla or something......... good fun! Cheers again Perpy Think i'll have to order some of the leaf up myself!

[Perpetua]

It's almost an acquired taste, going back to a ' real ' tobacco flavour I've found Goofy, bizarre when you consider that's what we were used to.

I've mixed mine with some Vanilla/Caramel and a couple of drops of Dulce de Leche and I love it.

My friend is vaping it neat, hasn't even Mentholated it, which is a miracle!

Canadian flue cured
