I guess I'm not typical of members of this site. For way too many years I smoked cigarettes for nicotine delivery and a pipe for all of the other pleasant aspects of smoking. Cigars just never clicked for me. Cigarettes had an unpleasant taste, but they are surely the most efficient nicotine deliver...

It may well be the tobacco you used. Many Virginias are considered to be "grassy" tasting. I would still heed Peter Ramesh's advise about not over heating it.

Welcome Jas, I've been a DIY mixer for a couple of years, but am still new to NET extractions. I started out of curiosity and to be prepared for if and when our government outlaws commercial flavorings. I've taken a very inexpensive and low tech approach to filtering. I bought an AeroPress for less ...

I edited the original post after doing 6 week sample testing. Mixed results, as expected. The overall experience, so far, has been fun and interesting. I'm happy that my generally preferred smoking profile is also my best extraction so far. DIY NET is a formidable rabbit hole.

I settled on a 50/50 ratio very early in my DIY mixing experience. I have read, and believe, that PG is a much more efficient flavor carrier. I am primarily interested in flavor as opposed to visible clouds. Additionally, a large proportion of my vaping, especially during work hours, is more in the ...

I've been following this discussion because I also favor RDTA's. I use the Galaxies, but don't yet have a squonk mod, so I top fill the tank. I like that it makes me examine my cotton and wick with every 2ml. of juice. Kinnikinnik, are you dissatisfied only with the results on your Brunhilde? Is the...

Thank you, Peter. That is exactly the kind of answer that I was hoping for. I was under the incorrect impression that there was no nicotine in NET extractions because it was insoluble in PG or alcohol. That was why I couldn't understand how it was so very soluble in saliva. Your simple math explanat...

Let's start this thread by clarifying that I do not really want to extract my own nicotine. But I am puzzled by something, and would like to hear other's opinions. My "research" has been limited to reading posts on the ELR threads as well as here. This subject has been lightly touched on, but not ex...

My first steeping experiment. I chose 3 very different tobaccos Lane Limited "Crown Achievement" Balkan-English blend Virginia, Oriental, latakia, and Perique 28g, 150 ml PG, hot bump 120F, 8hrs 4/11/21 6 week test, unfiltered - 15%, 50/50, 18Mg, Holic RDA, SS twisted 1.2 ohm - Nice, strong flavor a...

Greetings, All. I joined a couple of weeks ago and this is my first post. I am just entering the realm of DIY NET's. I've been vaping instead of cigarette smoking for almost 2 years now and DIY mixing right from the start. My first taste of tobacco flavored e-juice was only a couple of months ago. I...
