Thanks @juice_junkie_lover I’ll check them out. If I do buy some and don’t like them, don’t worry, I won’t hold you responsible or expect you to buy them from me 
. But thanks for offering brother!

I’ll let you know @Dan_the_Man. TBH it can’t work out any worse than the stuff I’ve already tried, but I’ll let you know.

I was thinking you could try the same thing I did. Take 3 oz coarse ground cacao nibs and roast at 300* for 15min. Cool. Pour into a mason jar and add 6 oz vodka. Cap, shake and store for 3 months. I did the same thing with finely ground roasted nibs and added pg. I can add sweetener later but as of now, it’s doing great and smells like a rich dark chocolate. Something to consider cause you asked to make one. I’ll strain this in February then filter if I need to.

Now THAT is an interesting idea. I’ve thought about “brewing” my own tinctures or flavors before but thinking is as far as I’ve gotten with it. I’ve talked to
@Bob_Bitchen about it before, he brews his own dill flavoring.
I might actually give it a try this time. Thanks @R113.
But … where the hell do you get cocao nibs?

I wasn’t too thrilled with chocolate flavors so I went to the extreme. I used 80 proof vodka but not the cheap stuff. Use a coffee grinder to chop. When you pour in the booze, either use 6 oz or enough to cover the tops of the cacao.

@Saxonn it is called NET (naturally extracted tobacco and tea ) you can extract all kinds of different things, like chocolate, which is a brilliant idea @R113
N.E.T Creations and Reviews (Naturally Extracted Tobaccos or Teas)

Roasting is the key. I tried it raw and all the fat came to the top and turned to goo. Just no longer than 15 min. When the kitchen just starts to smell like chocolate, turn off the oven and get the nibs out. I also tried cocoa powder and that was an epic fail. It’s too weak to do any good I think and might need a very high grade to make that work

An N.E.T. Is either a tincture or an extract. Anything that is extracted into an alcohol base is a tincture. If you are using water, vinegar, glycerine, or any solvent other than alcohol, your preparation is an extract.

@juice_junkie_lover Evidently Saxonn already knows that I’d be more than happy to drive out to meet him and swap some flavors…
Personally, I had no idea he was psychic.

IOk … now I don’t understand.
What R113 is doing is making a tincture. Because he is extracting chocolate flavor into alcohol. When he did the same thing but used PG instead of vodka, he was making an extract. The same principal or naming convention applies to NET creations. If the tobacco is extracted into alcohol, it is a tincture. If the tobacco is extracted into PG, VG, or anything OTHER than alcohol, it is an extract. Unless you’re extracting the flavor into an oil, then it’s called “oil” oddly enough. e.g. Peppermint or Cinamon oil.
For any newbies that may be reading this, a warning:
NEVER VAPE OILS. Not even essential oils.

You can vape tinctures, you just have to add a small amount of your tincture to a pg or vg or whatever base. That’s how a lot of flavors are made. First they extract a tincture, then they add x amount of the tincture(s) to a pg (usually) base. Then they sell them to people like me that CANT STOP BUYING FLAVORS.

Experimentation for a chocolate flavor. Almost every chocolate e liquid I’ve made so far doesn’t taste like chocolate.

Natures flavors flavor extracts are in a base of alcohol. the finely ground roasted nibs in PG smells like delish chocolate and looks like melted chocolate. The alcohol one is dark and smells like chocolate but not as much as the other. I failed to mention that I did simmer the pg and nibs one for about 20 min. Looked like bubbling crude

As @juice_junkie_lover mentioned before, some of the newest purilium chocolate flavors like lava cake and Neapolitan have the best tasting chocolate. I didn’t have to use my imagination on these. If using these flaves with a VG only base, I’d sure use around 8% with a little heat on the mix then stir. Needs at least 30 day steep if not more.
