We haven’t had anyone talk about nicotine extraction here, but google has loads of results for this…
As for flavorings, people here have talked a lot about extracting tobacco, coffee and tea flavor:
This section of the forum doesn’t get used enough! So, here we go…
For those who like to DIY their own flavorings from tobacco, coffee, tea or what have you, jump in and tell us what you’ve extracted and from what!
I’ll start the ball rolling @JoJo and, after you finish your homework, you can tell us how your NET experiment came to fruition.
I decided, since I love rooibos tea (all tea really) and it was available on my kitchen shelf, to give NET a try. I chose Celestial Seasonings…
Continuing the discussion from N.E.T Creations and Reviews (Naturally Extracted Tobaccos or Teas) :
Today I started my second attempt at creating N.E.T. flavors. I’m strictly in an experimental phase, but if the results are positive, I’ll be at it full bore. I purchased a very good slow cooker today, which is vital for this type of extraction.
This particular slow cooker comes with a probe for temperature accuracy.

This is what’s needed for the first part of the extraction:
PGA 190…
I was just wondering what your experiences with coffee extracts are?
I’m going to try it soon - but I want to do with with good coffee
I stumbled over this post:
I imagine it would gunk up your coils rather quickly? Unless you do a really thorough filtering!
I’m itetested in doing a coffee extraction for use as a flavor to mix e-liquid with.
I’m also very interested in doing a N.E. tobacco.
1 for flavor but also to see if I could get some of the alkaloids yo help totally end my cigarette addiction,I know from experience that some of the alkaloids are what my body misses & could really help me .
The only place I know of that sells the alkaloid mixes I.E. ,WTA is aroma eliquid & it’s very expensive for something I possibly could do myself.
Thanks…
My next venture in NET will be locating tobacco leaf which is void of the commercial processing ugliness! Knowing what we now know about the commercially produced tobacco which is used in cigarette tobacco, steering clear of that ugliness as much as possible is a concern of mine. These guys below look promising! I’m sure there are others…now, just to find them!

Has any one ground coffee beans and steeped it in propylene glycol? I did…
it is interesting to say the least. it is not bad. Though it does not taste like coffee, it does have a very nice earthy undertone.
I am wondering if it will go bad. will it have a limited shelf life? does any one know?
This post is for experienced pipe and cigar smokers to share their real tobacco experiences for informational use in NET blends.
Continuing the discussion from N.E.T ~ Latakia Blend :
[quote=“SthrnMixer, post:9, topic:29041, full:true”]
I hear you. Learning about pipe and cigar tobacco isn’t a quick process either. I know tons more about pipe tobacco than cigars though, so I’m listening as well. If you read my concerns about additives (casing/humectants) in many pipe tobaccos you’ll know that …
Has anyone heard of or now anyone that has used real brewed coffees as a concentrate ? Then add vg/pg nicotine & added tfa etc concentrates ?

I would strongly advise against attempting to create any kind of flavoring that involved sugar. Sugar is terrible for your coils and not so great for inhaling, either. Flavoring is not so simple as soaking something in PG and using it. People have success with things like tea leaves, tobacco, and hard spices like clove because they are easy(er) to filter than something like fruit and don’t contain any kind of sugars or compounds that are more likely to spoil. Just my two cents, obviously, but I’d do plenty of research before beginning any kind of flavor creation or nicotine extraction.

I bet that’s hard - There’s a subreddit that deals with mixing flavor molecules, to create your own flavorings:
Creating extracts of real things is a bit more cumbersome , as you might have guessed, skimming the above. There are many ways to do it

followed someone on a board and did my favorite coffee half a 30 ml bottle filled with pg nuked in the microwave for 10 seconds. took it out… filled with pg again then strained it through a coffee filter over night. While it tasted and smelled great I was so worried something might be wrong I just bought a flavor concentrate instead LOL

I made a coffee extract that was extremely potent in 1 week using straight vg bu t did not know how to mix yet so I threw it out. I also did some teas and spices. Once done with work I will be working more on it. I have some vanilla beans soaking in vg since November at my moms house. Will be interesting to see the results when I get back in March.ezvape Canada makes their own nic from tomatoes

In for nicotine…not NETs, nicotine!
I haven’t done a tobacco NET. I am curious, has anybody tested their NET extractions for nicotine content?

NETs are pretty heavily colored, so it’s difficult to use the blue/sulphuric acid method to test… Not impossible, just more difficult…
