I stuck up a conversation on the FB DIY Tobacco E Juice about this topic. Got a few nibbles. The danger in extraction from cedar would be the oils that would come with the process. Essential oils in the lungs = bad (from everything Iāve read in the vaping forums over time).

Hmmmā¦ Thx for the heads-up on the dangersā¦ somewhat depressing but Ill do more homework - there must be a way because Iāve tasted it before (in āEnterpriseā by Rocket sheep)-must have been blended somehow. yes Jimk, an interesting read ā¦perhaps I could set up an inhalation & vape at the same time - thatād look good down at the local. Lol!

Wouldnāt that be the case with any wood? I mean, we have oakwood and red oak available in flavours so how do they extract those without getting the oil?

I could put $1 on the fact that the flavor is artificial. There are lots of people who have a bazillion dollars in educational fees to pay back to a bank with degrees in being able to put 25 +/- molecules together to make a fluid which mimics the taste of wood.

Have you tried Inawera blend?
āMix of different tobaccos: burley and virginia tobacco, a bit of of cuban cigar and old cedar pipe. Second row is specially for vanilla note and RED fruits: hint of cherry with a smell of roots.ā
I mixed this at 3% and left it for a week. It is an interesting flavour. I think I will put it up to 5% and see what thatās like after a steep. It doesnāt really blossom at 3% but it could be an outstanding stand alone at 5.

ā¦forgot, the $64 question thing is an old American saying; forget sometimes that colloquialisms I use donāt transfer to the EU very well.
Iām familiar with the $1000000 question, not the $64. If Iām the one paying, Iāll prefer the latter!

Let me know how your Rooibos extraction goes. I did two tea bags in about 40ml of PG, shook and stuck in window for 3 days, filtered twice through aeropress. It smells and tastes good, but I havenāt tried to vape it yet. Iāll let ya know.

Same to you! Keep me posted.

Seems this is a tobacco & not a flavorā¦ āPacked with flavors of cedar this flavor will make you feel like your smoking in a cabin in the backwoods of the country side.ā hmm, Iāll extract some of that!!
Your tea extractions sound interesting ā¦keen to hear how you go!
