Purplefowlers real tobacco leaf steeping adventures

[ZT]

Purplefowler the seedmans flu cured is really nice BUT .. use very VERY little

it tastes and smells like sandlewood .. if you use too much it will be like vaping a Nag Champa Jostick ... 1 drop at a time!

PS .. i found that out the hard way :/

Lol, I've got some and mixed it at 5% on its own. It was surprisingly ok but definately on the josstick side

I found it a bit sickly in too high a quantity .. and it reminded me of hippy chicks bedrooms when I was at college ... NOT unpleasant memories I hasten to add ...

but vaping it was a bit much.

I pulled my oriental tobacco out today after a 3 week steep. I tried it and - had to wash my atomizer - but that wasn't the problem. It is very sweet - gets tobacco like only at high voltages but up there, definitely has oriental tobacco notes. I am now wondering if it will mature in bottles like my Flue Cured Virginia.

My mind is boggling a bit here ZT - could you maybe enlighten us as to which aspect exactly?

Hippy chicks bedrooms = pleasant memories

deep inhalation of very thick sandlewood flavour = horrible

does that help

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know the process required to extract nicotine from tobacco leaves to make nic base? While off on a training course I met someone who grows his own organic tobacco(who has converted to ecigs now!) and we had the idea maybe he could make nic base to supply my shop when it's open for me to make juices with.

Obviously would need to test the nic content and purity etc of the end product, but need to find out how to do it!

Any updates on real leaf steep Purplefowler? was thinking of getting some leaves and giving this a go. Came across this post on all about ecigarettes the other day

Seemed like a pretty good method. Will order the stuff tomorrow hopefully

Hopefully you get on better than me! I've still got the mixture but it really wasn't to my taste
