Extract with Ethyl Alcohol or Ether.
Alright. I will need to further explore. See the basic premise of it though.
Extract with Ethyl Alcohol or Ether.
there is certainly something to that. I was saying it months before, the Gubbamint is going to have there way with a fractured, fighting mass of people that cant even go through one conversation without casting insults and a barrage of clashing ego's.So I read around the forum yesterday, looked at different reports/articles, and watched the local and national NBC news. After that I had had enough.
In every news cast that I watched, here was the Narrative:
"The FDA has moved foreword with plans to regulate electronic cigarette usage, and ban sales to people under the age of 18." (cut to some for the childrens talking person, and interview of dumb fucking kid that blew his hand off recently without a word from his dumb fucking PARENTS!)
Then straight to:
"Electronic cigarette advocates say that this move will kill the industry putting people out of work"
NOTHING in between! The narrative the general public is seeing is that the vaping industry is upset that they will lose money because they can't sell to people under the age of 18! Nothing about the cost to the average shop owner, modder, or anyone else falling under the umbrella that has "ENDS" that were created after 2007. Nothing about the worries that with this regulation the only ones that will be able to continue in the industry will be big tobacco, and they will start doing what they do to make sure people STAY hooked on their products (start adding harmful chemical bullshit,) or kill it off all together leaving NO vaping industry at all.
The vaping industry has a PR problem. Advocates may be putting the word out there, but it's not being portrayed on a national basis as it should. The spin doctors are at work, and it needs to be unwound.
The community that stands now can get all black market, fuck the police, I do what I want about it and we will be fine. I have no doubt that I will be able to continue exactly the way I want to through DIY and other channels. But that's a big fuck you to any future converts. I had a hard time wrapping my head around all of this stuff when I started years ago, and if I had to DIY and skirt the law to do it it never would have happened.
Regulation is coming. Period. What needs to happen is to not fight it, but rather embrace it. Not as it is written, but how it SHOULD be written. I haven't met a single person that has fought for underage sales, and yet that's the narrative. I see lots of articles and news reports about people blowing stuff up because they are dumb, but none about why it happened, how it can be productively prevented in the future.
Things SHOULD be regulated. No sales to anyone under the age of 18, batteries sold need to be regulated to stop the re-wrapped bullshit coming through, food grade health standards need to be in place for mixing e-liquids, and hate me if you want to but EVERY mod should have some sort of safety protection and limitations installed. I have not and will not use an unregulated device. I don't trust myself, and I don't trust the batteries. A tube of metal with threads and springs can be made cheaply and easily...let that be done behind the scenes and let's put up a picture of safety mindedness for the public.
Let's get some leaders in the press and spin OUR agenda. Let's embrace the regulations, put on the good face that we know the industry has, and SHOW the public. Let's make the public argument FOR regulation OUR way and prove how our way is helpful as opposed to current legislation that is detrimental.
That's all I've got. I am not a PR or political expert, but those are thoughts and they came from me. I have no idea how any of this can be done. Sorry for the long posts lately. Happy Friday.

The tobacco and pharmacology lobby is what has been the drivers of the anti vaping train. OK, perhaps we need a vaping Lobby, that will push our ideals and help change public perception, or at the very minimum challenge the anti vaping stories.
Just label and sell it for what it actually is, food flavoring, fuckem!It sounds like they know the black market potential exists (which they do) and are trying to close that loophole from the start. My first thought was to go to selling strictly 0 Nic juice and let my customers add it at their discretion off of my premises. They are wise to that...

Let such a lobby be of no political designation too. It is simply to promote vaping and challenge the anti-vaping element, it is not a political party. Elect us a council of elders every three months, people who volunteer to be in a pool of 'elders' selected to do the aforementioned. That way no one burns out from being in the vanguard, no one can cry that there is favoritism, or some party or other in control. It is not political, just an effort by volunteers. Oh wait, CASAA ... ?
wtf..Extract with Ethyl Alcohol or Ether.
Please Joe...during that 2 years what will and will not be available to us and will it be highly taxed.We have 2 years which is lots of time to fight in court and look for loop holes. There are already a few loop holes people have found.
not sure ,but that seems like what is called tobacco absolute...need to know more bout this method...does it have a name. this process.
I don't know, I was shown by some local folks how to do it, that's the extent of my knowledge on it,not sure ,but that seems like what is called tobacco absolute...need to know more bout this method...does it have a name. this process.
both of them are highly flammable in there gas stage when trying to evaporate them off.Extract with Ethyl Alcohol or Ether.
It does its the same process as breaking down c*caine alkaloids from the coca leaf and then cleaning pond water for drinking...not sure ,but that seems like what is called tobacco absolute...need to know more bout this method...does it have a name. this process.
What I dont get is how they evaporate the water of sufficinetly I'm guessing a lot of the water is still in the extract. Oh well I know a chemist I can ask.I'm sure we can crack this nut.It does its the same process as breaking down c*caine alkaloids from the coca leaf and then cleaning pond water for drinking...
Im sure if the tempo is high enough and you have the right pressurte valve on it it could be more productive, or you could run a few more evap chambersWhat I dont get is how they evaporate the water of sufficinetly I'm guessing a lot of the water is still in the extract.

not to mention residues from the solvents.It's been a long time since I've had a chemistry class, so I could be mistaken on this, but from my understanding, nicotine is an alkaloid and thus you'd use an acid/base extraction to pull it from the plant. An acid/base extraction uses hydrochloric acid, lye, a non-polar solvent such as toluene, and a sep funnel. The problem (in addition to the safety aspect - hcl can blind you and the fumes burn throat and lungs) is that those same items are used by m*th labs, so buying them can result in a search warrant being issued for your place.
that too.not to mention residues from the solvents.
regardless an investment in time and money to do it efficently....I've done alot of diffrent tobacco extraction methods. always stopped shy of tobacco absolute, becuase of the investment and also they flavor was reputed to not be all that spectacular.Im sure if the tempo is high enough and you have the right pressurte valve on it it could be more productive, or you could run a few more evap chambers
Have you ever used a Syringe filter? Includes both a graduated glass fiber prefilter (10.0 to 0.7µm) to remove larger particles and a 0.45µm PVDF membrane filter for fine filtrationnot to highkack the thread the last thing I will ask is the biggest bugaboo about all the exrtraction methods I tried, was that the had enough organic matter left in the extract that they fouled coils up pretty quick regardless of filtering methods.
If your worried about that you could always run in through a couple of them to help ensure that the only things allowed through would be what you want.no usually lab filter papers an let gravilty do the work always thought the pressure from syringes would force organic matter through.....but since you are after nicotine and not flavorings you could filter down to .5 microns or less...I usually filtered down to 2.5 microns.
kinda like asking Hilary to go through the same secuirty clearance I have to go through......Hi everyone I just had a thought and wanted to share it here what if we the vaping community demanded that big tobacco has to go through all the restraints that vaping companies now have to go through?
what should happen rarely does when your uber rich.........I think we should focus on the corruption between the politicians , and the corporations as a motive for their regulations and most importantly letting th public know how much safer vaping is over smoking...how it is being accepted in England all the science behing it a s a harm reduction..Yeah maybe but if it's going to cost big tobacco millions or billions and if we are going to be grouped with them then they should have to go through the same hoops.
Hope you get well soon Artemis.Vapers March on Washington DC

I'm hoping you guys will go. I'll see how my health is after my liver biopsy. My doctors keep telling me I'm sick.
Yeah maybe but if it's going to cost big tobacco millions or billions and if we are going to be grouped with them then they should have to go through the same hoops.
unfortunately we have no control politicians lie they do what they want and unfortunately we have no controls the most we can do is vote them out but the next person's going to lie anyway the little guy gets screwed the big guy wins.
When I first saw those links, I had to re-read it. First time around I read, "fist the FDA"
Hadn't even thought about the sampler bar thing. Ugh! How's a person supposed to know what they like/want? *sigh* I guess a place could charge a tiny fee to sample, that way it wouldn't be "free" but. . .The regulations go into effect in 90 days, but manufacturers will have 2 years to get their products approved. While getting devices approved isn't as numerous as e-liquids, it will be a daunting task. Through the review process, manufacturers would be required to submit separate applications for every e-cigarette, different flavor, and nicotine level.
Here's a kicker...no more free samples. Ack! Are the ever popular vape bars doomed? Will the famous give-away shows on Vapers.tv go by the wayside as well?
Time will tell.
Let's see, cigarette use by teens is down and ecig use by teens supposedly up. Hmm.. You don't suppose it's a case of those that would smoke cigarettes switching to vaping? I know I'd much rather see a teen (or anyone else, for that matter) vaping than see them smoking. Fucking dumbass tobacco stooge.. . . While I understand concerns about access, I am deeply troubled by the skyrocketing rates of e-cigarette usage by teens and think that it is critical that the FDA have the authority to limit sales and marketing targeted to children, so I do not support exempting e-cigarettes from FDA review.
