About Our Real Tobacco Extract Elixirs
We start with fresh whole leaf tobacco. The leaf is cured by either natural sun drying or by slow "stoving" or low heat drying. We do not use open fire curing methods to cure our tobacco as we wish to minimize adding anything that may contribute toxic properties to our extractions. (Smoke and products of fuel combustion add things we do not want).
The leaves are meticulously prepared by hand for extracting the flavor from the leaf using a proprietary process that extracts the flavor of the plant while leaving the nicotine and other constituent parts behind.
- We use no hazardous chemicals or solvents in our flavor extraction process. Everything we use is edible.
- No added flavors or "toppings" are used in our base extracts. We may add natural flavors to individual products as our customers request them (such as menthol, natural fruit extract or natural vanillas).
- Our elixirs are 100% water soluble and contain no tobacco absolutes, oils or waxes.
- The tobacco flavors are 100% our own - made right here in the good ol' USA (Seattle).
- We never use artificial flavorings in our products - and never will.
- We add no sugars or artificial sweeteners. All sweet flavors come from the natural plant juices. Our Bright Virginia adds a little sweetness when we need it. (Glycerine adds some sweetness too).
- All of our extracts and flavors are derived from 100% plant materials.
- We use only USP Food Grade Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin from certified sources.
- All products are triple filtered to low micron levels (not easy to do with high viscosity liquids).
- All of our products may be vaped with a wide range of mods, drippers, tanks - bottom feeders or top feeders. The liquids are transparent and as clean as can be. We put them in transparent bottles so that you can see the clarity.
- Our tobacco flavors are what tobacco really tastes like. In fact, the experience on the palate is far superior to smoking the same tobacco as the burning process interferes with the real taste of the plant.
What's different about Natural Extracts
Complex Flavor Profile - No Flavor Chasing
Everyday/Allday Vapes - Artificial flavors use concentrated synthetic flavor molecules used in the food processing industry. The flavors are one dimensional compared to organic plant extracts. Have you noticed vapers "chasing flavors" ? That's because our sense receptors get numb with strong synthetic flavors - You have to chase flavors if you use artificial flavors. The natural flavors do not numb your senses, you can vape them for weeks or months without flavor burn-out. Natural flavors are complex molecules - not single molecules.
Real Substance Means Real Flavor
All of our products may be vaped with a wide range of mods, drippers, tanks - bottom feeders or top feeders. They may require that wick and/or coils be changed more often as they contain natural sugars and proteins that may leave a residue over time.
Real Flavors Do Not Stink Up The House
Naturally extracted flavor vapes leave no strong odor in the room. These natural extracts do not stink up the house like synthetic fragrances or artificial food flavors do. The liquid has virtually no odor in the bottle.
