Snus maker here. The beauty of smokeless tobacco is that you aren’t restricted to the constrictions of things that vape well. I can be as crude or sophisticated as I want in extraction.
Pic related: chimo is a Venezuelan tobacco that you bake into a prilla or cut a pinch off and stick in your mouth where it dissolves. It is, in essence, a tobacco extraction - green or cured tobacco is boiled into an infusion, the leaf is strained away, and the tea is concentrated into a powerful extract. Water is the superior method for capturing tobacco’s essence.
Unfortunately, flavoring extractions for e liquid fall short of the mark. They have special considerations that make them usable in vapes but remove much of the true body of the flavor.
