Abstract
Systems and methods for manufacturing and vaporizing a tobacco extract for use in a non-combustible smoking device are described. These methods include a solution having a volume of a liquid tobacco extract suspended in a hygroscopic liquid glycerol solvent. The systems and methods provide advantages in that the method is substantially free of water and results in an improved tobacco flavor extract.
Claims20
A method for manufacturing a liquid tobacco extract configured for vaporization in a non-combustible smoking device, the method comprising the steps of:
- combining a predetermined mass of ground tobacco in a predetermined mass of a hygroscopic liquid glycerol solvent to form a mixture;
- increasing the temperature of the mixture from a first temperature to an elevated second temperature, the second temperature being approximately 250 degrees Fahrenheit;
- maintaining the mixture at the elevated second temperature for a predetermined period of time to a form a solution having a volume of a liquid tobacco extract suspended in the liquid glycerol solvent;
- filtering the mixture to remove the ground tobacco from the solution of the liquid tobacco extract suspended in the solvent having a percentage nicotine of approximately 0.05 and a pH of approximately 5.5;
- and
- lowering the temperature of the solution from the second temperature to the first temperature.
