Extraction of nicotine from tobacco

A series of cold traps is all that should be needed to capture those terps. I’ve considered working out the details to do this with cannabis, too. No use wasting the 80% of the terps lost in the drying process.

Same here

Theres a large amount of non-condensable gasses in the vapor stream in a flue drier which makes cold trapping a pain, but if thats considered in the design, id bet ya could “catch’em all”.

Ive bounced back and forth b/t cold trapping and scrubbing exhaust thru an oil and extracting from that. A scrubber or series of scrubbers with a trap or two upon discharge should get the goods, but an extra step of extracting goodies from the scrubber fluid is necessary.

Anyone been trapp’n terps from a hemp drier yet?

Has anyone on 4200 successfully extracted and purified nicotine? Is there an SOP with a heavy emphasis on safety?
