Does anyone know how to do extraction from real fruits for flavoring?

I'm have a couple of fruit trees and I would like to make some flavors from them.

Traditional at home extraction is usually about half alcohol (like vodka) and half water to cover the fruit. Shake daily and leave it for a few weeks. The problem with at home extractions is the fruit sugars get extracted as well as the flavor. What sort of trees do you have?

Without thousands of dollars worth of distillation, centrifuge and filtration equipment, your fruit extracts will not be suitable for vaping. I say leave it to the pros. It's more headache and money than it's worth.

tobacco, coffee, tea...that's another story.

Hubby n' me are herbalists, and we've made substantial amounts/types of different "extractions" (tinctures) over the years. For dried herbs/plants we always use 100 proof alcohol (100 proof = 50% water 50% alcohol). When using fresh herbs (think: large amounts of moisture), we increase the ratio of alcohol to water and use 120-150 proof alcohol) to ensure the liquid has enough alcohol to prevent the growth of mold/fungus & bacteria. If using fresh 'fruit' (even MORE moisture), we'd use 190 proof.

But we wouldn't attempt to make a flavoring for vaping out of fresh fruit. 1) the water/moisture content would likely be so high we couldn't get the concentration/intensity of flavor we need 2) the sugar content would seriously gunk-up/kill coils (as mentioned).

Agree with FACE MEAT - certainly without the equipment he mentioned, it'd be very difficult & time consuming (if possible even) to create a "flavor" for using in DIY from fresh fruit.
