I still don't think the solo needs a QWISO ... the cotton ball works so good there's no point doing anything different :p

I will never have qwiso unless someone makes it for me so it isn't an issue :)

if you are reclaiming wand hash (the golden gooey stuff inside glass wands like the solo stems and ssv/dbv wands) you do NOT need to filter. all the chunky stuff is condensed vapor as Vitolo explained it to me. it is ALL good to vape up.

i only use a filter when i am making a batch of QWISO oil from fresh trim or ABV. then i agree... filters and i mean plural with filters are needed.

I kindly disagree regarding the need to filter.

I would like to offer that in my opinion there is still particulate matter that is smaller than the screen size in the wand coming through and getting stuck. (ie. when we stir, if you do. personally I do this once and it gets me 2-4 more pulls from my material after it has "stopped" giving vapor before the stir.) that came out worded funny I hope that makes sense.

here is a pic of my solo stem currently:

while it looks delicious, i can clearly see bits of plant martial getting past the screen there

in the case of my brand new lsv: I have had one session with the transfer wand. and in the inside of the top of the wand I can clearly see tiny little green specks lining the walls of the wand. when i wash this wand in iso and reclaim it. those bits if plant material will also be in my oil.
here is a pictuer of the plant material in there before it gets golden and covered in oil!

anyways, I always filter my vape cleaning iso before i evap it to make reclaim oil. and there is a brown "dust" caught in my filter when I do this.

Granted, if you are going to put this oil back into a vape then that particulate isn't going to even get burned the 2nd time either. making my issue a mute point. I use mine on a Ti pad though. and if i see residual left over on my ti then im sad because that's evidence of particulate and impurities. imo :D

and jsut to clarify i only filter once. right before i evaporate it. a bottle of iso lasts me a year or more before I buy a new bottle. it looks like runny maple syrup!
 
I agree, weedemon. My stems are covered in thick honey, but there's also a ton of flecks of particulate. I've made both filtered and unfiltered QWISO and there is a marked difference between the two. A small amount of particles can also be seen in bong water after a few uses. I typically use stainless steel screens with Solo stems, two with Turbos.

I almost passed out when I saw that wand. As much as I have complained in the past of cleaning vapes cause of the pax when all were bitching and I said it isn't for me cause of the cleaning, I never ever let my stems get even close to that bad. The one I have now looks a bit worse then your clean one. I can see a golden tint on the glass but still very opaque.

I get the difference now and yes I do have plant matter all over my stems and wands. Now I don't know what I am going to do with it so I guess that is how I have to choose the method. You say if I just turn around and smoke it again I don't need to filter. That q stuff I am to scared to make so that won't happen.

as i said earlier, I don't find the stems take a away from the taste.

a band new bowl of fresh herbs still tastes amazing in there! (I honestly am amazed at how good this vape tastes.) with that dirty stem, if anything I do need to replace the metal screen in the end because I can feel the restriction these days, but other than that I am not even worried about the level of goo lining those walls of my stem. once washed off in iso. my stem will be good as new, and I have a great deposit to go towards my next iso evap next September... Usually, I do it right before harvest when everyone is dry and out... so the oil is a welcome sight!

Amazing enough I finished the stem from last night and today it didn't hurt my throat. I still think the taste suffers but I am going to do the test at some point and will make my final determination. As you know we are all different.

Hmmmmmmmmmm so save that iso for a year ok I am in. It now has a screen in it and I can fish it out and I tried. It fell out of the solo stem. I have a small pill jar for screens so I can just stick my finger in and get it. I got more screens I just have to remember it is in there.

So if I just change the cable from the PA to the plug it will work in Europe? Nice to know that, I was hesitant to order from PV and was waiting for his answer.

Yes. its not the cable, just the top connection...no need for a step down or so

Love it. We have the same strategy!

That stem must stink. I don't think I can do it but I think it is a great thing. Why do you do it that way if you use the same jar you will collect the same amount even if you do it more often. Is it just cause you want to see how golden you can get it since no issue with taste or anything for you?

and why is it? you realize that cotton is fiber just like hemp...

Its the best method if you're planing to use it with the solo which you should

@Dreamerr, yeah it does have a bit of a smell to it, but thats ony if i pick it up. and put it close to my nose.

I store it inside the tube PV shipped it with and that gives me confidence to transport it around.

as to why it's so dirty... well it's a few things.

1. it's about a months worth. these things get dirty fast and I cant be bothered to clean it all the time.
2. im a lil lazy maybe? see point #1 ;)
3. I clean things when the performance is affected. not because i feel the compulsion, or drive to do it.)
4. it's not going anywhere, I see no need to get rid of it and on that point...
5. It's actually working as a s"ticky fly trap", grabbing more particulate as it makes it way past the screen. More caught and staying in the tube = less in my mouth or possibly even my lungs!
6. mostly because im lazy! :D

just got my lsv in the mail today im a little ossified :p (I had to google it and be sure that is what i meant. it is... and i don't mean i have a "boner") :D oh, i'm in a good mood, im crackin jokes even! :p

I don't filter my reclaims, because any particulate matter that does appear was at one time meds intended to vape... so for me, vaping it again, even as an ABV "base" for oil is still medicating me.
This combined with the fact that ALL vape residue, and ABV get stored for consumption... It is winding up back in the ABV bile where I want it, rather than on a filter.

I guess it depends on how you're going to vape it afterwards. In the TV DART, I imagine all that particulate would cause clogs.

I find the dirtier the stem is , the more coughing fits it causes .
After cleaning , and vaping at the same temp. level 5 .
I noticed less coughing .

I do not know how weedemon can dry hit that golden stem without coughing up a lung .
But I would love to dunk that stem in hot black coffee and have one " Kick-ass " expresso .
