technically if you can see it it's not a vapor, it's a condensing vapor; thus particles. for our purposes there is no difference between mist, cloud, aerosol or condensing vapor; they are are all the same and we tend to slightly misuse the term vapor when we mean a visible condensing vapor. so...

limonene also works well to thin co2 oil. mixes easily, can even be mixed in the cart, just tilt back and forth. notes here.

sorry. not the first joke i've missed.

far worse. science!! limonene and its terpene friends are the chemicals that put the smell in smelly bud. and some say they may be part of the kick in kick ass bud... only glanced at it so far; that looks like a good video

i havent tested myrcene yet. limonene evaporates faster than anything i've seen. very odd to work with. -40 sounds like the temperature where you have an open container at standard pressure and it won't evaporate more than a certain small rate. i think it means we must close our containers is...

poke your nose (sorry) into the aromatherapy world. they deal with lots of terpenes which not only smell good but there is anecdotal evidence that myrcene subjectively increases the effects of thc. i recently posted some results with limonene...

i'm posting this to document my experience so far and see if others have experience adding terpenes. there is anecdotal evidence that terpenes enhance the effect of thc. i'm having good luck adding limonene to CO2 oil. nice flavor, smell and it makes the oil runnier so it works better in the...

heating a peltier to provide power to heat a peltier won't work. it's a form of perpetual motion.

halogen bulbs have a gas inside that keeps the filament from boiling away [1] at the lamps higher (than regular incandescent)) temperature. even regular bulbs have the oxygen removed. exposed filaments would have to be derated to get a good life. when i thought about using these i found ceramic...

amazon has 1 oz for $15 from Consolidated Chemical. it doesnt say beta-myrcene. wikipedia says myrcene is produced by plant extraction. same prices for linalool and pinene. wikipedia says thyme can have up to 40% myrcene so maybe plain thyme herb or a pure essential oil?

the picture of the coil looks like the coils can touch each other. is the wire stiff enough that once the individual coils are separated they stay put? EDIT: i see you answered this on the previous page (maybe i should read front to back?). no delete button so i'll add this. sorry for the...

not serious issues. i notice a difference, i prefer it without that difference, so i am thinking about ways to fix it. hmmm. then maybe you do notice a difference? otherwise why isn't it ideal? thank you. i will need alot of luck :-)

oxidation sorry for the lack of context. this is from way earlier in the thread where people commented that leaving herb in a powered vaporizer seems to degrade the herb over time. i've been thinking about a vaporizer design that can be loaded once a week and degradation of the herb is a...

i'm pretty sure benzene is a combustion byproduct. it doesn't exist in unburned pot so can't be released.

i've been thinking about a way to measure the vapor density with perhaps several (IR, UV, various colors) LEDs shining through the vapor stream onto a photodetector. maybe with an led bar graph for output. while filling a bag one could detect declining vapor levels and automatically slow down...
