    Tek ABV Concentrate experiment: What method is best?

    I'm wary of these extraction methods because I'm looking to be as natural as possible. Won't there be chemical residues left on the AVB?

    G Pen Elite Vaporizer

    LOOOOOONG post here, but you seem to be new to vaporizing, and I remember how much it sucked not knowing anyone to help me and having to sift through a thousand sites, with ten times the number of vaporization "experts" who don't know what they're talking about, before figuring out what I have...

    G Pen Elite Vaporizer

    It will stand on it's own, but the base is so small that it tips very easily. Not a huge deal, though.

    G Pen Elite Vaporizer

    It turns out that, unlike the Pax, I've been able to use very small amounts (0.1-0.2 g) in the oven with no problem. Not sure if it's because the oven is ceramic instead of metal, but I've been able to use varying quantities from 0.1 to almost a full g without noticing virtually any difference...

    Aromed 4.0

    VapeKnight is perfectly correct. It's one of the minor flaws. I've corrected this by slightly tilting the machine base and pushing the goose neck down a bit so that gravity ensures the bulb cover rests snugly on top of the herb holder. It works perfectly after the bulb cover expands due to...

    Aromed 4.0

    Yeah, I was stupefied the first time I used it, too. Couldn't believe the taste, the smoothness, and that I could take my time without worrying about the herb being used up (hello, Volcano). BTW, I have all sorts of little tricks I've learned over the years (cleaning various components...

    G Pen Elite Vaporizer

    It's a conduction vape. I have an Elite and really like it, but it's conduction because the material is heated by touching the ceramic oven sides. At best... MAYBE... you could say it's a combo conduction/convection because I imagine a small portion of the material is heated with air only, but...

    Aromed 4.0

    Ok, so Cloud777 is a new member who seems to have a very specific agenda in promoting the Venus and giving false information about the Aromed. I contacted Research and Experience about these purported offgassing issues and here's their reply: "To you first question: For the heater grip we use...

    Aromed 4.0

    It's been awhile since I used the Volcano, so maybe the new ones are different. The one I used had the herb on a metal disk. As for a fan or the Aromed being "underpowered" is confusing to me. One of the main benefits is that you control the flow of vapor to your own taste. I've also hear...

    G Pen Elite Vaporizer

    I've had the Elite for a few days now and a few observations: 1) The oven is HUGE. I have to figure out a way to "shrink" it (like the Pax screen trick). Suggestions welcome!!! 2) Specific control of temperature in a vape this small is nice. 3) Being able to charge with micro-USB and use it...

    Aromed 4.0

    Ok, so the Aromed looks and functions very differently than the normal desktop vape. There's a halogen bulb, protected by a case (halogen bulbs' temperature will not be accurate if it's touched), that sits above the herb. There is no heating element that touches the herb (like with the...

    G Pen Elite Vaporizer

    Vape Mood site. $15 off, free shipping, plus free glass container (which I needed), and a 4-piece grinder (which I really don't). There are various packages and sales all either giving a small item away or giving somewhere between $15-20 off. Where did you get yours from? Also, I would love...

    Aromed 4.0

    There is no draw restriction at all and no flavor imparted. The only problem I've seen so far is that some it gets on the whip and the whip slides off the water basin easily. I just wipe with a paper towel, and no problem.

    Which Fat Absorbs THC Best?

    I'm just short on coconut oil recipes! lol

    G Pen Elite Vaporizer

    I ordered a G Pen Elite because of the rave reviews at that price point. Seems like the poor cousin of the Pax 2, but we'll see when it comes in...

    Aromed 4.0

    For those of you using an Aromed, I suggest filling the water tank with 20% propylene glycol. This will drop the freezing point to about 20F, and will allow the coolest draws you can imagine. I also use the PG to lube the ground glass connection

    ABV coconut oil strength concern

    Please explain how vacuum extraction obviates the need for extended heating time for extracting plant-based cannibinoids. I'm not arguing but rather trying to learn. College physics and chemistry was a long time ago, so I guess a vacuum can create the conditions whereby compounds can speed up...

    Aromed 4.0

    Heat does rise, that's why the Aromed is superior to most other vapes: convection. The herb never touches a heated element and, since the heat is above and heat rises, the material is never heated unless... You draw. The action of your breath pulls down the hot air from above the herb, so only...

    ABV coconut oil strength concern

    Coconut oil is healthier, of course, but the main reason it's great for extraction is the high fat content... which is what the compounds being extracted bind to. Yes, it has a higher smoke point, but you'll never get anywhere near that hot during an extraction process (otherwise you're just...

    Aromed 4.0

    Actually, the vapor path doesn't start until UNDERNEATH the herb because the halogen bulb is above the material and the heat travels downward. This means the vapor comes out the bottom, through the screen, down into the bubbler, and out the whip. My set up has the vapor touching only stainless...
