    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    right. 30-60 minutes of double boiling, if that.

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    my current method, very briefly, is to wash the ground bud / abv with 190 proof everclear, filter it through filtering paper, then put it in the freezer in a separatory funnel. the cannabinoids freeze and sink to the bottom while the water soluble chlorophyll stays suspended in the everclear...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    if you do it right and filter it well, it shouldn't taste bad. my abv tincture tastes kind of like vaguely floral cough syrup, and that's only when i eat it straight. there's no taste or smell to the vapor. if you're getting a bitter taste in abv tincture, that most likely comes from toasted...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    extract the cannabinoids with another solvent first, then add the glycerin after evaporating that solvent. much easier to get high concentrations that way. i think that battery is the same one i'm using, with the smok ARO pyrex tank. i go with 4.2V for pure glycerin tincture and it produces...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    you should concentrate that more, to the point where you can feel it with each hit. for 16g of abv, i'd probably use about 15-20mL of glycerin. don't dilute it with water unless your tank absolutely requires that. i'm using a smok aro coil right now, it works great with pure tincture.

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    simply adding glycerin to dried bud? that won't do anything for you, you need to make a tincture. if you have a kief box or grinder with a screen, try kiefing a gram and mixing the kief with an ounce of glycerin in a double boiler. use a silicone spatula to stir it while it's warming for 20...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    i've been vaping VG daily in a buddha and various e-cigs for over a year at this point with no ill effects. you want to keep the temperatures reasonable; there's a point where it goes from comfortable vapor to throat-irritating if you get it too hot. that's really the only thing to watch out...

    ABV Vegetable Glycerin Tincture

    i have vaped glycerin tincture in a launch box; i don't recommend it. the screen still gets hot enough to burn it, it does produce acrolein, it tastes horrible and then you have to clean the box. other vaporizers will vape it just fine though. i always add a few drops of tincture when i pack my...

    Green dragon evaporation?

    if you want to make hash from green dragon, you should separate the cannabinoids you want from the chlorophyll, waxes, etc. that you don't and save yourself a lot of evaporation time in the process. put your jar of green dragon in the freezer, and the resin will sink to the bottom. suction off...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    badkitty i noticed you recommend soy lecithin for edibles; is it also possible to use it in a glycerin tincture? and if so, can the tincture still be vaporized in an e-cig if lecithin is added?

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    having tried the glycerin tincture now in both an e-cig and an oil dome now i can say it works well in both, with the e-cig being especially stealthy and efficient. still a little confused as to how the vapor is being absorbed though. when you take a tincture sublingually it's absorbing into the...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    update for anyone trying this with a DBV or similar vape: regularly adding a drop or two of glycerin tincture to the bowl changes the wand hash that builds up. obviously it'll have some glycerin in it. that's kind of a bonus because it's stickier and seems to build up faster. the glycerin being...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    oh yeah and i don't recommend grinding the ABV to a powder consistency or anything. just leave it at whatever consistency it came out of the vaporizer. i tried a batch where i ground it to powder in a coffee grinder first, and the end result was super weak. the powdery dry herb ends up floating...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    i can't say this is definitive, but here's what i do and it works for me: - clean wands, grinders, glass parts, anything that might have some kind of usable concentrate on it with everclear. - put whatever amount of ABV in a wide mouth pint mason jar. pour in 80% glycerin, 20% wand hash...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    Gobbly, thats what I've been waiting to hear. So if nicotine on its own vapes much higher than the glycerin, and yet is still released safely at the lower temps of an e-cig, that implies we should be able to vaporize glycerin also as a carrier for whatever we can extract into it, right? The...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    The taste is due to several factors: it's a tincture made from AVB and wand hash, glycerin has a natural sweet flavor, and it's soluble in water so it flavors the bong water slightly. The everclear content is about 20% of the volume. 1/5th of a drop of ethanol per wand doesn't seem like a high...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    just to update, i've been trying this for a few days straight now and i feel pretty comfortable saying it's safe as long as you don't get too near combustion. i don't notice any negative side effects at all from adding a drop or two of ABV glycerin tincture to a normal wand pack. the only effect...

    Vaping Vegetable Glycerin?

    sorry to be resurrecting an older post but i tried this yesterday and today and my experience was similar to ITNinja's. i also have a DBV, and make a glycerin tincture out of medium-brown ABV and kosher USP food grade vegetable glycerin. i also clean my wands and grinders with everclear and add...
