Welcome to FC! i am honored that your first post was in my thread. best of luck on your vape. Which glass tube are you referring to? there are three: the oven tube, inside the body of the cube; the vial, which holds the herb and drops into the oven tube; and, the draw tube, which is...

yes, all day long. i do expectorate a little bit, but i guess i'm used to it now, after 20 years. the defining measure is if what i am doing negatively affects my aerobics on the NordicTrack, and vaping has no adverse effect. thank-you for this data point, i have been trying to find the...

lower temp and shorter time? sounds like it would be less complete extraction - but with so much cannabis around i guess it doesn't matter anymore.

how is that done? does Butane not extract the wax? this (wax) is what keeps me from concentrates, except RSO. @darbarikanada - i think the higher temperatures needed to do dabs is a factor and there is more wax - versus flower - the wax is concentrated, too. maybe.

here in MD dispensary bud is $60 per 1/8th (i.e. 3.5g), so $480 /oz

i use the Ardent NOVA to decarb herb before i do an ethanol extraction. Ardent has accessories to put extracts in the NOVA. link: ardentcannabis.com NOVA takes about 90 minutes to decarb and there is no odor. i finished taking 150cc of RSO for 30 days to assist a squamous cell carcinoma...

maybe it's the Jack Herer talking, but these days it seems like every little task is a quest ... wtf ... bump

or, the heater is underpowered and/or the thermocouple/PID algorithm is faulty - i would guess the cell can't deliver enough amps on demand. i used to see this with a log vape with fixed resistance heater coil/fixed current power supply. i don't know what "slower recharge path for the heat"...

exactly! i would like to see the math even for an idealized case. also, i guess i still don't understand @OF comment about the temperature sensor probe draining heat away from the herb load ... here is my thinking: the 30 gauge (0.010") k-type probe has a maximum current capacity of .142 amps...

bump ... Bud Toaster-ing some Jack Herer #4 (from the dispensary and listening to Neon Jesus on SoundCloud ... i guess that's what this 72 year old (and a half) man do ... on a Tuesday night, while i try to get into some website coding ... sigh.

other design elements can reduce the current draw - for example, my heater wants to pull 20 amps (6.4 volts, .33 ohms) from my LiFePO4 batteries (they can supply 70 amps continuous) but the 16ga power cable probably limits that to below 10amps. My heater with the PWM wide open (100% duty cycle)...

yes, and that's relativity … the actual voltage stays the same, but the current definitely stops for the off part of the duty cycle. in the beginning, the charts i saw of nichrome heat were indexed on current, not voltage, which gave me the flexibility, in the early days of the Bud Toaster, to...

interesting … i never tried to measure my PWM output, however i think of it as gating the current - the full supply voltage is there at the heater coil, the heater resistance doesn't change, so the PWM is controlling the amps. And, from what i have read online, the temperature generated by the...

i used to BIC the score, wrap with a squeezed out damp cloth to contain any glass fragment splatter, and try to snap. very inconsistent results requiring grinding to get rid of jaggies (spouse is into stained glass and has useful equipment). takes a lot of practice.

okay … so i am finally, this week, getting back into gcode programming for the cnc router after about a month diversion into leather crafting - but that's a subsequent post. the cnc router is just amazing, to say the least - although i am still trying to perfect the hold down jigs for securing...

i definitely agree with this. i gave up sugar Oct 2018 and will never go back to that lifestyle. my daycare when i was sub-6 was a carbohydrate factory - my grandfather was a commercial baker and the donuts and pastries were my staple for many, many years. then it was beer. lasting longer...

i watched that Joe Rogan interview and bought the Kindle of Nestor's book. i would add an anecdote from my experience … i developed adult onset asthma about 20 years ago. Johns Hopkins said i should take Advair for-fucking-ever. i don't do meds (yet, but at 72, who knows what's coming). What...

very few reports of the rapid mutation rate of the covid-19 … the less spread, the less the mutations will be. covid-19 is certainly an interesting model for the biohackers of the world.

trying to get organized, in my mind and on the PC, to get a new Bud Toaster thread started … to continue the saga into production (maybe) … just finished a vial of Blue Dream … bump

i kinda like "NewFC.com" as the domain name, which has been tossed around a bit. Also, is there a forum feature where you can extract/view just the images from a thread? with a link to the posts?
