Depends on what I want the tank for. I'll do 1-1 (concentrate to juice) for a party tank, and for something that I just want to casually draw on here and there over the week, I do 1-3 (concentrate to juice). But I think most people prefer to mix it stronger than me, like max 1-1, but more...

Perhaps this confirms why quicker, higher heat squashes seem to lead to clearer more shatter like rosin, and slower, lower heat squashes seem to lead to milky, less translucent, more sappy rosin. There is more water moisture in the lower heat squash result so it's an emulsion of sorts and less...

I put a thick bottomed shot glass in a small saucepan with water and put the burner on low. I hit the contents of the shot glass with a heat gun every now and then and try to keep it under 140f, usually more like 100f. I stir stir stir, and take the shot glass out of the pan and stir on the...

I haven't used either but I've been researching this a lot in the past few months. I mix with pg/vg so my needs are different, but still I've had to read up on all the same stuff. Overall, I feel like the biggest difference between cartridges and tanks is how disposable you want this to be...

No, keep posting! Great pics. So I finished squashing the rest of the 7g of Superman OG. I got 1.2g so 17%. I'm very happy. The Irwin grip clamp works great. I plan to take the hair straightener apart and attach the heaters to the clamp like @heady blunts pics. I'll be putting a dimmer...

I've had pretty good results and I even add a little flavor (handful of drops of vanilla, almond, or lemon extract, added to shot glass first while heating up so any alcohol evaps). A couple of times, I've added a few drops of nic juice and it caused some separation.

Probably got the majority of the goods by now.

Ok, check it out. I'm on to the next phase. Previously, I did 2 little batches of rosin using a clothes iron on an upside down pan. That worked out surprisingly OK and I love it, so I'm slowly upgrading the process in a minimal/cheap fashion. I'm exploring rosin because I want to try to...

Ya, Canna Coconut Candy is the way to go for me also. :) What I like about candy over other edibles is the absorption rate and overall effect. It's half way between vaping and eating for me. When you eat cannabis, it is converted to 11 Alpha THC which takes hours to fully hit you and is...

Ya, the little replaceable burner. I wouldn't soak it for days, but a quick soak to clean out the wick and coil shouldn't harm it and it makes a big difference in the taste and color of the next batch of juice you fill your tank with (doesn't go black and skanky instantly). You can go through...

Just noticed an easy way to keep simple tanks like the Evod or K1 etc. puffing well during a tank. If it stops hitting well, open up your tank (take the battery off first), and find the wicking holes on the burner part of the unit. Take a thumbtack and just stick it in each hole and squiggle...

Great to see this progress. Thanks for the notes @BoogerMan, and the pics and vids. @ixtapa I agree that there must be an optimal moisture level as well for the same reasons you stated (enough to facilitate heat transfer, but not too much to insulate).

@zor & @gladthaturaglide that's interesting to hear that they both seem to vape quicker. Thanks for mentioning it. I was hoping Pan's Ink might work out to be a viable, cheaper alt to The Solution. :( I'm still enjoying the flavor of this rosin I dissolved. It's so much more flavorful than...

I'm unsure of ratios. I've seen some people share their custom ratio recipes in this thread if you browse back though. I'm just using one of the premixed brands and dissolving my concentrate into it (it doesn't list percentages on the label). If I remember correctly, some people do 50/40/10...

^^^ I was wondering the same, thanks for posting the question. Ya, the cheap wax is $25 for 1/2 g at my regular. :( There are sales on WeedMaps, for locations not that much farther I could try I suppose. I'm just not fond of concentrates really. It's no so much potential solvents that...

Probably best to search around in the rosin thread for that. I know people have been putting their buds and hash in screen pouches, then in the parchment to filter the rosin as it flows out of the bud or hash. There's even a handful of entrepreneurs online selling mesh pouches already for that...

Very cool. Question for you regarding heat transfer. Are you going to stick a piece of wood in the top pipe to stop the press from touching the plate (so it's just metal on metal contact at the screws)? And a wood block under the bottom plate stand? Or are you skipping it and going straight...

This is cool. Can I ask how you're regulating your temperature?

Thanks. Ya, this was a total test to see if I could do it with any degree of success using just whatever I had laying around. I figured if that worked then I'd feel justified exploring this further. I'm happy with the result so I'll definitely start building a little press now. I appreciate...

DMSO would be useful for an application like patches where you're dealing with a small contact area and concentrated actives in small volume, and you need an effective carrier. It's interesting stuff. Very powerful at what it does though, so you have to be careful. If you got concentrated...
