You guys got me thinking ... how about making the cup out of pyrex? It is very resistant to fast, big heat variations and could have thinner walls which heat up faster. It could either be cylindrical or have a bottom hemisphere if you were to cut off the upper part of a test tube. The curved...

Can you please share your method for the Triton?

[@florduh[/USER] : Sir, with great respect, I suggest you get your facts straight about the chemistry of PEG before pontificatiung with declarations like you made above. I always say to my patients: "If it were me, I'd do ...." In this case I will say that never under any circumstances would I...

Sure, that's fine. As long these people realize that if they are inhaling vapor from "experimental" setups, there is in fact a substantial risk of harm.

Actually, if you look at that thread, you will see that I posted a similar statement there. I have to respectfully disagree with your statement: "No harm." When PG breaks down under high heat, it releases two of the same carcinogens in cigarette smoke. So where does "no harm" come from? Are you...

You folks using PG, PEG or any other related chemical product, including Wax Liquifier, are playing with your lives. I have a strong background in chemistry and pathology and several advanced degrees in these fields, and I can tell you that these products are NOT SAFE when used in eCig types of...

@ C No Ego: No, I believe most oncogenetic cells are pretty much independent from the body's signalling systems. I would expect that, with a few very rare exceptions (e.g. brain tumour), they do not contain cannabinoid receptors. Here are a couple of other videos that deal with the treatment of...

Ok, well thanks for the clarification. Now where getting someahere.The highest I ever got with reciting pi was 67 digits and that was a long long long time ago when I was 20 . But please don't profile me as a geek or someone with no spontaneity for that reason. I've been toking since 1962 when...

With respect, you keep making that assertion, but based on what? Have you tested this somehow or are you just guessing? IMHO your car analogy is completely off the mark unless you can tell us exactly how a terp mix extracted from cannabis biomass "gets us there" better than the same terp mix...

I'm looking forward with interest to some pics maybe or even drying and weighing what precipitates out during winterization. I have never seen any data on winterizing rosin. Could be cleaner than a solvent extract or BHO. You are venturing into unchartered waters, I think.

Just edited my last post and added a bunch of new thoughts.

Good idea. When you get it fully dissolved in the warm Etoh, you might want to filter it before freezing. I'll be interested to see what precipitates out when you winterize is it. Probably a fair bit of crap, though some of the waxes may have too high a melting point to get squished out. I'm...

As a graduate of MIT with five year-long courses in chemistry, I respectfully disagree. If the terpenes are pure, the source does not matter. Do you have information that I do not? Can you explain why terpenes distilled from an herb other than cannabis are inferior? Pure individual terpenes are...

Ok, with rosin, wouldn't the residual plant matter eventually gunk up the coil and other parts if the cart or tank?

The terps are way overpriced and the fact that they are derived from cannabis means f**k all. You can get great terp blends for half the price and even those are way overpriced. Using terps derived from cannabis is a senseless waste of good bud, a product designed for superstitious, gullible...

Check this out: http://foggflavors.com/terpsauce.php Looks like these guys really know what they are doing. Tons of info on terpene profiles of various strains, and detailed references related to the pharmacological properties of each terpene. I've emailed them to find out of their viscosity...

Brilliant! Thanks so much. That is a wonderful website and the selection of oils is amazing.

The source of the terpenes makes no difference whatsoever as long as they are pure. Food grade may not be pure enough if you are vaping them. I read somewhere that couch lock weed gets its sedative effect from a relatively high proportion of the terpene myrcene. I have some herbal essential oils...

You need to be very careful when you attempt to "minimize" the importance of these findings. The acceptable safe levels are not determined by long term experiments in humans. Remember that we are dealing here with carcinogens. The way carcinogens produce cancer is that they cause damage to the...

Hi all, the word is now out on the carcinogenic byproducts produced by heating PG and Peg to 230 deg. C. IT AIN'T GOOD :((( Carbonyl Compounds Produced by Vaporizing Cannabis Oil Thinning Agents CONCLUSIONS: PG and PEG 400 produced high levels of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde when heated to...
