Ethanol = Ethyl Alcohol. Original fermentation of fruit, potatoes, grain etc or whatever source has zero effect. Once purified, Ethanol is ethanol. In the lab 99% ethanol immediately absorbs water so you end up around 96%. 100% ethanol is like a phantom, by the time you get it to analysis it's...

For people who aren't into the drip approach, PureGold is known to work in bottom feeders like a kangertech miniProtank2. Check out that Pure Gold thread. EJMix thins oils very well - no VG in there. 10, 20, 30% makes a usable mix for many cartos. But in some bottom feeder heads unthinned oil...

It always looked to me like it's residue on silica wicks that tastes nasty, until it's burned off. I've dry burned a lot of coils along with their silica or ceramic wicks. This is more speculation but i can't imagine cotton wicking a heavy thick oil very well. Seems like the fine and soft...

Dipped in e-juice cotton stays wet. Oils are much thicker. Cotton burns if it can't keep up. Silica is glass, doesn't burn. Ceramic doesn't burn. So why cotton?

@exit, I'm confused. You do or don't vape? And any day now you gonna stand proud and vape "straight tincture" in your Kayfun 3.1?!?? What ARE you talking about? What have you actually gotten to work "so good"? We here have been testing and reporting on every which way we try to make it work...

Yes. One of the current failure modes seems to be when the wick gets old, encrusted and hard, and that allows more liquid to get by and ... Gurgle & Leak. Sounds like a law firm. So if a wick is already hard by design, and if IF it will work with thick liquids ... I'm having an interesting...

That "using all the precious liquid" issue is one reason I prefer the ProTank2. The Protank2 uses a single coil. So there's a smaller wick opening, and it's at the very bottom of the tank. With the BUD it's possible to use or recover every last drop, as it feeds from a smaller tank through that...

@sethhobrin best success! I see adding glycols as a necessary compromise. Always start with a minimum, just a couple drops and warm/stir thoroughly. Repeat until it's clear, even when cold. That signals it's fully dissolved. About 20-30% has worked for me. Not everybody loves that taste, but it...

@sethhobrin, there are countless other designs. Most of the bottom feeding clearos are potentially fine C-juice devices, because gravity helps as they pre-warm the thick liquid, so it's just thin enough to be sucked into the coil. It's a balancing act, and most of them can be MADE to work, and...

Below is what I use, anyway. The first two from the left are BUD cartos filled with homemade supermelts w/ 30% EJMix. The next two are the shorter pre-filled O-Pen-Vape 1/2 gram BUD carts from a local dispensary. The 5th with the rounded driptip is a single coil Mini Protank 2 with 1/2 g of...

Pyrex. I wanna SEE the action. I agree with @Haywood and others that staring at the beautiful Pure Gold reflected in meta and glass is transcendental.

@kingtut106 glad to hear it. You mean you added an inverted cap over the original one? Does yours look like the blogger's last photo? I'd have trouble getting that to fit in my mPT3. For one thing the base wouldn't screw all the way in because my single silicone cup is already compressed. If...

IMHO it matters that these blogs are from people vaping nicotine e-juice. I vape 100% VG, i.e. all Vegetable Glycerin e-juice with 0 to 8 mg nicotine / ml. As an e-juice user I often chain vape, so the wicking has to be 100% constant, and there are other specific requirements on the equipment...

Good point about medical patients, dexterity and equipment reliability. I come from the nicotine e-cig side, 4+ years' worth, so I don't expect any gear to be easy or 100% trouble-free. It just hasn't happened yet, in spite of millions of e-cig users world-wide. Compromises. It's the reason many...

Very good point. AND there are both synergistic and antagonistic effects between the elements, so by mixing two strains you can completely obliterate the specific effect you're looking for. It may not be my choice, but I'd like to defend the people who sell the O-Pen-Vape carts. The BUD...

@Haywood, so far best luck with single coil mPT2 with protruding wicks. Maybe i just got good one but it's been flawless, no venting needed, plug the holes with fingers to suck some more PureGold to the coil. The aero tank3 threaded base tube is totally falling out of the base. It's loose - a...

Of course if possible. Do you start from clones? So how do you sample a clone? I got a couple of alleged SD clones. In a few weeks I get to taste them?

@sethhobrin this can't work well. The problem is that e-cig gear is designed for a much thinner liquid that can even wick uphill against gravity. Wax melts to oil, same thing. H2o hash etc contain a lot more vegetable matter and don't melt clean. There are a lot of setups sold under...

@ataxian, Harborside allegedly has (I forget which lab) test all the flowers and most concentrates. On-line they show percentage for THC, THCA and CBD. In the store they sometimes show some other percentages, like CBN. They also test yes/no for mold and residual pesticide. But to confirm the...

Lucky guy. Where/how do you get "genetically certified" GSC? I'd be a happy camper indeed if I had access to the terpene fingerprints. Am I wrong to assume that the relatively small batches that the dispensaries buy are a factor in making full analysis and fingerprinting for every batch...
