    Rick Simpson oil

    Just a note on thinning. People thin for different reasons and IMHO there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it. Glycerin (VG) is unfortunately unsuitable as it will separate when cold and decompose when too hot. Propylene Glycol is safe and effective for vaporizing but some separation can...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    @mplx honestly your question is too general to be tackled here. You need to do some reading and research. If by marroc you mean Kief then the answer is not really, you can burn it but it does not evaporate.

    Vaping for lower back pain?

    I humbly apologize for spelling dance "danse". No idea why. Prance, pants, France, chance.

    Gear Best Clearo for Pure Gold?

    @Haywoood what exactly do you prefer in the tanks over the BUDs if dry hits could be averted? I see the kangers as a bit more maintenance & work compared to the disposable BUDs. The BUD is small, oils are preciou$$. I chain vape nic juice, and sip cann-juice. Maybe if those concentrates were...

    What's the thing with plated brass vs. stainless steel? I mean how did this get started, who's concerned with what (I presume) toxic effect? I just got a MiniTank3. No Air adjust. It came with one of the 1.5 ohm heads, but with protruding wicks. My previous Kangaroomfull was 1) an...

    ... which also removes it from the coil, it dries out as you vape it. I think that realizing how much of a role suction plays in "wicking" on the bottom feeders has really helped me understand and approach this a little differently. That and realizing we need a better abbreviation for Pure...

    @MaxVapor, so Pure Gold is all you use? I can only report what I get, I'm trying out all this gear with glycerin right now to figure it out. With 95% VG (with 5% flavorings, no nic) on the first generic BUD cart I tried, it can't feed right away. This type has the blue plugs and is generic...

    Gear Best Clearo for Pure Gold?

    @thisperson I think one huge advantage of Pure Gold is the fact that it doesn't smell like anything familiar. But I'd like to retain the terpenes etc of specific strains if at all possible in a thinned concentrate. In neither case will "just about any" clearo work. Try it. Is EJMix necessary...

    Vaping for lower back pain?

    @Enchantre is right. That muscle tone is essential, and it's one more thing you lose when the pain makes it harder to move. So when you see a knarly seniorito dragging acrossing the street on a cane like he's got years to complete it, do him a favor, revv that engine, blow that horn! Put the...

    FWIW I just ran some tests of EJMix vs. Propylene glycol USP liquifying a Supermelt wax, and so far they seem to behave identically.

    Vaping for lower back pain?

    One more approach to back problems using Cannabis. Last night my wife and I went out to a Rave. I had pre-medicated to the max, and that was enough to actually be able to consider dansing. Timidly at first, and then "Screw it, let's see what happens". The status this morning was positive...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    1- My contribution for today was running solubility tests on a SuperMelt wax with EJMix (EJ) and ordinary USP Propylene Glycol (PG). Bottom line, I couldn't see any difference so far between EJ and PG as "liquifiers". Both can either dissolve or emulsify a light Sour Diesel Supermelt around the...

    @Haywood thanks, everything you say makes sense. And apparently small leaks can glue parts together. Somehow an image keeps coming back to me of a higher resistance lower temp single coil being more suited to wicking thick liquids. Less blockage in one wick? The one pair of wicks on the mPT2...

    Hey @Haywood so THIS is where you're hangin'. I've just acquired the various protank 2 and 3 components. My objective is much the same as yours but using supermelt or thick CO2 oil thinned with just enough, a minimum of, EJMix or PG USP or dipropylene glycol, all of which are sitting here on the...

    Vaping for lower back pain?

    I'll just mention one more experiment. While that pain relief is working, vaping the rest of the load (i.e. the stuff that vaporizes at higher temps) might not add a lot to it, but it doesn't ruin it. But vaping a very different strain at that point can completely undo it, I've verified this on...

    Vaping for lower back pain?

    @MinnBobber in my experience, everyone reacts differently, which makes sense in the context: a large number of mutually interacting substances in the plant playing on a very complex neural system with endocannabinoid modulation and enormous variation, person to person. The Indica route works...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    Thanks! yes I know about the heads, I got both types, plus 2 of the new "3" heads with no protruding wicks. That was my main concern. Which will wick best, with thick liquid that at least needs a little warming to wick at all! I thought maybe the single coil - single wick protank2 would wick...

    Guys, have mercy. Simple question. I'm in too much pain to go searching through all the posts now, and we've got the expertise here. I just got both a Kanger Mini Protank 2 and an Aerotank 3 Mini. The latter has the new un-whiskered 1.5 ohm atties. But I have spare 2.2 Ohm replacement atties...

    Vaping for lower back pain?

    @MinnBobber, FWIW, I've had brief episodes of disabling pain in the lower back for decades. My background's in biomed. As it got much more frequent I had it looked at with several MRIs and some competent consults. What's happening in my spine is what happens to a lot of us over the years...
