    Concentrated Research

    Thanks Herbivore, but I've been here for three years. I lurk much and post seldom. Um, yeah, we're in agreement. I'm a retired Tech. College instructor who did a lot of work with chemicals, my terminology for people who use "intuition" as their guide to chemistry is "mad scientists". The term...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    That crossed my mind. But I went ahead with the plan using this logic: 20 G's of my ABV makes ass-rocking brownies, not necessarily for me but for lighter users. Actually I've had people tell me they're too much and they're still buzzed the next day. 1/10 of that is 2 G. Some variables: Initial...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    1.76 G into one box of pudding mix. I grind my ABV extremely fine in a coffee grinder. Since it's ABV heating or oil are not required to make the ABV effective.

    Concentrated Research

    The Denver Post is a good place to start looking. To my knowledge Colorado does require lab testing. The following blurb is from the Denver Post (but doesn't directly answer your question):Approximately 20 percent of the volatile fuel in common “butane” lighter fluid is a combination of other...

    Concentrated Research

    I'm planning a Dab (how-to) video for my nest project. I've used flowers since 1970 and back in that era, often hash and even a 70's version of HO. I've never really been moved by hash and that old HO was a waste of $. I didn't even know about modern concentrates (Dabs in teen age speak) until...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    I'm more pragmatic than research oriented in my daily driving. Until I switched to the DD mod I ran constantly at 215c, since I got the DD mod and moved the herb closer to the heating element I shaved off 15c and now run at 200. I haven't messed with it much because it works well, but I'm open...

    Autobuddering - an empirical investigation.

    Thanks for the info. I'm prepping for a Dabbing video (I wouldn't consider myself a Dab connoisseur) and doing research on the subject. A few issues I've uncovered (news to me) include the dangers of: low grade butane use, inadequate purging procedures, and the concentrating of pesticides along...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Instead of relying on the thermometer on your EQ, use your head (no I'm not cocking off). As stated earlier the shown temp on the EQ is the temp of the heating element. Sure the bowl temp is going to vary and the herb temp will vary as well based on how close the herb is to the heating element...

    Autobuddering - an empirical investigation.

    Couple questions please: You say" " how was the "rosin" attained? Does this imply you were not making a BHO, if not what or how do you define your process?

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    To BHO or not To BHO, maybe that isn't the question. Maybe it's not the nail maybe it's your dabs. You say you've used the nail constantly, my question: are you using the same oil or did you try something new. If you're dabbing a BHO there is a very good chance it's the BHO making you sick...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    One thing I've noticed by adding a bubbler to my EQ is that I can generate some milky clouds without the harshness that would ensue off a straight whip hit being taken that hard. Note the opening sequence:

    Is ABV Legal?

    As far as ABV being legal, I can tell you this. A friend came by after I started vaping. She asked if she could try twisting up some ABV. I gave a her fatty's worth and a few days later she told me about it. She said she got a buzz. Since most people do something useful with their ABV (brownies...

    Age of the FC Community plus a lot of nostalgia

    Retired from almost 30 years instructing a tech program in a prison - good times (no!) So I've seen a fair amount of the dirty side of things. Grew up in the 60's. Started cheifing upon HS graduation (1970). Got out of the Army in 72. I can remember commercial Mexican OZ. for $15 High quality...

    Retailer Discussion & Discounts

    Update on my dealings with "Everyonedoesit": I was able to contact an Everyonedoesit (EDI) Rep last night and I got a few insights and though I've been told I'll be refunded, the $$ have not shown up . . . yet (because of banking practices I'll give EDI a pass on this for the moment - I'm...

    Glass for the EQ

    Vaping is great but I'm coming to the point where I'd like it even milder and eliminating the naturally occurring ammonia would be nice too. So I want to find the most effective/easy drawing glass bong to match with my EQ. A minor rub is that I'd like to use the bong with a quartz nail for...

    Retailer Discussion & Discounts

    djonkoman, I think you're on track with the customs idea, and I think they may simply throw U.S. customers to the wolves - i.e. once they've sent it/put it in the mail it's on the customer, in retrospect I should have read into that statement.

    Marijuana and depression and anxiety

    Hey Mowgrass, I'm new to forums too but have enjoying herb since 1970. So with those years of experience maybe I can offer some insights. You speak about mental health issues (being treated for depression - BTW the latest thinking is that no one under 21 should be diagnosed/treated as as...

    Hell, Right (about E/U and Aus) because what I think may be happening is their Pkg. is having a hard time in customs - in Chicago - but they mislead you about this problem by saying they'll ship from the U.S. and compound it by essentially saying once we drop it in the mail you're on your own...

    Retailer Discussion & Discounts

    Yes I've tried to contact them and also after the fact went to "Trustpilot". The "Trustpilot reviews would stop any logical person, about 5-1 negative reviews. I have contacted them but they are dodgey rascals. No response to date. See below for more details (if you're curious). They...

    Retailer Discussion & Discounts

    I was surprised to see that "Everyone Does It" is a sponsor here at FC. They seem like rip-off artists with terrible reviews (wish I'd have looked before I leaped). I'm curious if others here have had dealings with them - good or bad? Is there any chance of getting satisfaction from them or your...
