gettin lifted, i did the syringe thing exactly as i was supposed to. and it was still a huge problem. it really is the pressure that the sucking creates, not that the sockets are actually 'dry'. that pressure pulls the clots out of their place and exposes the nerves. i was very gentle and only...

vinegar is nice but usually needs some elbow grease for mineral deposits - no matter how long you soak it just seems to need to be scrubbed. i have a bubbler with a permanent haze on the inside from years of use. You just can't reach inside of it to clean it so it remains. I always assumed that...

if it's cloudy, it may well be mineral scale if it's only on the parts that contact water. if so, a long vinegar soak and good scrub should take care of that. I'd watch it with the cascade, it may etch the glass if you do end up boiling it, you could put an old cloth on the bottom of the pot to...

lwein, i too take issue with that statement. some inhaled essential oils have been shown to have positive effects on the whole body, not just the lungs. EO's are known to stimulate immune activity, kill germs and heal infections - all when inhaled. no danger that i've ever found except for a few...

Brother, behold the Chef's Choice Smart Kettle http://www.amazon.com/Choice-SmartKettle-Cordless-4-Quart-Electric/dp/B001I1BH98 *angels singing* through my magic powers (and the infamous Bed Bath & Beyond 20% off coupon) i did not pay nearly that much for it, but honestly, i would have seeing...

dry sockets are horrifyingly painful - if you even breathe across them you feel it in your bones. i wouldn't risk it. it is the sucking action that dislodges the clots. found this out AFTER my four dry sockets got terribly infected after my dumb ass smoked. my cheeks were inflated to the...

lwein, I love my electric kettle because i can set it all the way from 100 degrees F all the way to rolling boil. microwaves drive the o2 out of the water resulting in a flat taste in whatever you are brewing. stovetops tend to overboil the water and do the same thing. white tea, green tea...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: that's sweet, AG, but i'm happily married and have been with my high school sweetheart since i was 15 18 years later he still tells me that he only married me for my cooking ;) :love:

yes, my one of my herbals refers to adding a small portion of grain alcohol to the tincture with the glycerin as glycerin is somewhere between water and alcohol in it's solvent ability. this same book speaks of an advanced extraction method involving mixing glycerin and alcohol, tincturing the...

I was assuming the material was already dcarboxywhatevered. i've seen tincture recipes calling for just letting the material sit in the glycerin for three months shaking occasionally - no heat at all. I have not tried it this way. could it be that either heat OR time will convert the THCA?

my dh has recently had the pipe dream of starting a mobile vape repair service. Ya know, like an appliance dude that comes to your house, but instead of fixing the washer, they fix your vape. :brow: i wouldn't think that there is a big enough market locally, but shit, maybe this is the time for...

NYC, i really have no idea how long you should heat it, i would think just enough to warm the solvent and get everything fully mixed, so maybe like 15-20 minutes. I believe the heating just makes extraction more efficient, it can be done cold too so i think, strictly speaking, you really don't...

perhaps the actual risk may be lower, but now that i'm using the ion as my daily driver i have not noticed a reduction in the particulates in my sputum. nor have i noticed that the vapor is more or less irritating than the LB usually, i rarely cough with either. this is coming from combustion in...

mom, hehe you said happy ending. and yes, very apt germ, vaping is having that cake and eating it too. between temperature selection for specific effects, that lovely golden wandhash, and the ABV as well, we really do get all that the good herb has to offer.

canna-pault! ganja-pault! dope-flinger! :lol: but isn't that a trebuchet? a weeduchet? :brow:

Phish, i'm happy to help out. and yes, i likey the herbals, dye my hair bizarre colors, actually like cooking damn near everything from scratch (with or without the good herb - i actually have a pot of beef stock simmering away and a kids dry cough herbal cough syrup cooking right next to it on...

:lol: hubby is bathing the monsters right now so they are out of my hair for the time being :) ;) you have learned the first rule of hard candy making. get ALL of your shit together. even a second's hesitation can mean a burned mess or half your candy cooling, unformed in the measuring cup...

i used the directions for the microwave hard candy recipe on the lorann flavorings package. i added the way evaporated everclear tincture with the flavoring. since you've never done candy before, you may want to try a dry run w/o the tincture. it'd be a shame to ruin it because of a botched...

Phish, i have no idea how you would get glycerin into a candy, i've just done it with alcohol based stuff. for dosing i divide the amount of tincture (ml) by the amount of candies - that way you at least know how much is in each, if not how strong it is. if you do give it a shot with the...

i have an ion and i'll put myself in the unruly category. i really prefer the higher temps in the evening or for pain control. daytime i tend to keep it closer to 380-385 :uhoh: shhh, dont tell anybody, but i really prefer a good thick solid chalky 440 bag *gasp* :uhoh: but, usually i'm a...
