    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    Thats why I recommend the TS8000 over the TS4000. The TS4000 has no flow control so its always at full blast and noisey as shit. The TS8000 at the low setting I use it at is more quiet than my Rosle creme brulee torch and it does an awesome job heating up my quartz castle quickly. The TS8000...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    LoL no thanks, The TS8000 walks all over that and costs less with fuel for 6 months! I already have a creme brulee torch if I need to feel small. Probably not.

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    I use the torch on the lowest setting it will reliably ignite at. I have torched the quartz castle nail at the highest setting. It survived just fine. Also torched my nail repeatedly with my buddies TS4000 with map gas. I'm not worried about damaging it with the torch at all. Looks like there...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    I have a Rosle Creme Brulee Torch.. and a Bernzomatic TS8000. I use the TS8000 almost all the time. Don't get any other Bernzomatic big torch than the TS8000. My buddy made the mistake of grabbing a TS4000 kit when the local Home Depot didn't have the TS8000 on the shelves. Last I checked the...

    Further refining and weight loss

    I don't think anyone will be able to give you a real answer. Keep boiling out that acetone and give us the answer. So you're doing an acetone wash? Details???

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    You talking the entire nail or the head where the dab is applied? If just the head of the nail, why? Its gonna get torched off when you prep for your next dab. So you're just wasting fuel. If you torch the whole thing, also why? Leave it on the piece, let it get resinated as shit, except for the...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    No one was talking about reclaim buildup seizing a nail in place??? He said he removes his nail to heat it because he is worried about it breaking his piece(from thermal expansion). He does not need too. In any event reclaim buildup is a non issue if you're leaving the nail on the piece like it...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    Dude, with a fitted quartz nail theres no need to remove the nail from the piece and heat it then put it back on the piece. Especially with a FEMALE fitted piece that goes OVER the male fitting of your pipe. Theres nothing for your quartz to shatter even if it did get hot and expand on that end...

    reclaim and water?

    Here's another idea. Since it's reclaim and its already seen high temps. I think really the easiest way to get rid of the water is to stick the slick stack in the oven at 250 degrees and boil off the water. The containers are good to 450 degrees I think. You won't affect the reclaim taste at...

    reclaim and water?

    I'd pop it in the vac chamber with a bit of heat and some fresh desiccant.

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    I watched that video before I seasoned my castles. I originally was going to do that, but I just wound up going the torch the shit out of it and drop a HUGE glob of reclaim on it method. Worked great. And it was reclaim I wasn't all that worried about , not fresh shatter like in the video which...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    I doubt carb capping and heating a quartz castle will work worth a shit. The castle is hollow and the underside of the dish surface that the dab contacts is inaccessible to the flame of your torch unlike most domeless ti nails. A carb cap used in the traditional sense after the dab is applied...

    Honey Oil ISO extract

    Ah, I misread your post. I was thinking plant stems. Since it's reclaimed oil it's already been decarbed and is already ready for edibles. Winterizing may clean it up a little but is not needed.

    Honey Oil ISO extract

    Was this a frozen ISO wash? If not, you could winterize the oil and clean it up with some ethanol after the fact. If you didn't do a frozen run I would suggest doing so in the future or at the very least winterizing the ISO solution after the wash. Winterizing won't get rid of all the...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    There will pretty much always be a ring of residue left over after the dab. I don't know what exactly it is. Even well winterized errl will leave a slight residue so farscaper is probably right, residual waxes. I use a dedicated rig. Because, when its all gunked up, to clean it I just stick it...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    Good choice. I have a couple wide mouth quartz castles made by Chris Schuler, also some of his champagne cup quartz nails. Seasoning a quartz nail is easy. I've read that quarts shouldn't be blasted with a MAPP gas torch at full blast, I've done it with no issues but generally don't. Get the...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    I see this posted all the time. In my experience I do not find it to be true. The difference between shatter & wax for me is nothing but time in the vac chamber. You can accelerate these consistency changes by adding heat. But thats how you start to degrade flavor. My last batch of oil went...

    Fats/lipids in crumbles

    Whoever told you that crumbles must contain fats and lipids should be ignored. Many people don't vac purge after winterizing or doing QWET extractions. Ethyl Alcohol doesn't have to be purged out completely. But, if you don't purge it out completely you will only think that shatter is all you...

    BHO Equipment Affect Yield

    Quite the opposite, you're assuming it does not. Why do we use thread sealers? To prevent leaks of gas or liquid flowing through the thread gaps. If you put some silicone at the end of that gap, the fluid still fills the gaps in the threading and will come in contact with the silicone. Its not...
