Yah, I'm thinking french press style for a butane/iso extraction - just to get the last oily remnants of the solvant out of the ground herb as well as speed the process (I HATE waiting for stuff to make its way through a funne/filter by gravity alone). Vac makes sense for getting the tane to...
Nosferatu - one question:
Have you vaped a high purity oil/budder/wax/putty off of a skillet or a hot nail?
While I enjoy smoking too, if I had to pick only one single type of hit thats what it would be. The purity and clearness of a pure, milky vaped concentrate is something amazing to behold.
So true. There is so much going on technologically in the cannabis world. The tech used for cannabis is a few decades behind most other consumer tech as far as I can tell. Hopefully more legalization and the success of traditional investment in products (like this vape) will bring more...
Question on the vacuum filtration:
Does this simply increase your yield, or is there another reason to do this? Assuming the only issue is better filtration for high yield, I assume a french press setup (with a beter filter obviously) with high pressure would yield similar results?
I'm no doctor, but this aligns with everything I know about the body. Your stomach can take a beating, and if it gets too bad, it will throw up for you. I think as long as you fully mix the bubbles out you don't need to worry about your solvant assuming you know its pure butane, alcohol, hexane...
As someone who is not a huge fan of ingestion I can't say I have thought about this that much, but I must say I haven't worried that much about this. As long as you know the boiling points of your solvants and whatever adulterants you have you can get rid of the contaminants. With most solvants...
I feel you dude. I love the variety. I tend to vape from a MFLB in the morning for a wake and bake before a shower, then do some oil/budder after breakfast for a clear clean high to get stuff done, and round out the evening with smoking various kief's concentrates and straight up weed. Well ok...
Just got on the preorder list - SO psyched to get my hands on it.
Two questions:
1 - can I use pure concentrates in this? Oil, wax etc? If not, how about with a charcoal puck setup?
2 - I live in the Sacramento area and travel frequently to the bay. Is there a shop or somewhere I can come to...
I can confirm everything said by vaplexus. The adaptor is heaven. To my feel it is 10-20% hotter than batteries, and super simple - no charging. I have a plug in in my car so I hardly have to use the batteries at all. Obviously if you have access to a plug, you would be better off with a...
Scraped from a cleaner part of the pan this time, was much better. Not good enough that I will finish it off, but not bad enough to throw away. I suppose I'll put it in my rainy day "dankrupt" emergency stash.
I did however pick up some supplies for my next experiment. I got some hexane and...
The "acid and baking soda" process I was referring to was the isomerization process given by Robert Nelson in his Cannabinoid Chemistry. In his process, he uses bicarbonate to neutralize the acid.
I am not that concerned with needing to ingest this specific batch - it is not particularly tasty...
Heh, you are right, stuff actually kicked really hard. Its a dirty high that tastes terrible, but according to my very unsophisticated "lung-chromatograph" says the THC content is surprisingly high. Can't wait to make something that doesn't taste like ass.
Mine won't stick a magnet, but it is definitely like the first one, not the second. Gotta upgrade. My current one I got for free after smoking out a head shop clerk. You get what you pay for...
edit: and by free I don't mean I stole it.
Hi everybody!
I"m a 25 year-old male and I recently decided to be self employed and start up a small studio making iOS and Android apps and doing mobile websites (my background is software engineering). I was born in Sacramento and grew up in Detroit, rural Pennsylvania and rural Utah. I now...
Good point - mine is definitely one of the cheap ones (though I did verify that the griddle was real titanium). I wouldn't have thought that fine differences like that (air pathway size) would matter, but after finding a much better experience after bending the wire to reposition the griddle...
Thanks, and yes, decarboxylation was the term I was looking for - I'm not wanting to carry out the acid/baking soda process. So as long as I'm not ingesting the stuff, I'm fine as far as heat treating goes?
K, so the very small amount of the golden oil is my real product - the half gram or so...
