I did my batch this past weekend. They are okay. I could not find any schwag, so it's all abv. They are okay but not as good as previous batches. I blame the lack of schwag. It will be a while before I can make more as I have hit dry times

I have. Actually my first attempt at qwiso, I used everclear rather than isopropyl. I figured if I messed it up I could cook with it without worrying about evaporating off everything. Since then, I have read that sometimes sugar in the everclear may not get evaporated out, which is why iso is...

A water bath just seemed like a lot of extra effort when you could just leave it out for a day our two with no effort at all.

I hope this isn't too late, but I would not do a waterbath. I'd just evaporate it down. Your problem got me thinking about controlling dosage. For a fresh batch of swamp water, I was thinking if you evaporate it down to a muddy sludge like consistency. Then to get it back in liquid form...

So I've been leaching for about 10 days so far. I got everything ready but realized I only had 1/3 cup of duff. So I've been using my oil jar as my abv jar and I just keep adding to it. In about 2 more grams, I'll let it sit for another 4 days and then make my brownies. I took a taste last...

I'm just trying to understand why you'd watercure AVB.

So someone mentioned they watercured abv. Was this for cooking purposes?

Buck, I wouldn't strain it. I'd store it in a dark cool place like a kitchen cabinet or if you are worried about it going rancid, keep it in the fridge. When you are ready to cook with it, give it a smell check. If it smells rancid or rotten pitch it. Otherwise, cook when you can. Last...

So, thanks to herbgirl, I've been reading about herbal oil infusions to try to figure out the best oil to use for the leeching and vegetable oil is okay but a lot of herbal oil infusions are done with sunflower seed oil. Be careful with peanut oil and olive oil. Apparently those can go rancid...

About how many grams is a 1/2 cup? I wonder if you could just put a 1/2 cup of oil in a jar and let your abv hang out in there until it weighs what it should with a 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup of abv and then let it sit 4 more days. I've played with Butter and Grain Alcohol before. I threw...

Personally, I don't see a problem with it. They offered her Buy 2/ Get 1 Free and she declined to take them up on it. Your friend only bought one SSV. You bought 2 online and they honored it. I understand their logic, I guess. It's Buy 2 / Get 1 Free. Not Buy 1 Now, Buy 1 Later and get 1 Free.

If you are worried about wasting vapor by exhaling it, could you exhale into a bag and reclaim some of it? Maybe use a gallon freezer bag with a straw? I think I might go try this right now. Edit: I'm definitely getting vapor. But its kind of a pain in the ass.

Yea. I just tried it with my beach ball and its not going to work. And yea, I love edibles at shows. That's what I've been doing since I discovered the joys of ABV. I'm probably going to get a MFLB with my next paycheck.

Pardon my ignorance. I have a whip style vaporizer and I've never had the opportunity try one that uses bags. Would it be possible to use a Beach Ball as a bag for a bag vape? It'd be a great stealthy way to bring your vapor into a concert or a festival or the beach. Oooh. I wonder if I...

Use the ball end on the poker tool and pack down your bowl a bit, so it's not so loose that it spirals up. Just try not to pack it down so much that it restricts airflow too much.

No problem. A heating pad could be another source of heat for future experiments. Anyways, I'm interested in your results. Good luck.

Well we know heat on the windowsill won't be a huge deal, considering most of us heat it up on the stove. I'd probably try on the windowsill in a amber or blacked out jar. That takes light out of the factor but you'll still get some heat.

I got my SSV last June after I got home from seeing Phish. My buddy that I went to the show with convinced me to check out the Vapor Genie. My local shop didn't have it but it did have the SSV. I bit the bullet after reading how good it was as far as Whip vapes go. And I like glass. And I...

I think I'm going to have to try the candy. I used way too much peppermint extract in my tincture. It tastes like mouthwash but it's pretty hot. I think I might try Lemon extract for my next batch.

also for a post straining treat, after I press as much out as I can, I put my spent abv in a steel tea ball and put that in a tall coffee cup with whole milk and a bag of green tea. I then pour boiling water in to top off the cup. And let it steep for 5 minutes.
