parchment paper is your best friend for handling oils, if it starts sticking to the paper, just put it in the freezer for a bit. i believe you could mix up your qwiso with some herb in a vape, as the concistency is just about that of kief. it may clog screens a bit quicker though.
i can achieve quite generous clouds with my 1/4" twig, but i believe it actually might have the 5w heating element of the 3/8" core, which could be the reason for that
post pics when you scrape it up, im sure its quite tasty :) the picture i posted was more or less like the ones in this link, lemme know if you can see em

the consistency is nearly powder, but clumps up much easier and is much stickier...
does your qwiso look like this when scraped up?
this is the type of consistency i get when i do not use heat to purge, or if i use too high of heat when purging. great for bowl topping, but hard to dab.
expect a decently long wait, they are still going through pre-production for that nifty little item. they said that even beta testing wouldn't be happening for a good while.
i tend to just shake fairly vigorously, but be warned if you shake too hard the nuggets can break apart releasing more chlorophyll, tannins, plant matter etc. into your product. swirling actually might be a better idea.
since everyone is commenting on this again, now that i have my macbook back, i can post the actual steps for budderking's hydrochloric acid purge, it was in my stickies :P
Hydrochloric Acid Purge
1. Using raw extract weigh mass and take note.
2. Add 10 times this amount of grain alcohol & mix...
dberms got you covered haze, also about the filter over the jar, it takes FOREVER for the alcohol to seep through it if you don't use something to push it through like dberm mentioned. that would increase your soak time to well over a couple minutes, extracting much more unwanted contaminants.
nothern lights is an excellent strain and one of the first stable hybrids of sativa and indica! while i actually have never vaped this strain, it is an awesome smoke, and i hope to get my hands on some of this again in the future, its been awhile since i've had any.
Underdog aromatherapy definitely stands out amongst those "other companies" with its incredible service and family business feel. these are few and far between these days, and i've really come to appreciate Dave's hard work and presence here on these boards; i know i'm talking to a real dude...
i dont think ISO or BHO is any more potent than the other, it all depends on the starting material used, its not like one solvent is going to magically make the actives extracted more potent. that being said, i agree that BHO has a different high to it, but i attribute this to less plant matter...
you can freeze edibles for extended periods of time, though i would not freeze nuggets. i would agree that concentrates are your best bet, but if you're talking about california and not canada, than COME ON you guys had 16 dispensaries closed, thats not shit!
may i ask why you need long term...
butane is dangerous when not handled properly, no doubt about that, but for runs less than an oz, you really dont have much to worry about as long as you stay away from flames/possible sparks. make sure there is no liquid butane left on your pyrex before you move indoors and you are golden...
if you are going to be making hash oil from nuggets, don't waste your time with qwiso, go straight to BHO. its really not as dangerous as people make it out to be, granted you have the brain capacity of a normal human being :lol: the end product is much purer, and the yield will be a lot...
i agree with the pot users, but i still think vaporists are few and far between. i have met many, many stoners since i started up, and only a handful of them owned any vaporizer at all (usually a china box/whip vape) and out of those few, none of them vaped more consistently than they...
