Is this after waiting a few minutes or are your finger tips numb? :) When I take out crucibles too early they feel every bit of the 390+ F temperature they are at. I think I've developed calluses from the almost burns I've been getting regularly this past year.
Regarding temps I start with...
The presence of other cannabinoids and terpenes has some affect but potency is determined almost entirely by THC percentage (need to consider combined THC and THC-A together). A terpy 20% strain might be more enjoyable than an 18% strain without a lot of terps but a big difference in THC will...
For another approach you can take a dirty stem and simmer it in a shallow pan of whole milk (or anything fatty). The warm milk fat dissolves the reclaim and then you can put the milk in food, hot chocolate, etc.
This is exactly the behavior of a Ghost MV1 when there is an air leak in the heat sink. The question is how is air getting into the bottom of the stem without first passing over the heater. Weird...
There aren't many vape stores still selling new Ghost accessories but you might find one with determined searching. Try r/EntExchange on Reddit, I see Ghost postings every few weeks (used to be far more). There are a lot of people with dead MV1's who might like to make some money on parts, you...
This is a bad bad idea. It's a misguided business venture and likely to be harmful to the public. Copper is not a safe material and under real world cleaning conditions that layer of gold a couple of microns thick will get scraped through.
I don't worry about nickel or plastic or silicon but...
The thing with carts is there are no good independent reports to confirm their safety. CCell and SPRK have a good reputation. Could there be trace amounts of lead in the embedded coils or ceramic? No one can say for sure.
I think many of us have come to the conclusion that the risk from...
There was a lot of discussion last fall when we thought carts were the big danger for our lungs. How young and foolish we were :)
I have a Yocan Groote battery that I really like. I prefer a fire button and like it's compact industrial styling (for less than $20). As for safety, it's kind...
Hey Summer, I didn't expect this thread to pop backup. I'm still using my MV1 most days, really a great vape when it is working as designed. The battery replacement hack really saved this vape for me and I'll be sad when it finally dies.
I was super tempted by the TinyMight, almost ordered it...
$100 isn't really enough for a top tier electric vape. There are mid tier vapes like the XMax Starry, POTV One, or Fury 2 that range from about $85 to $115 (best guess, I haven't double checked those prices). None of these vapes are as good as a Crafty or as efficient as your VapCap. A...
My alternative for when the MV1 isn't charged is the RBT Splinter Z, another high powered convection vape. The Z is fast and powerful but significantly hotter and is much better with a cooling stem. It's technically portable (like the MV1) but it's long and awkward on a mod and the stem needs...
We could make a guess. 25 g of 17% flower contains 4250 mg of THC (note that's milligrams). Assume that vaping removed 90% of the THC (a guess but still realistic) that means there is at most 425 mg of THC in your 56g of cannaoil or about 7.5 mg per 1 gr of oil. Since a teaspoon is about 5...
Absolutely, I sometimes vape at the computer across the room from my wife, just outside her range of vision. She hardly ever notices when I vape and exhale but when I grind, fill, dump ABV or even open my stash box she asks why I'm stinking up the house (I don't want the house to smell...
Looking back at it I see my comment could have come across as a criticism or negative comment. Sorry, wasn't meant that way. I was just hoping to counter the persistent myth. Extended debate was unexpected :)
For others reading this, please note that using rice to dry out electronics is an urban myth. Moving air, preferably warmed, is much much more effective. You'll get more drying with 2 minutes of a hair dryer than keeping it in rice for a week. A corner of a desk out in a slight draft would...
@SquirrelMaster , yeah still playing around, taking my sweet time about it. I've now spent more money buying electronics bits and pieces than a new Ghost would have cost :) But, it keeps me off the streets.
@LesPlenty , in their defense it's worth mentioning that every power tool...
I've been using the "large" 6.3 mm size from a package of spade connectors and they work OK for ad hoc power hookups. I haven't seen any standard connectors that exactly match their heavy connector blades. The female connectors on the inside are flimsy and I found them too difficult to work...
