    Vessel: Advanced Oil Pen Design or High Priced (pun intended) Joke

    I got one for xmas. Hard to say a 510 battery is worth the $100 when there are other good ones that cost much much less, but it does work pretty nicely and has grown on me. The air intake is very good though - nothing magical but there are holes for intake near the 510 connection. Result is...

    Best way to fill canna caps?

    I use something similar called the Capsule Machine which works nicely. Looks like the cap m quik has larger tray size which may speed things up. You'll also need a syringe unless the cap m quik comes with one. I don't think there's a better way to go...

    Which Fat Absorbs THC Best?

    Missed this thread the first time... very interesting data. I'll just add that I used to use coconut oil and butter like most everyone else, but recently have switched to cocoa butter. Not because of THC absorption or bio-availability (another touted advantage of coconut oil), but simply...

    ABV Heath Bar Cookies

    Can you be more specific? I always thought that most cannabinoids were more soluble in butter/oil than ethanol. Does the ethanol break down the plant matter somehow so the resin can flow out more easily?

    ABV Heath Bar Cookies

    Cool recipe. What's the reason for the ethanol in the butter?

    Yocan iShred

    Think the built-in stirrer is a really good idea that others should emulate. If you can just rotate the stirrer during a session to mix, it offsets a lot of the negatives of conduction vapes. With the "cost to stir" now much lower, who cares if you have to stir a little? Rotate the stirrer...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    Update on the cocoa butter chocolate making. Took just under half of the ABV cocoa butter form the above post and started making chocolates. I did some research to figure out the chocolate-making part of the recipe. If you google "making chocolate with cocoa butter and cocoa powder" you'll...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    Completed my batch of SV cocoa butter yesterday. Ended up going 4-5 hours at 198F. Once the cocoa butter melted in the bag, the ABV absorbed most of it which made extraction tough. So I ended up using a garlic press among other things to squeeze out all of the extract that I could... ended up...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    Just about ready to try a new batch. This time I'm going to try cocoa butter as the oil with the goal of making chocolate bars. I just weighed and bagged the ingredients. This batch is 110g ABV, 488g cocoa butter discs (1 lb bag), 28g liquid soy lecithin. Cocoa butter, while some say that...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    My experience is they are much more same than different. I'd even say they are identical in how they retain their taste. I notice the Ti feels a little cooler and the experience is slightly different but its a subtle difference. For example, I'd say the Mighty and Crafty are more different...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    So if I understand this correctly you have a non-functioning GH but are going to give up on it because its not worth the hassle / shipping in your view. That's cool. So... any interest in doing a teardown for us? I'd be interested in seeing that heater.

    PLENTY Vaporizer

    Had a boys night yesterday with a lot of different devices in the room. In addition to the good old Plenty, we had a good mix of newer portables: Crafty, a Solo, a Mighty, a Grasshopper, Ophos, plus a little combustion here and there. All those portables are great, but man did the Plenty rise...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    So mine finally came last Friday. 12/12/13 backer with a Gray Ti & a SS... serial #s for both around 1200. My impressions are pretty consistent with what everyone else has said, but here are a few impressions anyway: 1) My first impression out of the box was the GH was smaller and lighter...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    Mine came about 45 min ago...at long last! Unpacked it and took the first hit off the Ti unit. I ordered extra batteries, and I was happily surprised to see that when I popped them in the Nitecore that they were all already 100% charged. I'll probably post impressions later on the main GH...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    Given the reliability issues with early units I wouldnt recommend the GH as anyone's only vape. At least until the reliability improves which it ultimately should. I say get an air or even a solo which will be your reliable, primarily at home vape. They will last forever. Then wait for the...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    My confirmation also came this morning. Should be here Friday. 12/12/13 gray ti + SS. Glad I have two coming so hopefully one can stay healthy at any given time. But let's hope reliability is better with the recent back end fix.

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    My advice from someone who has been at this for 2+ years is not to get your hopes up. I've optimistically hoped that I'd have my GHs for summer 2014, summer 2015, holidays 2015, trips, concerts, plus countless other situations where I really could have used this vape. I've told friends at...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    If I were running GHL I would never want shipments to be held up because I was waiting for address confirmations / shipping labels when I had grasshoppers in inventory ready to ship. So I'd try to stay a little bit ahead with address confirmations even if there was some risk that I would run...

    Just got my address confirmation at long last! Hopefully others still waiting will get theirs too. Dec 12 Gray Ti + SS.

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    They must have some sort of issue where they are waiting for some part to come in before they ship new units. Maybe it was a pcb snafu, maybe the heaters, maybe something else. But both SS and Ti shipments have been stopped cold for 2-3 weeks after a flurry of shipments in early December...
