Anyone mix abv with fresh herb

[CarolKing]

I like to sandwich herb and wax/shatter. The herb gets real dark after the first session. There is more left in the ABV because I'm still getting vapor and the ABV has an oily feel yet to it. I mix just a tiny bit of fresh herb with the oily ABV just to freshen the second session. It makes the flavor last a little longer. It really isn't a waist either because I'm using such a tiny amount.

I picked up some Dr. Who shatter and sandwiching some White Widow.

The Solo is real conservative on the product anyway. So is the Indica for that matter with the handy little spacer.

Mixing fresh herb with ABV is just making good herb worse and is pointless — that's why. Using ABV as it is, is something different all together. ABV mixed with fresh herb is indeed the Idiot's Blend.

Where I am from we where raised mixing with tabaco. So old habits die hard. When I visit mates who still practice the old ways, I always take them a jar of ABV to substitute their tabaco use.
Yes it might be an idiot blend and it does dilute the potency but there are still benefits for some.

Everybody has their tolerances and preferences and there's no right or wrong. Thank you all for your thoughtful opinions. It's great to get everybody's ideas from different parts of the country.

Never pack a cone too small so that it is going to compromise on the optimal amount of herb you should be packing.
I always pack extra, and take a few hits and then just come back to it later. At first I thought that I should finish a sesh in one sitting, but it doesn't matter at all if you leave it for a few hours. The THC still waits for you, and heating the herbs back up isn't a chore. Only one deep breathe and you've resumed the sesh as if you never left it at all

And I wouldn't go mixing it with ABV unless your desperate. More often than not the ABV is going to be a mixture of strains, sativas, indicas, hybrids, and the ABV will hit you with a sedating and 20% high effect... Not really plateuing at any real 'high' but just giving you a mild buzz, which can ruin a good strain if you mix effects.

Ok, sometimes I'll admit to "boosting" the oven in my Pax. I'll do a stir and knock out a tiny bit of the ABV and add some fresh ground flowers. It recharges the oven load a bit and makes it last a little longer. Yes, it compromises the taste. I will only do it with very lightly vaped weed- not dark at all. And it's rare that I do that.

I actually revape my ABV quite often. Usually when I run out of fresh material. I live in one of the 48 fascist states that does not allow us our basic freedom of recreational and legal cannabis. So every once in a while I will have to wait a bit to find some materials through the black market. I tend to have very light colored ABV and it always gets me vaked when I vape it.

Unless your using a one hitter, every draw after the first one is vaping ABV.

Not entirely true - sometimes I toss a whole unground nugget into my Nano if I want to enjoy more flavor and less dense clouds. After each draw, I break up the nugget into smaller bits while still loaded. There's plenty of fresh herb which isn't ABV for the first 2-3 draws

But it does depend on what vape you're using as to whether it'll taste bad or not. Some portables, in particular, near the end of the bowl, make you want to break out the mouthwash, while bigger hitters, especially with water filtration, can smooth out the taste much better.

Vaping ABV before bed is highly recommended.

Agreed!

I low-temp vape during daytime. Then revape ABV high temp before calling it a night. Add a pinch of fresh herb, as I'd miss the low-temp effects if not...

THAT is exactly what I was trying to get across in my prior posts in this thread. I do this with ELB's or gong's (HI, Nano, UD) - Vape it at low temps earlier in the day then before bed I add a pinch of fresh herb to it and crank the temperature so I get that punch between the eyes and a higher ratio of sedative compounds

It appears to be fresh herb because it has not been able to release the green chlorophyll but if you can crumble the bud after each draw it has been heat affected, which will have released cannaboids relevant to that temperature exposure. The temperature of the nugget will always be hotter on the outer than at the center but even with mild heat you can melt the trichomes. If you put your nugget under a microscope after the first draw that when pulled apart most of the trichomes have evaporated.
I think why it appears to be fresher when breaking your nugget apart is that the vaporized resins are not fully removed from the bud on the first heat pass due to lack of air circulation and when the nugget cools the vapor condenses back onto the plant matter. Then on the second draw you have broken the bud up to expose plant matter cover by a resinous film along with freshly exposed chlorophylls give it the taste of fresher bud but it is ABV all the same.

No such thing as an idiot blend — I apologize for being a complete asshole when I posted this ignorant shit.

Whatever YOU do that makes your experience better is the right way to go. It's all good.

No offence taken.

We are all entitled to our own opinions whether we think we are right or wrong.
This PC crap is getting to the point where your ostracised for not thinking the same as the do gooders.
Dont worry as I regularly shove both my big feet in my mouth.

I'll put a bit of fresh stuff into a capsule already half filled with fairly brown ABV occasionally. There's definitely a more relaxing / anti anxiolytic feel to it. Even when your ABV is much more brown than green, there's still a lot left I've come to appreciate.

Saved up a bit of ABV and going to put it with food soon, just stuck flicking through ABV threads and can't decide what to do . Had it with coffee before which was great but want to try it before bed this time.

God damn I love vaping...you wouldn't be keeping your ash from a bong to throw in an ice cream!

I mix abv all the time with fresh herb. I even rolled joints with abv haha.
