Hey
@skipbifferty I just noticed your thread here. If you're looking for some info on easy ways to make tinctures (using store bought wax and shatter as a starting point), check out the thread I started on the topic.

I don't have asthma, but I have slowly switched from smoking to vaping to juice vaping over the years. Although juice vaping presents the least impact in my system, it still feels like it dulls my lungs.
I didn't consider tinctures much in the past because the price at dispensaries didn't seem reasonable and the process to make them from flowers seemed laborious and not resulting in a potent, concentrated tincture like the ones from the dispensary.
It wasn't until recently that I considered making tincture from concentrate (which I can find cheap at dispensaries). It's a great shortcut, and you can make potent, concentrated tinctures that don't require much liquid per dose. The less liquid, the easier it is to soak under the tongue instead of swallow, resulting in a faster acting, brighter, buzzier high compared to candies, or even slower edibles.
