Can tinctures be used like wax or ejuice?

[wiggles]

I usually have some dabs, some herb, and some homemade alcohol-based tincture on hand for medication. Usually I use the tincture by mixing it with a little milk. However, I would really love to be able to buy a pen-style vape and use the tincture that way too for a faster time (I can't stand the tincture sublingually because I use everclear so I usually mix it with a beverage and drink it).

Does this work? Would I have to switch up my recipe to use glycerine??

I've wanted to put a drop on my MFLB concentrate tray but I'm concerned I could hurt the thing.

I know you asked about switching to glycerine, and I have to let others chime in about that... but would probably avoid alcohol based tinctures in an MFLB. Since it can combust herb, assume it could ignite alcohol... just IMHO, as I have no experience with either.

Also don't know about inhaling alcohol vaporized...

NO PLEASE GOD DON'T

You can do a qwet and mix with Ejmix from amazon. And that vapes in a ecig you might be able to still out the alcohol somehow too

I would evaporate the alcohol out of your tincture and mix that with Puff Majic. That would give you a juice that would work great in a pen. You don't want to vape alcohol though. Its definitely not good for you.

I would not vape alcohol. But Sthedubya seems to have it down, i'd listen to him and make yourself some ejuice.

This; I've never heard of Puff Majic, but seems just like EJMix, which can turn concentrates/herbs into eliquids.
I hear you don't have to dissolve it entirely in the base, but only a little bit to dissolve the oils, then dilute with pg/vg for a calculable potency and volume of liquid. And try to keep it out of the light, so a brown glass bottle in a cabinet would be pretty ace for that

You can not ejmix straight from herb, only from extracts. You shoudk be able to purge the ethanol from your tincture via ejmix and then load I to ecig tank such as mpt3

You can not ejmix straight from herb

Interesting, it says on their site that you can; perhaps you're not familiar with this method?
If that guy can do an extraction with heat, pg, and vg, I don't see why EJMix can't strip the herb as well, especially considering the range of polar and non-polar solvents used in it.
Maybe I should do even more research..

Puff Majic works the same way as EJmix but has a way better taste. EJmix is just pg&peg, Puff Majic has gone way beyond that. I have tweaked some liquids for flavor but def don't add vg. It will make it get clumpy.

Interesting..
I thought EJMix used PEG400 along with a slew of other isomers; no big deal to use Puff Majic instead. edit: especially at the same price (actually cheaper when you buy 120mL)
I checked PM out a little bit ago and it looks pretty solid, I want to try some of those flavors haha.

You can do it. I have. The cons are its low strength but that can be worked around if your motivated. If you are using buds you need to grind it well and do small batches. If I mix wax I go 1gr to 3ml puff majic. The 1gr wax is probably about 8-10gr bud before extraction. My point is that processing 8-10gr of ground up buds into 3ml of juice is tough. When I did it I did about an oz of ground dry bud into one bottle of puff majic but split the oz up about 6 ways and soaked the bottle of majic in each of the 6 one after another. The resulting juice was tasty and more weedy than concentrate juice. But it was a bunch of work and figuring out a rig to press the liquid out of the bud and filter it was tricky.

I guess I would say that if I didn't have a good source of wax I would probably do it as I still prefer the liquid vape to smoking bud these days. But I can get concentrate no problem so I personally don't do it. Just did it as an experiment more for fun.

I haven't bought EJmix in ages but im pretty sure it was just pg and several different numbered pegs. I never liked the taste and gave it away. I bought peg400 and played with that to. Its not good alone really. What first impressed me with the majic was that they figured out how to make something with peg in it not taste like burnt poo. I wouldn't have stopped smoking buds if I had to vape burnt poo that's for sure. And dry herb vapes just don't get me where I want to be.
All the flavors are good but not big on the majic philly. Its blunt flavored and never liked blunts really. Does taste like smoking a blunt though. My buddy likes it.

I just add about .3ml of 0 nic 50/50 to my mix, doing qwet and ej, gives it good taste and no separation before a tank is gone. I'm gonna try PM after the ej so I know which I like to use better, I prefer to drip a couple drops and I'm great I mix my ej 3:1 as well.

@StheDubya
Are you soaking your ground
herb in the Puff Majik and then straining or doing a QWET/QWISO/BHO extraction and then mixing the resulting oil in with the Puff Majik PEG solution?

 

[fogvalley]

I don't grind my herb just wash it whole, less plant matter. Imo

For my norm I just use concentrates but my experiment I mentioned before was ground buds soaked in Puff Majic. Works pretty good. I haven't tried it as just a wash

 

[BlueTeam#11]

@StheDubya, can you tell me what flavor of the Puff Majic
is your go to?
