Hello,
I've been researching making my own vape carts and playing around with the formula. I am using the generic CCELL cartridges typically found on ebay (1ml).
These are made with shatter but this is not store-bought. It is very clean and is de-waxed however. You can see through it in solid form (when thin enough)
For cutting agents I have been experimenting with:
PG
PG/VG
MCT Oil
A new product on amazon - fruit derived terpenes for liquidizing - 30ml for $39.99. Flavorless.
For terpenes I have been experimenting with lemon oil, grapefruit oil extracts found at whole foods.
So far it is possible to make an incredible looking/smelling eliquid with any of the above (other than VG). Adding VG makes the mix cloudy as expected. I think VG would be great to get vapor but it messes up the juice.
The issue is you can't get any real vapor without adding a few drops of the lemon or grapefruit oil extract and then it seems like you're just getting vapor from that.
Are these carts junk and I need to use something else?
Is my mix wrong?
I have the mix pretty high viscosity. I have taken it high enough it seems to leak through the coil so that's not the issue.
I have also taken several long hits and didn't inhale the vapor just to run a lot through the coil. It will produce some vapor at about 4 second hits but very little and not normal based on the experience with the "professional grade" Rx rigs. After 15-20 seconds of chain vaping it produces vapor but then goes back to almost little/nothing after that.
The carts are being used in the mystica battery. These are always fully charged and work great with other carts.
I have a big mod to use if the suggestion is to run a lot more power through it. I don't see why these don't produce much vapor at all.
Any tips on how to get some vapor out of this setup?
Note: I've tried several different strains of Hybrid and Sativa. Currently working with Sour Diesel.
Shouldn't the shatter itself vaporize and produce some clouds? I'm not looking for major max-VG liquid clouds here, but this is currently producing very little, almost no vapor.
