I don't know whether this is an original idea or not, but it occurred to me standing in the Asian section of the supermarket this week that cans of coconut milk would be heaps more fatty than my normal "carton" of plant-based milk, and thus heaps better for stem milk.
A comparison of the nutritional info?
My normal Barista Grade Almond Milk contains 2.5g total grams of fat per 100ml.
The can of coconut milk from the Asian section of the supermarket? A whopping 24.3g of total fats per 100ml.
Almost 10 times more!
That appears to be the best improvement anyone could make to their stem milk if they're using plant-based milks like me. (If not the best improvement to anyones waistline!)
edit: for the record, I checked the nutritional info of a store-brand cow's milk, and it was 3.4g total grams of fat per 100ml. So even if you do drink cow milk, the cans of coconut milk are a whole other world in terms of fat content for your reclaim/thc to bind to.

Hi @AndyO,
yeah I had kind of the same idea. Bought coconut oil (not milk) and put a many hours of effort into making the best out of my vaping residuals. I even washed out the ABV. Month later I have to admit that I've never really used my ABV-Coconut-Mix because I do not like the taste of both of them
I guess the reach test just made it clear to myself that I'm not really that much into edibles (or thc-drinks). But every now and then I'm making hot chocolate made of almond milk, sweetened with honey and using my stems as straws.

I just think it's hard to get right. But I also think it's worth persisting with. I don't do edibles all the time, so when I do, there's nothing like the effect of them.
I was just writing in another thread how I spent an outrageous amount on 3 different decarb and infusion devices, but that I get use out of all of them. Especially when you find a recipe, as I have this week, that lets you use plenty of oil, stem milk, and is strong enough tasting that you could include almost as much tincture or FECO as you want.
This week I've found myself with the best edibles of my life (a super fudgy brownie). But remember how during COVID lockdowns (it feels so long ago...) we were all adopting weird new interests that we'd never cared about before? Well, making oils and edibles was mine.
So it's taken 4 years (coming back to it every few months) of working on oils, stem milk, tincture/FECO, and cannabis-friendly recipes to get to the point that they're all stupidly potent and they taste incredible.

I just rinse my piece before each session with warm water and 99% of the time that gets everything out. When that fails I just heat up my rig and spray some iso inside let it sit for 1-2 min and rinse it with warm water. Having a less complex rig makes cleaning easier. Removable stem and mouthpiece pretty much guarantees a spotless rig every time.

I am reading this but i don't know what the real tradeoff is here? I guess what I'm really asking is for this level of effort how easy is it to get this reclaim out vs. how much material that is and how effective? it must be degraded from the original dab?
As for the amount of debris can't be too bad if it is just vaping. it is combusting that makes the mess not to mention when people don't use a screen and the debris ends up in the water. Disgusting
It seems that a couple of times a week to really do cleaning might be a good rationale for buying an ultrasonic cleaner. this one is from Harbor Freight and is around $90 but there are usually coupons or sales.

@Flotsam - did you end up buying an ultrasonic cleaner? Do you use iso as the fluid? Any risk to running that given the high frequency operation and temperature rise? And if not iso, then how is the resin breaking down?

no not yet, but for the limited use i would be giving it I would just get a Harbor Freight one. I hear it is pretty good. I say that because of another board i belong to that deals w Garage, home repair, tools etc I like the reviews on there because you know they have been actually used.
From what i understand slightly warmed ISO is not so dangerous, better heated by hotplate rather than open flame. Thats why i question the collection of reclaim
I see. I have an Amazon Special ($15) kind and it's been great to clean jewelry, eyeglasses, etc. But this is all using water and dish soap. I'm most interested in understanding if resinous parts actually respond any better to being in an ultrasonic rather than a static/steep bath of ISO (which is what I traditionally use). I imagine the tub of the ultrasonic cleaner will then get resinous and that's a giant PITA to get cleaned enough to use for jewelry again.

An open flame and vapour is the combination to avoid. Heating in a microwave is safe (ish?). In my distilling days, I often "rapid aged" some of my product in the microwave to the point of starting to boil. Someone posted about putting a quart in a microwave for 10 minutes -- outside in his yard for a bit of safety. Nothing happened other than hot alcohol.

If you want to use iso in the cleaner you can put the iso and the parts to be cleaned in a bag or a thin plastic cup and place that in the water
I don't tho, and use hot water and washing up liquid in my ultrasonic
The reclaim isn't soluble so it forms into blobs that will stick to cold surfaces so you can swish a cold fork around in the solution to collect it or just tip it down the sink, and wipe around the ultrasonic bath with a splash of iso on a paper towel to remove any stuck to the sides.

My country opened some amazon imports so I purchased 5x arizer stems, just the same week I broke my last one, I did like one heavy week each and then chocolate milk, I add extra virgin olive oil and butter, then just rinse with hot water and dry with paper towel, good as new.
I have realized that current flowers have a lot of resin, it ends falling down the stem and to the mouth very quickly.
