2 things...
1. Dogs. My current dog just doesn't dig secondhand. Not smoke. Not vapor. I am disappointed a bit, because his predecessor was a straight up weed head. I couldn't smoke (pre-vape) without him getting right in my face for a hit. He would actually put his nose right up to my mouth and I would blow until smoke came out his flapping jowls. It was hilarious! He never once choked. Would come back for more, then lay the f out.
Had to hide my stash where he couldn't get it too. Nothing makes you regret introducing your dog to MJ like ripped up baggie pieces.
2. Until recently I had only used portable vapes. Now that I have a desktop with glass, I noticed the residue collecting. I wondered... and now I know!
I've never dabbed before. I have to start collecting this.
Didn't realize you can clean in ISO and just let it evaporate to get some reclaim too. So you just keep reusing the ISO until it gets nasty, then let it evaporate?
A few different takes on this, check
this thread and look in the same area for QWISO (quick wash ISO) and reclaim. Can be done with fresh bud, or to reclaim residue from vapes. Can even run your ABV through the process if you like.
EDIT: And
HERE is the thread I meant to link to above!
IMO it's better to save up the gunky glass, clean all in ISO and evaporate sooner rather than later. I've used the same ISO for about a month and evaporated it. The result seemed more harsh and nasty than usual (evaping right after cleaning), but too many factors involved for me to say this was definitely the cause.
I think it's nice to try if you're up for it, and many do enjoy it. But, I like what I usually do now a lot better. Just scrape all the goo and whatnot off your glass dry and try to reclaim that way. Flavor is MUCH better, no need to do the whole ISO thing (evaporate, then scrape it up) and don't think you really lose too much in yield. It would be hard to measure just how much, and have never even tried. After I scrape all I can, I use ISO for final cleaning and save that same ISO for later cleaning.
Really liked your dog story, too. Is funny how some are different like that. My last dog was much more of a weed hound than my current one. Funny thing is, though they are the same breed this newer one is a goofy dumb ass, and the other was the smartest dog I've ever had! I still love the dumb ass, but if you've had a few dogs am sure you know what I mean.
When I was a teenager we had a German Shepherd that I would take on walks to get out of the house - and go get stoned with my crew. Poor dog would get stoned silly because everyone (me included) would hold her head and blow smoke in her face. After a few occasions of this she would get bugged out as soon as someone would light up. Once we realized this wasn't cute and was pretty mean, we stopped. Yeah I know... but give me a break, I was a stoned 14 year old! Anyway, after a couple times of not doing it, she started to sit next to me or one of my very close friends that she knew well and wait for us to blow some at her. Apparently she liked the smoke (and the buzz I suppose), she just wasn't too keen on somebody grabbing her head and holding it there while they tried to blow as much in her mouth as they could. FWIW, she was a pretty damned smart dog, too. If they could only talk!
