Hi,
Thanks for all your info! I'm not quite sure I am getting it. If the Electronic Doobie requires a base liquid, why do they say you can use straight THC?
My friend says it gets him high, and is stealth as far as being inconspicuous.
Also, if you do mix your honey oil with a PG base, is that a similar base to an e-Cig? If it is is there a harm in inhaling this PG base?
You're welcome, hope it helps. While one might say guys trying to sell things make all sorts of statements that are confusing, misleading or out and out deceptive (many might even say for profit), what you've just heard is the truth. E-cig style carts need a carrier, straight oils don't work. Let alone 'straight THC' (doesn't really exist to us, of course), PG being perhaps the closest?
IMO the jury is still out on PG base, for sure it's not the sort of stuff nature gives you to breathe normally. It will work, you can dissolve the THC in the base and then vape them both away together. Part of the rub is you can only dissolve a fairly small amount (something like 20% at best?) into the base, and of course half what the cart has is left behind when you're done with the part that will feed is typically lost. Since the base makes lots of 'smoke' but no high, they crank the feed rate up so you get 50 maybe 80 'good' hits. In this version of things is 'best case', guys out to make a buck can 'water' it down. But let's assume 50% oil and a 4 to 1 mix (20%)? So every cart will have 100 mg of THC and will deliver half of that over it's lifetime of 50 to 100 (at the very best) hits, let's say
75 at 2/3 of a mg each. If you need say 3 mg to get off and absorb about 50% you should feel nine hits (3 mg absorbed)
8.3 sessions to this standard.
Loading that same oil into an Omicron or Revolution cart, OTOH, needs no carrier. You load and use 100% oil. No fake smoke, sorry, only the vapor kind. So your gram gives you 500 mg all of which is vaporized away (the 150 mg 'left' is recovered when the cart is refilled). So if we
triple the 'thickness' of the cloud to
2 mg per hit, we get 250 hits. 3 such hits deliver 6 mg, of which we absorb 3 to be on par with the nine hits above.
83 sessions, ten times as many. That's taking a third the number of hits of three times denser vapor.
And in one case you have complete control of what goes in and comes out. In the other, your options are much less.
You decide, but there's the numbers as I see them.
