RezBlock /Cranberry Extract

[mvapes]

Hey JL - 6 weeks? That sucks, I just ordered it to and it arrives Tuesday. You should contact amazon.

Depending on what seller you choose, price and availability varies. Amazon doesn't have it in its own stock currently but some other vendors on the platform does.

I bought from Amazon and it said six weeks. I'm not in a hurry and I'm sure it will come sooner.

Well, I was vaguely following this thread, but wasn't too keen based on the price...
With all this recent talk of the natures answer cranberry extract being just as good, I'm interested

I found it for $7.84 + $4 shipping, and I believe that's worldwide

So, a few Rez block noob questions:
Do I need to swish it around my glass piece before a sesh, or will the stacking of the piece give me the same effect?
Does it affect the stacking characteristics of the water at all?
What's the consensus on where the extra goodies are going (since they aren't gonna be on the glass) in our lungs or in the water?
Are there any reclaim possibilities/issues? (Would I need to be careful of anything if/when I do end up doing an ISO wash where I recycle it and eventually evap off?, anyone found any way to use the little "floaties" I recall reading about?)

How well does this work for combustion resin? I have a buddy that almost refuses to change his water, let alone clean his bong, I'll donate him a bottle of this if it'll keep his piece clean

 

[t-dub]

RezBlock was made for combusters so give your buddy a bottle No need to swish, you will notice stacking differences based on how strong you mix the solution and how old it is. No real consensus on the extra goodies, I mean you can see some of them in the liquid when it turns opaque so we know there are some there but . . . the floaties will be white (emulsified) on the outside so I'm not sure what they will do in ISO. Welcome Frederick . . .

Thanks for sharing mate! 9.16€ with shipping is a really nice price, going to order a bottle right now

Edit: They give me a code discount for someone that does his first order "Your personalized gift code, KBD329 is worth up to $10.00 off any order by a first-time customer." I hope someone can use it

Shill much t-dub? I don't understand why else anyone would continue to recommend/advertise an inferior product.


mod note: You need to review the 'Be nice' section of the rules page.

I read them. It was easy, as they are very simple and clear.

 

[VaporEyes]

Just as Frederick McGuire, I didn't have much interest in rezblock. Now, with the mentioning of this nature's answer extract, I feel it may be beneficial to experiment. Thanks for the link, Fulvic.

That's not very nice....He's sharing a product he uses with us. 420Science does not pay him. If he never introduced RB to the forum you would not have known to even look for a better(?) alternative. I'd say you owe T a big thank you not childish name calling. you may want to browse the Rules page

If you could kindly point where I call him a name, I would appreciate it.

I definitely didn't hear about RezBlock through this thread, just it's success. I don't even know what the point of your comment was TBH. Most people have thicker skin than that...

 

[way2]

Shill?? Sorry if I offended you that's just my opinion. Thick skinned or not I wouldn't like being called a shill....

 

[Fulvic]

In context, I used the word "shill" as verb not a noun.

I read the rules and I am well within them. You, however, are derailing a very popular and informative thread.

EDIT: I appreciate you editing your post to apologize, but I'm not offended.

Still, way2 has given me perspective and I'd like to apologize to you t-dub if I did in fact offend. I do not think you're a representative of 420 Science. The intent behind my comment was to encourage recommending against RezBlock. The coupon codes and the plugs could be confusing or misleading to the newcomers/lurkers who are making their first purchase.

mod note: You don't define the boundaries of the rules. We do, and the mod note in your post above says 'shill' or 'shilling' is outside the lines as we define them. It's a derogatory term and not allowed.

So you also define all interpretations of the rules? I was criticising. I was not disrespecting, flaming, attacking or trolling. The only source of disruption is the fractious nature of some members of this community. Namely the mod who edited my posts and whoever else decides to derail a good thread by speaking out about how they were offended by my criticism.

And now I've broken the rules

Hey much thanks man ! I just took 3 bottles for $26.34 shipped that's good, but no way to use b0 code, it does apply in the first time but after that they give you full price...

That's funny, some is going to end up in a piece we both had our hands on, my mobius matrix disc was originally yours

I just bought 2 bottles and got $5 off with your code
I'm not sure if its a one time use thing or whatever, but I got one too
Your personalized gift code, JVT050 is worth up to $10.00 off any order by a first-time customer.

It's $5 off for an order under $40, $10 off for an order over $40.

Glad everyone is liking the site, it didn't take much googling to stumble upon it

Enjoy the möbius, its quite well travelled

Shill much t-dub? I don't understand why else anyone would continue to recommend/advertise an inferior product.

Weird, I didn't see him recommending RezBlock instead of Nature's Answer.

This is the RezBlock thread and I've come to associate that name with the idea of cranberry+citric+glycerine in a water pipe. T-dub was responding directly to Frederick, who had expressed interest in the Nature's Answer extract and was asking questions about the general performance of the stuff by referring to it as rez block.

When t-dub said "give your buddy a bottle", I'm pretty sure he was referring to the Nature's Answer or to either. He was just repping the effects of this water additive, just as he always has.

 

[t-dub]

Still, way2 has given me perspective and I'd like to apologize to you t-dub if I did in fact offend.

Apology noted, not accepted, offense taken. I mean to help people here, I use RezBlock as a generic term sometimes, sorry about that. I used the video to show Fred that it was made for combusters. I am going to try Nature's Answer when I use up my current supply. Just for the record, one evening of use does not make a "review" in my opinion.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

On the ele-ele-elevator up!

 

[Tweak]

Does it affect the stacking characteristics of the water at all?

It makes a huge difference IMO. I remember my first session with RezBlock, I could see a bubble reach the top of my bubbler and pop, releasing the first cloud of vapor. As seen in Quetzalcoatl's post above^^^^. That was my moment.

That's the number one reason I still use RezBlock, my pieces don't stack the same without it. It has even revived my older bubbler for vape use as now it stacks better than before, and with less diffusion than my main driver, it gives me more flavor for the first few hits. Plus I really don't need to worry about keeping it clean as RezBlock does the job.

I'm looking forward to playing with it more now

I noticed the other day that my lattice was stacking like crazy with some slightly stale water, it'll be awesome if I can replicate that with rezblock/cran

I'd mostly be using it at my buddies place, where I wouldn't rinse out/clean the piece after pouring it out, the rezblock won't leave any sort of sticky residue or anything will it?
(Just noticed the irony of asking if a solution being used for its non-sticking properties will be sticky , but I figure if its originally fruit based its a possibility )

Since my buddy doesn't change his water often, will he still be fine using rezblock?
He's not silly enough to use his bong if its already got mold growing in it or something, but since the cranberry is essentially food, I'm wondering if there's any more of a chance for something subtle yet nasty to develop vs regular water.
I figure it'll be similar to the situation now, where a water change will obviously be better, but if he's willing to use it, it should be fine?
I recall reading about mold growth way back in the thread, but that was the old formula, with a piece that was left alone for a few days or something like that...

Fred, if you let this stuff sit around it will grow things in it. Not as bad as the original formula but it still happens. I add a little silver hydrosol to help keep things clean, but my immune system is suppressed, so I have health concerns normal people do not. I am going to try using some SSKI (super saturated potassium iodide solution) to see if that can be made workable . . .

 

[b0]

Natures answer cranberry extract sent today, hope to be testing it next week!

Any tips of use? How many drops you use?

I'd say if he's routinely not changing the water by the 4th day, then rez block might not be the best idea

 

[mvapes]

Alright - so I got my Rezblock and so far I like it. Absolutely zero flavor and it seems to be doing its job. The only thing I don' like is that it seems a little sudsy. But in no way does really bother me....

 

[t-dub]

mvapes, you will notice the sudsing goes down after a hit or 2, mixing a little weaker might help as well. Welcome to the fun

 

[mvapes]

Thanks T - your right, sudz subsided and I am enjoying this. I think it makes the glass look nice too with the red tint.
