please keep me up to date! as you know I am really interested in this... Thank you...
BTW does it clog the carts after some time, does it get darker with time, does the taste change with time? any other interesting observations? does the consistency change with time (viscosity?)..
Well, it has been 4 or 5 days since I made this cart and nothing has changed. The viscosity and color have not changed. Albeit, this rosin was very dark when I started.
Like I said before, I am not a cart man and this is just an experiment so I am only taking 1 or 2 hits a day from this just to see if it keeps working and doesn't clog. The rest of the time it just sits. So, under those circumstances, I would say this stuff is acting really well.
When I use it on my 4.8v pen battery, it gives a giant cloud hit. So, even as thick as it is, it's still working fine. A tiny 1 or 2 second preheat really does the trick.
This rosin is NOT thin. It does not move like syrup in the cart. Yet, when I stuck a pin in the cart (to burst a bubble in the rosin), I noticed that the rosin was still actually very fluid. It stirred with the pin almost like syrup but when the cart was re-assembled and turned on it's side, the rosin does not flow. I'm sure that if I laid the cart on it's side overnight, it would move. Yet, to answer you question, after 4 days, NO, it is not clogged and still works great. I am quite surprised.
@invertedisdead These ccell carts do not use a cotton wick. They use a ceramic heater that is very porous. So, once the rosin saturates the ceramic heater, even after it cools, the first hit is still a rosin hit... not a ceramic tasting hit. Plus, the holes that lead to the heater are much bigger than most I have seen and there are 6 of them so the rosin has a lot of opening to get to the heater.
The taste is not as full as taking a straight rosin hit with my Headbanger or Terp pen. It's a more subtle taste. Still, it's not a burnt taste or a ceramic taste or a VG/PGP taste. It actually tastes like rosin. Just not as strong tasting.
Also, I am testing this cart in a new battery. I bought this setup from

A great deal since you can add a ccell cart for only $2.50 when they are normally over 5 bucks.
This battery is a 'draw activated' type so there is no way to do a 2-second preheat like I do on the pen battery. I was reading about this and it seems a ton of people are complaining about this, regardless of the type of cart. Even the people who were buying dispensary carts were complaining. It seems to boil down to 'the leaning curve'. Most vapes seem to have a slight learning curve before you really get the hang of it. This battery is like that. Most people said you have to 'prime' the hit by taking a couple short puffs to get the heater warm before taking your actual hit. I found this works just fine.
So, even though I can't say I like this battery over the pen style... WOW, talk about stealth. This battery is tiny and would easily fit in your pocket WITHOUT the danger of breaking the cart off the battery like pen style batteries. I bought this so I could test it for one of my friends who is very stealth about smoking. He is a prominent political figure and smoking pot around here is still like it was in the 60's so he is real paranoid about being seen smoking or vaping anything. This entire rig could be hidden in your closed hand. Very small. It doesn't seem to give the huge clouds like the pen battery but, it gives a very nice full hit once you know how to work it.
I'll post if I see any changes. Since we are all in isolation around here, it will be a while before I can give it to him for real-life testing but I will take a few hits a day to see if it eventually clogs.
Peace.
;P
