The Boil That Oil Thread!

[manchild]

Here's a few questions for all you oil boilers. This looks very tempting.

1. How healthy does vaping oil feel to you guys? It looks pretty hot and gnarly, so does it feel like smoking on your lungs and mouth etc or does it feel like vaping?

2. Most of you guys would have gone through the process of converting from smoke to vapor and experienced a change in how much herb you use, with most ending up using less. Do you feel that there was a significant increase or decrease in herb consumed when you converted over to oil?

Even though I've never tried bho, this thread is definitely one of my favourites. Maybe it's all the pretty pictures. Keep up the good work!

^^ thanks man from all us oilers!!
for your first question... it depends how hot you get your hoot really.. if you get the pad at just the right temp it will be the best hoot ever... or you can heat the pad to much and burn the hoot.. or get a cold hoot... depends on your oil too.. if you have reallly nice smooth oil it will make it better.. now for question 2... im my expierience when you have to make the oil yourself it costs about the same from where I get it... but why spend time making it when I can get just as good if not better of a product without wasting my time... I find I save money smoking oil instead of weed... 250 bucks a 5 gram vial, give or take 20 bucks or 250-300 for an ounce... you choose

Feels healthy but I'm still a bit sketched about the butane, although there are ways to get lots of it out such as vacuum purging your oil after a regular purge. But I don't think that's what you meant. As far as the hit it feels like vaping to me (I take smaller dabs than most people, but even with big ones it's not too harsh). I only vape oil out of a a small bub with either a 3 hole diffy or a 4 hole diffy (single chambers ftw when it comes to oil) because I feel it preserves the taste and texture better than say a 10 arm tube or circ or inline or whatever. So if you want the hits to be like that of a vape it's your call, just don't take .1+ dabtastic dabs haha. The taste is epic, better than vapes imo but slightly different

I feel like I save money with oil, but my tolerance has gone up so I dunno, and I for one reason or another don't pay for me flowers..... It would be really easy to save money if you make oil out of less expensive buds that you would probably not want to smoke. I've actually found some certain stuff that is 100 a zip (premium goes for $300 around me) that makes really excellent oil so it really depends on what you make the oil with. As far as yields go here is my experience:

7 grams of the $100/zip stuff will make me 1 gram of oil, maybe 1.1 or 1.2 if I get lucky
7 grams of the $300/zip stuff will make me as much as 2 grams of oil, or as low as 1.4 depending on strain

But to me oil is all about taste, it made me really enjoy the act of consuming it, it's just absolutely delicious. and it's easy and doesn't smell up the house as opposed to combusting. Compared to vaping buds I feel like it's more convenient and I can take a hit quicker because vapes have to heat up and whatnot. Plus I LOVE glass, it makes for a more unique experience as opposed to just vaping buds out of a vape, adds a unique touch. This september I got into vaping and did until December when I got into the glass scene then I combusted out of high end glass till 4/20 when I got into oil, and ever since I've vaped oil 99% of the time and I've never really looked back.

I gotta get some pics up in this thread haha, also Minnesnowta, didn't realize you were nomis child over on GD, there's a lot of us over here I've come to learn.

 

[manchild]

Awsome responses guys thanks a lot!! Kind of what I was hoping to hear.

Gee cogz I'd love to be able to purchase pre made oil. Never going to happen in Australia I'm afraid!

Hydrophilic that's real useful info on the lower quality stuff, I'll keep that in mind.

So I think I'm gonna have to give this a whirl. Time to do some more shopping.

those numbers seem about right to me



organic makes the best tasting oil. Some lower grade stuff makes oil that tastes like crappy regs.
if the only stuff you can get is the kind that is sprayed with fertilizers and pesticides, you may want to try out water curing.

 

[minnesnowta]

Lol yup I was one of two that had a vapor milk for the last contest over there. Gd, fc and bm always have tabs open in my phone. I've started switching everything to nomis child now except for fc just because I don't wanna loose my join date/post count and I feel like I have somewhat of a reputation around here.

I found colibri around here so I grabbed 3 cans yesterday. I'll hopefully have oil tonight with more pictures. I need to take a family shot as well. My collection has grown alot

 

[cogz756]

manchild...yeah I guess australia has a little differnt rules for that shit?... I hear its considered more of a hard drug like coke or something?... is that true?

minnesnowta... I havent been on the forums for long... but I no your nomischild n minesnowta... confused me a little at first but I figured it out, as im sure alot of others did...

Ya, the $100/zip stuff is actually from the same plant as stuff I can get in the $220-$225 range, just popcorn nugs and loose stuff, and the yield is almost identical, however when combusting it there is a big difference (at least the one time I braved the cheap stuff. It's not sprayed with tons of stuff, and not coming from a mega commercial operation so I think I'm safe on that front. Did read about water curing the other day, interesting stuff.

Not really considered as hard as coke and the like but from a legal perspective it's still very much frowned upon.
The medical side hasn't picked up enough momentum due to the smoking problem and MMJ is the key to getting those dipensaries.
I'm pretty sure it used to be decriminalised in a couple of states and you were able to grow up to 2 outdoor plants with strict rules against indoor growing. But that's all changed in the last few years and there's no more growing allowed. It seems to be going in the wrong direction. Our governments are really very weak here and have very primitive drug policies. (Except for the Green Party!)
The only saving grace is that slowly they're realising that it's a waste of time, money and peoples lives to prosecute for small amounts so the police can now use their discretion up to a certain weight.

On the quality of weed used. I consider the gear I get to be top notch for here at 300-350 a zip but I honestly have no idea how it's grown. It usually tastes and smells wonderful so we'll see how it turns out. I haven't seen schwag weed for a long time thankfully!

These are the best tools ever.

that Ti nail is great, but i don't think i need a Ti dabber.

 

[hydrophilic]

I got a annodized aluminum dabber with a titanium tip and it works great, plus it was like $3 from some online jewelery maker store. Those dabbers look like they wouldn't work well anyway, the tip is huge, I prefer one with a nice point for stabbing chunks of budder. and for 1 Ti nail ($100 for the one above) you could get enough boro or quartz to last a lifetime.

 

[FEAR420]

Im sorry but if you pay $100 for a Ti nail youre a FOOL... You can easily score a Ti or Quartz nail for $40,or even a Kabley for $65-75. As for a dabber,you dont need to spend $50 on a dabber & a holder...thats just ridiculous. You can go on Amazon or ebay and get a scraper & pick set for $5....

HAHA i couldn't agree more fear! thats just silly! I saw that and my mouth just dropped... like even 80 was too much for the kableys! its just silly talk

 

[StickyShisha2]

i see they have HMK curve with Ti swing. they didn't have as many choices when i first looked at their site and got my first oil rig.


hey, they've got the essential vaaap also.

I've been meaning to look at one.

If anyone here has one of these E vapes I sure would like know how well it works, It seems to be a good way to enjoy erls on the go. I have to agree with FEAR on the ti nail/ti dabber I can see the nail being a little more expensive because of the intricate machining that appears to be involved but for that kind of money I can buy 4 or 5 dental picks.

The tip looks huge in the photo, but it isnt. The shank of the dabber is as thin as a paper clip, and the ball just helps to keep the budder chunks/oil on the shank better. Its not as big as it looks, it fits into the rounded corner of my canister where my glass dabber cannot. It works awesome for me.

I dont like the taste of quartz nails after a few hits. IMO, you cant beat the tast of ti. Please show me where I can get a Kabley nail for 65-75. According to an aqualabs post of TC, Kabley has disappeared and owes alot of people money. I dont mind paying for a classier dabber that was meant to be a dabber. I already have dental tools, but this just looks nice with my glass collection.

Those are actually awesome. I have one. The only thing that sucks is I have to either constantly clean the canisters or replace them with new ones to keep the flavor right. But still, this is the way to go for portability.

[edit]

and I just found out from a post over at glass district that they will be offering a 14mm size in a couple of days. That is perfect cause I have an oil bub which is 14. God bless aqualabs.

Sure you can,...Its called Boro/Glass.

Contact Kabley directly...theyre about $70.

Its a dabber,not a bubbler or a rig or a tube,it doesnt need to be proper,it just needs to get the job done. You wanna waste your money with ALT,be my guest...then again,you do smell strangely of an ALT rep....Just my tho

 

[Jedu]

Better rigs should be here next week, cant wait. 3rd oil run, still haven't got over 10% yeild but pretty much have purging down. Rev oiler should fix my pressure problem.

hi all pardon my ignorance but what is the propeller looking apparatus in those pics?

I have tried contacting Kabley directly before to no avail. Glass is OK, but reclaim collects in the dome faster and I have cracked several from heating them too fast. Dude I understand not wanting to pay for one, Im just saying I like having a 'proper' dabber, as you put it. As far as being a ALT rep goes, I have been a member of FC for over a year now, and these are my first ALT related posts. When I saw them pop up I got them, and when I used them I loved them and I wanted to share. Im not saying that this is a must have, its just nice to have, that's all.

and I dont think $100 is bad for these. I cant find them anywhere else. I found this one for $130,

http://www.pacificglassgallery.com/store/killa-k-titanium-nail-alex-k

but it has been out of stock since I started looking for these two weeks ago. I was waiting for a Kabley forever, then ALT took them down! This has since satisfied me.

Let us not focus on what we disagree on, but what we agree on. And on that note, I got this ready just for you FEAR

sorry crappy camera phone.

 

[minnesnowta]

Fuck I love this rig.

And HeavyDuty,sorry to tell you but Kabley has indeed "shit the bed"...That Alex K Killa K nail,I own...There was only 2 or 3 made. I highly recommend you stay AWAY from Ti and switch to Quartz or Boro. I can get you quartz nails,just lemme know if youre interested.

Please explain why. I have used all 3 and prefer Ti. I already ordered the nail off aqualabs a while ago. Pretty sure it will be the last nail I ever need. (as long as I dont lose it.) But I am curious as to why you highly recommend I stay away from Ti when every other seasoned oil head on these threads uses it.

including YOU in that youtube video you just posted
