Y’all, inspired by this Leafly article, I made ABV tea. Whoa! I didn’t start low enough LOL

10 Ways to Use AVB ('Already Vaped Bud') Marijuana | Leafly

I made a cup of black tea and also steeped about 1/2 tsp of ABV with it. Some honey and coconut creamer. Taste ok, ABV flavor comes through a little. Probably better in coffee. But damn! I’ll be doing this again

Becoming a big fan of abv tea!

After googling led to suggestions that fat was necessary to extract and bind the THC, this time I added 1/2 tsp coconut oil in water, and simmered the ABV for 15 minutes, then brewed black tea as usual. I’m not really noticing a difference, and the first method of just steeping it in with the tea is much simpler.

This is a fun read/listen.

Behold the awesome chair for my vaping corner I found curbside today!

I remember those! The downside is how much actual space they use, they don’t play nicely with other chairs either

Put the filter in, put it on a mug, pour ~80c water in (I just wait a minute after the kettle's boiled), wait a few seconds, put the plunger in and press down.

It's that easy.

But just like a dynavap, you can adjust it to how you like it, by adding different amounts of coffee/water or steeping it different times.
My first cup was a bit weak but delicious, my second ultra strong, my third is maybe still a little strong, drinking it now.

Not experienced the Aeropress, but still loving la vida French press...I like to make it strong

Ah how I love to mingle with the similarly afflicted ! Coffee and weed are the cornerstones of my existence...here's to caffeine and cannabinoids guys !

Indeed, civilization is important....

My last vape related purchase was a Shadow M in the Black Friday sales. I think in 2019 I'll be turning my attention to buying from some of the incredibly talented and creative individuals who inhabit our dynaverse. I'm on the list for a Mother Fluxer IH from @Fluxer Heaters at the moment.

I bought the sandblasted M...other than that, I’ve restricted myself to tips, caps, etc.
*STILL* wish DV would put cap engraving back on the menu but not holding my breath. And as theses things go, I seem to have completely lost track of an original M and my Omni...

Eagerly awaiting MotherFluxer production...the ‘Caps are not the same without IH

10 hours who the f would want that.

Wasn't much else going on around here.

Anyone have a milaana? I’m considering one and curious how folks who like the vapcap feel about the milaana. Thanks for any input

Just fixed a nice cup of ABV tea to pre-game game 7

I've got three or more jars of ABV at the moment. I think it's time to get some coconut oil and give that route a go. Haven't done that yet. only eaten the ABV raw/mixed in food in the past.

Love this chat idea. ABV... seriously can't waste that in my routine. There is still medicine in there. And yes, I mean meds, not just buzz.

I consume my ABV as garnish on dinner. Turns out the flavor of ABV is something I can't taste as it is something I am so use to when vaping. I also only use one strain. I loose out on everything except terps and the final roast flavor. Everything else is just a sensation rather than a flavor.

I process my top shelf herb to dust. I get all the little leaf-stems out with a strainer. I grind my herb through common kitchen strainer and all the 3mm long 'logs' remain behind. Those can be hard on the gut. When the ABV is done, I run it through the strainers one more time.

Most of my ABV is dark meaning it is mostly CBD anyway. With 0.4G at dinner will put me out by 10:00. But not too long. My daily dose is 0.5G. Funny how hard it is to keep up that pace daily when vaping. This is what I do to keep debilitating cramps at bay. A technique 3 years in development and difficult to test. Vaping was the latest twist in the process and for 4 months now, so far, so good.

However, I do want to know if infusion can be done in a way to salvage my needed loids and noids that are managing my condition. Or is it likely that after infusion, some of the critical elements are also lost? Pain management was easy to solve with cannabis; cramps are hard to formulate a solution for. Mine is Blue Dream.

I think vape poo is just

 

[TommyDee]

If my taste buds worked, they'd probably agree with you @lookhigh

There are ways to remove that negative taste and still get all the good drugs we still want out of the vegetable material.

I sometimes have a bowl of ABV straight from thee cap, still warm and crunchy. I kind of like the taste but not enough to always eat it.

Most gets binned.

 

[TommyDee]

straight from the Launch Box indeed ... seriously, if I could taste this, it would probably be horrible. But I can't. Those receptors are full up with this strain. What is even more interesting, the farm doesn't matter. I will get a slight flavor bump when switching farms or batches, in the end, it is all Blue Dream and its commonality keeps me from tasting or smelling the stuff. I have some hemp that simply tastes delicious! Perfect VC fodder. Full stop excellence! That ABV gets shot out of the cap to the great outdoors. There is nothing medicinal in the hemp that the BD isn't already providing. This is purely for flavor. Which means I need to change out the hemp strains too or the same will happened.

 

[StringTheorista]

@Planck I do that too sometimes. The rest goes into a jar and, eventually, tea.

 

[lookhigh]

Now i know what green tea is or should be.

Hey VapCats, hope all are well. Anyone else having crazy batshit dreams / nightmares brought about by Coronavirus-provoked unvoluntary T-breaks? My last vape was a week ago and the last 4 or 5 nights have been nuts. I know it's related to unsupressed REM sleep but jodeeerrr, I'm exhausted

Dee cha no that one of the indicators of dreaded Covid is the loss of taste? Simell, too.

 

[TiSteamo]

@Ricardo what's the problem, man?

 

[TommyDee]

Dee cha no that one of the indicators of dreaded Covid is the loss of taste? Simell, too.

Then I've had Covid since Aug '19 This happened when I was still combusting - different variants.

Sorry to hear about your forced t-break. This is one time when I would not want to run out.

@Ricardo does your area have any delivery services?

I wish! We live in rural Spain . Weed is illegal . The Civil guard are patrolling the streets. Only essential movement is permitted. Growers can't attend their crops, supplies are way down, meetups are riskier than ever and prices have tripled (I understand).
I use weed for recreation, sure, but also for anxiety and as a sleep aid. I can live without it but my sleep is fucked up. It's not the end of the world (or is it?). The irony is that with a simple phone call to my doctor, I could have limitless supplies of benzodiazepames , but maaan I hate that shit . So that's the story all across Europe.
