With my concentrates it's getting them completely gone but it isn't that big of a cloud?
This should have been a lung busting dab?
Not just 1 big cloud, that should be 15 minutes of ~ 4-5 big hits. I did about that exact amount of GSC oil last night, but wrapped in cotton. I got at least 5 hits before I just took out the ELB. I could have gone another 3-4 hits to milk the cotton dry.
The net/net of it was that I believe that in a few years, there will be a new philosophy on dabbing. Just like vaping with flowers has changed throughout the years, I believe that will happen in the concentrates area. Everyone wants to see the whitewall, but is the whitewall the most effective way? More testing to be done!
I would think there are many moving parts here
- quality/type of concentrate
- desired medicinal effect
- preferred delivery method (instant or gradual)
- spectrum riders
- sippers
- all day medicators
- tasters
- etc...
But in terms of verification, turbo mode on the evo, w/ a concentrate + cotton, I get whitewalls 95% of the time for high quality concentrates, and I always have residual.
Why would I always have residuals? Well if the concentrate is super-potent,(I had a ~70% THC dutch crunch BHO) the other 30% won't just vanish, it has to either get vaped too, or more likely a mix of non actives getting vaped, and a bunch of waste remaining (in my case, on the cotton) or drip down.
Since it isn't being combusted, matter is not being converted into energy. (disclaimer, I am not a physical chemist) Don't forget the old boys saying "The solution to pollution is dilution". Ergo, any drip down etc... may not be visible with all the water present.
