Hey guys. I've been a medical patient in Florida for 2 years now. When I first got my card, they only allowed cartridge vaping. So I went to the dispensary, got my free battery, and spent the last 2 years paying WAY too much. When the pandemic lockdown started, my dosing went up, and I realized I needed to find a cheaper option. I started researching, found FC, and have spend the last couple months browsing. I got a Healthy Rips Fury Edge for flower (it has since become allowed in FL), and also started filling my own CCELL carts with distillate to help keep costs down.
I've been using the dispensary-provided battery, but realized after messing with the temperature settings on the Healthy Rips that I could be adjusting the experience with a more advanced battery as well. So I did some research looking for something basic, small, magnetic, with variable voltage, and settled on the Yocan Uni Pro. I got it from a local shop, and quickly realized when I started using it that I have no idea what voltage I should be using for my home-filled CCELL carts. I've experimented, and researched, and am confused by my results.
I first started at a low voltage of 2.4v with the CCELL reporting 1.6 ohms. The flavor was better than the battery I've been using, but after a few puffs it started tasting like I was getting dry hits. So I upped the voltage, assuming maybe 2.4v wasn't hot enough to warm the distillate to saturate the ceramic between puffs. I'm still trying different voltages out, but don't want to waste too much experimenting, and was hoping someone could help me answer a few questions.
1) What voltage range should I be trying out? The distillate is ~85% THC, so it's pretty viscous. The CCELLS ohm range seems to vary from 1.4-1.7. Which leads me to my next question;
2) Is it normal for my CCELL resistance to jump around like that? It'll change sometimes when I just pull it out and put it back in.
3) Anything else I should be aware of or know about if I'm new to filling my own carts?
Thanks in advance for the great advice I'm sure I'll receive after reading through the forums. I'll be back soon, I also have an EZ Sai coming in the mail tomorrow for other concentrates. Complete and total noob to that one. I've been researching how to use it, but I'm sure I'll have questions.
