I’m in the UK and don’t have a good contact for proper extracts. I was able to get my hands on this. What is it? I recently acquired a Puffco Peak. Will this stuff work in it?

Basically the title. I know for bubble you are looking for hard glands that feel like sand and don't grease up when touched, but is the same applied for dry sift as well? Do greasy phenos still yield well with sifting?

Further more what is the best way to test which pheno sifts the best? Would the ice water test be a good example of the sift yield?

Hey guys,

I was curious if anyone knows if longterm and constant dabbing will raise blood pressure?

I have been a daily dabber for a decade, and recently noticed I have really high blood pressure mainly when waking.

Like most mornings around 150-160 / 86-95

After smoking it seems to lower it quickly (although it’s still pretty high )

I’ve worked on diet and cut things out but havnt noticed much of a drop. The only remaining thing to cut out is the dabs…. But I wanted to see if anyone else noticed this as well

Any advice is much appreciated!

Why does my shatter taste like cheese? Is it old? Or good?

It read: "Lost my weed in a series of small fires. Anything helps "

I had a tenant who left this upon moving out and I've been dabbing with it. But I don't understand the point of these drip catcher chambers, as there is no way out of them. The inner tubes I thought had small holes to allow reclaiming to happen at one one of its ends, but it doesn't, they just ooze into the chamber and stay there. Once it leaves the inner tubes, there is no way out. Meaning it inevitably will just fill with crap until it reaches the top of the inner tube.

Cleaning is impossible as any liquid has the same issue.

Am I missing something here?

So, I just was gifted a couple Level Hashtabs and was wondering if they could be smoked or just eaten? Just an idea I had! 😂 TIA

Hello all, this is my first time posting.

I work as an Analytical Chemist testing potency. Our lab is looking for some THCVA isolate. I have scoured the web and can't find anyone selling this besides chemical companies selling it as CRM. Does anyone know if it's possible to find this on the market?

Hi all! Please excuse my lack of knowledge. I am a newbie. I like to make healing salves but generally use calendula. I decided to step up my game with a gift of CBD buds. When I make oils, I put the flowers in mason jars and fill with oil and let them sit on my windowsill for 6-8 weeks. However, everything I’m reading about CBD oil suggests I have to “de carb” in oven and then make on the stove. Does anyone know if I can just do my traditional method of steeping in oil on a windowsill and avoid cooking? If I can do this, can I avoid the decarb step as well? Thank you in advance for any guidance.

So I just got some Raw Garden diamonds and have been using them with my Utillian 5. I’m still figuring out the best way to get the most out of these without burning through them too fast. I was also looking up to a review if there is a mention about diamonds, but did not find any. so I thought I’d see if anyone here has some tips!

I’m wondering which coil is best for diamonds. I've got both the Triple Titanium and Twisted Kanthal coils, and I’m trying to hit that sweet spot between flavor and vapor without wasting any of it. Also, for airflow, should I keep it wide open, halfway, or low? I’m not sure what’s ideal for thicker concentrates like diamonds.

For temperature, does anyone have a go-to voltage that works well? I want to get solid hits but don’t want to crank it up so high that it kills the flavor.

 Thanks for any help!  trying to make every bit of these diamonds count.

I tried making canna butter last night set my bud (2 grams) in the oven on about 290°F (lowest my oven goes since it’s a dial and not digital) for 21 mins and it came out with a golden brown color I then put the bud with 2 and a half sticks of butter in a crockpot on low for 3 hour sturing constantly. The butter came out with a nice green color but it’s not as potent as I want it to be. Gave an edible I made with it to my friend this morning he said it was alright for about 30 minutes and nothing after that. Anything I can do to Improve my canna butter given my circumstances?

I’ve been trying to perfect a simple syrup with concentrate either with hash oil that already comes decarbed or decarbing live resin my self. I was using sunflower Letchin as an emulsifier. I don’t know if that was the best method. I feel like I was burning down a lot of the thc. Then I made a tincture out of the concentrate which worked slightly better and the simple syrup I added to my drink hit harder. However, when making the simple syrup, the oil will still separate sometimes. I got introduced to polysorbate 80 but don’t know where to start , wondering if anyone has tips? Thank you :)

Making my first GD tincture -> feco and its still super watery at the late stage of evaporation. Going to run through my process please please let me know if its completely over or okay so the panic can be over.

day 1: 28g 20% bud (wasnt super dry initially but left it for a bit before use), coffee grinded, decarbed for ~45mins at 110c, mason jar with a decent bit more than enough ethanol to cover, simmered in pot for ~30mins between 64c and 72c, stored for 24h open but covered by mesh filter.

day 2: This is where I'm at now. Trying to reduce into feco that i can turn into an mct tinc. Shook before straining (realising this is dumb now. also seem to have not strained properly as theres what looks like kief in the bottom of my mason jar...), same water bath situation, been evaporating for about 4.5h and im kind of freaked that it hasnt gotten 'syrupy' or noticeably thicker at the later stage of evaporation.

My suspicions: -Bud was still kinda green after decarb, but went with it because I'd given it plenty of time and then some?

-Coffee grinder removed too many trichomes leading to there being nothing to thicken up?

-Too much ethanol?

-Sediment has ruined it?

Whats still in jar (~50ml out of 350 - 350ml post simmer, originally about 420ml) still smells like ethanol. Really just want to know if the potency has still been increasing even without much change to texture. I consume weed medically, unprescribed (uk), and dont have £150 to burn like this, please give me good news!!!

ps still evaporating in hope that something happens..

I pretty much only smoke flower but want to use vape pens instead for the convenience, but when I do smoke pens, I have brain fog the next day.

In speaking to someone at a dispensary, I think they had suggested live rosin vapes instead. But can you help me figure out a better way to consume, I use it to help control my stomach issues.

*I don't like edibles, and am not super keen on using something that can crisp a crème brûlée.

Thanks for any help.

I need to warm my disty enough to get it into s syringe, but all I have are one of those little mug warmers and I heard that they can make your jar crack. Would using a space heater be a safer option if I just pointed it at the jar til it was hot enough?

So I got some sugar diamonds a couple grams and some badder. I just want to double check I have to break down the sugar diamonds before I decarb them right? Do I have to do anything special with the badder? Thanks in advance everyone!

I've been using a dry herb vape and collecting the remains in a mason jar. I figure I should get a scale to weigh it out? I want to make a tincture. Edibles are hit or miss as my digestive system is kind of slow. I've read some articles to let it soak with food grade alcohol of some sort and then come back after 2 weeks and strain it with a cheesecloth. I'm just wondering what is better, oil based or alcohol based?
