I’ve done the same with mixed results, using VG, PG, and sometimes a mix of the two.
Past successes I would attribute mostly to luck or input material, but the VG makes for cloudier results. Any time I thought I had the recipe “dialed in” I would end up making a lacklustre batch.
Dose was always mild to me, but a few hits gives a nice glow. Also feels mild on the lungs compared to vape cartridges.
I was using an aspire pockeX, no clue about technical details. It’s a basic one button unit at a painlessly replaceable price point.
PG is really thin and can run right through the tank. Most ejuice is 75/25 vg/pg or 50/50. You can occasionally find a 75% pg vape. I’m unsure what the legit ccell carts use.
As for making it. I’d think you’d have much better luck and results dissolving your hash or sift into the vg/pg and then strain it through a cheesecloth or something, rather than using straight flower. There are other fats in the flowers than can be extracted with the vg/pg and it’ll mess with the taste too. The hash or sift or even rosin should be much cleaner tasting and on the coils.
You’ll need a lot more than cheesecloth to strain the particulate from siftings even if you use several layers of cheesecloth. Speaking from experience on this one.
The coil clogged for good after two or three hits.
Asumming everything goes well with the coil and the ratios of PG and VG, how would you get a high concentration of THC into such a small volume of solution? Do they bind well to THC?
I mean’t long term health effects. My father WAS a chemist and had to retire early from that career when he needed to take over the family business… well, all his collegues died due to the exposure to many things that were deemed “safe” for a long time but then as we learned more and testing mentods were discovered many of those “safe enough” things were deadly over enough exposure.
Like microwavable popcorn being safe until popcorn lung was discovered.
It’s all too much of a chance for capitalism and profit… so when that’s the case then I have NO TRUST in the tech until enough years go by where it’s a proven human trial study.
This is why I still combust flower, or if vaping it’s vaping flower. Is it as convenient? NO!!.. but the millenia of smoke inhalation by humans is a proven thing versus atomized “juices”.
I’m not telling anyone what to do. I’m just open about my distrust with these things.
I know to many people that did “safe things” that have proven long term problems… even too much cardio! lol
Does Mrs. Foreigner have a hair straightener? I’ve used one with temp control before, using a round orange pekoe tetley teabag and some parchment paper, came out great.
