DIY E-Vape THC fluid

Hi Everyone. Why do you want to vape a liquid rather than just vaping strait bud?
 
Hey Moley :)

I like the idea and it's awesome you're getting this worked out.
I had a few thoughts on getting high from my basic vape pen.

Just thoughts - but i can share them with you as you're on a mission! :)

Have you considered trying to mix the VP or PG with Green Dragon Tincture?

Or even making the tincture with the VG or PG, i'm not sure of the implications, but from the warning that comes with green dragon - it appears to be able to get you very high .... which is just what we want form our vape pens :) lol

Just an idea :d5:

It should work, you'd need to cook of the alcohol is all. I’m working on raising the PG to VG ratio, as the PG is a somewhat better solvent. I'm thinking an 80/20 or 90/10 PG/VG mix might be better for home made canna vape juice. Waiting for the chemdawging to be done, then I'll make a new batch! Mine now will get you a mild buzz, and will help extend the one you've got from smoking, etc.I'm sure we can make it a bit stronger. I don't expect it to be like smoking or vaping dry herb, but if i can puff on this for a few minutes, and get a nice buzz, well I'm fine with that. I would however, LOVE to get my hands on some commercially made canna juice, just to see how well it works. Hmmm.... who do I know in Colorado...LOL! :Sharing One:
 
I made the Green Dragon.. And ended up evaporating down to RSO oil.. which I have quite a bit of.
Ok.. I have about 10 or so ml of the ejuice.. so add another 4 grams to that and cook again for another 2 hours?
I did decarb.. And I found out my vape pens voltage. . 3.2, 3.6, and 4.1. Its a variable one. .

Edit. . Can I add the RSO oil into the mix?

My understanding is, you can'r cook RSO in PG/VG directly, you need to thin it with alcohol or it will just drop out of suspension, then cook it again long enough to get rid of the alcohol, same as Green Dragon.

Gotcha. . I dint have access to everclear.. i made it with 153% grain alcohol. . Some say I should just mix it with coconut oil and make some edibles. . Or caps
 
According to :

http://skunkpharmresearch.com/glycerin-extraction/

the flashpoint of VG is 177C, which is a few degrees below the bottom-end of the range of temps that vape THC and cannabinoids (180-190).



steely

I think the flashpoint is not important. VG boils at 290C (554F),PG boils at 188.2C (370.8F) http://www.e-liq.com/information/e-liquid-bases

Vape pens boil the e-juice, thus likely to be hot enough even for non-decarbed oil. So the problems are in getting the right concentration. Also for your skunkfarmresearch link:

At saturation, Glycerin only hold as 33% as much cannabis oil as the same volume of ethyl (grain) alcohol, so about three times more is required per dose.
To reach maximum saturation however, requires processing more than one batch of fresh material through the glycerin, because as the saturation level increases, the glycerin becomes less aggressive as a solvent and the partially dissolved cannabis boundary layer interface with the solvent is also no longer at full strength and as reactive.

This is also very important I believe:
Keeping the boundary layer removed:
The boundary layer is the layer of partially reacted resin and dilute solvent that forms on the surface of the resin after the initial aggressive dissolution by the solvent. The solvent at that point is dilute, as is the resin concentration, so that the reaction slows or grinds to a halt.
To keep the reaction operating at a reasonable rate, we need to periodically or continuously remove that boundary layer, and there are four methods that I will present here.
The first is to stir. Simply stir gently and thoroughly with a wooden spoon
The second is to shake. Simply shake a jar of glycerin and plant material by hand regularly. A paint shaker would also work for this application.
The third is to tumble. Placing the jar of glycerin and plant material in a rock or photo film tumbler will keep the boundaries fresh. It is an effective and gentle way to speed up the process.
The forth is vibration. Placing jar of glycerin and plant material in a vibratory cartridge case cleaner, or other form of vibration, creates more shear energy that tumbling and will dissolve the material the fastest of any method we have tried thus far.

When I have material to use, I'm going to test cooking it in high temperature oil bath @ 250F for 30 minutes. It keeps it below the boiling point, yet at a better absorption temperature, which is also perfect for decarbing, both time and temperature wise.

I suspect though, it may best best to cook in 100% PG, then cut with VG that has cooked MJ in it.

I may invest in an ultrasonic jewlery cleaner also. Saw them for $30 in ebay.

Nice info. . I didn't get to the shake stir vibration part of it.. I have an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner thingy. . Hmmmmm.. I'll wait to experiment until I can hey my hands on straight pg
