That totally makes sense. Dual usage and stealth. I've never smoked cigs and I am in state where maryjane is finally legal for all!! Its been a year now and it really makes you relaxed and its easy to forget how bad the laws are in most places. Its really open here. Stop at a light and look over and about 30% of time they are smoking bowl joint or pens. I mean young and old. Don't waste anymore moments and come on over. Fellow concentrate lovers are welcome to enjoy the freedom. I'm interested in the spray. The different flavors.
I've lived in med states before, I'm a bit of a gypsy. I think my favorite was living in SF, because that city was built on pot and psychedelics. My upstairs neighbors at my job were lawyers, and the celebrated 'high noon' every day. We shared a ventilation system, so we got some interesting looks. Folks were smoking wherever you went, especially around the gorilla enclosure at the SF zoo for some reason. The bird of prey and ape enclosures were real popular in SD, too. I'm moving back to a med state soon, so that won't be an issue much longer. I already have some Blue Dream and Casey Jones cuts lined up for the move to get weight while staying within legal plant limits. I also hope to work with some SSSDH and pure Durban, but those will take some effort to make work. There are plenty of genetics on your side of the country that are kept real close, close enough that most commercial growers and 'Green Rush' transplants or new-school elite collectors don't even know exist. I'm hoping to find some of those that may work in my climate from old friends in the know. I guess we'll see how lucky I can get.
I feel you there! "Basement Bombing" my juices and takes forever to be ale to get the REAL flavor. Then find I don't like it and have to start again. I plan on doing my whole crop that way, if I can find a viable way to do it. Which method is the best for decarb? I've seen a few...
You mean they have BHO vaping pens?!?!?! :Holy Moly:
I'm down south in cattle country. As the name states.
Fish :Cool:
Are you looking to work with your bud, or with hash? The decarb will be different for each, and the route to get to a vapable VG liquid will differ as well. As a general rule for hash or BHO I put them in a ramekin tightly sealed with thick aluminum foil, and put them in the oven at 250 for 20 minutes, including the warm-up. I then let it cool in the oven, and usually don't unseal until after I wake up. This keeps as much of the terpenes as possible in the hash where they can work their magic. With fresh bud, I do much the same except I don't start the timer until the oven is fully warmed up. Depending on the amount of bud, you may need to extend cooking time to 45 minutes.
The temps can also vary by the oven. Tiny apartment ovens tend to burn hotter than labeled, in which case I wouldn't go over 220 degrees for either material. I'm sure elevation may play a role, as age, moisture, and quality of material all do as well. It can take a bit of plying with to get it just right, but the payoff is worth it.
I've watched some videos on how to make a VG tincture on the stove and then one using tincture in an ecig like regular juice. I'm concerned about potency. Is the 160 deg temp enough to decarb it during the process? And last, to powderize or "chop"? is powderizing in a blender necessary? Don't necessarily want plant material clogging up the works after it's all done and don't want to waste "potency".

What type of e-cig rig are you using? Variable volt, variable watt, old-school Kanger 510 carto, Bloog 808, clearomizer, 306 atty, etc? I use a bottom-coil Evod or a Kanger T3 on an ego twist, so what works best for me may not work best for you. The technique doesn't change much, but the concentration and materials used can differ. You can customize the end product completely around what you use already, so why not take advantage of it?
