Very cool thanks! I love the arizer EQ and XQ2 looks like a great successor. Are you still using the cyclone/ conesseuir bowl with whip and elbow it came with? That setup didnt really work for my needs, and found that the way to really boost the extraction is to add some vape balls over the ceramic heater, bump temp up to max, and use a direct draw device. Pitch black extraction all the way through the bowl.

I think I saw your cart making post a few days ago or last week. Hope it goes well for you. I wanted to ask why you chose to go for carts and extracts over dry herb vapes? Do you know about them? Both generally acomplish extracting the plant oils and resins cleanly into your lungs. It seems like a lot of work making carts and pressing rosin just to get potently stoned cleanly. I love dabs and concentrate but its a process to get them extracted. I’d rather just directly vaporize the plant oil out of the herb and be done with it. I hope this question doesn’t come across in a rude way I’m glad you found the method just works for you. Just curious on your thoughts about dry herb vaping.

Cooking is more art than science. Everyone’s experience with learning how to cook with cannabis slightly differs. So does their understanding of the process in general.

So yeah you’ll hear 10 different slightly different ways to do things like decarb. Is it 230f or 240f? 45 minutes or an hours? Nobody really knows the exact perfect digits, i think. I believe the world works in averages. So the details tend to not matter as much as some think. Pick the method that seems best for you with the appliances you have on hand and do the best you can. If you keep at it and do the process over and over you’ll nail the extraction better each time.

I personally trust this guide video for making cannabutter. The tek was developed by a real weed cooking scientist and the resulting butter made was sent to be lab tested for active thc.

It won the competition over other tested teks with highest thc. So thats some points for legitimacy in my mind.

I can vouch that if you follow the decarb step in that guide you will end up with nicely activated herb. Here’s the text version in case you don’t want to watch a YouTube vid.

For what its worth, I began with cooking butter over a stovetop in a saucepan with decarbed herb. Its very hands on and you need to watch the simmer.Then I did the crock pot tek with coconut oil with this method and I’m telling you its the way to go. Never messing with a sauce pan again just turn the crock pot on low and stir every hour.

Thank you for sharing. Its a very cool setup I like the hydroponics. I Appreciate the rough calculations and estimates.

Make cannaoil capsules. That way you can find the dose that works for you. I had a similar issue when making edibles in the past. Now I just eat however many caps I think it will take.

I used to get it from Giants as tempest brand https://giantfood.com/groceries/dairy/plant-based-milk-coffee-creamers/more-plant-based-milk/living-harvest-tempt-hemp-milk-original-1-quart.html

You’ll have to do some shopping around look for popular supermarkets with health food organics specific isles that have large plant milk options on a big shelf.

Gödel’s incompleteness theorem is one of the main things that I like pointing to when talking about stuff like this, thanks for bringing it up. Its a good supporting piece that helps show there are limits to logic and knowability. I think physics models will eventually have their own version that puts theories of everything in jepoardy.

Like consciousness being greater than the sum of its parts and there being spiritual aspects to the universe. Like emotions existing as non localized complex energy frequencies, and karma existing.

I used to be a hardcore scientific determinist athiest. The scientific method, mathematical logic, and unfalsifiablility were collectively my God. My version of the universe was a mechanical box our fates predetermined by an uncaring system. There was no room for magical thinking or maybe invisible unicorns. Thing either existed or they didn’t, yes or no, 1 or 0. Everything not absolute verifyable truth was worthless.

Then I had a psychedelics phase, astral projected, experienced ego death, had telepathic communications with divine / cosmicbconsciousnesses using plants as mediums, looked at myself from third person with nonexistent eyeballs, ect, ect.

I will never be able to prove to anyone my experiences are real, but what I experienced was real to me from my subjective reference frame in every way that matters.

I believe that there are metaphysical aspects of reality and unfalsifiable truths science and mathematics will never be able to prove.

If you decide to get a Dyna, you can start off with a cheap hand torch for a month or two to decide if you like it enough to spend on a more expensive induction heater. The Dynacup IH is 55-65$ USD and the inspire wand is often on sale for 90-100$usd on dynavap site. I share your concerns about fire and dont like filling butane so I went for the wand as first upgrade.

Some of us can handle both

Theres always going to be some imprecision with baked goods. Just try your best to cut it apart equally and hope it all averages out. If you want to get scientific and exact you should put the cannaoil in pill capsules.

Hey bizzle. I discovered the art of bubble hash making this year and love it. I’m not a grower so I only process an oz of cheap shake I bought online at a time. I shake it up in mason jars and strain with bubble bags. Its so economical compared to buying mid grade bud if you just want to get high or relief.

Its a bit of a laborious process. The marson jar shaking gets tiring. Would like to automate the mixing somehow. After a while I stopped using all the layers of bubble bags and just collect all of it with the finest bag. I had a hard time keeping all the different hash grades seperate. Also, Im lazy and couldn’t care less if my hash is full melt or not.

Each time I learned something and now it feels like I can wring just about every trichrome and oil crystal out of an OZ with maximum efficiency.

Dynavap was my go to with bubble hash. It has no batteries you can butane torch it (not a regular bic lighter, a jet flame torch) or use electric induction heater. It will get hot enough to properly vaporize the hash. The metal dynavaps are indestructible but I like the glass ones for thermal insulation can’t stand my fingers getting hot.

If you just want to try dynavap and can tolerate silicone I recommend the B for its great entry price point. Some people like the dynavap experience some dont so you’ll have t just try it if you are interested and see if its your thing. At least with B if you decide its not your thing not much money was lost (they have an awesome return policy too). I personally love the dynavap, it completely changed my vaporizer experience.

Ive never tried the dynacoil just put my hash balls by themselves in the chamber. A lot of reclaim does get built up inside, I’m not sure if a dynacoil would help catch some of that or if thats just the nature of smoking hash loaded with oil.

These days I found that the best way to vape hash is to put it in some vape wool or Japanese cotton, and put that in the one hitter mod for extremeq desktop vape. The first hit or two is a warm up to get the hash ball malleable, then you take the vape wool ball eith hash inside back out, rip open the ball and spread the hash all around the wool vastly increasing its surface area. After that you put the hash back in and it starts cranking out the vapor.

As for edibles, I recently made some infused coconut oil pill capsules and have been loving them. When I started out with edibles using regular butter I made lots of butter popcorn and rice crispy treats. I like the pill a caps a lot more since you can just dose them daily without any cooking involved. Its a process getting them filled up though.

Here’s the oil/butter making guide I trust. You’ll hear 10,000 different opinions on making cannabutter/oil. Differing oven decarb temp, time spent infusing, whether to use a crock pot, double boiler, or simmer on a skillet. whether or not to put lecithin in.

IMO the world works in averages. The particular process and exact timing isnt as important as its hyped up to be. As long as the good stuff is activated, gets in the oil, and isnt overcooked into cbd/cbn, you are golden. How you do that doesnt matter that much, so do what you think is best with the cooking appliances you have on hand and learn from the process.
