Sigh, so much anger, just because I pointed out that it makes more sense to go with the harmless option over the mostly harmless option.
And again, no, there is no soda in my hand. I dont drink soda. I believe I made that clear. Quit deciding that I and everyone else has compromised their health for convenience as you have. As a patient who must medicate consistently for the rest of their life, "mostly harmless" is not an option for me, nor is it for many other patients.
"I didnt read the studies linking PG to asthma bc I know its safe and youre wrong" way to stay classy, there, netizen. If repeated peer reviewed studies wont convince you of the link, theres no hope to convince you. Way to O'Rielly the argument and avoid learning something that is important to your health, and the health of all the people you are "helping"
You ask for my proof of experience when it comes to ecigs and personal vapes, well, read the link in my sig. I've been making hash oil since before MMJ was a glimmer in the eye of Michigan stoners. Thats great that you got suckered into overpaying for a bunch of rebranded ecigs though. That really is a pretty custom tank, but Im willing to bet it uses a red hot nichrome coil to burn the liquid (and yes, nichrome coils always burn if they touch your liquid. Cannabinoids vape at no higher than 400 degrees f and combust completely at 500, nichrome emits red light at >900 degrees f, you figure out what happens when your oil touches it)
You may insist that the personal vapes are different from ecigs, despite having the same design and materials, but the fact is that atmos is just a rebranded ego tank and the gpen is a standard ecig and the wax burners/trippy sticks et al are just direct drip ecigs. You may get your eliquid from the usa but no faciilities produce PG domestic, they import and then mix it up into eliquid, or repackage into small (<55gallon) containers for resale.
Yes, oil doesnt mix into room temp VG, you have to either warm it up and let it sit for a long time, or you have to mix with limonene (a natural component of marijuana that is responsible for its citrus taste) in order to make it a thin liquid that will mix readily with glycerin at room temp.
You rant that the PG is enhancing it, but thats clearly nonsense. It is neither psychoactive nor does it help cannabinoids cross the bbb nor does it help it get vaped (except as a dilutant to allow oil a low enough visocosity to work with wicked ecig atomizers). Adding an inactive ingredient to something is not "enhancing it", its diluting it. If you disagree, take it up with merriam websters for their flawed descriptions of "dilute" and "enhance"
The eclipse vape, like the assorted globe pipes and skillet, is an excellent way to vape, esp in skilled hands or with a heat gun as a temp source. Kudos for avoiding the methods that put a red hot heating element directly on your oil (like nails etc). Shame you use RSO - it always pulls dilutants and as such contains things that combust before the cannabinoids can vape, meaning its impossible to fully vape RSO without scorching. RSO may be fine for oral but if your vaping using heat, you should think about a lipid only method of extraction. Whatever your method, perform a clean plate test on your solvents first, to be sure they evap cleanly. I know, I know, rick read about an abandoned oil extraction method from the seventies in high times and became very vocal about it, but the science has really advanced since then, and most of the medical community has stopped those kind of extractions and moved on to better methods for good reason a long long time ago, so just try a lipid only extraction and use that in your eclipse before you rant about how RSO is best and vapes clean, you will be amazed by how much smoother lipid only extractions like steam or BHO are. Again, there is more info in the link in my sig, laid out in chapters quite clearly and simply.
Good luck to you, do try to calm down. No ones saying your methods are bad, just pointing out that they are not perfect, and giving the scientific reasons why. You can ignore it and get huffy, or you can read it carefully, gain a new understanding, and spread your newfound enlightenment to your friends in michigan. *peace*
