Using a bud tincture for some of the math we're doing here, but I would really recommend
a hash tincture for e-cigs, as it's generally much, much more concentrated and contains fewer
plant waxes and chlorophyll.
It’s basically very simple, just so long as you follow a good tincture recipe… be on the look
out, I’m posting mine shortly. If done right, 3 - 5ml tincture taken sublingually (under the
tongue) will knock your socks off, but when vaped via an electronic cigarette, I find it
takes only about half that to get me where I need to be.
With hash tincture however, you can pack a lot more punch in your glycerin, minus the plant
waxes and clorophyll that you get when using bud tincture. Vaping 2ml bud tincture in a larger
machine is fast and easy, but in an e-cig you're going to want something more powerful and
condensed, .5ml is about 15 drops, and should be more than enough to keep you going throughout
the day. Hash tincture is easier on your atomizer as well.
Bud/herb tincture is much better if used with a larger more powerful personal vape, and it will retain
more of that 'weed flavor' people expect to taste which is, when the bud is good, a good thing.
An electronic cigarette is made up of several pieces. I’m using a 3 piece 510 model, some
of the older models had more pieces, some of the newer ones have less.
Your basic components are: your cartridge, your atomizer, and your battery.
- The cartridge, is where you insert your tincture drop by drop. One end attaches to the
atomizer, the other end goes to your lips.
- The atomizer, is the heated element that turns your liquid hash tincture, into vapor.
- The battery is the longer portion of the electronic cigarette, some are manual as seen
here, some are automatic. The difference between the two being, whether or not you need
a button to begin ignition (manual), or simply the ‘draw’ of your breath (automatic). I
prefer manual, as the autos are still a bit finicky.. they can go off in your pocket from
noise, and from wind.
Some newer models now contain ‘cartomizers’, or, carts that you use for your liquid and
the atomizer, all in one piece. These form the 2-piece models. I have nothing against
them, I just prefer the three piece at the moment.
What we’re using today, is a simple, no-name 510 model. It’s a great starter piece, but
I’d recommend that you upgrade to the thicker eGo, which is still very handy and portable,
for the battery life. Or even better for home or even vehicle use, one of the various
electric cigars, which are larger and less convenient, but generally have even greater vapor
production, as they are the e-cig equivalent to the analog cigar.
There are several companies available, they’re all basically the same, however there are
fakes and knock-offs being sold within the US, and world-wide. Nearly all e-cig
components are made in China, so don’t go thinking you need to avoid their parts,
because it can’t be helped. They make the best e-cigs and the worst. It’s certain local
vendors, that you need to be careful of. They come and go, so it’s best to check with the
manufacturer to be sure who you’re buying from.
My suggestion would be to find a reputable brand (Joye/Riva etc), and use one of their
licensed vendors. Buying from an unlicensed vendor can get you cheap e-cigs, and some
of them may certainly be healthy and functional, but there are many that look almost
exactly like the legitimate copies, made with inferior (dangerous) metals and components
which can burn and emit smoke, rather than producing vapor exclusively from your chosen
liquid.
- To apply liquid you’ll want to take either a new cartridge, or clean out an old one as I’ve
done here.
- Using tweezers, you can easily remove the core material to clean. The first few times I
just press it between some paper towel, later on when it’s messier I run it under hot tap
water, and finally, you can also give it a quick Iso wash followed by a hot water rinse (this
is also recommended when switching flavors, otherwise you’ll have a blend between the
last flavor and the new flavor).
- Boston Cream is the flavor we’re sampling for the tutorial.. it’s my own blend (more on
flavor blends will follow). It has hints of mocha/cocoa, none of that cheap chocolate taste,
and a more dominant, rich creamy vanilla taste and almost-caramel flavor notes.
- You can use a syringe, or a pipette like I’m using to get it all in there as neat and tidy
as possible, or when you’re on the go a simple spray bottle will do the trick.. I press the
nozzle of my spray bottles directly to the end of the cart (and I only very rarely make a
mess doing it that way, lol). A pipette is what we’re using here. You can get hundreds of
them for a few dollars at various online shops, so I usually toss them out after each use
to avoid flavor cross-contamination.
- Using your pipette or syringe, you’ll want to sip up a few ml of your modified ‘e-liquid’
tincture (keep reading for the correct dilutions).
- Depending on your cart, it will take between 12 and 20 drops to fill. A fresh, blank cart
on its first filling will take a while, as you need to ‘prime’ the core with some liquid before
it absorbs more quickly. Subsequent fillings will go quicker.
- You’ll know when you’re done filling it when your cartridge begins to pool, or have
standing liquid in the top, settling above the core material. A drop on the inner 'bridge' of
the atomizer itself (below, on the right), will help to get it going.
- Once you’ve put the two pieces together, cartridge to atomizer, you’ll want to give it a
few moments to wick the liquid further into the atomizer. This prevents dry burning, which
can drastically shorten the life of your atomizer... it tastes pretty foul as well.
- - While we wait... Flooding is something you’ll learn to live with, when it comes to
cheaper 510’s. With a 510 I find it’s either a tedious process, or I’m flooding a bit, and I’d
rather flood and wipe (or lick! Remember, ours is edible) the fluid away. Meaning, in my
opinion you’re better off using a bit too much tincture, than too little.
This is another reason I recommend the eGo model, also called the Tornado by one
brand. That model has a cover, that slips over the atomizer, and the atomizer collects the
pooling liquid along a ridge on its side. Much cleaner for the finger tips, and it’s safer for
your battery as well. - -
- Then, you simply twist the cart/atomizer onto your battery, and away you go! They
recommend never to depress the button longer than 5 seconds, but if you don’t have a
knock-off and your atomizers is nice and wet, I go for a good 8-10 seconds.
Hey guys, I'm toying around with the idea of making a THC based e-liquid that could be used to fill/re-fill empty e-cig cartridges. I know that it has been done, but the method that i have come up with hasn't been used yet, so i figured i'd post it up here to see what you guys think.
1. The THC source: The source of THC for this liquid will be extracted oil any will do . Purged preferred
2. THC Activation: This is a step that i have not seen in any of the other recipes and it is one that i think is completely essential (at least in theory) to get the most out of your product since most e-cigs are designed for vaporizing a nicotine solution and the temperature doesn't get quite as high as i'd like. THC drops its extra COOH molecule and becomes psychoactive and usable at approximately 220 fahrenheit (this is the reason that eating fresh bud, in my experience anyway, does absolutely nothing) My oil will be heated to a temp of 250 fahrenheit throughout so that i can be sure it is completely activated.
3. Solution: After the THC oil has been fully activated, i will add it to a mixture of propylene glycol and grain ethanol (ethanol is for better consistency of mixture since THC is readily soluble in alcohol, and as an added bonus, the alcohol will provide a better throat hit for the vapor). I am not sure what the final ratio of oil to PG will be, but i have read 1tsp. PG to a half gram of oil, so I will Probably start there.
For now this is mostly just for brainstorming and feedback purposes because i do not have enough product to make oil yet, but as soon as i can, i will post pictures and results. In the mean time, comments, suggestions, and opinions are welcome. The process will be a bit labor intensive, but hopefully i will succeed in making a liquid THC product/recipe guide that can be used in any current e-cig cartridge on the market. In addition, if this works, you will be able to add ecig flavorings to the solution and indulge wherever and whenever you want with minimal risk.
Thanks for reading and hopefully i'll be back soon with updates, wish me luck!
Edit: I forgot to mention that this e-juice (provided potency and vaporizing works out) will work in both 3 piece atomizer e-cigs as well as 2 piece cartomizer e-cigs, however i would recomend the 2 piece version because the cartridges are disposable and should not be used more than 5 times with refilling. This will, if nothing else, save you from having to buy new atomizers more frequently and by refilling the used disposable cartridges, the only extra cost will come from the production of the juice.
