See how different lighting can effect the looks? Using a basic smart phone camera and simple flashlight. LED flash sucks!
Light pointed at the product, kind of reflecting off instead of looking through.

Light Shining from behind the oil but not at it.

I just put some QWISO in my purge pan (small metal measuring cup), place onto a coffee mug warmer with the pan slightly tipped. When the concentrate begins to melt or flow just added about 25% PG USP and mixed well with a mini spatula. Removing from heat a few times to not overheat the product.
Pretty much all I have been using. innokin SVD and KangerTech Aerotank. Nice vaporizing! I don't care to fill it with more than 1.5 grams. I have been testing my oil side by side, straight vs. mixed. I prefer it mixed. It is only about 75-80% as potent vs. straight. Probably 100% gram for gram considering it vaporizes so well.
I take 3 to 5 baby hits, and I am pretty baked. You guys could probably easily take in that much in one hit!
The only complaint I have received on this method with my oil is it is easy to consume too much. It tastes so good and it is so easy to keep taking little puffs off the vape. In other words, it is easy to over do it.
No leaks so far with the AeroTank.
My other AeroTank that has been put away for about a month. The oil I left in it did not separate.
Good point! My best oil shots are in natural sunlight, held up and canted until you hit a perfect optic axis for the light.
I've yet to perfect any indoor lighting that works as well, but then I'm not a pro and no doubt there is someone who can.
The issue is further complicated by the Beers/Lambert effect, dramatically changing light transmission with increasing film thickness.
The sad truth is that I haven't found any vapor pen as heavy hitting and as tasty as a Ti nail, dabbing straight oil, but the small oil skillets come closer than any of the mixtures that we've tried, including those we made ourselves.
I prefer a small skillet, because deeper reservoirs of oil become noticeably more phenolic tasting toward the end, as the lighter elements leave first, leaving behind the highest boiling point ones. While a mixture doesn't suffer as much from that issue, it does impart its own taste.
A disadvantage of the small vapor pen skillet is how often you have to fill it and how messy they get, so when I carry them, I carry several preloaded.
E-pens with mixture tanks don't suffer from the same issues, but do add the issue of PEG and/or VG residue in our lungs, in addition to the cannabis oil residue. Especially if we have to take more hits to achieve the same effect.
The advantage to the vapor pen, is of course its social acceptance in general society, because of the tobacco industry. They also attract much less attention in public, than a Ti nail with blow torch, or even electronic nail in their current designs.
Measuring potency is a problem, without all the samples being run side by side, under the same conditions. and tested by the same panel.
Those testing the homogenized VG were uniformly impressed, and I long ago came to believe that under internet forum circumstances all "potent" mixtures are equal if they impress different panels of random impartial testers.
I also have no doubt that as you have attracted and are maintaining clientele, that the market has voted in your favor, so good job! You go girl!
