When your wand looks like mine take a chopstick or something and scoop it alll out then make enough cannabutter/i use coco oil lately for some brownies with it, can throw in the abv(all ready been vaped) too~ nothing goes to waste. Turns out pretty effin strong generally..and yea make sure ya cheesecloth the burned stuff out it taste like ass, but im not sure why they told ya to throw hose away maybe set it aside for a bit.. I been using ssv for 4-5years and had that happen loads of time when someone laughs at wrong moment or w/e but hose isnt ruined.
