Hahaha, "advertizing" (sic) usually contains, at the very least, some sort of mention of a brand or company. Just mentioning what I've been doing for work/study falls short of that. I asked about a giveaway, mods said no, end of story. No biggie :) I won't be posting the companies name or...

Alien: no, I was saying I'm naive. I could have been clearer. Indacouch: I respect RIU and am not upset! I love the folks here, and trust the mods judgements. I mean that truly. We've got great staff here and the rules are necessary for keeping this information resource alive! Sunni: thanks...

Stupid? Thats harsh. Just naive: I worked hard to make something unique and nice and I want to share it. :) sunni: thanks for the fast response! I forget that there are non USA members. CBD is highly illegal in Canada, and though I'd never send any there, making it seem to be available to them...

Forget tubes: soak your herb in the butane via the jar method. You freezer your butane: it will stay liquid for 20+ mins, and youll double your yield at least. Also, avoid the 5x or any x "refined" butane. Its a lie; theres no regulation so its usually just cheap oil filled butane. Do a clean...

I wanted to know if it was OK to do a giveaway for some CBD supplements (wax, liquid, herbs) to members? I could use some feedback on flavor etc, this is the best community for it, and personally I like the majority of the folks here and want to give them something. These are legal supplements...

To get an OR OMMP script you dont need to be a permanent resident, however you will have to physically visit the state to get the script and purchase meds, but rec is legal there now so a script isnt necessary. However, so is CO, and its closer. Avoid the hassle (some docs will prescribe for...

Hello, hello, dear, RIU, and esp all the old OGs lurking round here still. Ill be updating my Vapor Volumes soon, lots of new discoveries and info to share. I've been hard at work in the lab during my absence. I wanted to spend some intensive time figuring out a safer eliquid base than VG...

I do believe you're correct! Forgive my faded memory, I havent been here in at least a year and I lose track. Anyway, in the past I have recommended it here, and its worth repeating that it was bad advice, esp since many others still recommend it.

Anyone using my old recipes for eliquid conversion, PLEASE STOP! I recommended the use of glycerin, something I now know will combust in ecigs into acrolein, the major carcinogen in ecigs. I have since done some IR thermometer tests of common ecig atomizers in use, and found they get to an...

Lol. CBD isnt psychoactive, (un)fortunately. I've no small experience with the compound - I extract it from OR grown hempseed oil, part of the first federal pilot program for growing it in the states. Where it shines is in conjunction with other cannabinoids. Recognizing this, my commercial CBD...

Its a toxic solvent. Do the extraction outdoors with a p99 respirator and, as always, CLEAN PLATE TEST YOUR SOLVENT, and you'll be fine. But if I were you I'd order some clean butane like Colibri online. Its pretty cheap, even with shipping. Try amazon.

Glycerin breaks down to acrolein at 350f (ecig coils are ~500f). Acrolein is the major carcinogen in cigs. PG inhalation has been strongly linked to asthma. So its best to avoid traditional eliquids. Why take something harmless (weed) and make it harmful? Besides, it isnt necessary. You can use...

The glass rod hash bowl idea is a good one! Those work better than nails for oil and wax too btw. Dont heat it with a torch though, it strips the silica and may lead to silicosis with long term inhalation. If you've never done the old school method of making hash oil before (in the 70s my...

RSO *is* snake oil. Simpson took an outdated hash making tech that was posted in high times in the 70s, then published a ton of "testimonials" online about how it cures cancer. He created buzz and used it to sell his low grade hash oil from Canada to US dispensaries for far more than its worth...

Arizer. Why? It's a GOG chamber (standard glass means you can use off the shelf adapters for water pipes), does whip or bag, comes with remote, is light yet durable, and costs half of what a Volcano costs. I personally think it tastes better too. Both have a ceramic heating core, but Volcano...
