so I couldn't locate the contributors thread. Kind of nervous . Getting all 4 wisdoms pulled @ age 24 .
thought this day would never come.
the scariest part is all the drugs they've prescribed me... I've had experience with oxy and ibprobin. But on very limited occasions.. Them things are hard on me.
soooo.. Just happened . I feel quite interesting , haven't hit the oxy yet . Hoping a medicinal med hells numb the pain rather than oxi and ib...

soooo many drugs. Them pharmacies must be rockin in the dough ..

wishe luck guys!
Brother how's the recovery?

I'm fully healed finally, my three wisdom and a fourth on top same side were taking out recently and the followup pain was unreal. I had a root canal done the week before, and finally now my face is better than is has been in 15 years.

To all you youngsters don't wait till mid 30's to get teeth fixed. Do this in your youth.

lol. woahh. ahhh. good news i guess? i like the last part about "better than it has been in 15 years"

im still not fully recovered. i got them pulled out almost 4 weeks ago now. although i can eat anything i choose to eat now. a lot of food still hurts, and or if i open my mouth too wide, it hurts.. recovery seems slow.. i kind of had no idea what i was getting into. i reallyyy hope the pain goes away, and i feel better.
for now, it still dont feel like its been worth it...
(p.s. my teeth were pretty big, looked like fully grown, and only two were extruded. )

the pain aint agonizing, just very very annoying, uncomfortable.. almost feels like if i open my mouth too wide, biggg pain will come.

do you remember about how long it took for all that dental work to finally be unnoticeable?

thanks for the kind words!!!

(pics or it didnt happen... )

Holy crap your teeth were jacked son. My wife had similar situation as yours, but mine was gravy compared to that. I'm already completely normal and it's only been 2.5 weeks. I think my pain was acute because I had two taken next to each other with only one tooth between.

Duly noted about pics..

Just got my Dab OTG vape pen in the mail. Took a little longer than I would have liked but it was worth the wait. I used the High Times 2014 Vape Pen review, chose the best overall pen. Haven't used it my but I like what I've seen so far.

Wowza bro, I can only imagine! Back in the hoary days of yore, I had both of my top wisdom teeth pulled at the same time by a heavy handed dentist and it put me up on my toe tips pacing the floor overnight, but mine weren't impacted like yours were. Clearly they had to remove some bone to get your four out.

Opiates didn't stop my pain, but opiates with some Thai stick got me through. Sending good thoughts!

Fresh product to me is straight from cutting and trimming, and we extract it fresh frozen. It produces a delightful aromatic extract, but you have to process a lot of material for the same amount of oil.

It is lots faster and easier to remove about 75% of the water and extract at that point. It requires processing less material and the montoterpene content is still high.

It is easiest and fastest to dry the material to 10/15% moisture content and extract, but many of the monoterpenes leave with the water. For oral consumption, where you will decarboxylate later and lose most of the monoterpenes anyway, that is the most efficient.

When running fresh frozen, we break up before freezing in an air tight container, so as to not coat the trichomes with ice and also freeze the butane to 0F.

About <10:1 ratio of oil to EtOH.
I have some huge main colas fresh that I cut up and started to freeze 20 mins ago. I only cut buds off stem so they are still huge. I was going to food processor them once frozen. but I figured I might want to do some research. how small do you cut up your buds and what is the ratio of butane? I have about 90g wet and a extractor tube that fits about an oz. dry.

thanks fade. 3 of my teeth were cleanly removed(fully intact), and one looked like it reallyyy had TOUGH time coming out.

i was actually able to brush most of my mouth this morning :]

things looking good :]

good question, fresh buds are hard to really fully break down..

in my past, i have taken trimming scissors, and just cut away and away from the bottom of the bud up, acting as if each snip is for a joint im about to roll..

pain staking, yes..

but the more you break that bud up, the more resin you'll collect..

you could always, do your best at breaking it up, blast it once, let it dry, unpack your tube, grind the material, re pack, and blast again..

i pack roughly 2 oz into one tube, and use 1-2 cans.


these babies keep me going :]

if running straight buds first run ( no grind)

yes. un pack, grind, re pack..

i say so, because when blasting whole nugs, you miss a lot of the good stuff. butane has got to hit the trichome to catch it..

butane dont penetrate dense nugs..

dont sound stupid when you double your yield..

sound like I did after my 5th run... thinking its ok to reblast weed.... that's a waste of time and butane. just do it right the first time. which is have it finely ground, colder the better, and have 3 secs on 3 secs off when using butane. and I started to get nothing on my second blasts....well basicly nothing. would get about .2 out of the second blast from an oz. which imo is not worth the butane so I just feed the weed to my worms

well I had about 85grams fresh frozen then finely grinded. and blasted. I was thinking 20% of 85g would be the dry weight would be about 17 grams dry. and of this strain I expect about 19% return. so 19% of 17g is 3.23....and I got 3.3.... I refroze and will reblast when my next box of puretane comes on Friday and will post to see if anything was left.

I am also not a fan of the double blast. Just not quite as good in the end. B ut when I winterize which is nearly every run I do a double blast because I am gonna filter most that poo out anyhow. I agree though I have gotten as little as .24 off of the second blast of 48 grams. Not worth my effort or butane. but we all do things differently.

ahh, you see, you already blasted food processed weed. i wouldnt blast it again. unless you reallyyyy like the strain..

i agree with francy on the double blast and winterize part. double blasting picks up a grip load of other stuff..

does anyone know how much a lb of killer wax would go for on the west coast?
Probably less then it does on the west coast actually. I'm not far east coast, but I am far from the west coast. Around here the best waxes and shatters still only pull $50 a gram. There isn't usually lots of variety though. Its all about the local market though. You might be able to find a place on the east with a better oil market.

What's up I need to go buy the mesh and build a nug buster. A friend of mine had something come up now we have poundage of nugs and a 3'x3' box of nug/trim. The DIY Nug Buster looks simple enough but anyone ran into any pitfalls that I can avoid?
