I 100% agree with this. I buy from Gage locally, they have a vested interest in following the law, given that they have investors and poo poo. But some of the stuff I see people buying "from their friends who have a med card" just makes me want to cry. The poo poo is legal, why not get it from someone who's gotta follow some rules?

How many of you guys use oil cartridges? What are your opinions on high end vs low end? Live Resin vs just distillate with terps re-added? Personally I'm fine with the 4/$100 carts that Redditors say the word "boof" about while telling you to buy the $65/.5g carts "because man like that's just the best poo poo"

I'll pretty much use whatever cart, usually going for sales, except for the sketchy black/grey market poo poo that can be tainted. Anything from a reputable brand/shop, basically.

I got some delivery when I was staying in CA and the carts were so poorly made that two of them unglued themselves from the bottom section making them totally useless and one of those even ended up with the glass coming off and oil getting everywhere (luckily just into a plastic bag). Stuff also tasted weird. The flower from that place was really good but I can't just trust anything unless I know something about it.

Also before legalization I also got some black market poo poo with flavors like "Dirty Sprite" that were absurdly flavorful. They tasted well but god only knows what they put in those to make that happen. Of course they just claim "terps" which is almost certainly bullshit.

But overall I like carts, especially if you can get a good price. It's basically the ultimate cutty smoke so it's good for on-the-go purposes. Live resin is nice but not definitely not a necessity and usually I just get live resin in normal grams instead of a cart.

not entirely sure what you are talking about at the end there but i enjoy oil carts from select and raw garden which are usually $50 per 1 gram cart where i live (ive seen the same select carts for $35 up in oregon)

there are some cheaper carts here from amigo that are $20 but its only .3 grams and not very good stuff. i have never seen $65/.5g carts anywhere what the gently caress even is that

I'm not anti-carts and I realize that lots of portable oil vapes or atomizers can be really fiddly/messy/PITA, but I just can't make the compromise for the price. I do appreciate the ease of throwing a pen in your pocket and being able to pull on it for days without maintenance but you can get some insane extract products at something like a $50 price point. Of course you have to have some sort of ability/privacy to carry around and reload dabs along with your device. And most of them need occasional cleaning.

But I also smoke too much weed so it's a lot easier to burn through cheap grams that I buy 5 at a time when I'm just chucking chunks of shatter into the vape. Either way it's pretty amazing to live in a place where I can do my thing and anyone who just wants to buy cartridges can do that and either one is still crazy high quality.

Hopefully 2021 is a good year for legalization across other parts of the country. :350:

Where I'm at carts might add on an extra 5 bucks a gram, ten at the most. That makes them worth it (to me at least) since they're so handy, especially when I'm snowboarding, driving, taking a walk, taking a bike ride, etc. But every time I get a cart or two I also get a gram or more of other extract.

I do have a vape pen that's refillable and has a crucible to put extract into, but I just don't enjoy using it as much. Basically, it's mainly worth it for me purely due to ease of use. Good to have plenty of other sources as well though and save the carts until you need them.

yea that is an absurd price especially considering most of the $50/1g carts i see are more like 89-92% thc. ive never seen that brand before but i think most are one state only. select is the only brand of carts ive seen in multiple states

I basically only do vape pens now, especially since I have a med card and can regularly get 1g carts for like $40 now. It was a bit less of a value proposition when a 500mg cart was $50 for rec most of the time.

Though between the cheaper store brand and the more expensive live resin carts, I definitely think the live resin carts last a bit longer. Or maybe that's what I tell myself to justify buying them over the store brand ones.

yeah that's insane. I'm paying between 40 and 55 for a whole gram cart and this is 70 for .5???

"Live rosin" honestly it's hard to keep all the terms and buzzwords straight but if you want special stuff like that just get the pure extract and let them put normal oil (which works fine) in the carts. It's all mostly THC anyways, paying so much extra money for something that is not functionally better is kinda silly

We have Platinum Vapes in MI, same as CA. We also have Select, I've liked their carts a lot but selection at some dispensaries has been rough lately.

There's no point using RSO for dabs, put that poo poo in food. It's decarbed and ready to eat. Or put it in topicals if that's your thing. Smoking it is kind of a waste though. That's what cheap wax is for.

You can get a similar effect if you just wash out your dab rig with iso and let it evaporate off, then throw it in food.
so this second part, a while back cleaned out my dab rig by filling it with everclear and putting the whole thing in a double boiler. cleaned it really well and it left me with murky alcohol that i saved in a jar. i boiled off as much of the alcohol as i could yesterday and now i have a sticky brown substance. is there anything safe to do with this or have i ruined it and need to chuck it

apparently resin is created with solvents like butane but rosin isn't. live resin is different from standard BHO because they do it at low temperatures to preserve the terps, and rosin is different because they use no solvent and instead make it like bubble hash.

as far as what that all means for normal people, basically nothing. live resin theoretically tastes better than standard BHO while rosin is seen as a more "natural" way to create hash given it does not require dangerous chemicals to make

that should still be hash as long as it's totally dry, even if it does have a weird color. I guess it depends on how desperate you are but I'd at least give it a try to see if it tastes okay

I don't know anything about whether it would work in food or whatever, but I feel like it should still smoke unless I'm confused

i don't smoke every day and i have plenty of stock, it's more that i'm curious as to what i do with it. do i eat it? add it to a joint/bowl? put it in my dab rig? put it in whatever my little battery-powered thing with the coils inside that heat up?

You could have left some alcohol to it and took shots of it, it's basically a tincture in everclear. At this point you could melt it into butter for a while on low heat and toss it into food. Definitely something that will mask the flavor. Quick and dirty, a little dollop in some peanut butter.

It's not going to be a flavor you will enjoy, and the potency of reclaim is variable. I've always treated reclaim as 30-50% the potency of the hash you feed your rig, so you'll likely have to use 20-30mg to get a similar high to 10mg store bought. I think CBN winds up being one of the most prominent molecules in reclaim, which iirc makes people sleepy, so this is more an evening thing than a wake and munch.

Play, you can smoke reclaim but it tastes awful. I'm sure everclear has a different taste over iso, but both will burn again. It's already decarbed though, having been through the hot banger or whatever, so food is just a simple route for it.

Also the shop I hit calls their solventless 'rosin' and it varies in consistency. They also have some poo poo called 'full melt' but I'm not spending the money they're asking for it.

thanks, i'll give it a try some time this week. good to know that my cleaning method returns something useful. i put my piece on a trivet in my pressure cooker, filled the cooker with water and the piece with everclear and set it to boil for a few hours. much cleaner than what i got with iso and salt and far less work

That wouldn't work for Weed Purposes since it uses proprietary juice pods

Honestly, this has been my experience with pretty much every portable flower vape I've owned, from the Pax2 to the Arizer Air to the G Pen thing I got. I definitely get high, but it's not consistent, the flavor is mediocre and the experience overall just is nowhere near as satisfying as blazing a bowl. Yes, I'm starting at the lowest temp, I'm using a fine grind, I'm packing it tight BUT NOT TOO TIGHT, I'm letting it warm up properly, etc.

The first time I bought a vape, it was about being discreet, not about flavor or high. Every vape I bought after seemed to reinforce that until concentrates became mainstream, which is where vaping really shines.

Smoke your flower, vape the wax they blast out of leaves and trim bin leftovers.
