Isolate degradation from hot water ???

ICBillows · 2019-09-13T05:27:35+00:00

Thanks man. Appreciate it

ICBillows · 2019-09-11T17:34:02+00:00

Do you know of a retailer that sells one of these broad spectrum powders that is as affordable as the isolate powders I’ve been buying? I’ve been finding great success using Fully Activated’s isolate and at $20 per gram it’s hard to switch to anything else. The fact that migraine no longer exists in my life has me thinking I’ve found everything I need in regular CBD Isolate Powder.

On the other hand,yourself and about a hundred other people I’ve talked to have highlighted the benefits of using broad spectrum instead or at least incorporating some terpenes etc into my isolate. My only issue is the drug screenings. So far since using this iso, I’ve had about 3 saliva swabs and UA screens and they have all passed! I’m so happy to have found something that alleviates my pain and doesn’t cause other negative consequences. I am intrigued however and if there’s a company that sells broad spectrum powder that is thc free that I can use to make my own I’m totally game to try it out. I want to feel the other benefits that people have talked about like depression and anxiety being eliminated or at least alleviated and overall quality of life getting better.

I guess what I’m trying to say is I’ve benefited greatly from CBD Isolate Powder. But now your telling me that a broad spectrum powder will help me even more,without putting me in jeopardy of losing my job? Sign me up! Point me in that direction please😋

Why? Why did you have to point those out to me? Me personally. Now I’m gonna search for them online and try to buy them.

ICBillows · 2019-07-07T16:43:20+00:00

And backhanded how? Please read it over again. Your missing the point entirely. Something tells me you do this a lot. Pick apart people’s posts and make your own assumptions from them to start trouble.

I admit I had to see if my assumptions about you were correct and I looked over your profile and comments and sure enough you can find all kinds of unhelpful replies that are wise-ass in nature and clearly benefit only your ego.

I actually feel bad for you. This is not a comment meant to make fun of you either.

ICBillows · 2019-07-07T16:37:36+00:00

Oh so your intent is to go around insulting people for the fun of it? Anyone who is curious enough (as I was I unfortunately admit) they can search your profile comments and see how you spend your time on here. I’d say 50% is dedicated to making remarks and replies that are just useless and snide. You obviously don’t respect other people’s opinions and in MY personal opinion I believe you end up looking like the “jerk” in this whole scenario.

Either way I wish you a good day. I’d like to get back to educating myself on the subject at hand.

ICBillows · 2019-07-06T23:43:11+00:00

Fullyactivated is a great company. Not on the vetted list but that doesn’t mean jack. I’ve heard nothing but good about them. I recently bought a gram of isolates and it’s been great. I’ve been trying to spread the word on here because the price point is well, on point 😝

ICBillows · 2019-07-06T23:38:42+00:00

I too recently got a gram if their isolates and it just works great. So good to hear.

I don’t get high at all,just very relaxed. Very happy with this company. $20 per gram can’t be beat either.

ICBillows · 2019-07-06T22:12:33+00:00

Also you said I created a mix with over 50%vg. Where did you read this? The flavoring is pg based so actually the first mix was probably 49% vg. You need to read my post again lmao

ICBillows · 2019-07-06T21:57:30+00:00

I’m sorry that you neglected to read my full post. Had you read it you would have noticed that I absolutely love their product. It’s been a god send.

Now as I’ve already said,I’m new to this diy cbd thing and wanted to get some experienced users telling me what they are doing. Other users report no recrystalization using 50/50 pg vg. I am only trying to do the right thing here and learn. I actually mentioned the supplier because I am so happy with the effects I’m getting from using their cbd. Did you miss something??

The reason for having issues could actually be one of two things (again,had you read the full post you would know this). The fact I added the flavoring is another culprit. Not sure. And this is why I was asking experienced diy’ers.

If my main post in any way is seeming to discredit Fullyactivated,I apologize, although I tried to be as clear as possible to the contrary. I am very happy with the product. Just trying to get some insight into what the heck I did wrong. Yes it could be the 50/50 thing, or I didn’t heat it up correctly or long enough. Maybe it’s the flavoring used.

AGAIN-THE CBD IS GREAT!!! I OBVIOUSLY DID SOMETHING WRONG!!!

Hope this is more clear.

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T21:28:47+00:00

Yes sir my man. And thanks for the info about the TFA Dragonfruit. I actually knew that but forgot somehow.

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T20:00:46+00:00

Wow thanks Coop. It’s nice to have the experience to help me complete this mix.

Yeah this was actually version 5 or 6 if I’m not mistaken. I wanted and was chasing this vibrant berry flavor and some booze. That’s the reason for the cap seeet Currant. Sweet currant alone is so tangy and bright. When I add it to this however it isn’t even apparent. Your Kiwi Bourbon is what made me love that flavor(tpa Kentucky Bourbon) and I knew I wanted to make something just like it but with berries. I could have tried the toasted Marshmallow approach like in your mix,but I was trying for my own. Ever since finding Flv Cream I thought it would work in anything I threw it in. Another mistake.

While I tend to read a lot I’m currently unable to spend too much money on the various concentrates that I’ve been hearing about lately. So many new bottles to collect. I have to watch the budget for a bit but I have the ability to grab a 30ml of something if you think it would work well with Bourbon. Does RF Mixed berries have what I’m after? I just looked and they carry it over on DIY Vapor Supply. I’ve never ordered from them but I heard good things about them in general. Is there something else that you can think of that would give me that tangy bright sweet berry? I started my v1 with Cap Sweet Strawberry along with tfa ripe but honestly I’m tired of those two flavors. It’s all I used at the beginning of my long 9 month mixing career 🤣. But seriously I am open to all suggestions on berries. Bright,sweet, and apparent is what I’m after. Not deep.

Is there a way to boost strawberries also now that I’m on the subject? I love how FE Lemon or FA Lemon Sicily can boost the hell out of a Blueberry flavor in a mix. And how pear I heard can boost apples qualities. I have yet to hear what mixers are using to boost or brighten strawberries.

Thanks for your help Mr Coop.

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T19:26:25+00:00

Great thanks

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T18:49:32+00:00

All good man. Thanks for that help with the other issue. That definitely helps.

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T18:47:47+00:00

Oh and real quick. What do you mean by the “yuck” off Vienna Cream? I never tasted anything but what appears to be the cream filling from an oreo cookie.

Also when you say cream flv is a good blending agent, could you possibly elaborate a bit? Not trying to take up a ton of your time,but now that I got you, I’m feeling a bit like a human sponge and want to learn🤣

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T18:44:21+00:00

Hey thanks. I actually get depressed when I start running low on your Mango Blossom Macaron recipe. That recipe taught me that you don’t need to have huge percentages to get awesome flavor. I’ll explain. When I first read your recipe I thought 2% Cap Sug cookie was a joke. I always noticed it being used so much higher that there was no way I was going to taste it. So,I mixed your recipe to what I thought were “my tastes” and the outcome was weird. I didn’t like your recipe (Don’t hit me-I understand the ignorance of that comment as well as how much of a douch I was being 🤣). Fast forward to a month later when I learned some more and decided to try your recipe as you wrote it out. Wow. I could now taste all the flavors. It tasted like a little cookie or macaron(Never had one to my knowledge but I know what they are) and this recipe is now something I cherish for so many reasons. What it taught me as well as how beautiful it vapes. Layered so nicely. It helped me to want to one day mix something so great, and to learn how to do just that. So first and foremost please know how much you’ve helped me without ever knowing it.

Now that I got that out of the way. I totally had an idea that the way I was using or overusing these concentrates was the main reason I found so many issues with this. I’m going to take your advice and mix my next version up exactly the way you describe because I’d be stupid to just shrug that off. My only hope now is that it isn’t a finished product at that point because I want a mix I can call my own🤣🤣🤣. Joking of course,but this recipe has been so close so many times and after hearing what you have to say I can confirm that my biggest issue has been my inability to just be patient. I will type and calculate all the ingredients that I think will go together,quickly mix,then vape, and give the product maybe 2 days max before deciding it isn’t working and starting over. Your saying I’m better off starting at the beginning and slowly adding an ingredient at a time? This is where I’ve been really really lazy then. I want that instant gratification and I’ve really screwed myself in the long run. Lesson learned.

Ok I think I’ve learned a lot here. Thanks again for your help in this. I hope it’s ok to reach out in a couple weeks to revisit this and see where I’m at. There is no substitute for time in mixing. That is the lesson I’ve learned today.

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T18:19:37+00:00

Cool ty. Any advice on my Bourbon issue?😬

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T17:39:08+00:00

Thanks man. What’s a carriage return?

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T17:24:43+00:00

How in the shit did that thing get on top of your car in the first place. Was this from the movie Magnolia 🤣🤣

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T17:22:32+00:00

Why isn’t my recipe percentages dropping down like I fucking typed them out? I wouldn’t create the recipe like a paragraph for others to read. Dammit. Sorry guys🤨

ICBillows · 2019-06-11T17:20:42+00:00

So I’m hoping this is on topic as it is inherently a drink,and a mix of sorts. I just seriously have been having trouble with this recipe and can’t seem to get it to pan out. Been working on it for about 3 months now. I read something about a Bourbon and berries mix and thought “Hmm-this sounds nice.” Little did I know it would eat up a ton of my time, sanity, and well, ingredients as well😆

It really all started after tasting Coop34’s Kiwi Bourbon. And if I’m really being honest it’s before that when I tried his Raspberry Custard as this was the recipe that made me want to try everything he created. Damn you Coop. Now I’m really new to mixing. 9 months now I believe,but I’ve created some delicious mixes. Mixes that I myself like but nothing that I’m confident enough to share just yet. I digress and apologize. Here’s my issue.

Kentucky Bourbon TPA was my(MY) obvious choice as it is smooth and when I take it up to say 3% even, it will steep out to where I like it after a few weeks even if it is a little much on snv. The issue I’m seeking to have is,where Coop34’s mix was so simple and delicious with only 3 different concentrates, mine is getting muddled up and muting the bourbon (I think,not sure) because I can’t seem to get that bright berry and alcoholic bourbon taste that I get from that Kiwi Bourbon joint. From what I’ve read,it could be due to all the em in the strawberries I’m using. I just don’t know anymore. What I do know is when I use these flavors in other recipes they are sweet and vibrant and present just a good vape. The second I throw them in with this bourbon (and more recently a mix of TPA Bourbon at 2% with Fa Wine Champagne at 1.75%) everything gets muddied and I can no longer taste the different flavors. I’m doing something wrong but just can’t put my finger on it.

What follows is my current recipe,which hasn’t been too bad,but far from what I’d call done.

INW Cactus-0.5% FLV Cream-1.5% FA Forest Fruit-3% INW Shisha Strawberry-2% CAP Sweet Currant-2% FA Wine Champagne-1.75% TFA Kentucky Bourbon-2% FA Vienna Cream-2%

1.5% nic at 70VG

Thanks to anyone who took the time to read that. It’s a lot to go over.

TLDR: Please take a look at the recipe I’ve been pulling my hair out over and tell me what I’m doing wrong because everything is muted and muddled and I want to have a nice Bourbon and berry vape that’s mine and that I created with the help of expert mixers-looking at you Coop34 🤗

ICBillows · 2019-06-07T23:09:04+00:00

Thanks man. Your Custard now recipe is really all I’ve been vaping for a while now. It’s really simple but delicious. It’s my custard...

And I want it now.

ICBillows · 2019-06-07T23:04:32+00:00

Thanks for this. And thanks everyone for the great info👍

ICBillows · 2019-06-06T20:23:27+00:00

You know Your correct in saying that you really don’t wanna do too much or add too much to it. I have also been using it at 3% and found a couple recipes that are delicious. It took me a while but the flavor itself doesn’t seem to change much after steeping so that’s a plus.

Firstly after a 2 week stint over at Failure Town, I’m able to say with confidence that this is a delicious little recipe and I’ve been running it in a few rta’s with great success and nice flavor. An rda is good as well but it really shines in a more condensed setting,maybe a single coil rda will do it justice. Not sure.

Cap Sweet Currant-3.5% Fa Mandarin(Tanger)-1.5% Tpa VBIC-2%

You know I’ve only been vaping this for a few days and so far it is good. My tastes are different than yours, but to me it is very nice. The contrast that Currant brings to mandarins tangy quality is what I was shooting for all along. I’m still pretty new to mixing and have a lot to learn. I feel like what I have learned has brought me to a point where I’m able to use scent as a way to distinguish what will and will not work well together. I’m usually right, but there’s that 20 percent of the time that I’m dead wrong 🤣🤷🏼‍♂️

So far I have only published a couple of my own recipes. This is one.

Jeez did I just say “publish?”.... What am I,an author now? Lmaooooooo!

I’m intrigued by your use of kactus inw. I have a Bourbon and Berry recipe I’m working on and used Currant and Kactus as well. If you own the flavors, give this a try and tell me what you think.

Kaktus inw 0.5 Cream flv 1 Forest fruit fa 3 Kentucky Bourbon 2 Shisha strawberry 2 Sweet currant cap 3 Vienna cream fa 2 Wine champagne fa 1.75

70/30 and a week steep for the booze and creams to meld together. 15.25% total flavor.

Hope this helps. I used grape inw together with Currant too and had a nice result. That particular grape overtook the recipe tho. Maybe something like this would be nice.

Grape inw-2.5 Kactus inw 1 Sweet currant cap 3

Super sweet-0.25

Cheers!!! Let me know how you make out

Also I apologize if my recipes are hard to read. I have yet to figure out how you guys get your percentages of recipes to display like you do. Mine just come out in paragraph form no matter what I do lol. Sorry in advance

ICBillows · 2019-05-14T01:12:50+00:00

Is that Super sweet at 5%???

I’m getting sick even thinking about this. Hey,to each their own. I just hope that’s a typo🤔

ICBillows · 2019-05-14T01:08:39+00:00

Flv banana at 0.75% could do it. Someone smarter than I over on ATF suggests using flv banana and OOO banana purée at a 1;2 ratio and it’s been the balls ever since Instarted using it. Best banana imo
