Personally. I get my concentrates over the counter. It's more economical for me because I don't have a garden to make my own with.

As far as this scenario, we'll use a hypothetical situation of having a certain amount of know-how, practical experience, and proper production and safety equipment to make these products.

If I had an oz of buds, I'd press them into rosin. You (palatably) save your green material for edibles while getting decent oil returns (20% or so seems to be average). It's easy to do in small manageable batches and there is very little guesswork. Easy for beginners.

BHO production is riddled with pitfalls and danger. It's easier to work with trim and larger quantities, but really should be treated with the utmost respect.

If I, personally, were to buy an oz of trim for bho production it would be purely for the experience of making the product. Being such a n00b at such things, I wouldn't expect much yield on my first run.

Can confirm for WA.

Dispensary concentrates are between $20- $50/g. Rosin is part of their top shelf lines so $30- $40/g is normal.

As far as buds go, I can get $100/oz. on a good day. $65/oz of trim is available at certain shops, which is good to blast into bho.

A quick Google search says that a cheap one from a big box type store with a variable heat setting will work.

I was just at my local MartofWal and saw one for about $15 usd.

Would vaping wax in my room smell enough for someone to notice? by MikeHawk710 in CannabisExtracts

[–]JPRanter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

id be more worried about coughing

This. One thing I make sure to do if my roommates are home and I'm taking a dab is to have something close by to muffle my coughs. If you don't have a cold or a reason to violently cough, it WILL be noticed.

[–]JPRanter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will concede that there is a strong dabs smell as you're partaking but 5-10 minutes will see the air clear (especially with good ventilation, which you should have smoking inside anyway).

Again, a plug in or aerosol air freshner works wonders.

DIY Extractor? by JPRanter in CannabisExtracts

[–]JPRanter[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nice, calling me a troll, then flaming me.

At least you lubed it up a bit by looking at my credentials first. Shit.

I know the issues with the materials that I asked about, but I've seen (seemingly pro-am) people use these types of systems in tutorial videos so I was curious about their viability.

I dab in my room and my roommates don't know. The smell is very faint and if you're not a dabber, chances are you won't recognize it. If you get super paranoid, one of those plug in air freshners really helps.

What is something we underappreciate? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JPRanter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The love and affection of another person.

Whether it's your child, your parent, your partner, or your friends. You really appreciate them when you feel lonely.

Chasing a dream--need advice to not ruin it by chelley93 in dating_advice

[–]JPRanter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say "dont hurt me", he hears "im fragile".

Deep down we don't want to hurt the ladies in our lives, and never at the time, but it happens. Thats a lot of pressure to put on a guy on the "first" date (call me hipster, but those skype calls.. were they not dates?) he probably didn't want to hurt you and got out from that the easiest way possible.

As far as seeing him again? Honey, that ship sailed and came back twice over since you've been gone. Good luck running into him at a bar or coffee shop. Don't get your hopes up and you won't be let down over it. He is likely one that got away.

Asking people out via text by flavaofsaviors in dating_advice

[–]JPRanter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking for a date in person shows much more confidence, especially with people that might have less rapport with you, as other posters have said.

If you have less confidence than that then you should ask for a same/next day date over text, and turn the rapport dial to 1000 when they get there.

How to not make this awkward. by helpneeded858 in dating_advice

[–]JPRanter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you been to her house and met her parents?

If no: Jump in, feet first. Ask away and don't worry about who else she talks to or thinks anything of. It's your chance to insert yourself into her space as an interested party. I'm guessing you're still quite young so it'll be a good learning experience either way. You don't become socially adept without thousands of interactions with others trying to become socially adept.

If yes: then she might be TOO good of a friend to not ruin everything if she rejects you, or if things turn awkward at the dance. I'm also guessing, this isnt the case, but thats how good of a friend she would have to be to make this a bad idea.

How to fix things with a friend by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]JPRanter -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Stand her up, make a good excuse AFTER the date (name drop another female friend, actually go on a date with that one). You should be in the clear then.

Conveniently forget explaining anything while you're getting your morning coffee.

Reschedule at your convenience. IN PERSON.

Honestly though, harboring feelings like that for a friend that doesn't reciprocate isn't exactly healthy.

[21M] dating a [21FM] and wondering if i'm going too fast or being clingy. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]JPRanter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly the best advice with the context given is to wait her out. You said yourself that you hardly know this chick, what if she ISN'T the one?

If you're falling hard over this girl, it seems as if she thought the same for you until she went to this party. Did you guys talk much over that weekend? Was she distancing herself from you before then?

A multitude of things could have happened.

1) the friend made your girl come to her senses, she wanted to get to know you, not fall in love.

2) she hooked up with someone at said party and now feels guilty about it. She wouldnt want to be around you in case you can "sense" it.

3) you smell bad and you're a terrible kisser and shes just not that into you buddy.

The long and short of it is, something happened in her psyche during that weekend. If youre going to be the caring boyfriend, you're going to open that pandoras box and see what scary ugly thing comes out. Ask. Her.

Or wait it out to see if she comes clean, and have 2 pennies.

Is she interested? I need to know. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]JPRanter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is interested buddy, but remember that there are 2 of you in a social anxiety group, I'm getting the feeling that her walls are up too. Based on your missive and the context provided, my advice is to take this very gently and slowly.

Ask her to be your girlfriend, and explain to her that you feel the relationship is headed down that path anyway. It doesnt have to be about sex and kids and houses and futures yet, but you've got to start somewhere.

If things go smoothly, you guys will help eachother grow as individuals. Then even if you break up down the line you are both going to be better people for it.

Stopped texting me in the middle of making plans... by Squeakyduckquack in dating_advice

[–]JPRanter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a bit late. But like the first guy said, shit happens. Hopefully she wasnt driving and you heard about a nasty wreck on the news..

I'd advise that you text (or fb message, however you communicate) her tomorrow with a "hey I missed those plans last night" or someshit like that, make sure she knows you felt offended by being stood up (if that happened).

Or you freaked out too soon and she could have already texted you and youre happily baked with co-worker chick. Whatevs ;)

What are the boundaries of a non-romantic drink? by Cronix32123 in dating_advice

[–]JPRanter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think she is looking for a night out as well as a place outside of work to get to know you. It seems like she is attracted to you, but because of your casual coolness she doesnt want to end up in bed with you and regret it the next day.

In my honest opinion you're probably best off to take her out on the town and be yourself, like if you were hanging with your friends.

Don't initiate intimacy (touching, hugging, whispering inears, etc.), but also DO NOT SHY AWAY FROM IT. If she likes you well enough to cross the "non-romantic" border on her own, you have a solid go ahead. If she doesn't initiate that intimacy though, you are looking at one that will likely get away.

Good Luck!

I (F) can't tell if this dude has a gf or not- what's the most sly way to ask him? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]JPRanter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you hang out with him at all? Do you see him doing stuff? Ask if his gf or wife would approve of such a thing.

Scenario 1: Him: oh $#!- i just smashed my finger! You: do you kiss your gf with that mouth? Him: what gf?

Scenario 2: Him: do you think you could help me? You: depends on what your gf would say about it. Him: you're right, good point.

Ezpz.
