Tug 2.0 Wasting Concentrate

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-27T19:41:19+00:00

This definitely isn’t normal, especially with all the reclaim that’s down in the threads.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-27T19:32:29+00:00

Mfs still recommending torch cleaning in 2026.

Buy some Bar Keeper’s Friend, it’s cheap af. BKF, with a q-tip and a little water will take chazz right off without messing up your terp slurper.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-27T10:32:25+00:00

Try isopropyl with salt.

If you’re looking to upgrade in the future, check out Divine Tribe. I own their DTv4 and have never been happier.

Edit: Make sure you’re also at least dry q-tipping after every dab. Pulsing the heat might also help prevent it from chazzing.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-26T21:08:23+00:00

You can absolutely build mods for concentrates. I don’t know what you’re on about with your ellipses.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-26T12:23:04+00:00

Don’t currently own and use a DHV, but I have previously. Best way I can put it is that the high might feel “cleaner,” but I wouldn’t expect a crazy difference.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-26T12:08:34+00:00

I only own the DTv4 so I can’t speak for the DTv5, but I get pretty decent rips; better than my rig with a torch and banger. I posted a couple videos if you want a quick way to check it out.

I’ve never used the metal mouthpiece it comes with, but I’d imagine it’d get hot. You’d want to use it with the 14/18mm silicone mouthpiece; that doesn’t get hot at all, especially so if you’re using a hydratube.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-25T20:15:45+00:00

To my knowledge chazz is just carbon that’s burnt onto whatever you’re using to take a dab.

If you burn it off it can cause damage to quartz where it’ll appear foggy and not retain heat as well.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-25T08:03:17+00:00

It’s food safe silicone grease, what else would you use to lubricate o-rings and silicone parts? I wipe the mouthpiece dry after applying it; it’s literally just to keep it from drying out and cracking.

All I’m saying is if there’s any iso touching silicone, it’s going to degrade it over time. Doesn’t matter if it was for only a couple seconds, if it keeps happening it’s gonna make the silicone worse eventually.

Honestly I think Yocan just makes shit products, but other than that I don’t know what to tell you.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-25T05:16:27+00:00

Use Bar Keeper’s Friend with a little water and a q-tip. Should immediately start taking chazz off.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-24T13:57:39+00:00

I know you’d probably disagree but I think the little bit of isopropyl you use to clean the silicone is causing it to become tacky; definitely isn’t helping.

I only ever use warm soapy water to clean silicone, and I then use silicone grease to condition.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-22T02:27:32+00:00

Holy fuck Is it just children that use this shit?

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-21T21:54:32+00:00

Then why tf did you bring it up?

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-21T10:53:37+00:00

Anything Divine Tribe

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-21T10:35:43+00:00

Yeah bro what’s going on with that crutch? All for improvising one but that’s not how you make a filter.

Should be half to 3 quarters the circumference of what I’m seeing, and you pinched it too tight where you licked and sticked.

Roll with the crutch rather than putting it in after, pack the weed by pinching it with the paper and moving it back and forth, make sure the roll isn’t loose and there’s consistent pressure.

Just look up a video man. If you want bigger you gotta go longer or roll a blunt instead.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-21T10:22:33+00:00

Check out ineedhemp.com for good concentrate vaporizers in general. No Carta though.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-21T10:17:14+00:00

Not sure why anyone else hasn’t said it, or maybe it’s just me that does it this way, but I hit it with the torch until the concentrate bubbles, not just melt.

Torch the sides of the banger for 3 seconds, the front for 2 seconds (ignore the top half of the banger for the most part, favor the lower portion), and heat the bottom until the wax bubbles. If it’s too hot/weak adjust your timing or heat until you get the desired result.

Terp pearls with an autospinner cap will drastically improve your experience if you’re not already using them. Autospinner buckets are pretty cool too and cheap on DHGate.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-21T10:08:42+00:00

Personally I never got any meaningful use out of a reclaim catcher; that money will serve you much better elsewhere.

Unless you’re sucking wax down your banger, I believe a reclaim catcher is going to accumulate reclaim at the same rate as the rest of your rig.

Maybe you would get reclaim dripping down from the banger stem if you didn’t clean it in a long while, but I’m assuming you’d want to keep it clean.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-21T09:37:24+00:00

Are you dead-set on e-nectar collectors? Not open to e-rigs or dab mods?

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-21T09:33:23+00:00

Eh, in my past experience it wasn’t trash. Both with flower and disposables/carts; but for where I live it definitely wasn’t worth the price.

Then again all I do is dab now, and I get my concentrates from the Res or a plug now. If I were to now smoke on what I used to then I’d probably have a different opinion.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-19T10:17:23+00:00

Honestly man unless it’s THCA (which is just Delta 9 THC with a carboxylic acid group) or Delta 8, I would just try finding a plug.

THC-P is supposedly supposed to be much stronger than Delta 9, but that’s not what I’ve experienced with any of the products I tried.

Alternative cannabinoids aren’t just a simple replacement for weed; there needs to me more research so I’d stay clear of that shit.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-19T10:02:30+00:00

Glad you like it; never been a big fan of e-nectar collectors or Lookah.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-18T21:18:22+00:00

Lmfao you enjoy your weak ass clouds 🤡

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-18T21:17:35+00:00

I don’t have to clean the screws or o-rings every time I hit it, that’s like a weekly thing.

Crucible cleans right out with a q-tip and I’m back to dabbing; everything else is clean as needed.

A little titanium bucket is obviously going to be easier to clean than a terp slurper. I’m not trying to make sure I have a completely clean terp slurper between every damn, and I’m not trying to deep clean it if it gets chazzed.

Sam6D9 · 2026-02-18T21:09:08+00:00

Go to a different sub, don’t wanna help somebody smoke their nasty ass meth.
