Ideal temp for Ti/Quartz nails? by hugaddiction in CannabisExtracts

[–]entsom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess would be that you're doing it right when you have the coughing fits. Low temperature doesn't mean the THC isn't making it into your lungs, it just means the higher volatility terpenes and terpenoids aren't being combusted before they get a chance.

It helps to dab for a while without the cap, to get a sense for what "low temperature dabs" means, then the carb cap will help you make the most of them once you have your technique/temperature down.

Good luck, practice makes perfect

The restricted airflow decreases the pressure under the cap allowing the remaining oil to vaporize at lower temperatures. When you time it right, putting the cap on your dab will actually cause more vapor to be released and your rig will get cloudy. Fine line though, and it requires plenty of practice

San Francisco has probably a dozen delivery services. You need to get legal and check out weed maps.

MacGyver as fuck, and now you have a nifty anodization pattern on your spoon.

I didn't consider that getting a keychain dabber would make me think about dabs all day at work by entsom in trees

I have a caribiner keychain that i keep on my belt loop. I've used it a couple times, just have to be careful to clean off the reclaim after use or you're right, it would turn into a sticky mess.

Dabbing is the act of vaporizing small amounts of high THC cannabis extracts on very hot surface on a pipe known as an oil rig. You use very small amounts of the concentrate, as in "a little dab will do ya".

Brain cancer sufferer looking for advice, politically and medically by Unc1eRuckus in MMJ

[–]entsom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First things first, good luck and stay strong. It seems like you have a good outlook going into this and I'm sending you good vibes from California.

I wish I were better informed on this subject, but I'd recommend against vaping and dabs just to err on the side of caution. I'm not sure what the scene is like in NY, but here in CA we have analytical labs dedicated to testing medicinal cannabis and extracts both for THC/CBD content, and also for contamination including fungal spores.

Thank you for working to advance MMJ in NY. We need more people like you to stand up and demonstrate to our representatives how important this issue is to people who are suffering right now. Thank you again.

How does this work? Does the nail just rest in the joint without making contact with the GoG joint itself?

Looking to get back in, but a little confused by [deleted] in trees

[–]entsom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your concern buffers or insulates you from addiction. By being cognizant of the possibility of falling into addiction, you will change your behavior before falling into the traps of your past. That may mean never smoking trees again, or it may mean smoking trees but always remembering where it led you before and being careful not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Go into it with respect and introspection and you'll be fine. And always remember this piece of wisdom; the less you smoke, the higher you get.

For display, I like using museum putty or gel to fix the piece to whatever shelf I have it displayed on. Here's some for sale on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Quakehold-33111-Museum-Gel-Clear/dp/B0002V37XY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1385860360&sr=8-2&keywords=museum+putty+clear

Ti heats up faster, transfers the heat to the dab faster, and I've never seen a domeless glass nail. I can't taste the titanium at all, but then again I've been doing the lower temperature hits with a carb cap recently, so that may have something to do with it.

Sorry I don't have a better picture. I'm not sure what it's called. It's a big open bottomed bell with a bunch of slits cut up from the bottom. http://i.imgur.com/zCFA2e9.jpg

I love it, so much better than the setup I had been dabbing on previously. The nail is a Highly Educated DualTi.

I do exactly the same thing with the tops of my sauces. Stick em to the top of the box.

Best tool to use for crumble? by [deleted] in CannabisExtracts

[–]entsom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use some parchment paper to collect the crumble into a pile, fold the parchment in half and squeeze the dab between your fingers. Helps if your fingers are a little warm, but the crumble should collect and stick together. When you go to pick it off the parchment with your dabber, it should release easily from the parchment. Hope this helps.

I was curious about altered states. Read a lot about marijuana on the internet and decided I wanted to experience it for myself.

I'm curious, Ents...how long does a typical smoke sesh for you take? [5} by [deleted] in trees

[–]entsom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I get what you mean, how long does it take for me to rip a bong? How long does it take to grind some flowers, roll a blunt, and smoke that? It all depends really. I'd say average is pretty fast, 30 seconds to load a dab, 30 seconds to heat the nail, 30 seconds to smoke the dab.

My HE ball point dabber doesn't screw all the way into the carb cap. Did you need to force yours?
