Homemade oil for my vape pen

Officially banned by the MED along with the more-notorious vitamin E acetate and polyethylene glycol (PEG) at the start of 2020, medium chain triglycerides (MCT oil) is a form of concentrated coconut oil and was a popular natural additive for nicotine and cannabis vaping oils. But the binding and thinning agent can produce potentially toxic substances like acetaldehyde and formaldehyde when heated, leading to MCT becoming an MED-banned additive in January.

Now I'm back to being better off not vaping, maybe it's not meant to be lol.

If you use CCELL type carts you can vape pure distillate with no RPT no viscosity modifiers. Pure plant.
I think if I want to vape I'm going to have to look into making my own disty. I don't trust the bm stuff, I can get 3 10ml syringes for 260. It didn't seem bad but makes you wonder how it was grown/processed at that price. And the dispo carts are too expensive lol. I know you make it, do you have a recommendation on kit or glassware to get started?

Truthfully after vaping distillate I wasn’t happy with my DIY carts. So this time I’ve tried to winterize better. My carts always tasted pretty good for the first couple uses but then turned shitty.
Just honest
That's been my experience too. These diy carts are ok, but leave you wanting something better and safer.

I can get bootleg distillate but I don’t trust it... at all... The last batch I saw floating around was tainted with eagle 20. I mean it was all over the Internet and sure enough they popped up in my home town.... scum bags

Fresh frozen live rosin. just need a nug press and micron bags. Apply heat and pressure. Get a empty glass tank. Apply heat as needed to thin out.

There's a thought. I looked all over for how carts are being with rosin. That tek seems to be coveted lol. I have seen people putting rosin in certain tanks too though, could be a viable option.

Doing this, you would still have fats/ lipids, and tge funky taste. Atleast I think you would

Ya you can get away with it in tanks on mods i belive. There's is a tek to put straight resin in carts. I just don't know how peeps are removing the fats and lipids without chems. They say the have it figured out but don't share the recipe lol.

Cannabinoids from the starter material should be the only fats and lipids in the rosin. If it is not to your taste then maybe try another strain. The idea is to remove unwanted plant material and keep the good stuff. Easier said then done.

The fats and lipids come out of the plant material when squished don't they

Yes but I think the technical name for those fats and lipids is cannabinoids and terpenes
No it's fats and lipids that come out of the plant material. Cannabinoids are neither fats nor lipids, it's dead weight in your final product really. Fats/lipids clog carts, cannabinoids/terps do not. Fats, lipids, plant waxes are usually winterized using chemicals to be removed so they don't clog carts. What I'm referencing is a tek that isn't using chemicals to winterize rosin. I'm not even sure if it can be called winterizing. I'm just not in the know on this specific tek.

Solvent based extraction of live rosin will need to be further purified. A proper pressed live rosin does not. The starter material is key. Fresh bud contains too much water and needs to dry before pressing. Some go as far as collecting dry sift for full melt and then pressing the hash. No winterizing needed after.

I think that is what “ diamonds” are. Not sure

Well if you’re making diamonds you are ahead of the game
It's pretty easy man. Bho in a mason on a heat mat @80f and time. The more terpy the extract is the easier diamonds form, live extract is preferred because of that. Hell even if diamonds don't form, you end up with sugar wax which a couple steps above shatter imo.
