I decarbed my flower in a mason jar with my air fryer, 225F for half an hour, using propylene glycol to extract, everything I've read indicates that for every gram used you're able to produce 1 ounce of liquid, it said to steep for 3 months in the dark, tested after 3 days and couldn't think straight after 1/4th of a 5ml sub ohm tank.

I started making regular vape juice about 12 years ago, I have around 25 different flavors I can currently make, unlike the dab pens if the mix is right there's no cough or harshness, I have 4 mixing cups of blueberry honey steeping right now, but it hits almost like an edible because by the time you feel it, it's too late to do anything but take a nap.

I quit smoking cigarettes and switched to a vape , I used flower to help me not want to light up a cigarette. But I'm good now ha ha can handle sitting with people smoking cigarettes.

I really love cbd fx vape juices

CBD + Delta-9 THC Vape Juice: OG Kush - CBDfx.com

Our CBD + Delta-9 THC OG Kush Vape Juice delivers powerful relaxation effects for the mind and body. Shop online today!
cbdfx.com


But at 80 bucks for 30ml and it's low percent . It's so expensive !! I have made some pretty stout canna butter with stuff I grew. I want to learn how to make my own stuff like cbd fx THC vape liquids . So do you have a recipe I can follow or where do I get the food grade vape 70/30 mix . I have about 2 lbs ready for harvest in about 4 weeks. Perfect opportunity to mess up some flower trying .

I have a liter of PG but it's for a fog machine. LMAO Not food grade one, where do you get the consumable one? And what brand is better . Would you use the same 70/30 pg vg mix to do it or are you using a different ratio to extract it . Then combining with the VG? Because the THC vape juice is a 50/50 blend

I did the same with quitting cigarettes but after about a year the vape was making it hard to breathe which made it easy to quit vapping. I've played around with making my own THC and/or CBD vape juice but never really succeeded. I bought a qt of both the vg and pg 3-4 years ago (since rats got into it and ate them both) but didn't like the results. I even tried 90% alcohol tincture added and blended as well as evaporating off the alcohol. No dice.

Since I found the herb vapes

I'm pretty happy although a pen battery that would fit and work would be the ultimate, imho

You can get a liter of food grade propylene glycol through walmart online, just soaking your decarbed flower in that alone makes a big Improvement on the thc level, I use liquid stevia as a sweetener, I run my mixes at about a 75vg 25pg ratio just for the clouds it produces.

What about straining out the sediment , I find with the purple punch vape juice it has some sediment in it , has a tendency to make my coil burn up a little faster gets sticky cause it's thicker than the nicotine stuff but it's easy to clean out I just alternate it with my vape juice gets me longer time and then gives me no issues.

Have you ever tried just using kief ( bottom of grinder stuff) to make your brew. I have quite a bit of that usually laying around and never know what to do with it other than sift it back into my joints. Can I infuse that as well to increase potency and lower sediment from decarbed flower ?

The cbd fx stuff I get that's just cbd is really clean burning in my vape , crystal clear like water actually cleans my coil, so I wonder how they do that then ? The THC one by same company is thicker with sediment is darker just like syrup /resin .

I use a small funnel with a coffee filter rolled up to strain out the sediment, just put the funnel in whatever bottle you're making and let it slow drip, for my mixes I've found most fruit flavorings are good, except raspberry, I do custom mixes for coworkers, favorite mix so far is caramel cheesecake with chocolate and toasted coconut.

Yes, decarb for 30 minutes at about 230 degrees, otherwise the liquid just takes the color and smell of the buds.

Well. I tried and its awful - but...
It was definitly because of the bud i used. I didnt want to waste anything good on an experiment, so the flavor was really bad - like hay and leaves.
I tried 2 ways - long term flower soak at room temp and heating (steaming) the juice jar with flower at 220 for 25 minutes.

Also have to work on my pg/vg ratio as it was too thin, caused some leaking issues.

So, some lessons learned but i have to wait until harvest for another crack at it - Im sure better weed will produce a better flavor.

Im trying again,
Im using better buds this time - Hard to say how much, 1/2oz? I think. Decarbed at 220 for 25 min
Soaking in 8oz "juice" - closer to 80vg/20pg - A little thicker than last time.
Its sitting on a shelf cooking now, ill try it out in a few days or so.
