  2. I have the same question. I’ve ran tei batches so far. The first batch was great. I feared I over cooked, however the pktency was strong. Though, I did skip the filtration step, which makes me think it clogged my cartridge with plant material. However, I just finished another batch and used lots of cheesecloth, but it is still not vaping. It hits once or twice, then doesn’t pull smoke. Please help!!

    • Hey guys! To use this in a vape you need to mix it with PG (propylene glycol) at a ratio of between 50/50 or 70/30 glycol being the smaller amount. The VG is too thick to strain pull through a vape coil. Your other option is to drop it straight into the burner of your vape.
