Can you smoke with e-cig this tincture immediatly after the process?
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.
