Vapor resin....What’s in it? Is it healthy?

I know this has been discussed before in the past, and the best answer I usually get is, it is a by product. But what is vapor resin? Does it have a high CBN low THC ratio? Are there any carcinogens in it or is it like hash oil basically? Should I vaporize the vapor resin or smoke the vapor resin? What one would be better? What do you guys think?
 
What exactly do you mean by vapor resin? I'm assuming you mean the tar like residue that vaporizers leave behind, but what it actually contains should vary depending on what kind of vaporizer you have. For example if your vaporizer uses bags that fit a chamber, the residue inside the chamber is probably quite different from the residue inside the bags because both of the places are subject to very different temperatures. The temperature your vaporizer uses in general affects the cannabinoid profile of the vapor and thus what's in the stuff as well, so any ratios of cannabinoids would depend on where you're looking at.

I'd say vaporize the leftovers. You can smoke them too, but combustion always destroys some cannabinoids. I can't say for sure, but I believe it would be healthier to smoke this stuff rather than smoke cannabinoids along with plant material (flowers, bud, leaf etc). So yeah, I view it as basically hash oil of lower potency.
 
By vapor resin yes I mean the golden reside left behind. I use a vaporfection (the new one with the touch screen) And I always use the whip. I usually take the residue were it builds up on the glass part (not the tubing). Hope this helps.
 
The 'honey' that is left behind is Near enough Pure THC.

You cant smoke nicotine 'honey' as the hit can be Lethal, however the Vaporized honey from Cannabis isnt lethal but it is extremely Potent.

Since i got my vape though, i don't smoke anything anymore, i feel much healthier in the lungs since
 
^^why is nicotine honey lethal? Is it because it is very potent and the user doesnt know how potent and may overdose on nicotine? If so, that's some powerful shit!
 
I have smoked the resin from the screen of my MFLB (vaporizer). This stuff is almost definitely NOT pure THC. It does not taste good, it might even give you a headache. If it WAS potent, and got you very high, nobody would bother cleaning their vaporizers because they'd have all the THC they needed, stuck right into the bowl.

Obviously it's a mix of compounds released from the weed, but seeing as THC is vaporized at a low temperature and drifts off (lovely vapor), there should be little or no THC in it. If you are fiending, you can smoke it and ensure that every bit of THC is gone. I wouldn't recommend it.
 
It's funny how you say that, as I just scraped all the vapor resin off my glass piece, and it gave me a very couch like high. I vaporized it at around 395F. I enjoyed the taste. It was potent, but also gave off a sweet smell/taste when I inhaled/exhaled it. I would say it is higher in cannabinoids then THC; definitely different from smoke resin. I would say it is like weak hash oil, as one guy on here said. Feeling very good right now.....That could be from the 2 percs though :D
 
Yeah, it does taste good and is also potent.

Its a hash like substance, not like a pipe resin.

Its like pulling keif and other active ingredients/terpenes through a screen with added heat that creates this melty goodness.
 
It's not healthy... but neither are most drugs. I'd stick to the extracts, edibles, and actual plant. The tar left behind may contain some psychoactive but it is certainly not a good thing to smoke. Exactly how unhealthy? I have no studies (or am aware of none) that prove such a thing,
 
Is it really tar?
I thought that would be a byproduct of combustion.

Personally, unless you are burning your bud I don't think there'd be much or any tar left in the whip.

Some of the lower quality brands may leave some behind and I guess thats a variable you need to think of.

I don't see how its really much different then any other extract for that matter.

The resin left over does consist of active ingredients, the same ones you initially inhale which from what I understand is substantially pure.
It also is like a keif screen that you pull on every time you inhale...with the added heat you also bring down the resins and oil of the plant matter.

Personally, I don't think the extract is much worst then smoking a joint as far as the effect on the body goes.
Better yet I don't think its much worst then any solvent extract either.

That's tar and a lot of carbon, this specific type of carbon is cancerous (all are, to varying degrees, if I understand correctly). The point is, this is one of the most harmful ways of getting high of THC/CBN/Ds.

Also if you don't understand the difference in resin and extracts then you really haven't compared. I just went through 3.5 grams of Grapefruit (100% sativa) earwax hash and it was absolutely stunning, compared to the poor quality and dirty feeling high you get from resin. You can taste the difference. Also, health wise, the difference is VAST. Extracts are the pure product, often whipped, and purged for BHO etc - it is much more friendly to your body and lungs then Resin.

Do you have any sources that shows there is a lot of carbon and tar in the vapor?
I don't think it'd be thought of as one of the healthier ways if that were the case.

Now smoke, and pipe resin...completely different.

I think the wand hash, as I like to call it is nothing alike to typical pipe resin and in comparison to the hash and keif...its quite similar in high and appearance... never got that "dirty" high.

Guess it depends on the temperature and the vaporizer you use?

I understand the difference between extracts and resin, its still resin we're dealing with but the extracts go deeper then the resin glands.

Its just you can't be so sure that there aren't any adulterants left in solvent extract and it some say its even worst for your lungs in comparison to bubble hash.... which is still resin either way.

In comparison with hash and wax extracts, you'd think inhaling an even stickier/ more resinous and oily substance would be worst in the long run the way it coats your lungs.

Bubble hash is relatively pure, it may still have plant matter and its not highly concentrated active ingredients but still relatively pure and unadulterated. You don't have to worry about the same adulterants that go along with solvent extracts.

I like to say all hash/extracts are resin but not all resin is a hash/extract.

Grapfruit, may be sativa dom dependent on which one you get but its still a blend of hybrids....100% sativa really doesn't exist at this point.


I don't see why everything gest thrown into a megathread just to be quickly forgotten and ignored, I understand its purpose but at time it doesn't provide the same amount of discussion and attention as single topics.

I just don't get why a question about if vapor resin is healthy is placed into a poll on if people smoke resin, looking through it.... can't even find anything relative to the original post even after searching through it.

Yeah I do but only if there's no natural. The taste is bad, smoke is harsh... but actually now that I think of it, I almost kinda like the taste of res cuz it takes me back to the day ya know. But no, only if that's all there is. It's a poor substitute. I don't seem to get as high off rez as real. I will, with no hesitation, also smoke filtered bong shmek... I mean, hey when you're out, you're out, and it will work in a pinch.
 
'course I do! I feel like it's a waste otherwise, and another waste of a good time scraping out your bowl. Well, usually it's boring but I get insanely interested in doing so when on Adderall or benzos, haha. Too bad I've had to stop for two years (not by my choice, but still)... least my tolerance will build back up, I guess.
