looks like you got a nice collection of wax there, what kind of purge do you do? I just picked up a little bit of some absolute shatter, super bomb.
 
Looks like a tasty slab Harm :)

Pot of hot water under the pie plate purge.

Had huge ice chunks in it, took 9 runs in my ss extraction tube.

Freeze it to make it easy to handle

That looks like some good errl Harm. Nice glass Danky.



I've had my Ti for about one year and it's turning white.

Question for Titanium users: Do you replace your Ti when it starts to turn white from oxidation?

you should hold a contest where people guess how much it is and the prize could be a gram of it ;)
 
harm you gotta look into how to make absolute shatter, a process called winterization. I just picked up a little bit from my buddy and it is way cleaner than regular. Pretty sure it will remove a lot of the fats/lipids in the mix, leaves a much more translucent end product. vac purges are great too and can be rigged up pretty easily using a painters pump and a large glass jar with the right fittings for a few hundred bucks. definitely steps it up a bit as well.

I just tossed my TI nail that I had for about 2 years or so. It was pretty white and becoming really porous, also I noticed bright red flakes coming off the nail when heated. I've heard butane torches are too hot and accelerate the oxidation process.

idk maybe it was all in my head but I thought that the nail was giving it a funky taste, like a real distinct metallic sort of taste. If it isn't American made, it could be a junk Chinese TI alloy. I got mine dirt cheap so I kinda figured you get what you pay for and in the trash it went.

I figured you can't stop the process, but I haven't noticed a change in taste so far so I'm hesitant to just through it away too.

Propane is even hotter, but the trick is to watch the nail and not let it get bright red. Taking hot hits not only taste bad, but is bad for your throat and lungs.

If you are hitting the nail while it's red, that would explain a bad taste. Titanium is one of the cheapest available metals, meaning there isn't going to be a big difference in quality between China and the States; Titanium is cheap as dirt.
 
I meant propane, but even with butane I'd always heat the nail until it was red hot.

I'd have to disagree with titanium being one of the cheapest metals tho.. based on a quick search average scrap price of titanium is $4-8 depending on quality. Copper scraps at $1-3, aluminum less than that and steel/iron for pennies on the pound. It would definitely be beneficial economically for a producer under much less stringent standards to use an alloy as opposed to pure titanium.

I try to only get the nail partially red, and then as it cools down and I can almost immediately take a tasty hit. If I get the whole nail red hot, I have to wait about one or two minutes before it's cool enough to take a tasty hit. I imagine that heating up the nail red hot is not only going to wear it out faster, but (for me) it's going to waste a lot more time (waiting on it to cool).

Do you hit it while it's red too? If so, why?

Titanium is inexpensive any way you look at it. Your hypothetical scenario could happen just as easily in the States as it can in China.
 
re: absolute shatter....

I am too lazy and don't have the time to do a second wash. I like the terpene profile from regular BHO (smell and flavour). As long as you get your solvents out its all good. If I "cook" the BHO to hot/long I get a glassy shatter, but I don't wanna go though a lot of extra work for zero real benefit to me, no one is gonna pay more money than they do for the current product which is hella potent.
 
Hey

Don't know if any of your remember me, its been over 2 and a half years since i bluelighted, but this place got me through a tough time,
but when i was quitting opiates i had to escape seeing the word heroin every five minutes, 2 years and 2 days shy of 7 months clean off opiates,
Hope everyone is doing great, im sure there are a tonne of people i don't know i just miss bluelight
Or the people yelling bankai in this thread. which is what actually motivated me to sign back on, reading the word bankai reminded me of this place, and today it seems like the sun has shone for the first time in a long time.
wolfgang and captain heroin, i rememeber thoose names,

there is another name i remember, thank you, nice to see you and some of the people who i rememeber from back in the day, but my head is alot more blurry then it used to be,
i wish they made bic lighters refillable, or with adjustable flame, cuz it starts out with this huge flame, and you only need to toast your herb and get an ember, some people flame their bowl to shit,
haven't smoked yet today, i have a possesion charge in my name from new years, luckily i am in canada,
i knew a guy who lit a cop car on fire, then got busted for shooting coke into his arm down an alley with a qp of mushrooms in his bag,
then got busted for selling to an undercover, and didn't even get time, just probatation, and had to keep seeing the methadone doctor he was already seeing ,
Peace pot and a 1200mic microdot
 
yep, nice to be here n high. lots of people come n go, some disappearing without a trace. jet lighters are great if you dont need to keep your fingers right near the lip of the bowl, can hold it an inch away and the bowl gets beautifully lit just from the heated air coming off the flame itself
 
Wolf, I suppose inexensive is a relative term, but most my sources seem to suggest cheap isn't the word for it, although abundant. And as far as a manufacture diluting the metal, it could much easier happen in China due to much less stringent manufacturing laws/regulations. All US made stuff isn't always 100% either tho.

Harm, around here absolute shatter definitely gets premium mark up and is definitely more sought after. Some people won't touch stuff that hasn't been double purged. I agree tho, it does add a lot of work to the process.

Well, I think I'm finally over cannabis... I went from an everyday toker to maybe once or twice a week and lately I've been going weeks without bud. I never thought this day would come tbh, but I just don't get anymore enjoyment out of it and my tolerance is extremely low nowadays. I still enjoy the ritual, taste, and appearance of good weed though... I guess that's what has kept me for a while.

On a brighter note I am satisfied with the two most recent strains I've been burning, B.T.Y OG and Atmosphere. The atmosphere is great, probably my second favorite strain after hypnotic. If your into sedating anxiolytic highs this is a strain I'd recommend. Great genetics, white widow and OG.

For those who enjoy pics of weed as much as I do here's a quick pic of what's left of the atmosphere... I'll probably take a better photo of both strains and send em' in for pot or not and make one last contribution, as I'm not sure I'll be buying weed for a while :(.
