I've been having a problem with carts I made not hitting. Are you supposed to use it quick? Vapuer terp mix that a few weeks old, and it just doesn't vape. It might have gotten a little darker, but otherwise looks fine. Brand new ccell carts and new batteries. I'm thinking about taking the oil out and putting back on a hot plate, maybe add a little terps and remix under heat. Anyone got any ideas?

Only time I had this issue it was that the pin on the cart got pushed back a bit when I took it off to charge the battery. Did you check to make sure it was connecting?

I’m not hooking my stuff to a shop vac, yuk. I’m not knocking your process, I’m just not doing that

The shop vac is sucking air from a bucket.. producing low pressure at the only other opening in the bucket.. at no point does anything pass through the shop vac except the air sitting on top of your wash.

apart from annoying microfilters, I just don't see how one could make a good product without vacuum winterization at home.

I do not store man in the refrigerator and I also do not load my cartridges in advance. I only load the cartridges they are ready to be used

I think stirring in the fridge mint have something to do with it. It's the only thing that I'm gong That is raising a question on my mind. Maybe there's something happening to the mix on molecular level with it being stored that way. I don't store it in carts, just little vials.

Everyone here is using these little syringe filters. You can get them on Amazon or check out vapuer terp auto winterize.

Yeah I know, even the guy in the vids says he uses them now.
But this video demonstrates to anybody with a bucket a vacuum cleaner and an old bottle, how to get the job done.

Add to that the fact that some people like myself are very sensitive to PG which is found in many of those kinds of products.
I'm actually itching to order a few flavours and brands to see if any are useable.

all the vac is doing is pulling the QWET THROUGH a coffee filter a little faster than gravity. What you’re doing is not a vacuum purge..... nothing of the sorts... no need for that contraception

So I still haven't gotten to the root of my problem. Nothing vaping no matter what combination of carts batteries. I warmed some juice back up and ran it through a filter again, no go. I made a new batch last night, no go. The only thing I can think here is my vapuer terp auto winterize juice is no good. I'm going to order a different brand of juice, I've tried everything I can think of to resolve this. :wall:

Yeah filtered, new batteries, and carts. Give me a bit and I can put up some pics. I'm not home right now. I am rather perplexed here, I'm not doing anything different than what was working before.... well I bought better batteries and ccell carts. But I bought the new stuff because of this same issue that hasn't went away. The only thing that hasn't changed is the vapour terp juice. One brand of batteries just flash like something is wrong, and the other batteries heat up the atomizer but no vapor..... I'm not too big to accept that I'm doing something wrong, but I can't see it if I am.

you're not injecting the oil down the center tube, are you? lol I know its an obvious thing, but I almost did it by accident the other day.

also I've been reading and it seems like every cutting agent is bad for you

I almost wish it was something stupid like that, I had this working pretty good for a while...... As far as what's in some of these juices, idk, but I'm sure it's not good for us. I want to get a distillate rig but, I have too many expenses right now let alone time to learn how to run it. Maybe in the summer.

Seems like every other week.... vaping is better than smoking, then next week it's worse. Does anyone really know? I fucking doubt it, but they're going to make some noise about it anyway. Lol

like, one study I was reading said that they all create formaldehyde when vaped at 230c, and i'm pretty sure my cartridges are firing nowhere near that temp.

I'm not sure about formaldehyde, have you ever smelled it? Nasty stuff...... Oh that's Celsius, that is pretty hot. I think more like 2-230f for these kind of pens right?
