So... good day gone bad. I'll share with some narration.
Today's goals..... Take care of work task. Along the way, pick up Everclear, empty vape tanks, and some drywall repair parts. Seems easy enough. One of the cheesy liquor outlets bordering the quarter would surely have Everclear. The tanks were a know entity and just another stop as were the drywall parts.
Parts collected, the plan could solidify.
Make vape juice with nothing but PG, VG, and kief. Followed directions found
here mostly.... I used a crock pot to get to temps rather than a messy double boiler config. No water in the crockpot, just 1g (oh? really?) of kief and 4ml each of PG and VG. Heat above 220, but not over 270 for 5 hours stirring every 30.
So... I mix my goos and get them warm. There's vapor coming off the mix after about 200f. Much more as the numbers rise.
I dig out my grinder. It's oversized... kinda like 2 ice hockey pucks but a touch more around. I opened the lower chamber. It's been full for a long time. Stuff was getting quite compressed in the corners. I think to myself "dat's gotta be a few grams". I crank the scale out and switch it to grams. Put an oversized small plate on top, zero'd it and started pouring. Continued pouring. Emptied 1/4 of the supply and no numbers changed. Continued pouring. Got frustrated and dumped entire contents and scrapped it out with the little spickula thingy. 0.125. WTF!?!?!? I can't fathom this, but the numbers don't lie. Fuck it.... I'm moving ahead with 8ml and all the kief in the grinder. It's huge friggin pile. No way that's not gonna be evil.
5hrs later, I get this...
It was very thick. Like cold butter with something dark mixed in. It was very reminiscent of the dessert from the V-day meal I just shared with the sweetheart.....
So... obviously something is wrong. I search my mind for a couple of hours. Finally, I go power on the scales to check them. "Oz".
Ok.... shit. 0.125oz =3.54g.
Damn.
So tomorrow, I'll add more mix and see if it's salvageable. If not... meh... I know where plenty more is.
Oh... and the Everclear.... planB for a tincture in the Magical Butter Machine and improved filtering.
