Anyone know how viscosity of live resin and live rosin oils? very very thick? what oil intake holes of vaporizers will work for it? thanks so much

It depends on so many things but every strain will be a different viscosity. but usually live resin/rosins will be less ā€œthickā€ than a cured product and will require smaller apertures on carts.

iā€™ve had problems with using just live resin and d9 distillate with not enough terps . solid like a rock will not prime in a 2mm intake cart i tried. i eventually transititioned from using the live resin at all and right now iā€™m using a blend of different noid distillates with 60% regular thc. and around 8% terps, primes great and flows at room temp.

IME, properly decarbed, vape-able live resin is much thinner than D9 distillate.

No idea on rosin, but it seems to be that distillate devices work better with rosin, so I would assume rosin is thicker that live resin. Could be a number of reasons for that, most of which are widely unknown.

youā€™re probabaly right, just error and lack of experience on my end . i also had a problem with some flakes remaining that would not dissolve even at 180f and didnā€™t notice until the carts were filled because i mistook them for air bubbles when i saw the mixture swirling around

youā€™re discussing a different product than @Dannywarbucks.

there IS no distillate in a live resin or live rosin cart.

did you ā€œproperly decarbā€ that live resin?!?

if you add THCa to your THC, yes, viscosity will increase.

Thanks a lot, is it 1.8mm apertures ok for it?

so you think distillate is thicker than live resin, yes?

Yes. And then you have folks who think you make live resin carts WITH distillate.

If youā€™re trying to design a cart, the same one wonā€™t work for those two scenarios.

Distillate is much thicker than live resin, yes.

And 100% thcA decarboxylated is even thicker. 24 million cP @25ā°C

Nice seeing some viscosity data in a cartridge solution thread.

no i did not decarb it at all actually. i was told that was not necessary when using distillate at the ratios i use. i just mix it in with distillate and cook it at around 170f for 20 mins then add terps and fill carts .

It is definitely thinner than distillate. Decqrbwd resin/rosin live/cured both form what I like to call sap as opposed to the glassy consistency of high potency distillate (w/out terps). Resin/rosin contain terps and therefore will naturally be more fluid-like than disty.

Edit: reading comprehension

That is not necessarily true, depending on the ratios of THCa:Distillate you are using

So you mistook flakes for bubbles, but headā€™s up; bubbles are also indicative of an incomplete decarboxylation for vape ready formulations. So either way what you saw or thought you saw were signs the process was not complete.

Do you have additional indicators of quality from that same source?

Have you now attached a ā€œreliability scoreā€ to their advice?

Not all the live resin have the same viscosity, it also depends on the strain and age of the plant. So thereā€™s no accurate size of intake holes that can work for all live resin, you also need to consider the voltage of the device and the porosity of the heating coil.
