No in fact I hate the mct flavor. Just tastes like cooking oil.
Im steaping some mct with some natural food flavors now to see if it helps. Trying bubblegum, banana, strawberry and tangerine. Only time will tell.
Ive also seen flavored mct just a couple basic flavors like vanilla on amazon. But this was more of health food thing. Id have to look into the i ingredients. And extract flavoring companies selling flavored mct oil for $30 for 4 oz. Thats when I started my steaping experiment.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a vape juice for disposable ccells? I will typically have 500-1000g of qwet winterized concentrate every few months to use for vape juice. I was looking at a product called wax liquidizer to cut my extract with but I could also just get vg and pg and mix. Also there is bulk terpene sellers like the link below which has limonene in 1kg units for like 120.00

Things like PG VG are much harder to use! They don’t wanna mix together and stay
And the taste yuck!
Wax liquidizer was first one I got… It’s an instant diluent… Has plastic taste if hit to long, worked good, is what spawned me getting something better
If you have winterized material I would suggest viscosity from true terps, is their cutting agent that’s terpene based!
But cannabis terpenes will be your best bet!
Dispensary quality equals, plain THC starting pallet and terpenes to cut and flavor!
Instant diluents I don’t suggest but will work…
Just stay away from plain PG and VG. I was never happy!
What’s your wash made from? Solvent wise
Has anyone used d-limonene as the terp for cutting extract for vape?
I haven’t tried the particular one, but someone here suggested that…
I tried using strain profiles which are nothing but plant based terpenes mixed to mimic strains, it works, taste just like…
But the recommended one drop per gram, and I think that’s almost to much!
So if you put anywhere the amount needed to cut something, 5-10 drops is so fake and burns throat almost!
I don’t recommend anything other than cannabis terpenes if your gonna need more than a drop per gram to cut the material… Cannabis terpenes don’t taste overwhelmed when you add enough to cut something other than thin distalites
Viscosity is great, you decarb, add cutting terp then flavor terps.
Much easier to decarb and add flavor in the end, that’s how the big boys do it… Those instant cutting agents are junk unless they terpenes based, right now only one, true terps viscosity, only works with distilles or winterized material
Not gonna lie, that viscosity is way overpriced. I read somewhere online that it’s just repackaged bulk terpenes from perfumersapprentice. Also would be nice from a commercial perspective if I c pi uld cut this stuff down in half with a diluent.
Here’s another one on perfumersapprentice.
My extract is qwet/etoh extraction I’ll be using cold bucket tek and a panda spinner then winterizing and then reclaiming etoh with a pieced together simple distillation.
I can reassure you it’s not bulk terpense, I’ve had others, this has no taste and no smell, clear…
They have some data sheet or whatever you call it you can see where they get there test or whatever done… I’ve spoken to someone that works there too, and with me being familiar with terpenes from cannabis and other plant sources also, and I’ve never seen an odorless and tasteless terp…
By no means did I say it was cheap, but for the amounts it would make for you it’s not very much at all not to inhale PG VG peg…etc…
Terpenes from cannabis is your best bet, a dewaxed terpene from cannabis without a doubt!
You asked I was sharing my experience with this…
Terpenes was the only way I will do now,via cannabis… Only thing I was getting at is if you use any kind of plant based terpenes you better not use over one drop per gram, it’ll be fake tasting
What is the ratio of MCT to Distillate either in grams or by volume? Does anyone know?
@CATScientific Is this BHO winterized? Does the fact of it being BHO have anything to do with the separation? Would using distillate be any different from BHO?
so my question is, if I have distillate do I homogenize it with the terps? and homogenizer machine if I need one, I don’t care bout cost, can you post a good one. Im assuming the homogenizer mixes the parts up perfectly?? Any help is clutch. Thanx
Did you make distillate or buy distillate?
If you want terps, why did you buy distillate?
I’m neither a believer in carts nor a fan of distillate. At least till we know more about the mystery peaks…
…so I don’t really consider myself all that qualified to answer.
If you’re doing this for home scale use, you don’t really need the homogenizer. If you’re planning on doing this for the retail market, you’ll want to look at what @CATScientific has to offer.
It should mix in rather easy at warm temps, they go in right after decarb
Like @cyclopath said, you don’t need really
For optimal results you can for go use of mct all together espescially for personal carts. For good margins, Cut with MCT at rate of .10-.25 ml per gram. Weigh the entire mixture including mct and add aprox 7% limonene. You may need to add more depending on your tatse but dont exceded 10-12% terps
For vg,pg and extract You have to use a surfactant and then emulsify. Or just use one of your homogenizers.
So I got decarb question
If I have old material that all the THCA has converted to THC is there a need to decarbed? Seems like could only darken it and thicken it up.
Making some carts w terp cut
yeah, no. you are correct sir.
if it’s decarbd (THCA has become THC, because it’s been at rm temp for more than 6 months) then a deliberate decarb is not necessary, and will only serve to darken and lose terps (thicken).
Hi
I wondered how your method for emulsifying BHO with VG, would stand up to the following recipe
1% CBD isolate (and 3% and 5% strengths)
7.5% terpenes (various strain specific blends, non cannabis dervived)
91.5% base mix (ideally 50VG : 50PG)
I would like to buy your homogenizer, but the shelf life on the BHO method is not long enough for our application. What would be the shelf life using your method on above recipe? Also, slightly concerned using this method given volatility of terpenes (if homogenzied in sealed jar with sealed hole at top to allow probe through, perhaps this would limit any evaporation of terpenes)?
Why would you expect an equipment manufacturer to know the half life of your theoretical product?
If you want to know if you can make a stable emulsion with that recipe, you will need to try it!!!
Or find a recipe that someone else knows works, and buy it…
The homogenizer is the right tool. Your recipe may or may not be.
“Or find a recipe that someone else knows works, and buy it…”
Do you know where I can buy recipe?
Not a fan of disposables.
If I needed to buy a clue on the subject I’d probably start with @qma
The fact that you’re aiming at 1% cannabinoids rather than the more common 70-80% may make finding a previously tested recipe more problematic.
Even if you do find one, I don’t imagine you’re gonna go to production without doing some shelf life testing. So bite the bullet and get yourself a homogenizer, and if you need to, hire someone to run some tests…
