Making carts

There seem to be differing opinions on MCT oil: https://www.reddit.com/r/CBD/comments/7munky/cbdistillery_using_mct_oil_as_vape_oil/

Personally, I’m thinking about incorporating it into a cheaper line of vapes.

I thought and heard mtc is no good to vape?

I’ve always heard PG, mct veg glcy are all toxic to the body

I think it’s more unknown than anything. Could it be bad?..definitely to an extent. Small amounts probably aren’t too bad but the science isn’t quite there yet. Loads of people have been using it in commercial products for quite some time now. I personally would rather not use it it but I have to keep my margins so that’s why I do it.

Thought Id post these measuring Glasses I found at local target. $2 each. I bought everyone they had when I found them. Much thicker but not too thick that it will still work with magnetic stir bar.

so none left in stock??

The other option. For example. Stop putting it in there. That’s the other viable option. Seriously. Not being mean or rude or anything. But, that shouldn’t be in there. Coconut oil is awesome, you’re not supposed to inhale the vapors, though. I promise you, there is someone far smarter than either one of us, that can prove it.

%10 isn’t a bad dilution. Many other cart manufacturers go up to 15%. At the 10%+ point it starts tasting too “synthetic” IMO. I make my carts at a 6%~ dilution with terpenes. If I’m using HTE that I made. I’ll bump it up to 17-20%.

at his local Target…

they don’t have a lid, so not ideal for running your distillate past TSA :wink:

Agreed @Dred_pirate. We use 8-10% cannabis derived terps (depending on strain profile), and HTE at 15-20%. If we use HTE which still has some THCa in it, then we use 1% TEC to insure proper binding to eliminate any crystallization within the cartridge (shelf life). Food Grade TEC is an ester of citric acid, and is colorless, odorless
