Thank you for all the great useful information
What do you think about delta 8 thc
Beaker is not making a water soluble powder.
He is making powdered distillate.
making distillate. freezing it. grinding it. vaping it.
he could also sprinkle it like fairy dust on anything he felt like dosing as far as edibles goes… but I have not heard him discuss that route of administration.
So at room temp would that go back to a gooey form?
@cyclopath so would this method be able to absorb into the mucus membranes, or is not not even water soluble and the reason you can sprinkle it on things and get high because the THC is active in disty?
The powder is simply hardened and frozen but otherwise sticky like obtained in a dispensary the moment it thaws. It thaws really at about ambient room temp according to your own definition of solid or liquid. My personal stash is terpene free which allows the powder to stay frozen at room temp fairly long. However the moment it is sprinkled onto the tongue it again returns to hydrophobic and will not readily disolve in saliva. So what happens simply is you end up swallowing it and then dose that way. A big lump under the tongue will disolve but very slow like a glob of caramel but harder a bit. whether it is absorbed into the upper gi tract at that point or not is unknowable by me.
The problems with oral dosing are well known. Much medicine may be lost according to stomach contents and your ability that day stomach wise to digest. This is a problem with all medications ingested so devices like capsules and such that have a variable ability to time release medicine are used. D9 THC cannot be made to have a different melting point.
My goal has never been to develop any tech for oral administration. I have tested on myself many times oral dosing. It is not for me as it does not relieve the urge to medicate as quickly as vaping or otherwise inhaling. As for me the inhaling is very stealthy because my medicine is refined by me to remove all traces of odor really. I know with certainty what pure D9 smells like and can assert that the average Joe on the road would never equate the smell to cannabis but more a pleasant aroma therapy type odor with a hint of polymer evidence and generally fairly faint at that. It eliminates the need for odor control in the home and outside.
I think a huge part of the allure of oral ingestion is the stealth factor meaning no hassle of odors in the home or on the person and also the easy ability to take it on the road then for your journeys.

Sometimes smell may play a factor, not for me though. I have un-terped distillate too its very very clean, although due to health I can’t smoke anything anymore and should really stick to it (occasional disty dab but I feel the consequences) I like the rapid onset high from a dab and looking for a route like that without smoking my meds.
Coconut oil and shatter decarbed worked best for me in really high dosages it helped me for like a week when my lungs werent letting me take anything in * i like to put it in a glass syringe and dose like that

Yeah i would throw a gram of shatter to coconut oil 50/50 amd fill up 2 distillate syringes then dose bout about 1/4 of the thi g at a time sometimes little more if you need immediate relief just make sure to get a nice decarb

I just drop drops all over my tongue mouth under my tongue and just let it sit for a bit

decarb shouldn’t be an issue with distillate

True that i never really have any distillate layong around since i dont have a system only time i ever had a chunk a got an ounce for 280 of raw distillate wasnt no high 90% shit i dont think but i haven’t really got to play around with distillate as much as id like i want to get a cheap Chinese spd and play around

For really cheap distillation a horizontal rig with kugelrohr bulbs is very hard to beat. I am talking about just a few bulbs, a heating mantle, and a vacuum pump and then the specific knowledge about theory of operation and simple numbers regarding temp and vacuum.
There are no chillers or anything else needed and I can easily refine just in those bulbs into very high 90s as a percentage quite easily. The expense is the vac pump but even new ones now I see that could handle this process at a micro refinement scale are no more expensive than an iPad Pro and certainly no more expensive than a great gaming PC.
I avoid the horizontal now because I can achieve my goals in slightly different fashion from where I began but it is hard to beat the price point and simplicity of operation of a horizontal rig. Irregardless of how much money you dump into a system the THC still evaporates and condenses under the same principles and I am at a loss why the industrial rigs all shun the horizontal method that eliminates ENTIRELY the need to create a thermal stack which is how traditional SPDs work. My small heating mantle consumes no more energy than an efficient light bulb does.
The really nice thing about starting in such a humble way is you learn from the ground up how things play out and work so much easier than plopping a chunk of money down and trying to figure out somebody elses system.

Nice man thats really interesting just watched your video would be interesting to see more or a video in action super sick gonna look more into maybe setting up sp.ething myself
Here is the longer version. My set up is changed a bit but it is substantially the same.

Maybe that was a shorter video? * ok now its playing the full video it had stopped on me for some reason *Whats the the boiling flask have around it im confused kind of whats going on in the mantle area
That is a full spherical heating mantle. Under the mantle is the stir bar device.
Ah ok is that what thats called damn that was a really good video thank you …at the end of the video ypu had 2 different fractions what was the darker one? And after you took out the first fraction and moved bigger bulb down was that lighter fraction at the end of the video what came next then the darker one?
I allowed dark tails to come across which in a first run really is SOP for me. The idea on first run is to glean every bit of med in my rig. Then subsequent runs I can throttle down the temperature and coax out the medicine for use. The first challenge is pulling most of the medicine out of the tar which takes higher temps and such. Then as I run the med again I am always lowering the temp used in order to nail down purity.
