Oh, and I see that High Times just did a story where they review 32 vape pens. They state that it is their most viewed subject on their website. I am sure I will disagree with most of it though LOL.
031 QWISO 11-15-13

Nov 15 2013
While I am waiting for my QWISO to harden I thought I would share a link to an article about winterizing. I have never done any winterizing what so ever before, but I think I might give it a try.

My goal was to test the QWISO in an e-cigg vaporizer.

I have wood burners for heat and fans blowing on the oil. It has been a couple days now. It is super thick, but not like glass hard. That would probably take a good week or two. Like I have seen with RSO.

I checked how thick the oil was when this picture was taken. It is thicker than my RSO when it is complete. I am confident all of the alcohol has evaporated out.

I warmed it up with my coffee mug warmer to melt it up then added propylene glycol USP and mixed it well. I gently warmed the mixture and stirred it around again to be sure it was blended well. You must be careful about too much heat or too long on the mug warmer because it will start to vaporize.

I tried out QWISO e-juice for the first time with my eGo C Twist and an iClear16 clearomizer. I am impressed. It seems to offer a different buzz compared to RSO being vaporized in the same manner. The buzz seems to hit more instantly, similar to smoking bud. It is very potent. After my second vape hit I already had a buzz. Took a couple more hits a few hours ago and I am still buzzing. The QWISO e-juice is very smooth with a light ganja taste. I also put some of the straight QWISO in my pipe and put a lighter to it to compare it to RSO in the same manner. It was definetly smoother than RSO when burning it. One thing that I was hoping to get from QWISO is taste/flavor. I was hoping it was going to give me more flavor than the RSO. I used very flavorful Quish and Strawberry buds. When I smoke or vape the QWISO, I cannot say that I taste the buds like I sometimes do with the RSO.

I like it. This is my first impression of it comparing it to RSO in a vaporizer. I think I like it better. I only see one problem for me though. That was a lot of alcohol evaporating in my house just to get a couple of grams of oil. When I make RSO it is easy to do a quantity, since the evaporation is done outdoors with a rice cooker.

I have to come up with a good way to evaporate the alcohol to do like 1/4 pound of premium bud without all the fumes in the house.

Making just two grams of oil made from a little less than 1/2 oz of bud was not a problem, but I am picturing doing a large quantity, like 1/4 pound of bud potentially being a problem.

Didn't have the sunshine when I took the pictures so the true color is not showing, but it does have a nice premium transparent amber color. This was from three fast frozen washes. Now I would like to see the oil made from one or two fast frozen washes.

I think my favorite e-cannabis oil mix so far is RSO and QWISO hash evenly mixed with about 30% PG USP.

This picture is the mixed oil in an iClear30 attachment. Best yet!

Well, I did finally get started with a small winterizing experiment.

For treating cancer or eating the oil or whatever, this winterizing of super clean oil is not necessary in my opinion. It is very important with vaporizing though. A lot of the reason is taste/flavor. The cleaner the oil is, the better it vaporizes with less problems with clogging. It is more necessary to get a cleaner, high potent oil so you can get relief, a buzz, from just a couple of pokes or hits from your vaporizer. Medicinally speaking, you don't want chlorophyll and such going directly into your lungs. With eating the oil, a small amount of chlorophyll does not make a difference. For vaporizing, it can make all the difference.

The winterizing test I did is not like in the skunkfarms link and is not exactly the best technique for winterizing. It is just a basic, simple method that other people have told me worked for them. My results also include using paper coffee filters for filtering. I am glad I did this test. I don't consider it a success, but in a way I do. It is more information. I haven't made RSO in a long time, since before the COA ruling actually. However, I did have some stored away and I have been conducting my experiments with what I did have available.

The oil I tried the winterizing with did not need winterizing, but it was all I had available. It was a very clean oil that was made with two quick frozen washes.

I took three grams of the oil and warmed it up using a coffee cup warmer. I added 3/4 cup of 99% isopropyl alcohol. I stirred it around to be sure it mixed thoroughly. I poured it into a small glass container and put it into the freezer for about a week. When I took it out of the freezer, and first looked at the oil, there was nothing floating up on top, .there was just a small amount of sediment on the bottom (very clean looking sediment). I filtered it through a paper filter since the sediment was so fine looking. I very gently re-purged the oil removing the isopropyl. I did do one thing different, which I may do from now on. I let it sit out for 3 days after the purge was complete to let it dry more, like you would do with QWISO. I warmed it back up so I could suck it up into a syringe. I started off with 3 grams of oil and ended up with 1.75 grams. A lot of the missing oil is due to waste from oil sticking to the warming cup and also allowing the oil to dry more than usual. The winterizing sediment was about 1/4 gram if that. I realize this is not the standard method for winterizing, but I have heard it can help and I believe it to be true. I don't think it did my clean oil any good. It seemed to be more of a waste actually. If it were an oil that was not as clean, I am sure there would have been more of a success. More than likely, there would have been chlorophyll or other elements floating on the top where it could easily be filtered out. I don't doubt at all that if I were to have used the techniques as stated in the skunkfarms link, I would have yielded better results. I did learn some things through this. Like the paper filter; I quit using paper filters. Maybe I shouldn't have because sediment made it past my typical filtering process. So I decided to find out for sure. I allowed the sediment that was caught in the paper filter from winterizing to dry for a week. I just now put some in a clean pipe and smoked it. It did not taste too bad. I never tried to smoke the sediment from the filter before, but this stuff looked really clean, so I gave it a try. I got a nice little buzz from it. I don't want to remove that from my oil. At least I don't think so at this point.
