Using a liquidizer can make it faster and simpler to turn shatter into liquid. When considering liquidizing shatter, there are many wonderful flavors to choose from, among them strawberry and grape. Learning about the process to vaporize cannabis in one of the best ways to use the marijuana plant for people who need it as medication. Once you have the liquid, it is easy to put into a vapor pen and smoke it. Adding the flavorings means that the smoke has a pleasant aroma and won’t be easily detected.
Making E-liquid From Scratch
To make e-liquid at home, you need some empty glass bottles with droppers. Use latex gloves for your hands and make sure you have blunt tip syringes on hand for accurate measuring. Other ingredients you’ll need are propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, which are both FDA approved. This is the liquid before you add any flavorings or nicotine, and anywhere from 50/50 to 80/20 VG to PG. is a safe range. This will give you the base. Once you’ve created the base, you can add flavorings or infusing herbs. Then cap the e-liquid bottles and put them into a cold and dark place for a few days.
Infusing the E-Liquid
Some of the better methods of making liquid are by using BHO concentrates and similar waxes. A form of shatter is butane honey oil concentrate, which is one of the most popular used to make e-liquid. To make the process simpler, decarbing the BHO will help to keep it from crystallizing in the cartridge later, and dewaxing BHO can help remove residual solvents and plant matter. This will make the vape work smoother.
Materials Required for the Liquefying Process
- A small glass container. If you cannot get one, you can use a shot glass. If you have to use a large container, use one with a curved bottom, so the THC vape juice runs into the center.
- You’ll need syringes with needles or slim metal tips with which to inject the e-liquid into a vape cartridge or pod.
- You’ll need a glass stirring rod, or you can use a clean dab tool or stainless steel stick.
- You’ll need a cartridge, and you can choose a standard 510 threaded vape cartridge set up or a pod-style set up for your THC liquid.
Making THC Vape Liquid
After you have all of your materials, you can begin the process of making the liquid. You have to mix the concentrate, diluent, and terpenes. Just pay attention to the dosages.
Heating the Concentrate
Take your mixing container and put it in the concentrate. Heat it until it comes to a liquid state and keep it at a low temperature, so it stays liquid, Do not make it too hot because THC and terpenes begin to vaporize at about 315 Fahrenheit.
Mixing and Ratios
Once the concentrate is liquid, you can mix in your terpenes and diluents. You have to use small amounts of terpenes. The ratio of diluent to concentrate can vary depending on the thickness of the concentrate. Take your stirring tool and stir while it is heating. Then let the concentrate cool off and check to see if it is viscous enough to be placed into a vape cartridge. If it seems to be too thick, you can add more diluent.
Injection Into Your Cartridge or Pod
Now take the syringe and suck up the liquid so you can inject it into your cartridge or pod. If necessary, remove the mouthpiece before injection. After you have injected the liquid into the cartridge, you can sit back and enjoy vaping.
This is a process that is not at all complicated, and you can liquidize shatter quickly. The only tricky part can be gathering all the materials. So it is best to do that when you are not going to turn the shatter into liquid yet, and you have time to see if you have everything you need. Because of the many flavors, people enjoy using vape pens, making the liquidized shatter taste like fruit juice. Using this process can save you a lot of time because it takes over a month to use 5 grams of shatter. Now when you turn the shatter into e-liquid, it will take you more than two weeks to use up one gram, so by liquidizing, you have doubled the total consumption duration.
