    Yes, well weed is a plant. One could argue that it was not made for inhaling either...but here we are.
    I’m not concerned about these products and my body. This is the same heat transfer fluid alcohols used in food manufacturing. I know they are safe for any type of consumption.
    The issue is with high heat combustion. Enough to vaporize the PG.
    fortunately for me, none of my vaping equipment could ever reach that high of a temperature. At maximum, I’m still 100F below the danger zone. 😋

    Toker1 I think with any of these carriers, which aren't necessarily made for inhaling, lower temps are the way to vape.
    Is there a healthier way to make CBD E-Liquid? What are the main advantages of using MCT instead of PGVG in your CBD vape juice? What is the part of Terpenes in the formula. How do vape pens work? Before discussing the advantages of using MCT, let's look into vaping. Vapes work through a battery-operated


    Cannabis oil vape cartridges are made with varying strains, solvents, and additives. Which ingredients are safe, and which ones should be avoided?

    With all of the news lately about the potential cancer risks of overheating dabs, VG and PG...I am just using a good Ghost MV-1 and PAX 3 vape with buds. I like that skinny little straw looking pen and it is a convenient thing to screw together and use, but I am no longer the gambler I may have been. They both have oven temps that are customizable and the concentrates require something the size of a grain of rice.
    ON THE OTHER HAND... I still want to see something developed for use in a cartridge

    What is the ratio for mixing terps into the vape juice? I want to mix in some up in the last stage before final cartridge.

    I work with glycerin and glycol at my job. These are food grade products we are discussing (not the other types). I understand the concern about heating into carcinogenic vapors. The temps I am vaping with do not reach the “danger zone” when it comes to heat.
    Safety is always my utmost concern.
    Why are MCT oils more safe? Is it the combustion issue?

    Toker1 I made the oil first in my Source machine, and I always use Everclear 190 for extraction. I read various articles and came to the conclusion that MCT is the safest. If you look it up, you'll see some varied opinions about VG.

    Seems like the temperature to turn VG and PG into carcinogenic vapor is around 450F.
    Good, because my vape pen will reach 375F tops! So seems like there is no real threat unless my pen malfunctions and draws too many amps from the battery.

    Thank you for the recommendation. Did you possibly mean the MCT oil in replacement of the glycol for the wax thinning? I was planning to use the glycerin for the THC extraction from the plant material process.

    I've made vape cartriges and I didn't decarb first because the vaporization temp will do the conversion into THC. I used MCT oil to dilute it--very safe alternative to glycerin.

    Agreed! I was thinking about adding the terps during filling. Maybe I’ll try a mini batch run with out first just to get the hang of it.
    Thanks!! Much appreciated!!

    My understanding is that the commercially available cartridges are manufactured with a clear liquid distillate. When the distillate is manufactured the thc and terpenes are isolated from each other until the thc is fully activated, then blended back together to give a full flavored product. Using distillate doesn’t require your carrier, vg in this case, to be heated to a warm enough temperature to degrade the terpenes. I haven’t heard of another way to get a natural terpene profile without using distillate.
