NUG GG#4 Shatter x MassTerpenes GG Liquefy - Homemade Happy Happy Oil Oil

Self-Made Sunday

​

Itsuwa Libert X5 0.5ml [0.34g Filled) | CCELL 1.0ml [0.9g Filled]| iPure3 Battery | NUG GG#4 Shatter

Excellent results and a nice smooth oil. Ended up probably using a fair amount more Liquefy than needed but still all good. About ~1 gm (0.95) of NUG's sugared GG#4 Shatter painfully managed to be scraped into the glass mixing vial via a dab tool. I decided to go for the recommended 2:1 Liquefy Ratio so 0.5ml needed. I made the assumption that 0.5ml of Liquefy would be about 0.5g so as such I tried to use weight on a digital jewelry scale to measure Liquefy so I overloaded a syringe with about ~0.6-0.65ml of Liquefy about by the time drop by drop I put it 0.5g, the syringe was empty so I probably ended up putting a bit too much Liquefy (~0.6ml) than needed. It seems my assumption was wrong and Liquefy doesn't have a nice helpful 1:1 weight to volume ration. No biggie. The oil is slightly thinner than it would have otherwise been but smokes great. I could have very likely easily gotten away with the 3:1 Liquefy ratio and only used about 0.34 ml of Liquefy. Carts are a Liberty X5 0.5ml and CCELL 1.0ml. I could have squeezed in nearly all of the oil into the CCELL but I wanted to compare and contrast the carts with the same batch of oil.

...plus a Digital scale or two. Used the standard process....200 degree oven for 30 min...out of oven, used syringe to suck up oil and squeeze back into mixing vial a few times to mix...back oven for 10 min...and here is is... Warm Oil [Vid]

There you have it, Gorilla Glue #4, everyone's favorite all around, anytime of day, happy happy on cruise control strain which makes you feel like you have...

I think I'm Neo now. I was trying to be all cool and whip around doing the Superman thing by posting a video on the oilpen matrix even though submission program told me no videos and I accidentally ended up in train stop to nowhere forever stuck in processing images purgatory until I edited the post and removed the glitch inducing videos. Wyld Stallyns rule!

How did you find the X5 in comparision to the CCell?

Better in some ways, worse in others. The X5 is generally less likely to leak because of its top airflow design, less likely to waste oil since its oil holes are on the bottom and not on the sides so gravity helps keep it wicked. But the X5 seems also more likely to get blocked and give dry hits because the oil holes are smaller (1.2mm) and on the bottom. The X5 also has adjustable airflow via twist on top if you're into that but I never open it past 1 tick out of 4.

So like with this very batch, after the oil sat around a while, I got some minor crystallization. Fairly normal with homemade oils from shatter if you don't decarb fully. Not a super big problem with CCELLs since the oil holes are a huge 2.0mm. But with the X5, the crystals - a whole bunch of tiny itty bitty crystals sank to the bottom like a fine sand essentially covering and blocking the oil holes since they are also on the bottom, at some point giving me dry hits forcing me to grab a hair dryer and blast the cartridge until those crystals re-melted and stopped blocking the oil flow. For the CCELL since the oil holes are on the side and are also bigger, the minor crystallization and those crystals sinking hasn't stopped the flow.

So in short, the X5 is nice and more efficient as long as you don't anticipate possible crystallization issues making sure to fully decarb shatter based homemade oils or just use distillate so you know you'll have a nice smooth oil. But if you think the oil might end up crystallizing, the CCELL seems superior since it seems to handle crystallization better and is less likely to get oil flow blocked.
