FECO and homemade vaping liquid

Hello.
I was wondering is it possible to make a homemade vape liquid using FECO and food grade Propylene Glycol.
Has any of you have experience making vape liquid with THC?
Maby you have recipie to do THC vape liquid?
Any help will be welcome.
THX and THC :wink:

I’ve not done it but I don’t think FECO is the best choice for smoking due to the solvents used and the high amount of contaminants in the product. I’ve seen people talking about it on other forums - same goes for propylene glycol, that is probably not a good idea to be ingesting either…

Most people prefer solventless, pure concentrate to use for this reason.

This is the most common and preferred way to do it I think Step By Step 100% Solventless Vape Cartridges | – The Press Club

Thank you for answer. I read it. I was hoping that this task will be much easier. Unfortunately I have only buds grown by myself and I don’t have any chance to get hash rosin :frowning:

I’ve thought about this as well.
After doing some surfing I found kits to mix and make your own vape fluid at home. You can order flavors and everything.
Not sure how it would work but there would be no nicotine unless you put it in yourself.
You would also be able to create your own personal flavor if you wanted.

I found something like this.

It’s look pretty good. Problem is how to prepare vape liquid solution with our most desirable ingredient -THC :thinking:

You have to balance the PG and VG…then I assume you just add the THC oil the same way you do nicotine when making your own. I looked into it before for regular vape but decided not to then. I’m going to learn how to extract THC oil and try it myself , but that’s gonna be at least a year before I do it. I want to make sure I have everything and know how to do it first.
There’s entire kits online you can buy with everything you need for regular vape.

Psssst… Can you tell me what is VG? Psssssttt… I assume PG stands for Propylene Glycol. I am new in this territory.:grimacing:

Same here.
I am doing my research right now. I think it is worth spending few time to this topic.

I used my trim and scrap to make bubble hash and then press that to get my rosin, mix with a premade vape liquid and heat gently over a long period of time. Strain at the end if there is any floaty bits and you are good to go

VG is vegetable glycerin.
One is for thicking the other is for thinning…if I remember right it’s suggested 80% VG and 20% PG then your flavor and THC/nicotine.
It it could be the other way…it’s been awhile since I looked at it.

I did a quick search this is the first one that came up but there’s several different ones and sizes to.

Not sure it will that easy.

You need an extract that will mix with either PG or VG and smoke at a fairly low temp.

All the extracts I’ve made require a high temp.

You will likely need something like a food grade ethyl near 100% and it would need to be highly filtered source of THC. If you have access to EverClear 195 proof you are set there. But I suspect you will need a loads of weed to get a decent amount of refined extract.

I would make shatter with butane and then mix that with alcohol to create the hash oil. Once you figure out the viscosity you can mix that with a VG\PC mix.

I don’t make shatter these days because it’s too costly and you need to be really careful if you use the butane method. There are other methods but I’ve not tried them.

High grade rosin would work too I imagine.

Actually after doing some research…it is that easy if your able to use a heated press to extract the oil and the mix the VG and PG until the desired consistency. There lots of videos in YouTube that shows how to extract the oil…you can even use a flat hair iron if your careful enough.

They are not going have the volume or access to a press. They said sot in the post.

A cheap heated press start around $200 by themselves. Rosin will not mix with VG or PG so you will still require a solvent anyway. Rosin pressing is an wasted effort for this end goal IMO. Butane Hash Oil, BHO and what I’ve been calling shatter would make more sense. It very refined and devolves in alcohol. The pressed rosin would as well but I believe it has more plant stuff with consumer grade presses from what I’ve seen.

Plus smoking rosin or shatter is going to be a better experience than vaping, so there is that too.

The OP could try making gold dragon tincture, just skipping the decarbing and mixing that with PG but I don’t know if it would have the THC concentration levels to work well. If edibles work well for them maybe the tincture would work alone, tincture are very stealthy.

If you want to use chemicals your right. But you can thin THC oil enough with just PG and VG… nicotine oil is just as thick as THC , I know I’ve seen it in person. And like I said to to Walmart and get a flat iron for hair just be careful to not over heat and burn it. There’s several videos on YouTube showing how to do this. In my opinion chemicals have no place anywhere when it comes to weed. It gets away from the fact it’s a completely natural plant. There is absolutely no need for chemicals at all , and should not blind someone by saying there is no other way .

PG an VG are chemicals, so is the THC.

I just went to the Press Room blog, they cover the ways it can done. I don’t know if I can link that but it’s not hard to find.

Starting with high grade bubble hash is the only method that they offered that was solventless and you may need terpene extracts still.

They do offer several methods from pressed rosin.

You consume VG more than you think…it’s in ketchup , mustard any food that needs to be thinned. PG is a thickening agent. THC is completely natural with no added chemicals by man . You can get great bubble hash and some really great oil from it. Just …Ice , water , bags and a flat iron that you can get for around $10 at Walmart. There is no need for butane or CO2. If you think about it…THC oil has been extracted and smoked for thousands of years going back to at least ancient Egypt if not farther , there is no need for man made chemicals to get very high quality. Just depends on if your willing to learn how and take the extra time to do it right :+1: instead of rushing everything.
Good things come to those with patience.

Chemicals are chemicals like most things some are beneficial others are harmful. Makes no difference if they are natural or synthetic

You will need a fair amount of bubble of your best two sifts. That alone takes a lot of weed. If you have access to that I would agree. I just don’t think a typical forum grower does maybe I’m wrong about that. I have biases based off my states laws.

Now this is just my opinion…but if a man made chemical is needed for refinement - butane , CO2…the list goes on. At that point it’s no longer marijuana , it becomes a narcotic no better than cocaine , meth , heroine…you get the idea.
I don’t even like the idea of adding VG and PG to it. There’s no need for it. But those have been approved by the FDA as safe for human consumption. Besides the safety factors that seem to get left out…CO2 can kill you , butane can explode causing severe injury and even death. Those are not suggestible for your ā€œnormal forum userā€ that has never done it.
I will never use wax , shatter or the like because they use chemicals to make and takes away the high that is provided by nature. Plus if it’s not done right it would taste like &:$+ plus like you said it takes such a huge quantity it’s not worth it. Regular bud will last at least 5-10 times longer as well. Why throw away over half your bud? Dint make sense to me.
