How To Make Concentrates into Vape Juice - MassRoots

Do you like consuming shatter that was turned into e-liquid? If you’re vaping commercial e-liquids before but want to try your own preparation, you need to learn this step-by-step guide for beginners:

Shatter can be converted into e-juice and consumed in your own e-cigarette or vape. The preparation involves combining shatter with a diluent to make it more viscous so you can vape it easily.

What is Shatter?

Shatter is the product of extracting cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, the active ingredients in weeds. It can be extracted by running a solvent like propane, butane, and carbon dioxide.

The leftover resin forms a glassy sheet called shatter. It is compared to a glass that breaks and shatters when dropped. It costs about $60 to $70 in the market.

Shatter provides up to 80 percent cannabinoid content giving users a heavier hit. Other marijuana only has 5 to 18 percent cannabinoid. It is regarded as a potent butane hash oil (BHO).

What is E-Liquid?

E-liquid, also known as a vape juice, and e-juice are terms that are used to describe the compound used in vaping. In short, it is the liquid used in vaporizers to produce vapor.

It can be composed of vegetable glycerin (VG), propylene glycerin (PG), flavoring, water, nicotine or marijuana substance like when you turn shatter to ejuice.

When preparing your own e-liquid, you need to be aware of the PG/ VG content. Some e-liquid can contain all PG, all-VG, a combination of both.

All-PG produces a throat hit, thinner in consistency, gives less residue than VG, and has no impact on flavor. All-VG produces a bigger vapor, thicker than PG, provides more residue than PG, and is sweeter than PG.

Some users may be allergic to PG. If you experience hives, then you must only use VG as your base liquid for e-juice or increase the concentration of VG to PG.

The Process of Dabbing

Dabbing is heating BHO or CO2 oil through a special rig and then inhaling the vapor. Dabbing and smoking are two different things.

Dabbing is a flash-vaporization process that involves adding concentrate to a heated water pipe attachment. You can inhale the vapor that provides a powerful high.

Users enjoy dabbing shatter because it provides a clean flavor. They also prefer vapor than smoking which is a healthier option. The filtration process gets rid of fats and waxes that are toxic to your lungs.

Dabbing shatter provides a more lasting and potent high. It is even stronger than traditional marijuana.

Turning Shatter into E-Juice

Shatter can be turned into e-juice with the use of a heating element like a microwave.

You’ll need:

  • Empty glass dropper bottles
  • Latex gloves
  • Syringes
  • PG/ VG
  • Flavor/ herbs

How to Prepare:

First, you’ll extract the THC from the raw material. In this case, you need to extract THC from shatter through the process of dewaxing.

In dewaxing, you extract cannabis with butane at a controlled temperature. You can extract lipids from terpenes and cannabinoids in extreme cryogenic temperatures. You can check terpenes for sale.

Another process called winterizing removes lipid after extraction. You can purge shatter using a vacuum oven.

Follow the steps if you purchased a ready-made concentrate or prepared your own e-juice:

  • Flatten your shatter in a ceramic bowl and cover it with wax or parchment paper.
  • Melt the shatter. Place the bowl over warm water for several minutes. You can also use a microwave to melt it by setting it in a “defrost” mode.
  • Add drops of VP/ PG to the melted concentrate. The liquid should be completely blended.
  • Allow for the mixture to cool. The mixture should have a consistency of honey. You can add more PG/VG mix if you want it to become thinner.
  • Use a syringe to place the THC juice into your vape.

Using shatter for making e-juice should provide you with a more discreet way of consuming marijuana. Since it is a more potent form, it gives you a stronger hit than any other weeds.

Vaping provides less odor compared to smoking. Since there are no solid restrictions yet in the use of cannabis concentrates in many states, experts warn first-time users not to consume too much.

Vaping shatter can be harmful to beginners. Since it is a more concentrated form, you get the hit straight into your bloodstream and brain cells.
