You could start your own co-op with that much.
Got 1 oz. that will probably last for years.
Might make a nice pillow.:laugh:

Not at all are you burning it, maybe you didn't wash enough after processing.? What did you clean with... I know I wouldn't put dish soap near it myself. I hate the taste left in a glass.

It might just be me getting sick, but my brother is felling the same way. I did the oxy soak for a day then boiled four times for a hour each. Think its just me but wanted to stop by here and ask others. Thank You

how did your hemp turn out? I have mine in oxi clean right now soaking and going to boil and HP and BS tomorrow. First batch is going to a bunch of friends.

Mine turned out great. 24hrs in oxy then 4 boils for a hour each. You can taste the hemp for about a mill but it goes ways fast. I use the russian91 and it wicks so much better than cotton you can really turn up the volts if you want to. I have not tried the HP or BS. How do you do that? Just soak it right? Same time or soke in HP then BS ?

soaking in a solution of bs/hp is not necessary if you soaked in oxiclean. that was given as an option for people who don't have oxiclean handy ;)

Yea the taste is really good now. Recoiled today and maby i did have the hemp a bit tight cause now i am getting more vapor than before. Also now i can hear the coil popping the juice so i know its good and wet. It sure does not take much hemp at all, I also got 2lbs of it....so maby about 4 years worth lol.

the properties of hemp a little bit different than cotton, needs to be a tad bit looser through the coil than cotton, because it swells up more. If to dense and compact it will swell up and choke off the juice supply, causing dry hits.

To each his own. I completely disagree with this.:) IMO Swelling does not choke. Too tight chokes but every lab test I did (many) swelling never reduced wicking (capillary action). I pack pretty tight and chain vape at over 15 watts and have never had dry hits. Remember the same with SS wick and I wrapped a tight wire around the wick and the video showed how the liquid climbed right thru the tight wrap. What hemp needs is time to really get soaked to wick at its best. About an hour.:)

okay so my dried batch i dried partially in the microwave then in the dryer with some clothes turned out like this. Still clumps. a dog brush?

Don't know why there is such a big deal about getting it fluffy again. We use such small amounts each time, it is easy just to fluff a little with your fingers. I personally just keep some in a small jar with VG and it is always fluffy wet.:) Those long stringy clumps I use to wrap tight around my vertical coils.
