Vaping Sticky Concentrates

Hey all,

so I've jumped down the rabbit hole of concentrates and have been liking what I've been tasting so far. One thing that I'm having a hard time with is the concentrates that are thick and oily (Rosin, HCFSE Terp Diamonds, HTFSE caviar, etc). How in the holy hell do you get this crap in your vapes? I've been doing the old method (from the days of hash oil) and just heating up the dab tool slightly to get the stuff to drip into the vape (probably not great as I'm losing terps doing this). So just wondering how other use this stuff effectively with portal vapes as opposed to dab rigs? I end up caking a rolling paper in the left overs as there is typically enough to coat a half paper or so.

Hoping to find better ways of putting this in my vape. Glad the Saionara is easy to clean - haha!

Cheers.

Yeah it can be a challenge. The dab tool I use has a scoop at one end and I just grab the goo with the backside of it, this way I can smear it near the bottom of my bucket. There's always a bit left on the tool but I just leave it there for next time.

There are electric dab tools with a heated tip for this, but its a luxury.

Note also that HCE and some live resin are more solid and are much easier to work with.

Thanks, haven't tried using the under side of the scoop, will try this next time. For the more solid ones, do you just one tool or use 2 to get it off the end and into your bucket?

I'm using a Saionara TAL as well. I find that stuff doesn't melt/burn/vape when it's on the 'walls' of the atomizer. I was thinking that was the best way as well, just scrap the stuff off on the sides, but seems it doesn't vape everything? I'm using Artic Fox and have flashed some settings I found on the Saionara reddit group (using the provided 3 coil bucket that comes with it and using the preset that was flashed). Overall I'm getting big clouds, just find it seems it waste a bit.

I use the same tool for everything. I just spread the stuff as deep as I can in the bucket and I haven't really had issues with stuff sticking.. The heat makes it all puddle at the bottom quick.
