The second thing I want is to make liquid for my e-cigarettes. My e-liquid juice is made up of pop. glycol & vegetable glycerin. I refill my own cartridges. Do you think if I added some RSO to the bottle of the juice (without the nicotine) that I buy, it would work? I am assuming that's it's legal to make the oil for myself?
Thank you for all your information.
Yes, you can start eating or using the oil as soon as it is made. The buzz is kind of different, more comfortable and you can consume higher amounts. A basic maintenance dose is about the size of a grain of rice. A lot of that really depends upon how potent the oil is. It is difficult to properly advise unless I know the potency of the oil. A lower potency oil may require a small pea size dose. Super high potency oil may only require a half grain of rice size dose. Start off small and work up to what your body tells you is enough or too much.

No, I do not recommend mixing the RSO with e-cigg oil with no nicotine. The reason why is the e-cigg oil has vegetable glycerine in it, the other half is PG USP. You don't want the VG. It does not mix properly with RSO, there is no need for it. What you want to do is mix PG USP with the RSO. Many of the e-ciggarette shops sell PG USP. Some places call it Kosher Propylene Glycol USP, medical/food grade. Google search for a thread "My Experience With Portable Vaporizers (Pen Vaporizers) For Concentrated Cannabis Oil And E-Cigarette Oil" That may help answer more of your questions.

My all around favorite vaporizing rig is eGo C Twist 650 Variable Voltage pen battery for around $20 with a basic USB charger for about $5 - $10, and for a oil vaporizing attachment (clearomizer) I like the iClear16 the best, less than $10. The iClear16 is rebuildable, you can just simply screw a new heating element into it easy. You can also use the iClear30 element in the iClear16 unit. Not sure which I like better yet.
