After reading and re-reading this thread, I'm gonna take the jump and make some RSO. Some of it I want to use in my e-cig. But I was wondering about taking a maintenance dose daily ad infinitum.

I had breast cancer 2-1/2 years ago and went through the whole surgery, chemo and radiation thing. Had to do chemo for 1 year and 3 mos. It was hell and I never want to do it again. I'm not sure I have recovered from it yet or ever will. I had stage 3 cancer and it got into my lymph nodes, so there is always the worry it will come back to haunt me in some other organ/system. Do you think a maintenance dose daily would help in preventing this? I know it couldn't hurt, but is a maintenance dose (1 rice grain sized or more at night) enough to make a difference? I am also curious what other help it may provide me with my other medical problems. Just smoking has helped a lot with my back pain, depression, neuralgia, anxiety and IBS. I've been able to stop taking 2 narcotic pain relievers, my sleep aid and my anxiety medication (all of which were making me an addicted zombie) and my head is so much clearer. Just wanted to know a little more about maintenance dosing since I haven't seen it discussed much. Thanks always for your wisdom and help!
I think it would be very wise to take maintenance doses. I recommend two doses per day. Anywhere from a rice grain size up to a pea, depending on the potency/quality of the oil. I strongly recommend ingesting the oil for the maintenance dose. You can also vape it in your e-cigg, but don't count that as your maintenance dose.

In half of the cases, I have heard the oil has helped with many other issues. I cannot say that it has helped with all. It seems to be more effective with people that are accustomed to the buzz effects of marijuana in general. This is not always the case, but often.

I do not add flavors to my oil, but you can. Yes, it will only require a small amount. Just be sure to thin the oil for the e-cigg with PG USP. PG USP is also known for aiding in blending chemicals together so I would suspect that it may help with blending the flavor or your choice with the oil depending on if the flavor is oil or water soluble. In many cases PG USP with work with both.

I still have no interest in smoking any buds. I swear, I am being honest. You can look at my best bud pictures and all I see is crap or nice buds turned into oil. I only vape and eat the oil. When I vape concentrates, I perfer the PG USP to be added to it vs. vaping the pure concentrate.

So, good luck to you on your vaporizing adventure!

God bless
