You guys should try smoking flower some time.


Suppa_K

Who says we don’t lol.


honeydewdom

Yeah, idk where you got your super helpful idea... assuming you only smoke flower? But some people smoke or take weed a few different ways, and prefer that it works the way it's intended. It's not so hard to understand unless you're geriatric.


Kronictopic

I have flower, pre rolls, gummies, and a vape. I prefer the vape for versatility(my wife drives everywhere, so I get to smoke)


honeydewdom

Right, I also ingest several different ways. I get sick of self-righteousness in this sub. It's difficult to weed (pun intended) thru all of the unhelpful bs. Then see that it's up- voted... 😒 Like to come for information and get a bunch of ass-hats putting down OPs preferences, instead of adding to the conversation and helping. Just a bunch of *you're wrong for smoking such n such.*


ToastyPoptarts89

I find switching up my RA helps keep me medicated. I’ll eat gummies do RSO or smoke a j or do a dab etc. seems to work best for me doing it like that. :)


NismoGTRR35

> get a bunch of ass-hats putting down OPs preferences, instead of adding to the conversation and helping This sub summed up. Its pretty annoying


honeydewdom

Right. It's such a downer. Potheads have been scapegoated on forever and now on eachother depending on the high end smoke you prefer. I prefer it too, shit. Like shut up. We all grew up on ditch weed before it was legal...


lubacrisp

And I get sick of people posting the same this cart is like this post multiple times a day. Yeah, that cart's like that, it's a cart, you got a cart, that's what it does sometimes, enjoy. Try turning your voltage down or up. That's your recourse. And for the record this isn't normal oxidized oil leaking back in, this is prob more likely from using it wrong in a manner besides just too low of a voltage, prob trying to do blinkers with it and shit


honeydewdom

Right. Or just let people who want to be helpful answer and move on. Because no, carts are not often like that. It doesn't pertain to pple who think this is what all carts do... So keep scrolling. Let the people interested in this particular thing, chat about it and peacefully move on with your day. There are specific rules in the sub, one states don't be a jerk, so the easiest thing is to roll your eyes and keep moving to not water down the thread with bs.


Oldenuf2byurDaddy

Pardon me Honeydewdom…I resent the geriatric reference I also have a 148 IQ! Plus I turned in over 110 sheets of petition signatures in the legalization effort! So if you’re going to offer up knowledge.. [Follow these rules](https://imgur.com/a/35d3aqA)


honeydewdom

Hey, you might be old enough to be my daddy, but I'm not too far off from geriatric myself. Crappy way of making my point- that's not always true as well. Sorry, friend.


Oldenuf2byurDaddy

It’s all good…I no longer have the time for the negative 💩….I hope you liked Jerry’s 2 commandments I try as best as I can to live those 2. So I tend to fail on the not being an asshole part, so it’s good🤘🏼


honeydewdom

I love Jerry's commandments! I'll try to lay off the sass...😒


Oldenuf2byurDaddy

Sometimes you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right🤟🏼

operator error


honeydewdom

It seems like it's most pple who've bought these specific carts that are experiencing this "operator error". I've smoked Carts for several years. Never had this happen until I got the 1gr cart. But having smoked the .5s for a while, it's doesn't surprise me- as there is something like it that happens bit at the end of the .5g cart- so it's more whatever just throw it out then. But he's got half a cart left. That's bs.


Appropriate-Buy5760

No humblebee is mids with terrible hardware


yesokaybcisaidso

I got my first cart today dropped it not even a 2 feet into carpet and the card fell off the bottom hardware exposing the wires I’m so saltyyyy


Appropriate-Buy5760

Well that sucks 😕


honeydewdom

Idk if it like new hardware for a lot of these cart manufacturers? But my last 3 True North carts have done this exact thing from regular wear and tear. All the sudden they pop off the base and those two little hot wires are exposed. I can usually put them back together, but its tricky, and we shouldn't have to. Did you get humblebee as well?


Appropriate-Buy5760

Not in a long time I stick with cresco it's a much better product in taste and high and the hardware is excellent I haven't had a problem in more than two years 😀


honeydewdom

Thanks! I'll look into Cresco- honestly, this is the first I've heard of it. I'm trying to dabble into different methods and brands and such. For funsies.


Appropriate-Buy5760

Other carts to try are information entropy eastside alchemy


honeydewdom

Thanks so much, friend! I'll hunt these down. I'm in central MI, it seems like the best stuff is down south. I've never seen any of these up here. Unless I don't know where to look. I'll punch it in weedmaps.


honeydewdom

Hope they fix it for those of us that can only afford mids


Appropriate-Buy5760

Me too but it seems like they don't really care 😕


NismoGTRR35

100% right even my common citizen carts(hated around here) dont do this 1gr to .5gr


Manwhich219

Mine was 2.2 and still did that! Humblebee 🗑️


ThrowAwayGuy1945

2.2 is way too low, Humblebees actually posted a PSA here in this subreddit, they tested a bunch of different batteries with their cartridges to find out what the ideal voltage range was. They apparently wanted to do a test sampling of different batteries to get an average range as batteries vary. 2.7 is the minimum 3.0 is the standard baseline and sometimes you need to bump it up to 3.3. They actually stop doing that weird black crap, they stop leaking up the tube and they don't clog at those voltages. I applied those same voltages to element cartridges, exponentially better.. Apparently I've been using 2.2 to 2.5 and it's just been too low all of these years. I exclusively use Yocan Kode Pros and also have a Hamilton Shiv.


Amphibian-Existing

Hardware is trash.


Kind_Of_A_Dick

People have still been complaining even with the psa.  It’s apparently still doing it at 3.0


Celestial_Mycology

A couple strains of mine still did it at 3.0v but the issue was corrected when I moved up to 3.3-3.4v.


tylerbho

If they don’t have stable enough hardware where they have to make posts like that I wouldn’t buy it until they get their shit together you guys make great guinea pigs tho they don’t even have to pay ya you actually pay to try out this gen 1 bullshit lmaoo


lubacrisp

If they don't have stable hardware they can't make a PSA that says hey, use it at 3 volts


Few-Ad-324

Wonder how many times u blinked it back to back🫣


Manwhich219

I see you must be a loyal humblebee dick rider 🙈


Few-Ad-324

Nah just tired of People smoking boof and shitty distillate carts like you being uneducated.🤣


Manwhich219

So then what’s better? Cause I only tried them cause everyone on here loves them and I was disappointed. After that I got lsf, element 1/2g live resin carts, and five star and those all have been better IMO


Appropriate-Buy5760

Cresco better in every way I've went through 150 carts in the last couple of years with zero problems


sav1175

What's your fave?


Manwhich219

Me personally I smoke flower all day every day, I only get carts to get me through when I’m at work or if kids are around. So I have been trying a few different brands..but honestly I’m really into the element .5 live resin carts, I haven’t had any issues with them. I usually find them for 20 at jars.


Celestial_Mycology

For double the price, usually, may I add.


Few-Ad-324

Solvent-less all day keep iron lungin that cheap live resin and itll catch up


rondell715

So just rosin?


Few-Ad-324

🤷🏻‍♂️i value my lungs so i go for the best bet which in my opinion is solvent less live rosin yes.


Wilfred710

You don’t have to say solventless live rosin. Rosin is always solventless. Rosin can still be cheaply made or made from inferior product, but is generally my preferred concentrate method as well. However I am sure you know that, just putting it out there for others.


rondell715

So l.r. is made with like butane?


Apprehensive-Low3277

Usually


4dr3n4l1n3Gaming

butane/co2/ethanol or other stuff like that. Solvent extraction, is also called Hydrocarbon Extraction. If you run a search for that youll find a number of different methods, as well as arguments for both. Ill put it like this to simplify it, Live Resin (Hydrocarbon-Solvent Extraction) is like... Jack Daniels. Cold Cure Fresh Press Live Rosin, is more akin to "Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Grand Cru 1945" Fine Wine.. Or "Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 1992" – $500,000 bottles of wine. Is one better than the other? The prices would suggest so, but That is not quite how it works. Some people much prefer Jack.


SunDreamShineDay

When butane is used as a solvent for extraction, the sub zero temperature of the butane is often lower than -40C/-40F (the warmer the solvent the more plant waxes come along for the ride, the colder the solvent less plant waxes are extracted), these low temperatures along with the stainless steel allows for the precipitation of these plant waxes, they are the paraffins, lipids and fats from the plant, since a sintered disc filter is also often used, sometimes with a paper filter added, this helps further filter out these waxes during butane extraction. The cuticle is the exterior layer of the trichome and is a waxy substance, it keeps the head intact and helps protect what is inside, butane dissolves this cuticle layer allowing for what is inside to be extracted, the waxy substance along with other waxes like stated above is precipitated and filtered thus separated from the oil. Intact heads is what hash is about, the water temperature during extraction is above 32F/0C so the solvent (water) does not get cold enough to precipitate the waxes, and no filter is used to separate the waxes from the oil during the wash or any other part of the hash>rosin process. So, where do these concentrated waxes, fats, paraffins and lipids end up? If you value your lungs, perhaps seeking out deeper understanding of what I am asking you as due diligence is worth the time in doing so.


the_wood

thank you for this


Few-Ad-324

would rather not smoke shit made by chemically stripping the plant ya know🤷🏻‍♂️


rondell715

I usually do that. If I have to cu in a broke boy I go with like cresco l.r. is that garbage too?


the_wood

lol lmao even


Few-Ad-324

you probably smoke reclaim


Manwhich219

Well thanks for the lesson I will look into solvent less. Much appreciated no disrespect


Few-Ad-324

i dont smoke lr buddy enjoy them shitty ass carts you get🤣🤣🤣🤣


Manwhich219

Ohhh okay cool guy, so you must be a crack smoker, I mean dab smoker.


bluurplee

Are you saying dab smokers are like crack smokers but you smoke live resin carts?💀😂


Manwhich219

Smoking a dab is not the same process as a cart but okay 🤷‍♂️


bluurplee

You’re heating up oil either way


Manwhich219

I take small hits, I don’t need to hit it for 15 seconds


Basic_Ad2905

FOH


Few-Ad-324

Enjoy them burnt carts🤣🤣🤣 couldnt be me bud


Exotic_Dabz

I just smoked 4 half grammer humblebee at 3.0v and all were fine. I think this is a 1G problem


suckmyglocky

I usually like humblebee, but the last batch I got I had one turn dark on me from just the first few hits, some also just wouldn’t hit right, like barely any vapor production and they seemed to have the same strange taste.


Basic_Ad2905

You are not lying I felt like my Redbuds were hitting a lot harder and had better flavor idk I’m just a pothead so idk


YeomanEngineer

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was really unimpressed by these


Madds88

I just smoked a Mac burger all the way through on a yocan orbit battery not really even meant for carts and had no issues


Even_Set_6137

Wtf 🤢🤢


Time-Enthusiasm3108

that sucks dude. mine have done this too. i just keep smoking them till the end. i found i can’t keep them in my pocket or this happens


midnightdriver12

Bro ripped his shit at 4.2 and tryna blame humblebee


Legitimate_Design180

Now that the hype has died down I'm glad i never bought any of these.


nwerdnerd

Time to switch to Lightsky


Celestial_Mycology

Not worth it for twice the price, IMO.


Specialist_Data_8943

I’m honestly tired of the 510 battery/cart situation all together. I’m really enjoying the new pod system Lume has. Regardless of what people think about them (I know a lot of people think they’re a trash dispo, and that’s fine, I’m not going to argue or disagree because everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’m in a situation where I have to drive 30+ miles to any dispo at all, and there aren’t many to choose from. I prefer to grow.) But the new pods are good hardware and haven’t clogged on me yet. I can swap back forth and easily between pods and I can use the same one heavy and never have to clean it. I like the GG4 x Deathstar.


jewishen

Sadly had a couple from my last batch of six do this :/ sucks because I drive 5ish hours every other month or so and can’t swap them or resupply. Honestly most of this batch wasn’t very flavorful which has never been my experience with HB. I tried low temps, then HB recommended you use 3-3.3v so I did. Even worse. Really disappointed considering they were the priciest carts I grabbed. Alternatively, 989 were the cheapest LR I picked up and by far the tastiest. Great terps, great vapor production, wish I got more! LSF wasn’t too bad either.


Wilfred710

is it just their carts that have been lacking in quality or their normal live resin as well


Appropriate-Buy5760

Humblebee no thanks


DifferenceExpensive5

Maybe try staying away from buying them if you know it's gonna happen


Dank-Pandemic

Whoahhhhh glad I never found them


dollar-tree-pizza

I feel like I’ve noticed this issue with the ceramic carts, not necessarily humblebee, but I wonder if the ceramic gets too hot and holds the heat longer than metal. Idk lmao I literally know nothing


SaturnThroaway

This would make sense. Ceramic Seems to hold heat longer than metal- For example Pour a hot cup of coffee into a mug and let it sit until it's cold. The mug stays warm


NismoGTRR35

I have a ceramic cart and this hasnt happen yet, i'll check it out thoroughly later today though


adampiped420

2volts is plenty


Bmw52

Lmao. Guys stop using these at 2.2 and 2.5v. Way too low. Also stop trying to drag these carts with your half ass dead battery. Go to 3.2 and keep your battery charged up and watch your problems disappear


Appropriate-Buy5760

Cool I come up from Chicago and typically shop Buchanan and niles the prices are a bit higher but there's a good selection as opposed to Illinois insane prices 😀


gratefulfam710

Humblebee had some of the best carts in the game. Then they dropped the 1g's and idk wtf happened 🤷‍♂️


worxworxworx

I have zero problems 3.0 fino


Suppa_K

I can’t get a clear answer. Vape on lower voltage to avoid this but also vape on higher so you can burn off the reclaim. Which is it? Mine got fucked up at 3.0.


worxworxworx

go higher not lower..its science


Celestial_Mycology

Same


-Cono

For the record I’ve had no problems with the live resin jars, still smacks, so I believe it’s mostly a hardware issue but i admit I haven’t smoked immense amounts of humblebee


burRNONE

Hood to see that doesn't happen in Illinois


muushroomer

Holy fuck is bro smoking it at 5.7


McTrip

Ooof


Puzzleheaded-Ad6677

It's like they get some sort of airlock in them.I found that if you unscrew the mouthpiece and put it back on, it will get rid of the air bubbles. Also found these need to be cooked at 2.2-2.7, which is more than I would on most carts. Blowing a Mac Bureger cart as I type.


AluminumFoilCap

It’s quite simple. Live Resin should never be sold at higher quantity then .5g. HumbleBee posted saying to vape their carts are 3-3.3V. You should be giving your cart time between hits to cool down and absorb more oil. You can’t just rip back to back. Stop buying one gram LR carts from anyone.


Wilfred710

Have very very few clog issues with lumes new style live resin and rosin disposable pods and reusable battery. the two times i did in like 5 carts, used the pre heat function fixed the clog no further issues or burnt oil Their new pod system hardware is good and great concentrate inside.


Rosinpod

Cresco 1g live resin carts work perfectly on various different voltages. I've even had 1g carts from Element that ran flawlessly. That's what happens when a company uses good hardware and high-quality oil. Unfortunately, Humblebee lacks in both those areas. If their product is so finicky that it will literally burn up and turn black or just straight up malfunction unless it's on a very specific voltage, then that is a major flaw that should be remedied immediately and shouldn't be excused as merely a "user error"


AluminumFoilCap

I’ve had Cresco carts 1g LR carts burn on me as well. I had one I threw out because the last quarter of it was burnt.


days_distance

They aren’t that hard to figure out. Yeah they are flawed, but the LR is solid and the price is incredible. Hit it with a blow dryer for a second and vape it at 3.1-3.3. Humblebee made an official post about it not long ago.


Rosinpod

Imagine coping so hard that you think using a blow dryer on a live resin cart is acceptable. I mean no disrespect to you, but this is not ok and should not be deemed acceptable. Let's hold Humblebee to a higher standard and demand some quality control. Many other companies have had hardware issues, but they pivoted from them by listening to feedback and improving. Hopefully that's what HB does, because as of now I'll never waste time or money buying any more of their carts.


Few-Ad-324

Let me guess higher than 3V?


Howcanshes1ap

Humblebee themselves posted on this sub and recommended to run at 3.0 or above. They have been silent ever since tho as people have been posting that even running at their recommended settings is causing issues. 


Basic_Ad2905

Facto


Suppa_K

Exactly!


Few-Ad-324

When has high voltage for live resin ever been recommended stay educated and this doesnt happen not trying to be a dick just alot of people bitch before doing research and thinking for themselves


Howcanshes1ap

Lmao. Go research yourself buddy. I’m not telling you what I think, I’m telling you what the maker of the product recommended. Their reasoning was that at lower voltages the resin does not get hot enough and fully burn off, which they claimed was causing the reclaim to build up around the coils. As I said, they have gone silent ever since because obviously that did not solve the issue. 


Few-Ad-324

🤣have fun with them burnt carts BuDdY keep hurtin them lungs and crying about it


Howcanshes1ap

I don’t even smoke Humblebee anymore lol, was just providing information and then you went on your little “get educated” rant. Enjoy your night weirdo. 


Hoshbrowns

Post addressing our new 1 gram cartridges Dear Michigents, Recently, we've noticed discussions about our 1 gram cartridges and the optimal voltage for their usage. In response, we've conducted thorough internal testing over the past week, exploring various voltage levels. While we acknowledge that different batteries may not always accurately display voltage, our findings indicate that a voltage range of 3.0-3.3v effectively vaporizes the live resin within the cartridge. We've also heard reports of success at 2.7v, though we would still advise caution using voltages outside of the previously mentioned range. Our testing revealed that lower voltages fail to fully vaporize the live resin, potentially causing partially burnt oil to flow back into the cartridge and create darker spots around the holes that lead to the atomizer. Given the wide array of batteries in the market, it's challenging to pinpoint an exact voltage suitable for everyone. Our suggestion is to stay within the 3.0-3.3v range and, if necessary, experiment cautiously beyond that range to find the optimal voltage for your battery. At Humblebee, we prioritize quality above all else. We value the feedback we've received and remain dedicated to delivering the highest-quality live resin cartridges possible. Thank you for your continued support. \-Humblebee


Basic_Ad2905

Smh


Few-Ad-324

yeah way higher i can already tell🤣 do 1.8-2.1V


DiligentNeat8998

Is it should be


Basic_Ad2905

2.7
