The Entourage effect is what happens as all the cannabinoids work together to do better for the body then each one would do on its own.
Learn more on our Blog at Elev8 Presents on the Entourage effect.
At what temperature do you go from vaporizing to combustion?
This all depends on how dry or moist your herb is as well as what kind of herb you are talking about. In this industry, we mostly talk about cannabis. Cannabis combusts at about 450 degrees.
What is the benefit of smoking or vaping out of water
The water helps cool the hit to make is less harmful to your lungs. The water also moistens the smoke and vapor a little to also make the hit more smooth. Your lungs like warm moist air, not a hot dry air hit.
Does the coin in the grinder trick actually produce more kief?
Yes and no. No more kief is produced, but it helps push the kief through the screen. The more kief you get under the screen, the less kief is on your herbs.
Are cleaning solutions like resinate and formula 420 harmful to the environment if not disposed of properly?
Really this comes down to what the cleaning solution is made from. If a cleaner is disposed of as the label states it should be ok for the environment. Many times these cleaners are tested with the government to find the best way of disposal to reduce or eliminate any environmental damage.
Always dispose your cleaning agents as the directions tell you to.
How do you get clear glass or how do you make clear glass.
Glass is made from sand and heating it up so it turns to liquid. The sand starts to melt at about 1700 degrees. More minerals or chemicals are added to the glass to make it harder, softer, melt at a lower temperature or many other properties are found by adding more minerals and chemicals.
Making glass is very tough if you do not have the proper equipment and chemicals.

How do you color glass or get color in the glass?
Minerals are used to color glass. Many times he minerals and ratio of the minerals in the glass are considered a trade secret to the manufacturer of the colored glass. Here are a few examples of what minerals help the clear glass turn color.
Cobalt Oxide: blue-violet
Cadmium Sulfide: yellow
Gold Chloride: red
Antimony Oxide: white
Sulfur: yellow-amber
Uranium Oxide: fluorescent yellow, green
Chromic Oxide: emerald green
Note, when any mineral is added to the glass it does change it COE (coefficient of expansion). While the clear glass claims a COE of 33 the colored glass will also claim a COE 33. But this is not true that they are the same COE33. They are close but not the exact same.
How do you you find what out what millimeter your banger is for enail coils?
An enail is measured by the ID (inner diameter) of the coil. This coil ID will match the OD (outside diameter) of the banner that it works with.
How do you know what size enail you have and what size banger you have here with things around the house? We will attempt to help you with that here.
| Coil Size | Banger Size | Household Measuring Device |
| 14mm | 14mm | This can this find with a dime. It is about 14mm from the tip of FDR’s nose to the back edge of the dime. |
| 16mm | 16mm | This can be found as the inner ring of a dime. |
| 20mm | 20mm | This can be measured from just on the inside of a nickel. |
| 24mm | 24mm | A quarter is just a tiny hair larger than 24mm, so it is a good choice to use this for 24mm |
| 25mm | 25mm | A quarter will just fit into any 25mm space with just a little room on each side. |

Why is vaping a good idea?
Vaping can reduce the tars can carcinogens compared to vaping by up to 80%-90%. Also, with the elimination of combustion, no cannabinoids are destroyed so you can nearly double your amount of usable cannabinoids as combustion destroys up to 60% of the active ingredients.
This article is amazing and shows good signs that vaping is perceived to be much healthier than smoking.
Is it any less healthy to use a butane torch to light a bowl in a waterpipe.
Using a butane torch will heat the bowl faster making big hits. We believe in mass micro hits so the lungs can fully absorb the smoke or vapor.
Using a lighter or torch will destroy up to 60% of the active ingredients so if one moves to vaporize dry herbs they essentially double their ability to inhale the active ingredients.
Also, anyone looking for a healthier way should always consider a vaporizer as there are also 80%-90% fewer tars and carcinogens when vaping compared to smoking.
We also want to touch bioavailability as smoking is only about 30% while vaping is 50%-80%.
