I<\/span>t\u2019s that time of year again, which is to say, roughly the same time as last year \u2014\u00a0but never exactly the same time<\/a> \u2014\u00a0because it\u2019s Hanukkah\u2026\u00a0right? Yes! As a genuine Jewish person with access to a lunar calendar, I can assure you that tonight is indeed the first night of the \u201cfestival of lights.\u201d<\/p>\n Hanukkah commemorates the military victory of warrior priest Judah \u201cThe Hammer\u201d Maccabee\u2019s guerrilla army over the numerically superior forces of the Seleucid Empire and the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem. It\u2019s kind of a long story, but here\u2019s the gist: A Syrian king tried to outlaw Jewish worship and claim the Temple \u2014 the nucleus of ancient Jewish culture and law \u2014\u00a0for Hellenistic rituals.<\/p>\n It didn\u2019t work out<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the end, the victorious Maccabee rebels regained control of the Holy Temple, which contained the menorah, a ceremonial oil lamp that needed to be lit to rededicate the temple for worship. Left with only enough oil to light the sacred lamp of the Holy Temple for one night, the Maccabees fired up the lamp anyway and it stayed lit \u2014\u00a0for eight days and nights.<\/p>\n Now, if you have enough oil, staying lit for eight days is just a matter of persistence and scheduling. But what if you only have one gram of oil? For me, making one gram of oil last eight days would be nothing short of miraculous. Frankly, I don\u2019t recommend doing this on purpose, but if circumstances require you to be especially economical with your oil, here\u2019s a few tricks \u2014\u00a0eight of them, because Hanukkah:<\/p>\n Experiment with microdosing \u2014\u00a0it\u2019s so hot right now<\/a> anyway. This isn\u2019t exactly advanced calculus here; if you take smaller dabs you\u2019ll use less, which should help stretch out your stash. The nice thing about smaller dabs is they often provide a more accurate and balanced expression of the flavor profile than a huge glob.<\/p>\n Alternately, you can take larger dabs and get the heavy lifting out of the way when it comes to the desired impacts. I mean, if your goal is to get lit every day for eight days you could just portion your gram into eight 1\/8-gram globs and take one every day. This method works best if combined with methods #3 and #6 \u2014 and all of these work best if you follow method #5.<\/p>\n This is just my pet theory, but I\u2019m convinced the volume of vapor you pull from a dab has more to do with surface area than weight. Hear me out. Based on my extensive personal research, if you take a quarter gram of shatter and roll it up into a ball, it will produce less vapor when dropped on the nail than the same quarter gram pressed out into a thin strip and laid across a larger section of the heating element. This sounds weird, but in my experience it works and the pressing will generally improve the clarity of your shatter.<\/p>\n All you need to do is take some shatter, warm it gently and roll or press it out through a silicone mat or wax paper: I like to sandwich the shatter between two small non-stick mats and use a lighter and\/or my hands to heat it slightly, then I use a lip balm tube or a lighter to press it out. This also makes it easier to take a \u201cbigger\u201d dab while using less product.<\/p>\n Assuming you\u2019re taking proper low-temp dabs (because the alternative is dumb and dangerous<\/a>), you should usually end up with at least a small amount of liquefied oil in your banger. Generally this would probably end up soaked into the ends of a q-tip<\/a>, but if you\u2019re looking to stretch your stash, you might consider running the torch under the nail for a few seconds, just until you see any activity in the oil, then recap and hit it again. The flavor profile will likely be diminished slightly, but there are still cannabinoids in there, and if you\u2019re so inclined, you can get them.<\/p>\n This is actually the easiest way to stretch your oil out as far as possible. It\u2019s pretty hard to justify taking baby dabs of bland soup, but then again, it\u2019s even harder to justify taking big ones \u2014\u00a0just don\u2019t dab bland soup. It\u2019s not worth the money you save, because you just end up buying more. It\u2019s like buying one-ply toilet paper at the dollar store; sure you save money, but the poor quality always gets you in the end. And anyway, it\u2019s a celebration! You don\u2019t have to buy the $100-a-gram stuff, but get something tasty and potent<\/a> \u2014\u00a0think of it as a present to yourself.<\/p>\n You should really be doing this anyway, but if you\u2019re one of those \u201cno pre-run\u201d people who doesn\u2019t smoke flowers anymore, you should really reconsider. Sure, there\u2019s no substitution for a great dab, but the full spectrum benefits of an old fashioned joint or bong bowl provide a fantastic compliment to the more refined effects and flavors of your oil.<\/p>\n The upside is you\u2019ll have more dabs. The downside is you\u2019ll be dabbing homemade rosin. Your call.<\/p>\n It can\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n TELL US, <\/strong>how do you make your cannabis concentrates last longer?<\/p>\n The post How to Make One Gram of Oil Last 8 Lit Days<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
