If you're using cartridges then you are 100% consuming residual solvents or maybe not so residual. Yeah there are laws limiting residual solvents in certain States but it's really easy to get past that and a lot of bigger companies just pay hush money to the labs to make a fabricated lab result. So many chemicals in those fucking things. That's why they make you cough so much and make your throat and lungs hurt the next day. You're better off just smoking flower.
If you press your own rosin at home you would find that it is a lot more cleaner than butane wax or anything in a cartridge. My homemade rosin doesn't make my throat and lungs hurt the next day like all those vape cartridges.
And I know in Texas there are no laws regarding residual solvents inside of smoking products and Texas also has not even outlined what a residual solvent is or how much is allowed. Right now the Cannabis market is basically the wild wild West. If you are a licensed consumable hemp manufacturer in Texas you can put as much residual solvent in your final product as you want.
Now that I press my own rosin I vow never to use those nasty carts ever again. I won't go near them with a 10 foot pole.

What about live terpene? Because I don’t use CO2 because of that reason.

I'm in Canada and get ethanol extracted carts at 90% THC. I can get rosin carts too, may try those.

I prefer vaping 100% solvents, I consider cannabinoids to be the undesirable impurity in my carts.

Ive been on a cart kick this week. My carts dont hurt my throat or anything, and seems like the thing inside is ceramic and no longer metal. Anyways, it just makes my tolerance really high and flower no longer gets me very far until i abstain for a day or so.

I prefer smoking flower. I'm one of those older derps who got into cannabis with joints and hand pipes, and will probably continue inhaling carcinogenic combustion byproducts instead of vaporized residual solvents or whatever.
It's mostly because I'm scared of new technology. I don't want my vape pen hacking into my Gmail.

ANYTHING put into a damn cartridge is going to have CHEMICALS added in order to make it FLOW and to lessen the VISCOSITY. You cannot put raw cannabis extract into a vape cartridge because it doesn't flow and it's sticky as hell. You need to add a SOLVENT to lower the viscosity enough so that it is a liquid.
It doesn't matter if it's "Live resin" in the cartridge, live resin on its own is too viscous to put into a cartridge so a solvent is added to make it liquid.
You can DAB live resin or live whatever but when a manufacturer puts it into a cartridge, they HAVE to add chemicals to it, otherwise it would just sit as one big lump in the cartridge.

I still prefer a "mild" habanero salsa. Mild meaning still spicy but not overbearing.
The milder ones contain a surprising amount of heat, if you can cook them slowly without puncturing the skin!

You all would hate my cooking. I use fresh jalapeños on most everything, but they’re damn sure not spicy.

QFT. I vape. You will never get a full gram of dabs buying carts. You need PG/VG added to make it vape.
Edit: I'd vote for one of those cheap mini dabbers that looks like a disposable vape but it's just a little coil over ceramic or quartz that you put your dabs on over pre-made carts.

Sounds like my kinda chile con carne. Any chance you can share your recipe?
Jalapeños and serranos are my favorite chiles, particularly fresh red jalapeños or chiles toreado, but they have the heat of a bell pepper you find in the US to me, so I use super hot chiles to make things spicy even though that fruity flavor isn’t my favorite.
Quick and dirty version. You can fancy it up with whatever cuts of meat you like, prepare dry beans, etc. if you like but quick and dirty is pretty good, actually.
1 lb ground beef 1 lb ground pork Brown with garlic, salt, pepper. Drain some/all of the grease. Add splash of soy sauce, juice of 2 limes, 2 diced onions, 2 diced Anaheim peppers, 3 diced serrano w/seeds, 2 diced habanero w/seeds. Cover and cook down on medium/low heat until the onions and peppers give up their water. Add 2 cans diced tomato, 2 cans water, 1 small can tomato paste, 1 tablespoon molasses or dark brown sugar. Simmer for a few minutes and stir occasionally until color starts to turn. Blend 1/2 can each pinto beans, black beans, white beans into paste and add the paste. Reserve the rest of the beans. Simmer a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and add more lime, molasses and garlic, as necessary. Add the remaining beans and simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Heat up some tortillas while you wait.
Eat that shit.
The citrus and sugar cuts the heat quite a bit in the mouth but it won't save your butthole so beware of afterburn. If it's still too hot despite those measures eat it with some sour cream.

Nice, thanks! I love trying new chile recipes. It’s very different from mine so I’m definitely going to make a batch of yours.🙂

It said those thousands of chemicals were generated by the liquid being turned to vape, not that there was that many chemicals in the liquid before it's turned to vape. It was something about the act of heating it into vapor makes all these different substances. I don't understand how that works but that's what it said so you may put 5 ingredients together that still turn into a whole shitload of other things
