So I was loading up a ceramic disc with some white xtals. I keep a separate stash of sizeable balls of goo just to keep them away from my xtals. Why? Personally, Ive always had a big issue when it came to attempting to vape any xtals with goo or just goo by itself, the feeling is one of absolutely horrific throat burn that lasts quite some time. I say it feels like swallowing glass while having strep throat.
So after I was done and about to put my supplies away, I got curious and placed a small ball of goo on the glass plate that I place under my ceramic disc. The goo was roughly a 4mm sphere. I wanted to see what it would do when heated up by the same torch I normally use, just to see if I could smell anything odd.
It was a relatively dark golden brown at first, once heated it thinned out into a lighter yellow color, then as the heating continued, the plate began to go rainbow...as in, what oil/gas looks like when it floats amongst water or when particular metals are heated. As it heated further, it vaporized a little bit (the room smells horrible now) and it got very dark.
Original tek used was Cybs hybrid salt tek; naphtha, lye pellets, vinegar, water. The only potential issues I can figure are that I used an HDPE container to measure out my naphtha and I used plastic eye droppers to transfer naphtha into my glass dishes. ( I use all glass now though :thumb_up: )
Images are attached of what I saw. Definitely contaminated, right? I wish I'd given the plate a good wash with just water before attempting this to rule out soap residue. But, I didnt plan on testing any goo. Thats the only variable here at this point. I can almost guarantee no soap residue though was on the plate.
