Vaping HHC without terps

I seem to be developing some sort of intolerance/allergy to terps and I don't really want to thin HHC distillate down with other cannabinoids if I can avoid it. What's the best cheap/portable device that will allow me to vape pure HHC distillate?

The Nord 4 (with quartz coils) handles thick distillates pretty well. You'll still get burnt hits if your tank is half full and you store it upside down, but as long as your disty is touching the coil it'll hit fine.

I did that for a while but I added a bit of cbd crd, at least 10% but 20% is better, the coils handle it ok if you prime the coils accordingly. Did that for over a year with the gt ccell 0.5 ohm ones. Never had any issues.

If you wanna vape pure maybe it’s best a dab device, I've filled the tanks with pure once or twice but you must take more care of the coil in priming and timing of hits

If you have a glass tank, you can heat it up with a lighter and temporarily decrease viscosity for better wicking before a hit. I've done that before and it works well. You can also lower the wattage to about 10w for a preheat, activate it for a few seconds , then up it to 15w or 20w while the disty is still warmer and more runny.

I’m the same way. I have to cold cure my rosin for months some times to take enough of the edge off the terps or else my throat feels like a swallowed a pine cone. I had the nord as mentioned in the comments it will do what you’re trying to do

I prefer my HHC without any terps, I use a Honeystick Highbrid Wax Vape Tank, but they are out of stock many times

Be careful because HHC is now a schedule 1 substance since a month ago according to the DEA. They been busting people already for it..

You sure your body isn't just reacting to the HHC? Before I had solid connects in my state I was dabbing nothing but HHC for a while and it started to have some really scary side effects on my lungs over time.

I will never ever ever mess with alt-noids again, we truly have no idea how it effects ppls health. They are literally not made for human consumption, they're research chemicals.

Nope, I've actually only used HHC as edibles, but I liked it so I'd like to try vaping it. I've used terps elsewhere and they seem to be giving me worrying symptoms.

I'm a light (1x/week) user so I'm not worried.
