I do a lot of rosin and it has occurred to me that I may be wasting a lot.
I use a Longmada Motar Quartz vape for rosin. Basically a quartz cup with a heater.

I place a dab about the size of B-B (maybe a little bigger) in the cup. The first hit is all flavor. Amazing taste but a lot of it is the aPinene and bCaryophyllene that vape off at lower temperatures so it burns the throat just a tiny bit.
The next hit is less flavorful but very full bodied.
A third hit basically tastes like shit.
After that, I wipe the quartz bowl with a Q-tip and then clean it (every few hits) with an alcohol swap.
Now.... my question is this. When I am done with the 3rd hit and I wipe the bowl clean with a Q-tip, there is often quite a bit of liquid left in the bowl. Often enough to completely soak the white Q-tip to black. If I go a 4th and 5th hit to use it all, it tastes like shit and it cakes on the bottom of the bowl. Then, it needs to be scraped off the bowl and then alcohol wipe cleaned.
What is the 'ash' from rosin? Is it liquid? Should I be finishing this liquid or dumping it?
I generally prefer the taste of vaping flowers but I have been vaping more and more rosin lately and I am wondering if I am throwing most of it away.
Thanks
