Extraction Computer Controlled Hot Plate for Decarb Rosin, QWET etc.

[WildBill]

Have you considered a Volcano for vaporizing for the lung harm reduction, or CBD (or THC/CBD) balms for the pain? I love my Volcano, also have lung issues I need to manage. We've had a lot of relief from a scrub on balm/bar that's camphor and 1:1 CBD for my back issues (it saved a ski trip last year) and her back and hip issues.

I'm sure you've considered both, but if not, can't recommend either enough. Then again, a good edible/RSO never hurts either. Good luck! Let us know how the edibles work out for you guys.

Thanks for your reply.
I've been vaping with my HerbalAire. Both of us have nerve pain. His nerve pain come from surgery that was performed on him, needlessly in my opinion. Inflammation doesn't come into play with his pain. My pain is from multiple points of spinal injuries, most occurred at one indecent. Inflammation does come into play and it's a different pain on top and contributing to the nerve pain.
If I can find a consistent method of extraction and methods of making edibles, the edibles can be the main method of pain relief and vaping/smoking fill in as needed with micro doses.
For my pain, I may also test run a couple CBD strains and make a tincture from that. I'd like to get off the anti-inflammatory drug I take. Maybe the CBD can help keep me in a better mental state too.

IMPO you cannot get a more consistent method of home extraction than pressing rosin. The average gram is ~700mg of actives. That means if your strain is a 1:1 a gram of its rosin will have about 350mg THC and 350 mg CBD of course the other actives like CBN, etc. will subtract from the 700 but it is close enough to look at the big two.

Then it is easy to decarb on a hot plate like what this thread is about. It can then be incorporated into many different edibles. From there it is just a matter of doing the math to get a good idea of the dose of each unit.

It is the only home method that you can get a reasonably accurate dose without sending to a lab. I sent a single piece of my chocolate to the lab to verify my results and I was very close to what I calculated at home. I made a 2g rosin chocolate bar and divided it into 25 pieces. My home math said 700*2 = 1400/25 = 56mg of actives per piece. The lab verified at 52mg.

Great info man!
Now what would be better? Just just use the hash from dry ice or ice water(naturally after proper drying with the ice water hash) and decarb that and infuse in the oil/butter of choice or take that hash and squish it? If you know you're just gonna make edibles, just using the hash directly in the infusion and decarb would be the easiest and cheapest to do. Squishing the hash would give you more flexibility in utilizing that product in different means of consumption. Would the resulting edibles exhib the same level of consistency and potency?
It's down the line, but a press is definatly in my canna future.

Full melt hash would actually be higher mg of actives per gram than rosin probably around 850mg to 900mg per gram. Maybe even higher depending on the quality (micron) of the hash. Mix one gram of the hash with one gram of cocao butter or coconut oil and decarb on the hot plate. Then use in your edibles.

Thanks man! Woops! Did you mean a one for one ratio?

It really does not matter the ratio. I just use little 10ml beakers on the hot plate under a coffee cup like in a little oven. 2g of rosin and 2g of cocoa butter fits nicely without overflowing during the decarb.

One more question: What is the burning temp of cocoa butter?
I just can't find a straight answer. Searches seem to always reference chocolate temps.

Thanks man!
I've never used it ever in cooking or anything.
