Extraction Levo II Oil Infusion machine

[Simplicio]

I'd rather use an Ardent FX.
Decarb and infuse in the silicon sleeve and with less than a minute clean up.
It really easy. and a very valuable tool in using my canna to the fullest.
If you use dried buds to make butter or oil, it makes far less dark result than the Levo.

Agree.
Ardent FX decarb followed by infusion is very easy and effective.

But I still have a sneaking suspicion that stirring during infusion, like Magical Butter Machine does, could improve results.,

To check that out, I've tried small batches made with a magnetic stirrer hot plate, but that's difficult to control, and results have been less that hoped for.

Recently I found a smaller version of MBM, made by Ongrok, that can use a 150 mL minimum (0.63 Cup).
That means I can use 1 oz herb to make some strong oil.
I haven't tried that yet, but soon will.

Time/temp is also an issue.
MBM recommends 160 F for 1 hr.
BrassNwood's popular method on GrassCity effectively uses 220 F for 40 min.

I doubt very seriously if I'm losing any sort of efficiency in the infusion. Everything I have made has been extremely potent to where you have to be very cautious in it's use.
The biggest reason I say that is I rework my dry- ice shake material. Naturally the end product is a bit more green, and it is very very potent. I reuse the oil from one infusion for the oil in the next one.
So after making some nice quality hash, I get to make some meds for some edibles or coffee or whatever I want to do with it. And really it's like free. If I didn't have the Ardent it would be just fed to the worms.

I bought one of these and have only ran 1 batch of MCT oil so far. Very easy to use and minimal effort.

I got one as well haven't tried it yet. Did you make a single pod batch or double?

 

[TheFerret]

Since it was the 1st go round I wanted a test with 1 pod, got about 11.2 grams of some seedy double grape I had in it. I got the gummy kit and they recommend 3-4 tsp/tbsp per gummy mix if I recall correctly. I ate 4 and felt em okay but id def do a double pod batch next time to try it out.

With the MCT oil does it solidify when you put it in storage after like coconut oil will?

How many gummies did that make????
Using 11 Grams of weed......I'm hoping you got somewhere around 30 gummies??? Otherwise it doesn't seem worth it.

Mct oil is liquid at room temperature. I don't know the point it turns solid but I keep my homemade cbd mct tincture in the fridge.

Also, have you tried the dry function on the levo? Does this mean I can go from harvest process to right away dry in levo. without typical drying and curing the weed first?
