Extraction Stronger infused oil

[Gregothegreat]

I have 12 oz of sugar leaves and popcorn.I am in the process of infusing 1/2 the weed in oil in one jar. Then after 2 hr cooking drain that jar and transfer the now cooked oil into the fresh jar of herb for more infusion . Im hoping this will make a droolingle strong oil, I'm hung over today from testing the first run. I guess 2 tbsp is too much, the next faze should cause brain damage. Did I mention the trim has already gone for a spin to extract Kief, so I'm getting my use from it. I'll also use the last squeezins to mix with coco butter to make salves.

have you tried extracting your bud in alcohol and then evaporating down for the oil... iffin you want strong that is....

What do you seek to gain from 'stronger oil?" If you're eating it, what's the difference between say dosing 1 vs. 3 or more mL, grams, spoon-fulls, etc.?

Two tablespoons, about 29 mL or an ounce of concentrate that could be at >50% concentration(?), seems like a rather high dose. My familiarity with edibles is similar boiled-in-oil stuff added to brownie mixes, with 1 usual brownie in no way having anywhere near that much oil but doing the job well.

Not sure what the op is using it for but personally I do the extraction with alcohol and evaporate. Then I cut with the correct amount of carrier oil for dosing.

No matter how well you evaporate the alcohol (ethanol I hope) even in a vacuum some will remain. Doing an extraction in oil alone will not have those toxins. Of course you need clean oil free of contaminants as well. Where most people drop the ball is in Decarboxylating. I don't like the flavor of decarbed flower and it is hard to get it just right. It tastes toasted and not like the herb I started with. So I do an oil (coconut oil, butter or olive oil) extraction. I have a Magical Butter Machine II. Filter the oil in to a mason jar and decarb it for 20 minutes at 252°F in a hot oil bath. Take it out and let it cool. It will finish the decarb as it cools down. Now to improve the ability for your body to absorb the chemicals you want add a tsp. of sunflower lecithin. This will taste quite good if you started with good herb.

Enjoy.

Why u ask am I doing a 2x infusion is because I'm just using up my junk. It was all ready tumbled to extract the kief which I got about an 1oz of lower grade slightly green kief and I got several grams never measured hi grade melty kief tumbled for only 10 ish minets. As an experienced oil eater my tolerances have increased to the point where I don't get much of a hi from ingestion. But if I do enough for a good buzz the next day I'm hungover so much so that I have to have a morning toke to get me feeling a bit more gooder. I've made rso and loved the stuff I got so hi I could bearly walk , but I use
Iso for extraction ,leagle shine is too expensive, so it concerns me there could be residue left in there ill be injesting, thus my quest for strong oils. Usually I make my oil from left over last year's bud so I am familiar with using good quality bud for extraction, I'm just trying to use my junk and get every last spec of thc. Ifen u want a strong brew of oil try grinding your herb fine and leave it in the oil after infusing. I make 00 capsules and I made a brick pen into a big bore I dropper. I found in my early days of making oil I would use a quarter and take the spent herb and make a Browny with it, there was enough thc left in the herb to have 16 extra free buzzes something u would have throw an away. And I have experimented with infused sepositorys which would be another use for killer strong oil.

98% isopropyl and then vaped in a pax 3 that has concentrate ability.
very clean no decarb required no messing with oils etc.
If you so desire you can take the extract and add coconut oil as a carrier etc but Im not telling you anythin new.


Cheers NS

*edit that being said I have and still am considering the Levo.

I am financially challenged so tough would love a fancy all in one extractor I have to continue to rely on the hand made method. After my extraction I ended up with just over a litre of joy juice, infused oil. I like to pour into silicone muffen cup molds ther hold 2 oz which is very close to 60 capsuals, i then place in fridge to slow the degredation of active ingreadients. I'll have to cap some up and take a more controlled dose, usually 3 or 4, 00 caps if it gets me hung over the next day I know I'm on the right track. I added in to my brew cannabis roots so ill get hi and healthy to boot? I'll let u know if it causes brain damage or any other side affect.

The entire process can be done well by hand. The only tool you need is a good cooking thermometer. Be sure to add the Sunflower Lecithin ( I use organic) it will make your meds much more effective.

or coconut oil mayhaps?- bypassing most of the stomach has its bonuses as well
