Was thinking of using BadKat's method. Grinding up ABV really fine and mixing it with coconut oil and heating. Anything think this would be a waste?

If I were to extract oil from my ABV using everclear, for the purpose of edibles, is water curing still recommended to clean up the taste/gas?

Why do you mix with coconut oil? Abv capsules work better with it?

Coconut oil has a lot of the fats that cannabinoids really like to bind to, moreso than butter and oils. If you can get it, add a little bit of soy lethicin to help emulsify and to help raise bioavailability of cannabinoids. My next cannabis capsule method will be with ABV oil, coconut oil, and soy lethicin. I expect that working with oil instead of plant matter will be much easier, as well as simpler to make the capsules more potent.

How do you plan on making the Abv oil?

A quick wash or do you let it sit? Sorry if this is not the right thread for this but I've wanted to try this for a while

I'll let this stuff sit for a bit. Quick washes are more for when you work with fresh material, where the point is to dissolve the trichomes while minimizing the absorption of water-solubles.

And do you let it evap on its own or do you have a special technique?

Cheesecloth to cover my Pyrex dish, and a fan at a distance blowing in an open well-ventilated environment. I'm not sure how much I want to play with refining the oil, a complete purge is obvious/necessary for edibles but I'm not sure if it's worth trying winterization (remixing with alcohol and freezing the fats). It'll set me back a day or so at least.

May as well detail the rest, I'm not sure how much oil I will pull as I haven't even weighed my container, but hopefully I can use an equal amount of coconut oil to infuse, add a little bit of soy lethicin. Mix until completely even, maybe add a little bit more coconut oil to thin it out. This will go into some caps while warm and then into the fridge. I'll be using a 3ml syringe to dispense even doses into the caplets, not sure what size I'll get. I'm going to stop by a store or two tomorrow and look at sizes. I'm hoping to find something big enough so that I don't need many caps, and not so big it sucks to swallow. Might give it a shot this weekend.

i made the coconut oil and at room temperature filled the capsules. left them at room temp for about 24 then realized that the capsules were warping and liquifying.. should i be refrigerating right after filling? i used vegetarian capsules. should i try gelatine based product? anybody else have this issue?

I don't want to use a solvent but I'm dry and have a shit-ton of abv on hand. I ordered a 000 filler and some capsules. So I'm thinking of a couple of methods.

Soak/rinse my abv, let it dry out then grind fine and cap it up.

Soak/rinse my abv, let it dry and then re-moisten it with coconut oil and a bit of lecithin and cap it up.

Some other combination of the above, with or without the soak/rinse.

What if I just grind it up, put it in capsules, then make sure I eat a spoonful of peanut butter before I take the capsules? This would be easiest technique by far, but the soak/rinse really combats unwanted gas?
 
I am interested in making capsules with ABV but I am unsure of the dosages. Last time I made butter with my ABV and I had an awful time. I was so drowsy and felt very out of control of my surroundings. My ABV was also very dark so I assumed that I already extracted most of the THC.

Any Suggestions?? :uhoh:

Dosing can vary wildly from one person to the next. For example, some people can eat a fraction of a gram of ABV and have an intense experience. Others like myself can eat 2+ grams and get fairly mild effects. Any idea what kind if dose you took last time?

Make it as strong as you can, then only dose what's necessary to get you where you need to be.

I actually have no clue :/ I guess I'll go by feel. Regardless it'll be fun finding out ;)

Haha I think I'll do the opposite and make it (what I assume) to be be weak and just eat more if needed. I'll just keep track to know for next time.

What dose should i take as a test? I will buy tomorrow a pack of 00 capsules, but after reading some bad experiences i believe taking 4 capsules as a first try would be all right?
