What do I do with all this ABV?

Hey guys,

I know this has been asked before, but I'm currently asking again:

I have a massive buildup of ABV - I haven't weighed it, but it's a year or 2s worth of buildup for me, so I can only assume it's a couple of hundred grams...

It's all been vaped pretty hard, mostly through my solo and LSV, but there's be some ABV from all my different vapes in there.

Here is a pic of my ABV stash jar next to my solo for reference:

My main aim here is extracting the most remaining actives possible...

The only options I can really see available to me are:
1 - make some kind of concentrate - QWISO, BHO or similar.
2 - make some kind of fat extraction - canna butter, canna coconut oil or similar, and make some kind of edible.

So uhhh, yeah, any tips for dealing with this large a batch of ABV would be appreciated - if I could make it into some kind of dabbable concentrate it'd be ideal, but I've only been able to produce black goop QWISO from ABV in the past, and I can only imagine how many loads it would take me in my SSTB to blast all of it :lol:

I've also never made edibles before, so I've got no idea how much fat is needed for that much ABV...
I can only assume I'd end up with enough canna-fat to make multiple brownie runs?

I've got somewhere between an 1/8-1/4 of pretty average bud I could throw in there with it if it's really needed, but it's relatively low grade bud and quite a low weight compared to the ABV mountain I'll be working with...

I've got some higher grade buds available to me as well, but I'd rather keep them for vaping ATM.

I'm pretty open to ideas as to what I should do with it, I'm basically just looking for some freebie actives I can share with buddies this holiday season :D

Cheers @lwien, I may just try that out :D

I'm mainly looking for something that'd be a bit more easily shareable with buddies, but that looks like a nice little method :)

I was actually thinking about you when I snapped that pic of my ABV - it's gotta be like a decades worth of ABV for you, yeah? :lol:

I absolutely love abv edibles, one of the best ways to get me stoned and ready for a movie or bed. I usually wait till I have 2 ounces of abv and do 1-2 batches of something. I loooove my abv

I just make a gazillion canna capsules (Bad Kitty Smile Style-ish), and they´re really good for mild pain, sleep and just generally chillin out :smug:

...as opposed to the capsules that are made with fresh, unvaped material. They´re just good for making you go :mmmm: or :whoa: or sometimes even :freak:

While "Sharing is caring" be very careful handing out medibles. It is hard to find correct dosage as duff varies so greatly and then there is the ability to absorb that is so unbelievably different in folks. My pleasant trip to Buzz Mountain may very well be your Ride Through Hell Headtrip.

I personally would make a big batch of oil (BadKittySmiles) and then use it 1/2 cup at a time in brownie making. Just eyeballing it, I would say you have enough ABV for at least 2 cups of oil.

ABV canna-caps are also very nice before bedtime, administered either through the front door or the back. ;)

o.0 Seriously

I just bought an Aeropress so I can try making some QWET with some of my ABV.

I sprinkle some on my breakfast before work (seriously, any breakfast, yogurt, eggs, cereal lol).

Otherwise, I too have an influx of ABV and looking for creative ways to extract from it (I'm trying to avoid the whole BHO method of extraction)

I tried the chilled alcohol shake strain evaporate thing. I ended up with a bathroom that I was afraid would blow up do to fumes. The end result was a thin layer of cork.....it went in trash.

I have like 80 grams I need to make into something..a tip for everyone using abv in recipes..substitute coconut oil into watch the potency go up !! Less than two grams mixed with some coconut oil put me out for 4 hours. Couldn't walk very much during that time. Total high lasted at least 12 hours.

I am a big fan of cannasuppositories. I like to roll a ball of AVB in some reclaim until it is good and sticky, then shelve it right up the clacker for full absorption! It is also a great crowd pleaser for when unexpected friends drop in! Vaping is kinda boring for me now TBH, I tend to only vape so I can have AVB and reclaim for this purpose.

By the way, remember that decarbed runny oils are better for this purpose, sap/wax may cause some difficulty in entry - sometimes we need to grease the wheels of progress!

Edibles, for me, is a very different high than smoking or vaping, but then, I guess that should't come as a surprise being that the liver converts it into a very different drug, some similarities but still...........different.

I just have to say ..... sweet jebus man... "it's also a great crowd pleaser" :uhoh: Wtf, I don't even wanna imagine the moment when of "OK everyone, lets get wasted.... drop em" when it's time ! :lmao:

All in jest Pal ;) I'm of the motto .. Whatever floats one's boat ! But had to go with it, ya know ? :razz: Btw, if you didn't know.... IT's AN EXIT :ugh::shrug::lol:

On a serious note, why would it even work seeing that decarb'ing isn't for the purpose of 'blood' absorbtion, and putting it 'there' would be mostly the same as sublingual intake from my knowledge ?


EDITED due to poster edit: ASS ! you had me there and came back during my post lol

Apologies for derailing the thread with a casual footnote comment to my main point ;) which is that large quantities of ABV can be mass-processed into coconut oil, which can then be accurately measured out for use in edibles. I do it with friends; we have a party, bring our ABV jars, and throw them in the same vat of oil to make a "salad" of many different strains vaped at different temps through different vapes.

Here is some oil-making soft-core for your enlightenment:


ABV canna-oil is amazing for bedtime/insomnia (better in my opinion than products derived from fresh green buds, which I've known to make my pulse and mind race for hours).

To some of you (you know who you are), my only comment is "don't knock it till you try it." Canna-oil has many applications which provide gentler alternatives to smoking, vaping, or edibles. Try rubbing some canna-oil on an arthritic joint, or on your temples for stress/headache, or maybe even try it as a personal lubricant. My only caution is that oil should not be used with latex condoms, so be safe!

I tried an iso evap on some and it turned out horrible. What was the consensus on capsules filled with abv and downing them that way?
