    How do you know when your buds are done being vaped?

    You know, member @an0maly posted this thread a few months back with a recent study from a lab in Massachusetts (member @mcrlabs). They were looking at how much THC and CBD were in vapor from a MFLB after 30 hits. There is a link to the white paper in that thread and it addresses the THC and...

    Using a pressure cooker for butter/oil extracts

    Here's another idea I'll throw out. That MC site mentions using something called a retort bag instead of a canning jar. A retort bag is one of those foil laminated pouches you often see in commercial food applications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retort_pouch They are sold on eBay...

    Using a pressure cooker for butter/oil extracts

    I think 234 would be an interesting temp to try. It would be easy to monitor - on my PC 234/0.5 bar corresponds to that first red line on the stem (see pic above) rather than the second one that I used yesterday. On the seal, nothing is positive and I am sure there is some kind of leakage, but...

    Vaporizers In Popular Culture - Movies, Television, Celebrities

    I'm glad someone posted the Sarah Silverman thing. The whole interview is worth watching: http://www.eonline.com/videos/225344/sarah-silverman-brought-what-to-2014-emmys What is that cheap looking pen she's using anyway?

    Using a pressure cooker for butter/oil extracts

    Thanks for the feedback and encouragement. I'll address the easier comment first - if the lid of the jar is cracked a bit how do I know that the lower temp volatiles are staying inside? I dont know for certain but my feeling is that not much vapor is escaping out of the mason jar, and even...

    Using a pressure cooker for butter/oil extracts

    I'm a fairly new FC poster and not-so-new lurker. In a recent post I mentioned that I use a pressure cooker for making cannabutter/oil but later realized this is something I've never seen discussed on a forum. So I thought I would detail the method here... I welcome any comments / suggestions...

    Clarified butter: thoughts, opinions, experiences for Cannabutter

    I use clarified butter pretty consistently. I just made a batch today and took care to weigh everything - I used a lb (454g) of unsalted butter and when I was done was left with 353g of clarified butter. At the very least, I've improved the concentration of my eventual extract by ~25% just...

    Massachusetts Lab Investigates How To Dose Yourself When Vaporizing Cannabis

    What I find extremely interesting about this study is what's left in the ABV after those 30 draws (I clipped Figure 2 from the white paper below). While obviously a lot of the THC has been extracted, THC is still the primary active component in the ABV - much more so than CBD. Also...

    Magical Butter

    The processes should be almost identical. All you are doing with the butter maker is doing an extraction at a constant butter/oil temperature, which is the same thing I am doing with my sous vide and pressure cooker setups. So mentioning that part should be conducive to better MB processes...

    Magical Butter

    I dont have a magical butter machine but have been using a sous vide setup and sometimes a pressure cooker setup to do the same thing. Looking at the butter machine I think the parameters should be very similar. In the pressure cooker setup I'd put the butter, ABV or fresh, and lecithin in a...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    I am pretty active on the cooking side - medicated cooking or not -- and I use my sous vide all the time for this and think its the best method I've used so far. I use both coconut oil and clarified butter. Generally I do a decarb in the oven first. Sometimes I grind it in a coffee/spice...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I've had my Ascent for about a month now, and a Solo for about a year and a half. Also own or have owned a Pax, WISPR, original Iolite, plus on the tabletop side a Volcano and Plenty. I bought the Ascent because I was going on a family vacation (I'm the parent not the child) and needed...
