DrömmenOmFrihet
Permanently shut down
I ran out of weed yesterday and have been scrambling to figure out ways to use what miniscule amounts I have left. I’ve been getting decent clouds on this bowl but usually don’t with AVB, and am wondering why.

What vape are you using?
AVB - Already Vaped Bud
This means all the actives have been removed from your herb and only the heavier elements are left.
You can revape your AVB but you will need a much higher temp to extract the left overs.
There will not be any psycoactives left and it will make you very tired.

Going to have to go a lot hotter if you want to use AVB.
Since the temp you set is for fresh herb, you will get lots of vapor and flavor.
AVB at a hitter temp will tatse more like popcorn...
I would try 500 and work up or down from there

I normally don't go beyond 410 with fresh weed. I've tried AVB at 500 and it's extremely harsh unless I plug my whip into my bong.

Exactly...
It's the same as smoking roaches...
Once all the goodies are gone from vaping, you could make a cannabutter and make cookies.
At least this way you get double use!

I agree. ABV by definition is depleted and the flavorful trichomes are but a distant memory. ABV is at its best in an infusuin or tincture where you can still generate some THC, albeit not much flavor.Exactly...

If you are in a hurry to medicate yourself with your abv, just drop it into some coconut oil and let it cook at low temp (bain Marie to prevent >100°c) for as long as you can ( would say at least 1 hour) then filter plant matter out and voilà. Not the most efficient extraction and taste will be... well, you will survive it

Best to save it up for a while and water cure the AVB. Makes it a lot better!

For sure, it's always worth taking time to make a better product, but OP seemed do be quite in a hurry

I save mine until I have about a cup and water cure it in a French press. I combine it with an equal amount of MCT oil (liquid coconut oil) in a Pyrex measuring cup and immerse it in water in a crock pot on low for a few hours. Another option for a vaporist low on herb is to slowly simmer glass pieces that are dark with resin in milk. It will clean your glass and infuse the milk.
