Hi fellow MB2 owners! I have had my MB2 for about a week now. I am enamored with all of its functions and the ease of making butter which used to stink up my house for an entire DAY! What a relief to just throw everything in & press GO!
![Smile :) :)](/i/s/smile.gif)
and then the autoclean function...does it get better?!?
My main reason for buying this product was for butter and tincture. i made the butter...it was a cinch! however, effect was not gr8
![Cry :cry: :cry:](/i/s/cry.gif)
...it must be my fault...i'm guessing i didn't add enough herb. damn! in the future, I will do coconut oil which i've read the absorbs the THC waaay better...who knows?
So...here's my experience with tincture: I put in 16oz of veg glycerin (can't use alcohol as i'm allergic...how much does THAT suck?!? LOL). Being the blonde that I am, it didn't occur to me that 8oz per container meant 2 cups...lol!! I would have rather had 3 cups & i had the soy lecithin in my cart but somehow managed to get home without it...der! K...the recipe I used:
2 cups veg glycerin
1 1/2 c. water
18g of 23% OG buds - very fresh & getting gr8 reviews.
set MB2 to 160 & hit the 4 hr tincture button...what an easy process! and believe it or not, the straining wasn't bad either
the bummer is: not a great high or pain relief at least not with the amounts i used (i tried 4 dropfuls and nuttin honey...that was after trying 1 dropful, then 2, and so on...so, I'm giving another go...
I put everything BACK into the machine (after all the straining...damn!
![Doh! :doh: :doh:](/i/s/doh.gif)
) and added another 18g of J1 (23% as well) some mr nice shake(17%) I've had laying around(couple gr) and some trim that I didn't have any use for. So...end result should be super strong, right? if this doesn't do it, its going back.
I have a question for you guys (as I've learned a ton from reading your threads)...ive never been a big pot person but my Kaiser doc recommended that i start trying it as i got injured in 1996 (i'm 40 now---but CUTE and look MAYBE 26!
![LOL :lol: :lol:](/i/s/lol.gif)
for years I have been prescribed 8- 10/325 Norcos per day, 3 Somas, 100mg fentynyl patches every 3 days...and believe it or not, there is more...UGH! I really dont enjoy smoking (although I smoke cloves...figure that one out?!?) but I have found some rice krispy medibles that work wonders for about 5hrs...so obviously, that is what I am trying to re-create. It seems that my tolerance is extremely high (my boytoy has been smokin 4ever and uses half or what I do! ITS NOT FAIR!!! LOL)
I am praying the tincture rocks...should be finished soon (bout 30 min more & then I'm gonna give it a go so I can get some relief) Wish me luck?
Sorry for the extended ridiculous ramble...I don't get out much
