Hello everyone,
I am looking for some advice for what mistakes I am making in attempt to create home made marijuana vape oil.
My last few batches I have made have had 0 potency, currently I have lost 56g of flower, and 3G of kief.
These are the steps i did on my most previous attempt.
I started this batch with 7g of flower, I used my grinder to finely grind this down to very small pieces.
I took 7g of flower and placed on a baking tray, I covered the baking tray with foil and heated in the oven at 220f for 25 minutes. This was done to decarbonize(?) the weed and make the chemicals in the plant extractable (I think?)
After baking the flower I took them out and placed the 7g in a mix of VEgetable Glycerin and Propylene Glycol. I used 8ml of liquid for every gram of flower... So my liquid consisted of 56ml, 39ml of VG and 17ml of PG.
I added the flowers into a mason jar that had this liquid.
I then began heating a pot of water that was filled enough so that once the mason jar was placed into reboot the water would be coming up just above the line that the mason jar was filled to, so the water level of the pot would be just as high as the level of the liquid in the mason jar.
Once the pot began to simmer I placed the mason jar inside with the lid on. I let the water summer with the mason jar inside for the next 4 hours. Every 15 minutes I would take the mason jar out and swirl it around and place back in the water.
After the 4 hours passed I removed and stored the mason jar in a dark place until the next day (jar sat in a dark place for 24 hours).
Once 24 hours had passed I repeated the process of placing the mason jar in the water and swirled every 15 minutes. This lasted only one more hour.
I only did this process a second time to heat up the liquid and make a more fluid liquid so the next step would be easier.
After the liquid warmed I removed the mason jar from the water, I let it cool slightly so the mason jar was cool enough to hold with your hand.
To strain I used a coffee filter, a pasta strainer and a funnel. I poured the liquid that I had into the strainers.
The liquids that were strained looked great. They didn't have any separation, the color looked nice.
After the liquid was strained I put it in my cartridge and tested the liquid.
The taste had a marijuana hint to it, the clouds that were produced were of decent size, but the effect wasn't there.
I need advice on how to produce a product that actually works. I have made RSO before and the potency was great. I used an alcohol extraction for that. I am open to doing an alcohol extraction if that is more effective. I am open to any sort of guidance and advice that can be provided.
I started doing his for my mom because she has cancer, the doctors said vapeing is healthiest way. And the cost to purchase marijuana cartridges is very high so I'm trying to produce myself.
