You still have to remove the alcohol.

There’s a very informative video on you tube about making this I suggust you watch a cpl videos it can be dangerous. You have to use low heat to evoperate the alchol. Like 160 degrees for 24 hrs

@Paul667

First and foremost, please do not cross post topics. Only one topic per discussion.

I finally located that recipe you are referring too and it is a little vague as it fails to mention decarbing the MJ and also evaporating the alcohol. I don’t have to tell you that alcohol is a flammable and using it in a vaporizer could cause a fire.

There is a step missing where they alcohol is supposed to be left open and allowed to evaporate after the final straining. Once the alcohol is evaporated you use a dab tool or a Popsicle stick and roll the goo into a ball and add it to the vape juice.

I would suggest you use the site search tool and search the word vape

There are numerous topics dedicated to discussion on that and there are a lot of great ideas on how to extracting the MJ into a solid for adding it to vape juice. Using heat and pressure is another that work and is a lot safer that evaporating alcohol.

I make my own vape juice!

CB and Hog use the rosin presses. I have used locally procured shatter and wax and i have also done the alcohol evaporation method as well.

I am preparing for a low cost press. I have a hair straightener to press with clamps. I will be posting it over on this topic.
