Hey everyone! I just got my Levo 2 machine and am super stoked to try it. I’ve been seeing people talking about the Drying, Decarb and Infuse portions… I’m in over my head I feel… Should I just throw an ounce of weed in here with a cup of coconut oil and start Decarbing? or do I have to dry first? Or do I go right to infusing? I’m just trying to make some coconut oil to start… going to add it to my morning coffee and see, but I don’t want to just waste product.
If anyone could let me know what your normal process is I would you forever!
You should have received instructions with the unit. It is a step by step process. Not that hard believe me. Keep asking questions, you will get answers from other Levo users. happy infusing
If its not dry you can dry it in the unit. Mine is dry so I just set the decarb and then run the unit with the oil. Couple tips. Keep a cup under the nozzle the whole time. It can drip a little. Also you can order a second basket to run more material at a time. Or even better, the screen hack. Get a stainless steel coffee screen and put it in the bottom. Then you can just add the material into the whole unit. This will give you a lot to work with. I found that running my levo overnight was the way to go. Made some excellent butter and oil with it. Had a tablespoon of the butter on some toast last night and was in pure body bliss before bedtime!
Thanks so much @thecount13 && @HeyJB !! I’m just getting this unboxed and reading through the paperwork that came with it. Thanks for the quick responses and user experiences! I’m out of “likes” right now, but I’ll get ya later!
I have a Levo C and love it. It makes a quart of cannabutter at a time. I did my first infusion with Coconut Oil and my Bruce Banner grow sugar leaves. I made some brownies, one put me to sleep for 12 hours. Made my first batch of Gummie Bears today.
I made butter and coconut oil so far, and this Levo 2 works great! It’s a little weak, but I can use more flower next time. I activated for 45 minutes at 240, and then infused with the oil for 2:30 at 180 degrees. Poured the contents into my Levo 2 rubber ice tray looking thing, and it works great! Love it!
Some people do opt for a mat like you describe. I have run 3 total cycles with the Levo 2 with interesting results. I don’t use a silicone mat or a French press screen, I use a stainless steel coffee cup style strainer. I don’t have an issue with burning, but after the Activate cycle, the bud is pretty crispy.i don’t know if that’s bad or benign? I’m tempted to switch to a French press style and see if it helps or changes anything. I want to use a full ounce of bud next time and see if I can increase the strength.
This last batch I used 0.65 Oz of pretty decent bud, around a cup of coconut oil, maybe a little bit more, I did not dry, I “Activated” for 45 minutes at 240 degrees F, and then “Infused” for 3 hours. That filled the Levo 2 nearly to the rim and filled the silicone /rubber ice cube tray to about 70% capacity. Fairly decent strength,but I would like it a bit stronger.
Run it again with a fresh load. I do up to 2oz sometimes. Infuse. Throw away used. Refill. Add oil back and infuse again. Stay under 170. 3 hours is a good time i have an extra pod and do 1/2 oz a run up to 4 times. Strong does not begin to describe it. At 2 oz just licking a spoon will flatten you sometimes.
you forever!
