I would like to make an edible form of thc. I am interested in the concentrates.
I have a hair straightener for my first try.
This is what I want to end up with.
Is it possible to take the dab and put it in a syringe like this? For this syringe I put some concentrate on a small piece of chacolate, the size of a grain of rice, and 1,5 hours I feel great.
This is what I am hoping to accomplish.
If the hair straightener works then I will purchase an appropriate mashing machine.
Do you have access to Everclear 190 proof? I have a press and for edibles and even dabbing i prefer the qwet method. It takes a few days but its much more worth it and i get more return.
Can’t get 190 proof where I am. Not anywhere in the state.
I have some 150 proof Everclear. I used it and made a very small batch. I used the QWET method but it takes a while and the smell is pretty strong. I haven’t tried it yet, later today. But I did order a smasher and it will be here this coming week. See what happens with it.
Thanks
We are playing with temps and pressure at the moment with our press. Been pressing at 200°F at 1000psi and am getting some pretty good caramel looking wax. Buddy of mine is dropping it to 170°F at 600 psi this weekend to see if he gets more of a budder. Will be getting some dry ice to make some hash and puck it and then smash it to get the highest quality. Cant wait to try that out.
So optimal yield. Out of 13gs of flower i got about 4.5gs of concentrate from pressing. I tried 180 190 200 210 up to 250. At 250 it started to burn and the yield was crappy. 180 and it was buttery which i like, but too buttery and had a hard time melting in my lookah. At 200°F i got a great yield pressing at 500psi for 1:30 sec then increasing to 1500psi for another 1:30sec for a total of 3 minutes. Great flavor and burns smooth.
I did the QWET and the pressure types to get edible THC. I used an Indica Grand Daddy Purple from ILGM.
Both were OK, but the return from flower to THC is not so good.
Both types are strong. I did a piece of the QWET about the size of a piece of rice and the high was very good. It seemed to be more mellow and lasted an hour longer than smoke. Same with the press method.
Both times I used 4 grams of flower and got a return of .18 grams each time. The
I purchased a LEVO and have used it twice with terrible results. It probably isn’t the machine but it allows for 3.5g of flower but to infuse it the machine needs a lot of coconut oil. I got a very weak return.
So, after spending over $800 US on these apparatus my feeling is to purchase the RSO from a refinery.
