I just heat olive oil in a pot for a while, strain with a cheesecloth, and put it into gelatin capsules.
I expect to be faced with POUNDS of material to process. Where I am living right now has 4 plants in the back yard that are absolute monsters. We’ve named them Godzilla, Ghidorah, Rodan and Mothra. All are different strains of high quality clones just beginning to bud. The owner of these plants has already decided to only trim and store the best buds, and has charged me with making something out of the rest. This is why I am eventually setting up the main boiler so that I can use a large syringe, or glass valve, to refill it as the alcohol is cooked away. As I said earlier I expect to be able to cook the wash with up to 400 ml of concentrate left in the flask with 5-10% alcohol residue. That’s several liters of wash to get that much concentrate! I have no idea what weight in finished oil that will produce, but I will find out.
I’m looking at a small vacuum pump for the finishing, and from what I’ve read I need to use dry ice to really eliminate the chlorophyll, wax and alkaloids pickup in the wash. That ultra cold wash can also be extended out to 20 minutes of soak time to get far more good stuff out of the weed. Like I said, some experimentation is in order.
I am going to experiment with making my own vape juice. From what I understand non nicotine unflavored, or naturally flavored, e-juice is mixed with the oil I am making 1:1 in a low heat setting. This is then injected into a vape cartridge while still warm. Filling a dozen at a time would be so sweet.
I expect the household will experiment with all sorts of stuff. I want to take a gram of the oil and mix it with enough kief to make some moist cake hash. Brownies, olive oil and butter have all been mentioned.
I can foresee some seriously fucked up folks around here come mid October.
