Sounds like the issue is that the mixture is too hot when put in the caps.
ok well i still havent made a successful batch i think i need to cook it for longer
Ok i have a problem. I have gotten many people high with these pills but no matter how much i take i cant get more then a slight body buzz. All the people i gave these too are passing out and saying that these are really intense. Now im a big dude, 250 pounds do you think this may have something to do with it? Plus i have some weird stomach problems like acid reflux. Im really not shure but its depressing to see other people getting to the place i crafted for them while im stuck on the ground. Any knowledge about this (if there is any) would be greatly appriciated.
:rasta:
That's the exact problems that vilo was having. I don't have an answer for it.....except try different heat strengths and find out what works for you.
I feel for you man. I'm in the same boat, except nobody else has tried mine. I have a huge tolerance for everything, and have had since I was a baby. Bigger people need to take bigger doses for the same effect. I firmly believe that I just have not hit the magic number for temperature, or I am doing something wrong. I know from experience that when you cook correctly, the experience is awesome. Much different, better, longer, and cleaner feeling than smoking. Don't give up. I think you need to experiment with times, temperatures, or weed variety/quantity. Everybody's cooker, body, and weed is different.
Yeah, like Weedhound said, exactly our situation...we decided to stop trying altogether after the last batch bombed for us again even though every friend has been knocked off their asses. None of them smoke like we do, so we think that must be it...its so annoying!!!Quote:

So far I've ordered the capsules and a cap-m-quick tray. So I just need to wait for that to arrive. Then I'll try and find a bag to try out this recipe.
I've always wanted to cook something, but wasn't really interested in things like firecrackers and didn't really want to make brownies. This is probably the perfect thing because I can take it while I'm eating or whenever without having to smoke. That and eating seems to increase the high instead of bring you down.
Thanks, Flameon. Can't wait till I get to try this out.
I f*cked up!! I fell asleep after rapid fire vape hits, I staggered to bed and forgot to cut the oven off, leaving the coconut oil and herb in the heat over 8 hours at 300 f. it looks the same and I will try 2 00 caps in a little while and see what happens.

Ok here is what happened, I went out of it last night after multiple vape hits of some really good mids, forgetting that I had some cocooil/weed for caps in the oven. I jerked awake flipping out about leaving the oven on all night, ran into the kitchen expecting it to be burnt up or something. It was a little darker than usual, but no unusual smell or any other differences from the way it has been in the past. I did grind up a little finer though. So any ways I let it harden in the fridge then mashed it up so that it is fine but still solid. Then I got a stick and stuffed it in the big end of the caps. I took 4 caps and am higher than batman.

Thanks to all that are involved in this thread. I have right now a nirvana like high, and thank the lord is probably going to be one of those long ones. What I was missing was duration of the heat. I had 140 c temps before but I wasn't letting it cook long enough. Quite by accident I have discovered how I'm going to do it from now on. I'm not drooling yet but my mouth is suddenly moist for some reason.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAha I got 42 more of those babies left too out of less that a 1/4 cup of oil/herb mixture. Very good method.

Hey everyone, im new to the forum but made some capsules for the first time like a week ago. I read through like the first half of the thread before deciding to try this and going out to round up all the equipment...
*Started off just throwing the crock pot on low (out of low, high, warm, and off settings)
*Added a gram and a half good chronic, (twist-type-grinder or whatever its called grinded) with a teaspoon and a half of room temp coconut oil in a shot glass (diameter probably about an inch, pretty small)
*With about an inch of water in the crock pot
And left for about 2 hours. I made two batches like that in like 2 days but even though I tried not to smoke any so I to clearly distinguish the capsule high, still only felt a pretty regular high when i ended up smoking around the time of taking the capsules (actually like all day).
Yesterday I started reading pretty much the second half of the thread and went out to get me a candy thermometer. Now I took out the water and left the thermometer in the crock pot so i could read it through the glass lid so I wouldn't have to open it and so I could watch it heat up. Waited till it reached about 220f i believe it was is when i put in a small tea cup with 3 grams of sticky ass sweet tooth grinded with my grinder (couldn't get it powdery or anything). Now I left the thermometer in the cup (had to kind of tip it over a little to get the lid to close) and monitoring to keep it around 220-250 for probably about 2 and a half hours... So hopefully this batch comes out better, wish me luck and sorry if anything didnt make sense or i left something out im pretty blazed right now :stoned::stoned: haha
The ones made last weekend were very low potency, but it was great fun and a learning experience.
Second batch. This time I used coconut oil and this time I used the measurements Flameon used in the original instructions: I used 1.6 g of powdered bud and 1.5 tsps of oil.
Between 200 - 250 for 2.5 hours in the slow cooker. During the third hour, the temp went up to almost 300. At this time, I began to smell the weed pretty strong, so I turned it off. The finished oil had a slight burned smell, so I was afraid I'd lost some potency from overcooking. I filled 13.5 caps with the oil mixture.
So. I took one cap at around 11:15 a.m. It is now 12:37 and I am having a very hard time typing this, so I guess I didn't lose too much potency. :D Much, much stronger than the last ones. :thumbsup: Seriously.
ok, so everything went fine I think and I packed i think somewhere around 60 cpsules with those 3 grams of bud + 2-3 teaspoons of coconut oil... by the way i have size 3 capsules which was all I could find which by my sizing calculations compared to 00s are about 66% of a 00... Took 6 and so did my sister (should be equivalent to about 4 00s) at around 3:30 and being 6:00 havnt felt a thing...
Its midnight where im at, and so far and not much other then the occasional "i feel a lil weird". Sometime between 7 and 8 my sister informed me that she started feeling a high, by 8 she said "it was the highest shes ever been". Between 8 and 8:30 I took another 12 (again, of my size 3 capsules which would equal roughly 8, 00 size capsules) just to see and like i said, still nothing for me at least... :(
sorry for posting so much but i had to come back beacuse right after posting last I watched about 1 episode of an anime (22 min mor or less) and then having firefox close down on me had to reload videos i began to look in the channel listings of the video site and came across a hip hop one in the top listing and whenon to watch a video about RZAs top 5 mcs in which kool g rap was mentioned and not knowing much about him bein that thats a little before my era decided to look him up in wikipedia and went on to spend about an hour on seraching him and related rappers and downloading music... in conclusion, if that isnt being high, i dont know what is... im really happy now, and thanks to all the creators of this thread, couldnt have done it without u :jointsmile:
i cant seem to get it, i think this time im gonna put the buds in the oven first n then put it in the oil already heated to 275 for 3 hrs, hopefully it will work this time
will make it n let u know how it turns out
im gonna use the oven method with the thermometer i just gotta get 1 that goes to 300 degrees
It's so fascinating to see the little differences that work and don't work between people. Luck to everyone still trying......
1-Would you guys decaboxilize your weed just for smoking?
2-And if you had only bud ,would you use it in that form for caps. or shake it down for hash and use that for caps instead?I hear some staying with bud but wouldnt it be easier to use hash.Im just not feeling the ThC molecule thing.
3-Like, breaking it down further.Would that get more out of heated butter/weed?Put it in a Vita Mix? This blender has 2 h.p..(~$700.) So, when you put in just vegtables, turn it on ,"boiling in just 4-5 minutes",it turns it to like warm soup.i think a couple hundred degrees.Only by friction. And also its breaking the solids down further.Which is my point/question.
I always do this -try to find abetter way...when alot of times its overkill.
WEEDhound -DO a video on caps. dude! Show us how its done .Somebodys gonna do it. Thanks !!!!
Mcnizzlebery, I have the same.Two apples a day(I peel mine in the morning) ,will get rid of your stomach probs.Things like tums,calcium and even saliva neutralize acid quick.You dont want your food to rise in the stomach ,so after eating for a while dont bend over or lie down .Recline instead.If you do have to lie down or sleep,do it on your left side.<it works. Also its a ph thing.That needs balancing. So ,you can top off your acid(steak)portions with alkaline portions,Like lettuce(salad),cucumber,light beans,But the apple is the long term fix.Kicks in after a couples days.
do i want more oil in the pill or do i want more of the gunky weed in the pills ? or all oil? or the same amount of both in each pill
Purty sure ive seen someone ask this before and the answer was both. Its all importand and all part of the mix, shouldnt be too oily though i dont think... Just mix it a little and do equal ammounts of everything id sayQuote:

i dk what i did wrong
i activated the nugs
i put the oil at 275
add the shake
cooked for 4 hours
n they didnt work
i took 6 to get high
sounds like me... I had to take an equivalent of 8 capsules to get me what I admit was pretty high, but nowhere near what it sounds like it should have been with that much...Quote:

I had 2 of them on a fairly empty stomach that night and didn't feel anything. I had a nice case of the burps all night though.
I put them in a Ibprofun bottle and they sat there until today, partly because I didn't think they were worth taking, and partly because I got a new vape (herbal aire, mmmmmm). I decided to try them again today.
I had 4 capsules (why not? i didn't think they'd do anything) at 1pm after eating a large lunch. I continued on my day and didn't feel anything. I was disappointed. HOWEVER, around 6 pm it hit me like a brick wall. I've been in a very good place since then, and I highly suggest trying this recipe! (just don't expect quick results)
what do we do to get the same result as these ppl
im gonna be trying again tonight but i dk what to do differently this ttime to make it work
n e suggestions?
try more time and check your grind and temperature. Also you might eat some lethicin suplements they help the body to metabolize fat.Keep trying

Make sure you're using good weed. Otherwise decrease the amount of oil you use. I used an 1/8 of shitty mids and therefore only used like 5 teaspoons of oil. Still I had to take more than 2 to feel something.
I think if do 275 degrees for 2 1/2 hrs of an 1/8 of nice headies and 6 teaspoons of oil you should be good (make sure the thing you cook it in doesn't absorb alot of heat). I used a ceramic egg cooker, kind of looked like a ceramic shot glass. Taking two of these should give you very noticeable effects and three should give you a solid high for 3-4 hours.:rastasmoke:
I can't say enough that I think different temps work for different people. Try an hour at 300F for those who have tried the lower temps with no (or a poor) results and then again at 325F.
ok well i just put in a batch at 275 again
u think i should raise n lower the temp while its cooking from 275 to 315
Don't know how much you are making but since you've tried 275F I'd try 300 for an hour just as a "next step" more than any specific reason. I've had pretty decent results at temps up to about 350F.
im gonna have to try that next time
but im feelin good about this batch
tmw ill let u know how they work
n if they dont ill then try it at about 325, how long only 1 hr cuz of the higher temp?
Yes, that's my thought.....I've cooked weed up to 350-375 and still gotten a good buzz......which is why I suggested it (based on an old recipe I used to use) but I've never cooked it for HOURS at a higher temp so I'd hesitate to tell you to do it for a long time and burn off all the good stuff.
im gonna try a batch now
3.6 grams of coconut oil
.8 grams of good bud
for an hr at 3 25 deg.
ill let u know how they turn out
Good luck!
ok this buddy of mine made some caps yesterday using peanut oil. he said they weren't very good. took the edge off, felt some physical effects, but nothing major. then he went out like a good soldier and got organic virgin coconut oil. tried again. using 2g powdered middies, 1.5-2tsp coconut oil. In a little ceramic dish in the crockpot for 2hrs 45mins on low, 10 mins on high (last little squeeze), 5 minutes sitting in crockpot in off position but with lid on. For a total of 3 hrs. Never checked temperatures cuz he can't be arsed to monitor temps all day.
Final result. 3 caps. he was Completely floored by the results. This is insane. He was very happy because as he stated, "i've taken my crap middies and made them into the dankest little capsules. ":thumbsup:
He was amazed.
