PS: I'm not going to research all your other threads before I make a comment in this one.

I understand that you don't have to research my other threads. Sorry to come off as offensive...not my intent.

I usually toss some leftover kif and some bottom of the jar shake to the butter if I want to ensure more of a kick. I find that 2 pieces of cannabutter & jelly buzz me every morning with my coffee quite nicely.

Vaporizers certainly are the most efficient way of getting the most from your buds, from getting high once, twice, hash/kif, cannabutter, and these days even portable cord free vaping ...just amazing.:hippy:

Any suggestions on a good ratio for just one stick of butter. I've been using about 3/4 of an ounce of vaped (3 - 4 bags at 400 degrees) and it doesn't seem like its getting me that baked. As far as I can tell I'm making good budder just not strong enough?

Well first of all, 400 is way too high if you plan on making cannabutter. Try to stay below 373F. I'm not sure on how you're making your butter or the quality of your buds, both which will affect the outcome. I hope that helps.:hippy:

If I have to vape at a lower temp, I'll prob just stick with weak budder because I like denser vapors in the bag. I boil a stick of butter and the vaped weed for 30 minutes, then strain the mixture thoroughly and cool in the fridge. I end up with a budder disc floating on top of all the crap water. I'll try using more vape I guess since I like to get most of the THC in the first go, thanks for the info.

The density of the vapor has nothing to do with the contents. Once you start reaching the higher temps, you're just getting closer to actual combustion therefore your vapor density tends to increase. It's all personal preference but in regards to the thread topic, you want lower temps. You can vape at much lower temps and see barely any vapor but still get super high, even ask VapedG13 on here. Maybe you have lower quality buds? I have already made butter with fully vaped (5 to 7 bags) buds and it still came out great. All these factors will determine your butters final outcome...vape temps, number of bags/whips vaped, quality of bud, method of making cannabutter & amount of butter used. If you are looking for more THC in the butter then common sense says just use fresh bud OR use the suggestions I have given you to get high and then high again with cannabutter.

I`m sorry that you are having trouble but it works great for me and others I know. I use this method constantly because of how often I must vape and I have found no better way to fullu utilize all my bud. Keep trying and you will figure it out. Practice makes perfect.:hippy:

Interesting. I started vaping at 400 because thats what the storz&bickel guide said to use for herb. I assumed the thicker the vapor the more THC...seems logical. I'll try 373 and see if I still get as high (after my upcoming drug test). It's true my buds are not the greatest...just mid-grade.

The S&B manual makes no mention of what temperatures to vaporize marijuana at. There is a thread in the vaporizer lounge dedicated to digital vape temps. Most prefer between 350F-378 it seems. Try to find some nug and you will see exactly what I mean.:hippy:

It didn't say marijuana specifically but it came with a temp guide for stuff like jasmine and other things you'd prob never vape. The last item was "herbs" which I took to mean their way of saying pot legally and the suggested temp was 400. Since it worked good at 400 I havn't strayed, but yeah I'll see what happens at lower temps.

Hmm...I'm looking at it again and it says Thyme, which is the only one that has "the herb" used as the plant part and it's 374 so not sure where I got 400 from. Oh well...I just can't wait to be able to vape again (at any temp).

I just made some brownies and used vaped toasties as the foundation. I also cooked them in oil; which is far easier than making butter. I used about twice the amount of normal shake and these things are absolutely nuclear.

I'll be cooking in oil from now on...the whole process took 20 minutes (plus the time to make the brownies). :thumbsup:
