after my third attempt i finally got it to work. i clarified my own butter by letting it simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes until all of the white crap was out and i was left with clear butter. then i added about 1.5 gs of finely ground mids. and then i just spooned out about a table spoon of butter and threw in the crock pot and voila. it ended up making about 16 00 capsules. the first try i took 3 and fealt a moderate buzz. then yesterday around 3:30 ish i took 4 capsules and was flying pretty good for about 2 or 3 hours. i did this on an empty stomach and it took a good 2 hours to kick in. i would highly recommend this because its extremely easy and when the cops raided my college dorm last night they were none the wiser :stoned:
thanks alot flameon these babies work great :D
Thanks dude, will need to give it a try some time..
Has any one else tryed these capsules? If so what are they like?
Here a link for buyin gelatine capsules Empty Capsule Shop - Empty Gelatine Capsules
Peace:hippy:
As an add on to Flameon's post about crockpots.
I spent the afternoon cooking capsules in mine, checking temps along the way and learned several interesting things. First the low setting is too low (180F) Second..the high setting is too high. (once it got to 275 and still going up I turned it down) so the answer was to watch temps and switch between low and high as Flame suggested. It was still much easier than standing there with the stuff as it cooked. I simply checked temps and made adjustments once an hour and that was plenty. All in all the process took about 4 hours.....made longer of course by my taking off the top and checking temps here and there but was MUCH less work than my other way.
Made these guys last night. Used 1/8 mids, 5 tsp coconut oil, in a 250 degree oven for 2 1/2 hours. Cured the herb for 15 minutes at same temperature then ground it up very fine before hand. It looked like a very dark olive oil when it was done. Ended up filling 30 capsules (a pleasant surprise, I was only expecting around 24). Just took one 15 minutes ago to see how strong they are. Should be a very nice afternoon. I'll update later on.
I have successfully made many of the edibles that we discuss here and have come to realize if you fail that you must try again. I made some capsules in a crock pot as was suggested,and they very mildly worked. Knowing in the practical world that you need fat to bind with and heat to decarb, and at least decent materials to work with. I set out to troubleshoot. I had made several beginners mistakes. The capsules more or less melted as soon as I put the mixture in as the water that errantly got in there from the crock pot will disolve the capsules that was Mistake #1. Mistake#2 was that I did not dry and finely grind the herbs. Mistake #3 the crock pot didn't quite get to 80c maybe 77 or so. So I see my mistakes, and am going to try to reheat the rest of the oil after chopping it some to make it more finely ground. Also at the same time I am making another batch with more potent materials. I hate to dry out these fresh greens but thats what's got to happen. Will post back with results

I was sick of trying to hold the caps while filling them and didn't really want to fork over the cash for a capsule filling tray. I was at Michaels craft store and came across florist foam. It already had holes in it so every other premade hole I pushed a cap in to make the hole bigger/deeper. It works great and was a steal at $2.49.
so do these work like fursure
Iâ??m really glad I tried this. Smoking and I donâ??t get along so I am very glad to have this option. Thank you Flameon and the contributors for the directions and information on this subject. Iâ??ve learned a great deal by coming here. My first attempt at making this stuff was okay. The crock pot I used is very old (an original!) so I tested it first--every 10-12 minutes with an instant read thermo over a period of about two hours. The low setting of the pot runs too cool for this job. A heavy shot glass with a tablespoon of ghee was used as the vehicle. From a cold start, it took two hours to reach 257 deg F and then it hovered close to 258 for the next twenty minutes. Joy! Good to go. I donâ??t have a scale and it makes sense I should get one, but for this job I estimated the amount of bud to use based on one eighth of an ounce being about 3.5 grams. I oven-dried the bud for 15 minutes at 250 deg F, ground it fine with an electric coffee grinder and fed it to the hot oil in the pot for two hours. Then I let it cool in the pot for about a half hour with the lid off. While liquid, the resulting oil had what I would call a medium olive color. Later, I tried some of the results. It took a little over two hours before I felt it. I think this method is going to be great for me. Looking back, I just didnâ??t use enough bud to get the results I was hoping for, but it was good. Next time will be better. Thanks to all of you.
Keep in mind, the greener the herb, the greener the oil. Medium Olive, or maybe a shade or two darker, is what I get.Quote:
