Cannabis Capsules â?? A step-by-step guide.

Quote Opie - xcrispi, I don't know for sure if the temperature remark was directed at me, but I'm pretty sure I was measuring the oil temperature, not the container. I was using a candy thermometer and a laser thermometer, which was consistently 13-14 degrees F lower than the candy thermometer (FYI).

Nope , Not at all Opie . Was just a statement in general - no hidden meanings . If I had any info to help out etc... I would have tagged your name on there as well . I wish I had more pos. input to help actually . I didn't even go as far as you have - I never got out our lil Atomik Laser to check temps.

Peace bro.

Tried a different method this time and OMG was this easy.

Went the scientific route like someone said. instead of a crock pot i took my steinel digital heat gun. These guns are digital temp controled and have a ceramic heat source. that was the formerly used before volcano vaporizers were in existances.

i Used to make turkey bag vapor balloons this way all the time.

made a tray over top of it set heat gun on the normal 280-290f, with 3 inch gap, between aluminum tray with oil and herbs and the top of the heat gun. Yes this heated up my house a bit. i had a constant temp hitting the bottem of my tray for 3 hours straight. No smell at all

Caps were perfect. 3 x 00 caps had me in a dazed and confused state for all but 3-4 hours. WeedHound i love you and Flameon:jointsmile: thanks again for this recipe/ idea

Next were planning on using the strained coconut oil in other edibles- Rice krispie treats, ice cream, cakes, bread

HMM ? something else to think about would strawberry seeds soak up coconut oil as they do alcohol if so you could fold the oil into milk chocolate and make chocolate covered thc strawberries. YUMMY!!

Didn't you used to do that Opie....fry it or something?

Yeah, we put it on the burner in a skillet and fried it just until it started turning brown. We found that you can do this with or without a little bit of oil in the pan. Constantly stirring, about 5 minutes. I can't remember what setting we used. Once browned, we stirred it into any brownie or cookie recipe. Tasted like crap, but my oh my what a trip.

UnTouched, nice improvisation.

Last night I went out to a concert and took 2 caps at 7pm and another 2 caps around 9pm. It didn't seem to significantly intensify the high when I took the other 2 caps, but when I woke up this morning at 6am I was still flying pretty nicely....

For all of you who are having multiple failures and are using a crockpot, I suggest that you try using a toaster oven or an oven. I made my first batch with a crockpot and it came out decent, but my second batch that I made using my toaster oven came out easily twice as good. Just try putting the plain butter/coconut oil in the oven for a while and checking the temp a few times before you put the gange into it. This will help you make sure that youre not overcooking it. I had mine around 325 the whole time.

Oh and decarbing is also something that I've come to love. My caps made with decarbed gange come out way better.

AND if anybody is having trouble finding empty caps around where they live and dont want to order off the internet, just go to any health store or any store that sells vitamins, and buy the cheapest ones and just empty them out. It's pretty easy.

MVP...this would make me wonder if mine were cooked on high enough heat......

Good question Hound, I had these in the 225 F - 250 F range for almost 3 hours if I remember correctly. I took them on a light stomach (not empty, but definitely not full) and had a few beers at the show. Was a lot of fun, but surprised me when I woke up at 5am still buzzed. I might have taken the last 2 between 930-10pm, but I'm not sure...

What is your process for decarbing? Just part of that time in the oven at 325? Or did you actually do a decarbing process?

Oh, and when you said that you had yours at 325 the whole time - how long was that?

[Non]

do u think it's necessary to raise the temperature of the oil with the weed in it to 250 before turning it down?

also do u think 15-20 mins of cooking would be enough to get me high if I cooked about gram in coconut oil? I just dont want to wait 3 hrs
