I have had success making caps in the past and want to try your method. I used to use a toaster oven set @ 175F and put a candy thermometer in the mix to monitor. I try to keep it around the 175-185 range for about an hour total, stirring it a couple times throughout. I usually do it next to my computer while I play Counter-Strike and mix when I have time.

I'm going to use about 25g of $170/oz buds (I need some to use in the vape while cooking :jointsmile to make the caps. I was wondering how much coconut oil to use. Before I've used enough olive to cover the ground bud and make it into a paste (about .48 tablespoons per gram I read somewhere).

What do you guys use to eyeball the amount of oil needed? (probably posted 5 times already but I must of missed it)
Hi Dr Hashman

I just did a quick calculation (but you'd best check my figures, as it's past my bedtime lol).

If you take 25 grams of weed and divide it by 1.5 grams (the amount needed for twelve capsules) you get roughly 16 and 1/2 portions. Making a total of about 198 capsules. you lucky dog!

7 grams of oil per 12 capsules means you'll need about 115 grams in total.
One tablespoon is approx 15 grams, so I think you'll need about 7 and an half tablespoons of oil in total.

Phew, my brain needs rest. Damn this short term memory loss lol.

Hope this helps and good luck with it, the only thing I would watch out for are the serrated leaves in the mix, they can contain microscopic thorns that can irritate the stomach.

Cheers flame :thumbsup:
