Does anyone have specific measurements for oil to herb ratio? I tend to make mine with 3.5g of herb to about 6 tsp of oil. This usually results in a mix of about 50/50 herb to oil when I put it into the capsules. I fill the caps halfway with the cooled but still liquid oil by using a small measuring cup with a pouring lip. Then I use a knife to scoop up and put a small bit of herb in at a time until the cap is full. With the large amount of oil I don't have to compress it any to get the air out. Also because I do it this way I waste almost nothing. Just what is left in the coffee cup I use. Plus I don't get the caps covered in oil unless my hand shakes when I pour. It take a little extra time but I think it is worth it since I don't have greasy caps and they don't stick together when they solidify.

Would anyone have recommendations on how to improve this. I didn't get very in depth but I gave a basic outline of how I do it. I usually have to take a couple of these for them to work, but I also get about 25-28 caps so I'd say I get about 9 good doses. I can also just take one or 2 to get nice and mellow without getting totally blazed. I'm not really sure if I conserve herb this way though. I can make the eigth I used last about a week by smoking it. With this I will take about 3 pills and then smoke all day on top of it. For the amount of herb used it just doesn't seem to be as potent as I would expect. Although I do feel the effects for most of the day.
