Ratio of Vaped Bud for Ganja Butter?

[skanking1121]

I'm about to make my second batch of the ganja butter and was wondering if my idea of using two oz. of vaped bud will be good per stick. So 2 oz./stick and I wanna make two sticks. What's your peeps thoughts on this? haha

Don't know if this is gonna help ya, but I saw a great recipe for firecrackers using vaped bud and it called for 5g per serving.

That isn't enough butter. You have to remember that you will lose some of the butter during the straining process. I usually wait until I have about 1-2 ounces of vaped buds and combine with 1 1/2 pounds of butter and I usually end up with just about 1 pound of amazing, clean cannabutter. Make sure you read stinkyattic's thread on how to make a "clean" cannabutter because it works great.:hippy:

So then if I wanted to split up 4 oz, how many should it be per stick? And does that other thread work for making the butter with vaped bud too? It seems like it would, but don't wanna fuck this up haha

For 4oz use 3-3.5 lbs of butter. Yes it works for vaped buds because I've made it and got really high.:hippy:

What if I used only a pound of butter with the 4oz? That'd just make it uber tastier ehhhh? :hippy:

I imagine it would be nice and strong. It depends how much you plan on using. I love cannabutter & jelly toast so I like to have more butter to use daily.:hippy:

Wouldn't it stand to reason that if you are getting more THC out of your vape duff, then you aren't vaping all your weed? My understanding was that the vaporizers big attraction was it's ability to extract almost 100% of THC from herb.

So if you were vaporizing all your bud, then making butter out of the duff, shouldn't all the THC already be gone?

Just some food for thought, I believe that you make it and that it works well, just curious if you weren't getting all the punch out of the vape, that's all.

You are correct about the loss of THC but there are things I do to preserve it. For starters, I will vape at lower temps so that not all the active compounds are released. Then. as I've mentioned in other threads, if I know I'm going to be making cannabutter, I only vape 2-3 bags which gets me plenty high. I could keep vaping and get the usual 5-7 bags per 0.4g of bud but I conserve when it's cannabutter time. I hope that helps clear things up.:hippy:

Just looking for something like that in the thread. Clears it up perfectly. I just pictured in my mind, a bunch of people, and they all vaped the crap out of their herb. They went to make butter and the butter was worthless, then they all mobbed me for not bringing it up.

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