Ok, let me run down my process and maybe I am doing something wrong. Or, if you know how to concentrate more, please advise.

1/4 oz top buds, heat for 5 min at 350. Grind to powder. 2 tablespoons of the oil, and heat in a double broiler (covered) for about 4-5 hours. Take the whole concoction and squeeze thru a filter and the use an eyedropper to to fill the caps. I take 2 capsules every 6-12 hours. Would like that to be one.

I have been having to supplement with smoking. I just had a stent placed in my heart and I really should not smoke at all. I will miss the sudden surges, but it was godawful bad having heart pain.

I have to take a plane trip soon, and feel uncomfortable taking smokeable stuff with me, whereas I can pretty well cover up the pills.
My cannacaps mixture is less than a 20% fill on an 0 cap, even for an average 3X high tolerance dose.

I mix 10 grams of honey oil with three grams of virgin unrefined coconut or MCT oil, and fill to silly putty consistency with corn starch, about 22 grams.

Using our current strains, a 3X high tolerance dose is aproximately 200 miligrams. A gram scale weighing to .1 grams is not accurate enough. If you don't have a milligram scale, you can use a ammunition grain scale at 7000 grains to the pound vis a vis 452.8 grams to the pound.

You can replace the corn starch with other dry ingredients to further enchance the medicinal effect.

For this discussion, when I refer to a dose, I refer to the average amount that it took to achieve symptom relief for an averate low tolerance person.

Our local testing suggests that the average high tolerance person requires about 3X that amount to achieve the same effect.

PS, I decarboxylate the BHO at 240F in a hot oil bath.
