The Definitive Green Dragon (Revised, Updated, Combined)

[FreeVenice]

ok, here it is, how does it look. . .

[Cannabisaurus]

Has anyone tested the potency over an extended amount of time? How long are you able to keep this stuff before or if it goes bad?

[jrs212]

My first try at Green Dragon is a success. I used 2 oz. of Everclear, 1/8 oz of good bud. At 8:00 A.M. I mixed 1 gr. of Dragon with 1 shot of Mtn. Dew. I now have a nice, maintainable buzz going on now. Tomorrow morning I will try 1 1/2 gr. The experiment goes on.

damn i reallly wanan try this, but im just as curious as the people above me on storage times..how long can i keep it in the fridge before it separates? or does it separate at all?

cause damn, 30 hits of this shit sohould last at least like..30 days rite?:P i dont wanna be making a batch this size if it goes bad in like 2 days or something, you know?

anyone have personal experiences with this issue?

I've kept a batch around for 3 months and it still works fine. Just make sure you store in a dark place. Also, it never separates (as far as i can tell). :jointsmile:

Ummm I didnt feel like reading past the first page, so I dont know how many times this question has been answered, but...

To the people curious of what a water bath is... Watch "Menace 2 Society" again. You get a saucepan and put a couple of inches of water in it and put it on the stove to simmer. Put your weed and alcohol in an uncapped mason jar and place the jar in the pan so that the heated water heats up the mason jar. Get it??


As far as the THC evaporating with the other vapors... substances that evaporate do so because they have been heated to their vaporizing point. Waters boiling point is 212F but it begins to steam much sooner than that. The vaporizing point of THC is about 375-380, and since the simmer is less than half that, no. The THC is safe from evaporating with the rest of the alcohol and water.

By water bath I'm assuming that you put the mason jar of alcohol/weed in a boiling pot of water. Am I correct about this?

Man, if this stuff is really as potent as you would make it seem I'll have to try it.

But I won't be using Everclear, even though I could. It seems too dangerous to have that much Everclear near something that hot. Everclear is 95% alcohol (190 proof) for those who don't have it where they live. Very very very flammable.

[LargeToker37]

Crap. I thought there was only one page of this. Well, I guess I will use Everclear if this many people have had success with it.

Also, while reading this topic I thought something. Some of the people here may be having problems because they are measuring the temp. of the water during the water bath process instead of the temp. of the weed/alcohol mix. It might be worth 2 or 3 degrees difference. Just a thought.

I am very surprised that no one has asked Master Wu to check his facts regarding the temps THC actually begins to vaporize.

He claims that THC begins to vaporize at 380F(195C). Well THC actually begins to vaporise from as low as 280F(140C). Hell my Volcano is set to vaporise at 360F(180C)!!!

I would strongly suggest that you should in fact use a temp below 280F to get the most out of your bud. Apart from this..It is an interesting thread.
