I grind mine up and make simple peanut butter/nutella firecrackers. You can also just mix it into peanut butter and let it sit.
You do it the same way you would with normal edibles, you just don’t have to decarb and you wanna use a little more vaped weed than the recipe calls for.
The BadKat recipe beats them all. Decarb 240 F for 40 minutes. 5 grams of Kief or Hash or Powdered Buds or Concentrate 1 tablespoon Coconut oil 1//2 teaspoon Lecithin Heat 220 F for 20 minutes Freeze Heat 220 F for 20 minutes Done. With Buds 1 drop = 1mg ABV will be lower Kief-Hash 1 drop = 3mg BNW
I like to grind my ABV to a fine powder with a coffee grinder, then add to the brownie mix. Don't under-estimate the power of ABV! While it's true it has much less THC than the same weight unit of fresh buds, it has a lot of "other stuff" (cannabinoids with high vape temps) that makes you relaxed and sleepy. Don't forget that herb loses much of its mass during the vaping process, so if you have 1g of ABV, it didn't start its life as 1g of herb; it took more like 3 or 4g of flower to make that 1g of ABV. Someone can double-check my math, but I feel like, if I use a quarter (7g) of ABV to make a pan of brownies, they've actually got the "sleepy stuff" from more like an oz of fresh flower? ABV edibles don't make me go "OMG! Dark Side of the Moon is the best album ever!!" but they definitely give me a great night's sleep (and a good poop the next day).
So, just mix up the vaporizer leavings with brownie mix and that's it? Or mix the ABV into peanut butter? Is that all there is to this?
I simply grind the ABV real fine and add this powder to the dry brownie mix. Then I add a little extra oil and/or water than the recipe calls for (not a lot but just a splash) to compensate for the extra dry ingredients. And bake as directed, you can tell they're done if you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. The chocolate from the brownie mix does a nice job disguising the toasted cannabis flavor. If you grind up a big jar of ABV and keep it in the pantry, then you can get consistent-dose edibles from batch to batch. Some people do like to "decarb" their ABV, or a partial/modified decarb procedure. There may be some truth to that. I have heard the optimum decarb is 40 minutes at 240F, and that is certainly much longer and cooler than I run my vape. I have experimented both ways (decarb vs no decarb) but my results are inconclusive. Decarb is definitely not necessary with ABV but it might give some boost to potency or efficiency, I can't say for sure. Vaping and decarb are kind of opposite chemical processes: The goal of decarb is to activate the THC whereas the goal of vaping is to extract the THC. You are correct, that you don't necessarily need to cook the ABV into a recipe. You can just eat it with some fatty food (like peanut butter) and it will have an effect. For example sometimes when I'm feeling super lazy and want to zone out in front of the TV, I get a drive-through cheeseburger and sprinkle a gram of ABV into the melted cheese. It tastes pretty disgusting but it does seem to give me a little bit of a buzz. Reminds me a bit of the times in college, I tried scraping and smoking the resin out of my bong, that kind of "stupid" stoned sensation. Lastly but not leastly, there are ways to make various tinctures and capsules from ABV, so it is possible to get it into your digestive system without eating a dessert or edible, if you choose. For example if someone is sick and has low appetite or nausea, they need some relaxation but they aren't hungry for a brownie, an ABV tincture would be perfect for them. Oh and one final comment, is that the quality of your ABV edibles is directly proportional to your vaping habits. I like to take 1 or 2 hits at a medium temperature, and then set my golden straw-colored buds aside for later edible-making. So really I am just giving myself a quick dose of the surface THC, and there is still plenty of good stuff left over in my ABV, which is golden-brown like fried chicken. On the other hand if you like to take a dozen hits at 400+ degrees, and your ABV is chocolate brown in color, then your edibles will be proportionately weaker than mine.
OIh shit someone is in a legal state from the 5 states that got it eh? Grats So ABV is that, already vaped bud. It is THC activated from the extreme heat you vaped it at (I do 420-460 F) Once it is brown to dark brown, I forget How much is in there (percent wise for THC and other binoids), but still fucking enough to get you somewhere! I know, I have eaten ABV as it was and 7 grams when I ate it had me flying. Though that was a year ago. Toss that shit into your fat of choice (Butter, Ghee, oil) I would prolly do about 2-4 ounces of ABV to about 2 cups? 4 cups? Play around. It is weaker then normal bud. Also, you should know (hopefully!) roughly what your bud was prior to vaping. And what you vaped at. And what you used to vape with. To many variables sure. But I had to learn it. lol
I find the comparatively less THC "remaining" in the ABV to be slightly balanced by how much drier/easier accessible the remaining THC is. Kind of how like a piece of fresh tea wouldn't disperse all that readily into water, but prep and dry it and look at it flow. I mean yeah, less accesible THC total, but what's there is like more physically accessible.
I like where mine is atm. They seem pretty damn good (Lume) MI brand. Has a satisfying crunch as you grind it. And you grind it in like two turns left to right each. Or something. its sweet. I got some after for the vape I use.
Thanks. I will try this as soon as possible. Kinda want to wait to talk about this till January but curiosity got the better of me.
right on, but I use a Arizer V Tower with ddave mods. And at those temps on this machine, at least for me, then again I haven't tried anything lower then 420 (After buying the ddave mod). I'll mess around with a fresh load and see. I have to agree though, minimum is at least like you say 311, but again this is variable as fuck.
Hey Rich, I have two guides on cooking with vape leftovers. First things first though AVB tastes bad, so I have found that if I water cure the AVB it makes for MUCH MUCH better tasting edibles. Here is the guide I wrote on water curing avb: How To: Water Cure Your Already Vaped Bud (AVB) ⋆ Vaporizer Wizard Next I did a guide on making chocolate chip cookies that might interest you as well: How To: Make Chocolate Chip Cookies with AVB Cannabutter! ⋆ Vaporizer Wizard
Making edibles using vaporizer leftovers is a great way to utilize the remaining cannabinoids in your herb. Here's a simple method to make edibles from vaporizer leftovers: Collect the leftovers: Gather the AVB (Already Vaped Bud) or ABV (Already Been Vaped) material from your vaporizer or gravity bong. This is the herb that has already been heated and is brown in color. Grind the leftovers (optional): If the AVB is not already finely ground, you can use a grinder to break it down into smaller pieces. This step is not necessary, but it can help with the extraction process. Decarboxylation: Vaporizing your herb partially decarboxylates it, but for edibles, it's important to fully decarboxylate the AVB to activate the cannabinoids. Preheat your oven to around 220-240°F (105-115°C). Spread the AVB evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake it for about 30-45 minutes. This step converts the inactive THCA into the active THC. Infusion: Once the AVB is decarboxylated, you can infuse it into a fat or oil of your choice. Popular options include coconut oil, butter, or olive oil. Melt the desired amount of fat or oil on low heat, and then add the decarboxylated AVB. Stir well to ensure even distribution. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer on low heat for at least 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. This allows the cannabinoids to fully infuse into the fat or oil. The longer you simmer, the more potent the final product will be. Strain: After simmering, strain the mixture using a cheesecloth, fine-mesh strainer, or a coffee filter to remove any plant material. Squeeze out as much of the infused fat or oil as possible. Use the infused fat or oil: The infused fat or oil can now be used in various edible recipes. You can use it to make brownies, cookies, gummies, or any other recipe that calls for fat or oil. Just replace the regular fat or oil in the recipe with your infused version.
