ISO oil

hey guys , I apologize if this has been covered before but I just made a small batch of ISO oil from about 10 gs of really good bud , actuslly about 5 different strains tossed in . I did the 2 washes with ISO but admitted I didn't freeze the alcohol for long or the weed due to reasons I couldn't control , so I let it evap on its own mostly but it was taking long a I didn't spread it thin enuf , I had it in a jar . So I used a plug in heater with fan to get it evap till it thickened up really good like RSO and smelled crazy potent , I wasn't convinced though I had all the alcohol gone and I didn't have anywhere to slowly heat it and because it's a small amount I just used a lighter under the glass and I was right , alcohol started bubbling fast so I removed heat and stirred it around a bit and then applied heat a few more times till it got so thick it would barely move . After cooling it's so thick now it's basically like shatter . I know this is a butcher job and I shoujd of waited till I had somewhere better to do it but I wanted it for pain relief . I still have it in the jar as I need to get a blade to scrape it out but being that it's so thick is it safe now to assume I got all the alcohol? I was thinking of trying to put in on a larger surface area of Glass and try to warm it to see it if bubbles more but i don't think it will . I know the lighter heat wasn't the right way and it's crazy hot but am I safe to assume it's decarbed ? If not how can I be sure now ? I don't want to keep heating it and ruin the potency . I'm considering trying to soften it and mix with ejuice for my vape or mix with coconut oil and make pill capsules ? Any thoughts on best way or maybe i shoujd just dab it . I was really hoping for a more oil consistency like RSO or even C2O oil so I can put direct in vape ? Also if I have a 5 grammer of RSO (Iso oil ) or C2O oil how can I be sure it's been decarbed or how should I decarb after I get it ? Because it's a small amount would just heating it a few times with a lighter while in the glass vial work . Also I noticed mixed results when making capsules with oil I bought ( good potency oil ) , is it maybe not decarbed , or is it because I'm not making a solution with coconut oil or something else ? 1 last ? Lol , if I want to mix a 5 grammer or maybe 10 grams with coconut oil for edibles or capsules how much coconut oil should I use as the Oil is obviously higher thc than just bud as its already an extract ? Sorry for long write and for my butcher methods lol . I won't attempt again till I'm better set up . I just wanted to try a small batch to make a few grams using pure bud in 20% thc range to compare to What I got elsewhere but I'm a bit dissapointed in texture as I wanted to spread on paper like RSO etc but seems most want the texture I got lol so I shouldn't complain . Gotta go get some parchment now as obviously I can't use a syringe or vial now like I hoped . Thanks

 

I honestly don't know the temp but it got really bubbling till I thought all the solvent was out and I let it sit and then heated again , did this 3 or 4 times till it wouldn't bubble anymore , it's really hard now to the point it snaps off in pieces , I tried a micro dab and it actually tastes decent , not harsh at all and was very potent . I might try to put a piece in a capsule to see if I get any affects like that . If not I will just dab it . Was thinking of diluting in ejuice to put in vape or dilute in coconut oil but I will wait to do it another time . Plus I don't like the idea of putting ejuice in it . Thanks and sorry for all the ?s

 

For this batch yes I will just dab it but I really like smoking it on paper as well but I can get 5 grammer of RSO and C2O for that but I want something to take as capsules etc for pain as sometimes I can't smoke and I'm thinking something strong to ingest might help pain better than smoking .

 

Thanks guys . The oil was already extremely thick but still liquidy on the center of the jar where it collected thicker so I used a lighter underneath the glass jar just to get it bubbling and then I removed the heat and kept stirring until it stopped and I repeated this a few times until no bubbles formed but I do agree about the flame for safety and consistent temps so I won't be doing it again until I'm set up better . Actuslly next time I will likely use some source of heat to speed it up but also to keep it a bit sappy so i can spread on paper as well .

 

1 quick ? If I use a rice cooker or something along those lines like maybe a double boiler to evap faster this normally leaves it softer like I want but how do I know I heated it enuf to decarb it . Or should I decarb the weed 1st . I know it takes away from taste etc but I want to be able to make capsules as many times I can't smoke

 

Thanks for the info , lots of good info there . With just over 1.5 grams left on this batch I will just dab or smoke on paper , it's so thick though that's is very close to shatter but softens more if u handle it where bb ho shatter I can play with it and shape it , it makes I tough to spread on papers unless you warm the needle often enuf to keep it soft to spread but was worth the effort , it gets me a good buzz either way but I noticed it is a bit more sedative than the CO2 stuff I get off my buddy but i was maybe higher longer and seemed better for pain but not sure yet . I used heat at the end with a lighter under the jar I had it in just to be safe I got it all and it bubbled up good , I did it a few times to be sure and it no longer bubbled at all so I'm wondering if it decarbed enuf or at all , I think it may have affected the taste a bit though as it has the RSO taste which uses heat to disolve all the alcohol . 2Moro I will try a capsule to see if I get a buzz . Either eay though I'm not going to try and decarb more .

 

Actually I thought of that but was thinking it wouldn't get hot enuf . Do u eat as is or mix in a cocunut oil or something simular as I hear it helps the body absorb the thc better !

 

I only have a bit left 1.5 g maybe , that is getting me high in splifs so I might just wait till next time I make it or when I get C2O oil . Mine gives a decent high in splifs but I could of done a better job with taste , I think due to a long soak . I will improve I'm sure lol , thanks

 

That's what I thought but I've read the fat helps the body absorb the thc better but I know lots of people that are RSO like it is . I didn't find it that strong when I made a few capsules with dispensary bought RSO which was fairly potent smoking but had stronger for sure . RSO is made using heat so it should be decarbed enuf . I also found the CO2 oil weak in capsules as well but I hear it don't decarb while making ? But so far even edibles like jelly bombs and chocolate bars ( ate small amount) and the thc pop all weak but I've smoked weed and hash and oils for 30 plus years so might be my tolerance but I don't need much when smoking or vaping so not sure why ? Any thoughts ?

 

Thanks I will check it out
