bho cannacaps easy

Discussion in 'Weed Edibles' started by thatguyted, Dec 15, 2014.

  1. Hey so I've been making Bho cannacaps for a while now and I'd like to shed some light on it. To date I have made about 15 batches and since my first, I have drastically changed my mehtods. I'm no cannabis scientists so I'm not going to give the run down on what chemicals change to what, but the main point I want to emphasize is that decarbing your bho is 90% of the job. I want to just list my methods and if anyone has any constructive criticism I'd appreciate it. Since doing all these steps, the canna caps have come out really good and thats coming from A LOT of people.
    \nstep 1: I first get a very small pan to put on the stove top. I then fill that small pan with about 2 inches of vegetable or any other cooking oil. I then place a cooking thermometer in the oil and set the stove top to a low setting (my stove goes 1-10 and I set it to 2) 
    step 2: wait for that oil in the pan to reach between 240-250 degrees F. while that is going on, I measure out 3.5 grams of bho and place it on the bottom of a small mason jar.
    step 3: now you are ready to decarb your bho once the oil in the pan is 240-250. place the mason jar in the bath of cooking oil to create a double broiler type contraption. and watch as the oil will turn into a liquid and start to bubble. during this time I like to warm up my coconut oil in the sink with hot water to get it into a liquid.
    step 4: set a timer for 20 minutes and watch the bubbles on your bho as it decarbs. Once 15 minutes has passed, take your pan off the heat source and place it on a burner which is not on. Your bho should still be mildly bubbling at this point. wait for the oil bath to get to 220 on the thermometer.
    step 5: Once the oil is at 220, Get a typical syringe (or plunger) and add 1 and a half syringes full of coconut oil into the mason jarwith the decarbed oil. This typically makes 30 pills on the dot which i figure is about .1g each pill due to some weight lost during decarb. stir the mix every couple minutes for about 10 minutes or until the oil bath is about 150 degrees.
    step 6: take your mason jar out of the oil and let it cool down to around room temp. Then you can use the same syringe or plunger to fill your capsuls. No place near my campus sells empty capsules so i just buy supplements and empty them out.
    \nThis is the most recent method I use and it has been proven to work well with the last 5 or so batches. Before this method, I would just put my bho in a shot glass and put it in the oven at 250 for 30 minutes and then stir it into warm coconut oil. with the ranging temps in an oven, a lot of my batches varied between efficient and really weak. Decarbing with a thermometer and a controlled heat source is the best way to go. Bought my thermometer at a grocery store for like 3 bucks. Regardless of what method you use to decarb always make sure you mix the bho and coconut oil at a temp between 180 and 220. not really sure why but a lot of people have told me that and it seems to work. And it is also important to note that my doeses are based on my own tolerance and the quality of bho I use is not the best, but hey I get a pretty damn good price. These caps are awesome though, take 1 for during the day and I'm very high (but mellow) for about 4 hours. 2 caps is a bit too much for most of my friends who have tolerances to bho so be cautious.

     
  2. are you sealing the mason jar during decarb?
     
  3. have you tried gnc?
     
  4. Decarb your weed before you blast.

  5. I do not seal the mason jar. During the decarb, the bubbles you see are CO2 and escaping the bho. Plus with the heat and pressure difference, it could be dangerous to completely seal it.
     
  6. no need to decarb before blasting, the fact that you have to decarb the oil post-extraction ensures that it will be clean of solvent since its gonna need to be heated so high to activate it. I would just decarb the oil.
     
  7. Just heating the oil is not enough to purge it imo. decarb blast vac purge eat. Just my 2cents.
