oils not hard to store at all plus like i said if you got time put it in to some capsules (lots of health food comes in capsules if your like me and cant find the empty caps easily... ya just empty the origional contents out... theres heaps of different sizes i use the caps from this joint relief pills) and eat it or scoop some out and spot it or put ut on a joint or cone whatever ya want..

so theres a way to store little quantities.
i use lids and shit.

as for tincture its up to you really... to me just an alcohol extraction method without evaporating the alcohol out..

the question is do you want a stronger tincture or a nice accompanyment to the drink.
remembering most drinking alcohol is generally weak alcohol percentage too. and you could also use more alcohol and evaporate some out to make it stronger per shot.... most people make it either relatively weak ie a decent bud in a bottle. others like to put as much as the can in it... me i look at the bud and alcohol ratios and put a bit more than however many cones i think id want each shot to be remembering i want twice the amount at least when i eat it ........HAHA STONER RATIOS... but in all honesty i wouldnt go over 40 bud/60 alcohol id assume there would be waste...
hopefully someone else could give better specifics... sorry but tinctures not my thing.. only done it couple of times and i like to play with my own measurments
i tought maself most of this crap after hearing about it and things like that

like i said treat it like an alcohol extraction but remember that the alcohol your usings not as strong and wont be able to extract as big of a volume.. heres some ratios i see other people say ill also post a page of a website for ya

what others say

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A standard tincture is at a ratio of one gram of cannabis to 35ml (1 ounce) of pure grain ethanol. At this strength, a dosage of 1.4ml of extract (2 squirts) mixed with water is barely noticeable, although it is a very effective appetite stimulant.

Tincture:
Preparing a tincture with vodka can be used topically, sublingually or internally. Tincture Recipe
You will need:
Glass jar- 1 quart mason jar is ideal but any size will do.
3 parts ground marijuana. Leaf bud or shake.
4 parts high proof alcohol. Everclear or Vodka.
To make Tincture:
Fill jar ¾ full of herb
Fill rest of jar with alcohol; leave some room at top stir.
Shake jar one or two times a day for 2 weeks.
Strain through metal tea strainer or silkscreen.
You can use whatever kind of clean glass, not plastic, jar you have with a tight lid. One-quart mason jars are ideal. Grind the herb thoroughly in a blender. It should be well ground but doesn’t have to be a powder. You can use leaf, bud, shake, joint leftover, or stems. Too many stems will wreck your blender and a weaker tincture. Leaf work fine but for higher potency use shake or bud. Fill the jar ¾ full of herb; it does not have to be exact. You can use anywhere from ½ to 2/3 part herb but ¾ will make a full strength tincture. Use the highest proof alcohol you can, Everclear, which is 180 proof, but hard to find. So just use the highest proof Vodka you can find. Pour alcohol over the herb, filling the rest of the jar. Leave just enough space (an inch or so) at the top so that you will be able to shake the jar. Stir the mixture; the herb will absorb some of the alcohol so you may need to add more. Put the lid on tightly; label the contents and the date you started. It takes two weeks for the alcohol to extract all the active elements from the herb. Shake the jar once or twice a day for 2 weeks. The alcohol will rise to the top and a deep green/red color will develop. After 2 weeks of aging you can strain the tincture through a metal tea strainer or a silk screen into a small tincture bottle with a dropper. You can leave the rest in the jar if you want, it will age and mellow in flavor and you can strain off as much as you want at a time. Alcohol is a strong preservative it will hold for a long time, be careful when handling the tincture, it satins and will turn everything it comes in contact with green. Use Ultra Palmolive anti-bacterial dish soap, the orange kind, to clean the glass, metal or other ceramic utensils, (do not use plastic) sinks and counter tops works best at dissolving THC residue.
Dosage varies per individual but start with half a dropper dissolved in hot tea or water. Hot tea will dissipate some of the alcohol and activate the THC a bit. It can be taken straight but may burn the tongue and has a very strong herbal taste. Enjoy and be well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The recommended minimum cannabis to alcohol ratio is one gram of bud per 35ml (one fluid ounce). Some prefer up to seven grams per 35ml but others might find this too strong. Individual needs vary. Cautious experimentation is the key.
