I have a bottle of Nature's Way Liquid Coconut Oil and an 1/8 of cotton candy (I realize this is a very small amount... I'm thinking maybe a 1/2c oil if it covers the plant matter).
Recipes online have said to use solid coco oil because of the fatty acids it contains, but the Nature's Way bottle doesn't mention anything about lacking that fat content. It says that it has a higher percentage of MCT (93%), and that's why it's able to stay in liquid form. Does anyone have any experience using the liquid as opposed to the solid state with coco oil infusion?
My reasoning for wanting to use the liquid state is my previous cannabutter infusion. The ingestion/absorption time varied too much and took way too long at times, so I'm really desiring a liquid infusion recipe that I can take sublingually or just simply drink (alcohol infusions excluded) to speed up the onset of effects.
Side-note: I'm decarbing, double-boiling, and straining into dropper bottles.
**Edit: After doing further research here - http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/mct-oil-vs-coconut-oil-the-truth-exposed/ - and on the Nature's Way website, I've found that the longest chained acid of the 4 MCTs is lauric acid, which the Liquid Coconut Premium Oil product has had removed, and it's the acid that causes coco oil to solidify as well as contains the primary health benefits associated with coconut. So more specifically, my question is how well will the THC bind to the liquid product without it containing that magic lauric acid? I know it will still bind because there is an MCT sex lube called Foria, but I would imagine the recipe would call for a much higher amount of cannabis... sadly, im only rockin with an 1/8
