I found it at a pharmacy here. Second time i bought it. The first time the tincture came out very week. But i used subpar weed and it was harvested to early. So not sure why expected anything better.

This is actually for a ecig tincture. I heard alot of people raving that it works. So i will cure as normal. And i was thinking if decarbing in the oven too? Not sure if good idea.

Decarb after you extract, dont attempt to extract with the glycerin. Dissolve extracted trichomes by slowly adding them to heated glycerin. Make sure it is all completely in solution

As to curing, its not necessary

Qwizo, thx for clearing up the curing question.

Secondly, excuse my ignorance, but how do i decarb after extraction?

This is the process i used the previous time.

Took a mason jar and the plant material and the glycerin went into the jar. I then had the jar in a slow cooker with water and kept the water under boiling for aboit i hours. After the 8 hours i let it cool down and strained our the glycerin.

Because its so slow to extract alot of time and heat is necessary and as it absorbs the dissolution rates slow. Youll never be able to get it fully saturated.

If you have the means, a simple qwiso or qwet can be used to extract the majority. This hash oil can then be decarbed over a double boil. While decarbing it releases co2/h20 bubbles. Watching for the bubbles to slow lets you decarb without heating too much. Thats the cause for most butter and edibles to become more sedative. You preserve the cannabinoids in this way and retain more goodies
While allowing the highest concentration in the glycerin

If trying to make an ejuice, a simple ticture will no be strong enough. Go to the concentrates section and you will find what you need...

VG doesn't work well in ejuice as it separates from the oil. PG and PEG are better.

Best place to find VG and PG is Amazon by the gallon...
