1/4oz of bubble hash into 2 oz. of orange extract. How potent?

Hi, I am experimenting with making a sublingual tincture where one drop is roughly equal to a bong hit.

I had about 7 grams of bubble hash made from high quality pineapple express and northern lights trim and popcorn. I dissolved it into 2 oz of Watkins Pure Orange Extract, which is 89% alcohol.

Can anyone give me an idea of how much I should reduce this before it is near my desired potency?

Here is what I was thinking:

I start with 2 oz of tincture (16 drams)

if I reduce to under 1 oz, I will have 7 drams, or one gram of hash per dram. Each dram is 3.6 ml and has about 55 drops. I will put the tincture in 1 dram dropper bottles. Will 3 or 4 drops of this tincture do the trick?

Thanks for any info. I think it is really important to try to find some standards for dosages so medical users can know what to expect.

(the attached pics are my PE plants. I really like the strain. I got about 4 oz. from each of the two plants.)

Just an FYI if anyone searches up this topic. I simmered the hash and 190 proof orange extract tincture from 2 oz down to 1.3 or so. It is dark and thick and still has sediment in it. I wonder if I should strain it through my 86 or 20 micron screen?

I spilled about 6 drops onto my hand and I lapped it up so this should be a good test of the potency.

Woohooo it's already kicking in 15 minutes later. Good thing I have the Pink Floyd channel on Pandora! This is my first tincture high so I am quite pleased! I can feel it right down to my fingertips.

The orange flavor helps to make the earthy taste of the hash slightly more palatable. I just lapped it up instead of taking it sublingually so it was pretty bad, almost stomach turning.

I think I'm close to my desired potency LOL!

Just a followup, I would not recommend using orange extract. I would also not recommend using hash in tinctures. The extract is 89% alcohol but caused several problems. The hash did not dissolve well into it.

I tried to steam off some of the alcohol but it seemed to curdle or something and turn milky. I boiled it down some more and it is ok but all-in-all it was a waste of my hash.

I'm testing glycerin tinctures now.

Moral of the story, nothing beats a nice hit from a clean, freshly iced bong!
