My Caps Molded

I made a batch of canna oil using coconut oil instead of butter and then capped the oil in 000 size caps. I used the oil instead of butter figuring that coconut oil does not need to be refrigerated. I put the caps into a tupperware container in a dark, cool place (not refrigerated) and when I went to get one a week or so later, I found that the batch had molded.
What a pisser.... I guess I was mistaken in that they wouldn't mold? Do you think I did something wrong or was it just not the case that they could be kept without refrigeration?

wow can you post pics? sure you tossed em but I always heard that coconut was the oil to use since it does not go rancid... guess mold is worse... bummer how many did you loose??
I am awaiting my harvest and have always wanted to try the canna caps

it was only about 20 caps but it kills me to throw away even one. I don't dare mess with mold so I did throw them all away.
last time I made caps I used butter instead of oil and I kept them in the same place for a long time and they didn't mold

sorry that happened cant imagine must have been close to 10g loss huh?... did you at least try the caps on your skin??? like a salve?? I have heard salves/balms can take 2+ hours to work once applied??

That's really unfortunate dude... I've never tried making any cannacaps before, but now if I do I'll probably refrigerate them. Though as you said, who knows if that was even what caused you issues, I keep my coconut oil right next to my stove and it hasn't had any problems.

that's a great thought and one I wish I had had before I posted this as I have already discarded them.
Damn... why didn't I think of that?

I have used coconut oil for cooking for a couple years and have never refrigerated it and never had it go bad. Not sure if it was the oil or something else?
