to reach the most potent MCT extraction

I've posted before asking about whether anyone has tried the method of exposing your MCT oil more than once to fresh batches of cannabis. When I'm done extracting a batch I take that same exposed MCT oil and use it again over a fresh batch of flower to increase it's potency. I've done this as many as three times. Wasteful you think? Well last years harvest was copious so there is plenty of pot to play with. However, it was not the most powerful, with THC levels about 12%. So I thought why not run the finished MCT oil over another batch of fresh flower to enrich it. I don't have testing facilities so I can only sample and guess. I do believe this to work, however I'm looking for either collaborative experiences or better yet a scientific explanation of how "heavy" MCT can get with absorbed components before it reaches a saturation point if there is any. Has anyone tried this multiple exposure technique? Does anyone know a "saturation point" of MCT oil? By the way, after considerable research, I've settled on MCT oil as the best carrier. I encourage you to read up on it. It's much healthier for you while having a greater ability to hold THC and with no taste and is used more efficiently by the body.

I've done a lot of batches with coconut oil and add some liquid sunflower lecithin after the initial extraction. If I want stronger I just use a higher ratio of pot to oil. For mellow 20:1 and strong at 10:1.

Link in my sig to my methodology.

I've only done one on some high CBD pot with MCT and it seems ok but nothing much different to me.

I save the 'puck' after straining then use that in smoothies. Just as strong as the oil so not tossing it out.

If I need more buzz I just eat more oil. Spread on a cookie or on toast with jam or honey and natural peanut butter. The coconut oil tends to clump up in a smoothie where the MCT stays in suspension.

Some people don't like the taste of coconut oil but I like it fine and use it for frying eggs or pancakes. Excellent for my cast iron griddle and stuff just slides off when done. Really good in stainless steel pans to prevent sticking.

:peace:

ALL of you need to look into MCT oil for it's benefits as opposed to any other commonly used cannabis oil extractor/holder. If just for its healthier benefits if nothing else. We can debate what medium works best for extracting the goodness from our product but it cannot be debated which of them is healthier for you. Especially as an athlete (still at 68) MCT hold a lot of calories that are quickly available yet do not convert to fat easily. Read up on it, you'll be glad you did.
"Is MCT oil better than coconut oil?
MCT oil can actually be derived from coconut, but it is a much more concentrated compound when compared to coconut oil. MCT oil contains 100% MCTs, whereas coconut oil only contains about 45% - 65% MCTs" and "Athletes sometimes use MCTs for nutritional support during training, to increase exercise performance, for decreasing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass, and for weight loss. MCTs are sometimes used to reduce levels of cholesterol and other fats in the blood called triglycerides." (from Google) AND IT HAS NO TASTE UNLESS ADDED SO IT CAN BE PUT WITH ANYTHING OR TAKEN DIRECTLY.
