I've wanted to try making glycerine tincture and I have an MB2, so I will give this a shot. Did you filter the glycerine before you stored it in the fridge or was the weed in it the whole two months?

In glycerin, you'll want to stay on the lowest heat setting and decarb in the oven for 220-225, 20 min, 30 if fresh, covered (sealed tight) with tin foil. Allow oven to cool slowly after time is up before you take it out. While the mb2 does decarb, it does not do so as fully as pre decarbed goods. A large difference in potency should be noticed. Also, if already decarbed, an hour is plenty long. Doing this takes out the guess work on if your mb2 is declaring correctly at certain temps since this will activate the material and only really need to be mixed with a fatty substance like glycerin, oil or whatever else you may like.

with the mb2, i ran a batch of 2 oz coconut oil to 2 oz of bud. when i first made it, i could take 10 capsules and be high but not stoned. after a couple months, i took 8 and it was too much. i want to get it to where i'm only eating 2 or 3 capsules per dose.
i am about to run another batch and i will make it one oz of coconut oil to 2 oz of bud (i use lectitin and do everything else MB2 people recommend, i freeze it etc.). after doing some reading, i think i'll decarb this batch then run it through the MB2.
it's annoying that there is some question in my mind as to how effective the MB2 is at decarbing.
that being said, i'm definately a fan of the machine.

That is my biggest complaint too. We need someone in a legal state to get their weed tested, make butter in the MB-2, and get that tested. That way we could see if all the THC-A is converted or not.

i dried out 1.5 oz of 3 month old bud and ground it pretty finely. i was waiting for some new coconut oil (67% sat fat) and the ground up bud sat around for 2 days and dried out. i then decarbed it at 250 for 28 minutes. i put it and 8 oz (1 cup) of oil into the machine along with lecithin. it didn't come up to the minimum fill line. ARGHHHHH!
so i pulled out some much more moist buds, ground up another 1.5 oz BY HAND IN MY WOOD GRINDER (very annoying) and decarbed it at 250 for about 34 minutes because it was much moister. no particular reason i went to 34. added another 8 oz of coconut oil and ran the MB2.
my first batch was essentially 1.5 oz of bud to 16 oz of oil and then i added another 1/2 oz of bud to about 8 oz of the already made canna oil.
this batch is double that. 3 oz of bud to two oz of coconut oil.
i froze it last night. it's unfrozen and i i have 6 caps made up and have a few hundred more to make if i like it.
i'm going to try 2 or 3 capsules after my nap today. i did the math and every 3 capsules is equal to a bit more than .5 gram. i didn't want it too strong and this way i can tweek the dosage up or down.
here's how i calculated:
http://michiganmedicalmarijuana.org/topic/32532-calculating-dosage-how-to-do-the-math/
i never decarbed before so i'm very curious and a bit cautious as to how this high will be. i ate too much once and i don't ever want to do that again.
this genetic is an orange crush. from what i've read about orange crush, it's just an ok high but this one is special. i flower for 70 days. i love her long time.
next time, i'll do a clone only cut of white fire (WIFI) that is very sweet too.
and yes, i'm a bad picture taker.
this is newer stuff that needs trimming and curing but it's the same genetic:
dried 1.5 oz in a cookie pan before decarb:
after decarb:
this is the 2nd 1.5 oz that was decarbed:
I just realized that this isn't quite as dark as the drier first batch. makes sense. i should have gone a few more minutes maybe.
here it is, it's just getting firm and about to be put into the fridge and then the freezer.
these capsules are much darker in real life than shows in this picture. these suckers are dark dark.
6 down, a few hundred to go.
a spoonful of love:
i should have taken a picture of the mush that was what was left of the cannabis. i'm not sure how it being ground up affects it being done in the MB2. they do say not to grind up your medicine.
the first time i ran a batch of 1.5 oz of bud, there was a lot more material left over to squeeze
than from this 3 ounces of bud. the mush was almost like an ooze. very easy to squeeze the oil out of it.
i threw out the capsules of the first batch but i still have some in a bottle. i might try it as a topical on a sore elbow i have. i just don't want to put a bunch on my elbow and an hour later find myself getting way too high.

Endpro, So that first hour at 220. Before the actual 4 hr from the tinc feature. Did you heat up the herb only or was the alcohol/glycerin already added?

Thank u good sir. I receive my mb2 tomorrow. I'll be posting up some pics. I will try making a glycerin tincture and coconut oil infusion and see what works best for my vape pens, since I don't see much info on that. And some alcohol tinc too for some cheeba chews & caramel squares that I'll be making.
Ps. Using 8oz of schwag to experiment with, low cost

Would love to see your base recipe and how you use the MB2 to make it. i make mead but not weed mead, pls share!
Sweet, be sure and post up the recipes so we can give them a shotThank u good sir. I receive my mb2 tomorrow. I'll be posting up some pics.

i'm pretty happy with this batch of oil. 4 caps (00 size) get me to that perfect place, which equals about .75 of a gram per dose. it doesn't get me stoned, it gets me nicely high. 6 of them would get me stoned. i have about 12 oz of the oil. that's about 90 highs where i won't have to bake cookies or firecrackers.
i figure if i ate the pot, the 3 oz would equal about 112 highs (at .75 g per high). i'm pretty happy with this return. if my math is off, i blame it on this lovely high i have.
i keep eyeing my 3 or 4 ounces of vaped weed and wondering if i should turn it to oil. i would love something that could help me sleep for those times when i can't. rare but it happens.
and by the way, before i got he MB2 machine i did a lot of reading and people were quoting stuides that indicated that medicine is more "bioavailable" if you take your dose 45 to 60 minutes after eating a meal. so i did that i couple times and then i just ate the dose on an empty stomach the last couple of times. i don't feel a lick of difference. maybe it's just me.

I filtered the gylercine before I stored in the fridge. I stored it for 2 months before trying it because I honestly forgot about it.
Now I have shared it with friends and they love it. 1 or 2 teaspoons and you are good to go. I did add 2 table spoons of lecithin to the glycerin and herbs, it gives it a sweet taste. I call it honey oil.

i took about 100 grams of vape poo (makes me chuckle when i see it called that) and made some oil using 2 oz of coconut oil.
it came out darker than the bud oil which is to be expected. there was a large ball of what actually looked like dog shit left over after i squeezed the oil out. it was pretty dry but i only got 12 oz of vape oil out of 16 oz of coconut oil that i used. i didn't post the pic because it's disgusting looking. the odd thing is, when i did just about the same amount of bud (see earlier post) there was so little material left over it was almost non existant. this ball of crap was a bit smaller than a hardball. i have no idea why one would leave so little and one so much. maybe becasue the bud was decarbed first which made it more crumbly?
ima try some in the next couple of days. between the buds, the kief, the bud coco oil and the vape coco oil, i'm pretty much set for awhile.
