Grandpa Gets Oily! Everclear Extracts For Shatter Or Oil!

I’m a real puss when it comes to taking a shot like that. I don’t know why. Always have had a problem with it. I can do capsules or gummy’s with no issues, but liquid causes me problems for some reason. Even just a little bit and I gag. It would be easier in a shot glass...takes time to fill capsules. LOL!

I can handle the taste, but I’m not fond of it...when I make tinctures, but mixing with juice might just dilute it enough for me to swallow. I’m going to give that a shot...no pun intended. :Namaste: Thanks!

I measure out my dose of tincture in a shot glass, add two drops of liquid stevia sweetener, and then add water to fill shot glass. It’s dilute enough and sweet enough that I can just down the shot with no problem.

So you folks don't do the sublingual thing at all--just straight into the tummy; I will have to try that to see if it's different from holding under tongue and then swallowing.

A question that's really been on my mind: Can you feel the tincture later in the day? I always love my early-morning tincture on an empty stomach, but I don't feel the high later on in the day unless I've been fasting.

I use tincture as an edible. I tried sublingual, but the alcohol tincture burns too much for me. Perhaps if it were a glycerine it work would better for me with sublingual.

I have a vague recollection that most of what is absorbed with sublingual tinctures is actually absorbed after you swallow it.
 
That may be true, Shed. I know some chemicals can be absorbed through the oral mucosa, like nitroglycerin, but I haven't seen anything other than anecdotal evidence that it's effective for cannabis extracts.
 
I'd bet @SweetSue would know! If it does transport through the oral mucosa it would go right into the bloodstream and bypass the liver on the first pass. That would be good, right?

It would be, but I'm pretty sure it was in one of her threads that I read it. I think it was from a GreenFlowerMedia vid.
 
150 proof is only 75% alcohol. 25% is water which you need to boil off at a higher temperature. Run the moonshine through a reflux column and get it up to 95% alcohol or 190 proof if you can.

Or buy Extractohol! 200 Proof. Why waste good 'shine?

It would't be a waste if it was recovered. It's also a lot cheaper - if you make it yourself. The CO2 from fermentation could also be put to good use.
