Thanks dynamo...it's a growing list! Maybe there's a vacuum steam oven with a Soxhlet attachment?

Um, why? Outrunning a serial killer or?
I took my 2014 Camaro up to 95 mph on the HOV lanes in DC a couple years ago....got nailed by a cop with a radar, tapped the accelerator and outran him, because I could.
I sold it this year unfortunately, but it was probably a good idea.Now back to the chemistry discussion....sorry in advance! I have no idea what a lot of what you guys are talking about, but I do know salad dressing!
So, it sounds like @ChefDGreen might be saying that in order to infuse more bud/THC into oil you can infuse it but then also increase it by emulsifying additional oil into it?

To see if it could. And because there weren't any cops around.
LOL! You would never outrun CA Highway Patrol in a 2014 Camaro. Damn good thing you were in DC I reckon.
It sure sounds that way to me, but with LSL! And adding it after infusion boosts the THC levels per this research by @Cannasavvy.
Hey Hash Girl, I’m wondering if you’ve looked into making RSO? I’ve only watched a tutorial on how to make it, so I don’t know a ton about it, but it seems more in line with your level of dosage? Just a thought.
I'm supposed to be learning how to make hash and other concentrates. I have a thick book called HASHISH! by Robert Connell Clarke that I'm supposed to read but haven't gotten around to yet since during the cooler months, I find that too much reading makes me sleepy.
I have found a way to improve the final amount of oil after the infusion using the rosin press we bought last Christmas.
Honestly, it's really only the dose that is 12-14 capsules at a time that I'd like to change to one serving of some kind of edible that's not too high in calories. I don't mind taking 2 or 3 capsules at a time but sometimes, the last few ones of the 12-14 start sticking in my throat.
What is LSL?

Saves on some of those bedtime capsules then!
Edibles take the oil and dilute it with something else, raising both the number of calories and how much you need to eat. Something to consider.
Oof! That's a lot of sticking.
Liquid Sunflower Lecithin.
Except the bedtime capsules are also for pain relief.
Ahhh... Of course. Thank you.
Well, I was at 95 mph when I came around the corner on the restricted High Occupancy Vehicle lanes (open to the public non carpoolers until 1230 pm during the week) and he was out of his car with the radar gun. He ran for the car as I made the split second decision to tap the accelerator and my exit ramp was about a quarter mile up....I will admit my palms were sweaty and I totally expected a ticket in the mail or a cop at the door later, but it didn’t happen.
Why not a couple of large gummies? They are basically gelatin, no? Sugar free jello with regular jello isn’t a whole lot of calories....?

Phewf!
If your gummy recipe calls for .25 cups of oil and .75 cups of other liquids (corn syrup and water), then each gummy will hold only 25% of the THC that a capsule would hold of the equivalent volume. If you are used to taking 10 capsules you would now be eating 40 equivalent gummies!

Omg
Also, infusing rosin is a great idea. I believe @DonkeyDick does this too - someone else who needs the strong stuff.
I’m so proud!
One more question...in the calculations, does “efficiency” mean the difference between the oil you started with compared to what you ended up with? So if I started out with a cup of carrier oil, infused it, and ended up with 3/4 cup then my “efficiency” would be 75%?
Ummmmm..... at least you could chew them up and enjoy the flavor - and there is the sublingual high too...? Please note that I am not making light of HGs desire for something more potent in an easier dosing situation.

Grandpa Tokin has an instruction journal for making capsules from QWET rosin as well. Same process for turning it into capsules as the pressed stuff.
No. Efficiency related to how well the process does at removing the trichomes from the flower and getting it into the oil. I use 80% for the oven and 85% for the MB. The oil you didn't recover (that is left in the ground bud) has the same mg/ml THC as the stuff you do recover.
No one thought that (I hope!). I just wanted to point out the dilution of oil when making edibles rather than taking capsules.Ummmmm..... at least you could chew them up and enjoy the flavor - and there is the sublingual high too...?

Bingo

Hi HG I have recently started making capsules from rosin. For the same reasons you mention above. I was eating brownies but that's way to much sugar. Then I made capsules from infused cco but had to take 18 20 caps. Now I am infusing rosin I only need to take two or three capsules a night. My next batch I'll make them a little stronger I would like to get it down to one or two capsules. I highly recommend the rosin route if you're trying to cut back on the amount you have to take.I'm supposed to be learning how to make hash and other concentrates. I have a thick book called HASHISH! by Robert Connell Clarke that I'm supposed to read but haven't gotten around to yet since during the cooler months, I find that too much reading makes me sleepy.

Yeah I am interested in making some Super Strong capsules. I am taking 8 at a time and eating a big piece of brownie so I am wanting to make my caps Much stronger. Live Rosin may help with that. I need a press so I can squish some bud
That's the main reason I got a press. The dabs are a nice bonus though! Also the process is much simpler that infusing bud.
