The AVB can be made into infused oils too to stretch it further. It may not be worth the effort, but it’s an option. I have so much saved up because I haven’t made anything in a while. The high is notably less, but it’s nice for a night cap. It’s more of a sleepy high than anything.
I’ve heard of people making firecrackers, where it’s just sprinkled on say a cracker with cream cheese. I’ve heard raw it can lead to some digestive distress or gassiness, but I’ve never tried. I always have done a water soak for a couple of days to clean it before any infusions.
I’ve made tincture once and a few pounds of budder, but I’ve never reduced the tincture down to oils (I lack both the equipment and the tools to keep said equipment properly clean) but it doesn’t seem too hard. Those electric pressure cookers make budder so easily
I have an anova sous vide. I put coconut oil and the bud in a mason jar, finger tight the lid, set at a temp (I forgot what, it’s been a while) and come shake and burp it frequently. I already had the sous vide, so that was no cost to me, but I don’t know that there’s a better option out there either than maybe a magic butter machine.
I think basic sous vide machine can be had relatively cheap now. It’s good for this, but great for food.
I love it. Pressure cooker method is the same, except I keep the jars small enough they don’t need burping and it’s all ABV so I decarbed with my lungs. There’s something I read about some additive you can toss in (I think it starts with an L) that helps with the smell, but as you can see the extent of my experience with it (I can’t remember what it’s called) I couldn’t get any to try it. And since we already had the instant pot (heh)
You can make the AVB stronger too, if you want the max effect. Take a few hits at 175c and empty it. And if you regrind using a mortar and pestle, you increase bioavailability. Been loving dry herb vapes since 2016, almost the only way I smoke anymore. Sometimes if I have a bit of crumbly/handleable dab, I’ll put just a pinch on the top. Gets absorbed into the flower as it melts so it doesn’t fall through the vape (so long as there’s not too much), works like a charm.
I usually sit at 191c, so not a full extraction, but it doesn’t leave a ton left. I prefer to get the bigger boost up front rather than boosting the edibles later. Still, I should take what I’ve got, wash it, and infused it. Maybe just do multiple batches through the same oil and try to bump the total extraction. I’m not sure if it works linearly doing multiple infusions, but with just one it mainly ends in some sub par cookies that make me a little sleepy.
Same, it’s usually 195 for me. Also have a decent amount saved and untouched myself lol. Feelings of the end result will be pretty determined by your usage temp. I think multiple extractions might get you more, but just more of the same. The sleepiness definitely seems kinda inherent from my experience.
I assume there is a finite amount of THC that an oil or fat (I use coconut oil) can hold. I don’t know if multiple infusions will stack, or if a weak input will mean lower output regardless of what the substance can hold. I probably have a pound of AVB or so. I haven’t made anything for at l ast a year, and I go through about an ounce per month. I’m on a t break right now mostly because I have spent my excess funds on vacations, so budget wise I’ve got to get solvent again. Inadvertently, it keeps me from spending too much of weed. If I lived in a legal state it would be half what I pay, and I’ve got a good plug at $100 for a half. Usually quality is solid, but sometimes it’s a bit weak.

Can also just dump the AVB into some food, it’s so dry that it barely changes the texture compared to fresh weed

I always add some soy lecithin in to my batch. Doesn’t help with smell, but I think it acts like a binder to improve the infusion.
