    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.
