merl1n Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Ahh, now, soaking and evaporating is more for making oil than tincture. The longer you soak it the more impurities (ie chlorophyll-The stuff that makes plants green) will be dissolved. Tincture is for drinking, where as, oil is more for smokingI've made both oil and tincture https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/topic/7166-iso-oil/?do=findComment&comment=397571https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/topic/45016-op-rum-tincture/?hl=tincture&do=findComment&comment=476910 If your evaporating the alcohol off (making oil) I'd suggest using something like isopropyl alcohol rather than a more expensive grain alcohol.If you want to make a drinking tincture, do not allow the temp to go above 77degrees or all of the alcohol will evaporateIso is around 97-99% pure alcohol, if it's not fully evaporated the smoked oil can pop and fart and splatter when ignited (NOT WHAT YOU WANT) DO NOT try making a drinking tincture with iso, drinking iso can (along with some other activities ) send you blind Hope it helpsMerl1n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantgrow Posted March 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 This is what I’m making for under the tongue https://emilykylenutrition.com/cannabis-tincture/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merl1n Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I like some of the theory, but it doesn't give much detail ie temps, times etcTemps are important because the hotter you get it the more breakdown of cannabinoids occurs, so the lesser temps the betterBut timings are important too. I burn off my chlorophyll (the green stuff) in the sun. But the UV also affects the cannabinoids, so timings are paramount. The stuff I make sets solid like toffee, I have to set the jar on a warmer to get a spot or heat up a wire to swipe thru it, but as an under tongue lozenge... ...yea, that could work. Might try that Merl1n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantgrow Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Yeah it actually states decarb times and temps depending on wether you want THC or CBD product It tells how long to soak tooJust got to scroll through the other bullshit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
