After decarbing:
INGREDIENTS:
- 5 grams of pure, blonde, powdered hash or 7 grams of high-quality bud (ground by hand)
- 2-4 ounces of high proof alcohol (180 proof or higher; must be drinkable alcohol; 100 proof is the absolute minimum) — vodka is preferable, for its flavor neutrality
- 2-4 ounces of 100% USP-food grade vegetable glycerin
- 2 sterile canning jars and lids
- 1 cheesecloth
DIRECTIONS:
- Put the marijuana into the sterile canning jar. Add alcohol until it covers marijuana by at least one-quarter inch. Place lid on the jar and shake vigorously. If the plant matter absorbs the alcohol and increases in size, add more alcohol.
- Place the jar (still tightly closed) in a dark location for 10-14 days. At least once per day, shake it up vigorously.
- After 10-14 days, strain the mixture through the cheesecloth, and pour it into the second sterile canning jar. Mix in your 100% USP-food grade vegetable glycerin. Put the lid on and shake vigorously for a minimum of two minutes.
If you want to remove more of the alcohol, this can be done by straining the mixture more or simply adding more vegetable glycerin to make the mixture thinner. Keep in mind, some of that alcohol will naturally evaporate.
Adding flavor to your vape juice
The key to safely adding your preferred flavor is never to use artificial coloring. It will likely change color anyway, because of the natural plant coloring, so just leave it as is so that you will not be inhaling any dangerous chemicals.
You should also avoid any store-bought flavorings because they also will contain harmful chemicals — including non-food grade propylene glycol, which you just spent so much effort keeping out of your mixture. Don’t ruin it now by adding these harmful ingredients. One big health risk of inhaling oils that have been improperly cured and vaporized is lipid pneumonia, so be very careful.
