Guest Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Hey all, I just wondered what people thought worked better for extraction - butter or coconut oil? I have tried both, and I have to say I think the butter is much stronger than the oil. Anyone else see the same? I used the same bud, from the same plant so the weed was the same. For the butter I boiled water, added butter, and then added 1/2oz bud and kept it cooking for an hour. For the coconut oil, I added it to the slow cooker with 1/2 oz and left for around 8hrs. Both the butter and oil was the same qty.. So, what do people think - what works better? I find the oil a bit more versatile for cooking, but the butter stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Yeah I added some of that shit. have you ever done a side-by-side test with and without? I know it helps with THC absorption, but is it massively noticeable? It also helps emulsify, which is goof for gummies, and, well, everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLaC Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 @lemoore00 the lecithin is absolutely necessary as an emulsifier for some recipes like gummies for instance where the fat will separate if not used. I also use a bit on cannachocolates to prevent fat bloom. As for helping your body with absorption therefore making the product stronger I'm still a bit unconvinced ..I do believe I get high 20-30 mins quicker if I use lecithin.. but can still get just as high with or without. Everything everywhere will tell you coconut oil has the higher fat content so its best to use. But like you when I use butter I find the edibles to be stronger, using the same amount of bud/process as the coconut oil. They both work, but yeh, no idea why I feel the effects more from butter over coconut oil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But If you made a batch from flower and wanted to put enough of that coconut oil in for a decent dose you should use lecithin or the likelyhood is the fat will separate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joba Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 @OLaC yes you are correct my friend,actually I don't even do RSO like Rick I am doing it by Graywolf,freezing bud and ethanol prior to extraction so there isn't any fats,waxes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just infused a gram of the oil with 20g of cocoa butter then mixed that into chocolate and tempered it. Taste bloody lovely, gonna remelt that chocolate and fill with the raspberry cream I made from this sugar and some cannabutter. Overkill I think but what the hey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
