How can I use an oz of bud and infuse THCA it into coconut oil
I want to start ingesting THCA
Should I let it sit In the coconut oil at 180 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 hours? Or longer ??

I am not an expert on this but I think that typically in my experience if you are using a double boiler, you should keep it at a simmer, low and slow and what you are extracting is mainly THCA. I wouldn’t go over 8 hours. Strain with cheesecloth when done.
You can also add 2 parts water to 1 part oil to prevent burning it in the double boiler, then let it settle and separate in the fridge after you strain it.
If it’s just an Oz id use 4-6 Oz of coconut oil

Put it in a mason jar with coconut oil. Any amount of either will be ok, but I like 25 flower, 75 any fatty oil. Put the mason jar in a slow cooker on low heat for 6-8 hours. Keep water at 1-2 inches, and don’t seal the jar lid too tight. Remove and strain thru cheesecloth or metal coffee filter into new jar. Have fun!

Kief it. Then use a high shear homogenizer for 30-45 seconds.
Pretty sure @Sidco_Cat posted it somewhere.
Heat is not your friend. 8hrs at 180f will give significant decarb.

My preferred method has been etoh => Rotovap => into oil. Because formulating to exact potency is trivial that way.

Etoh is (ethanol)?
Can you recommend a Rotovap that’s around
$1500-$2000
In order to use the rotovap Does this process needs to be winterized separate the fatty lipids?
What are the steps to etoh to rotovap

No winterizing is not necessary if your going to eat it. Folks winterize and remove the lipids to make a better extract for smoking.
You can use rotovap without winterizing if you wanted to.

I’d probably still do a room temp filtration for particles and crap
