Tinctures w/ Vegtable Glycerin

First, we would like to say thank you for the help and constructive criticism we received in response to our first question on here.

Now we are onto making tinctures with vegetable glycerin with a magic butter machine. It might not be the best option but it is what we are working with right now.

How would we measure the the CBD mg dosage per tincture bottle? There are usually 1,000mg, 2,000mg etc., But how are they getting that accurate measurement?

Thanks in advance.

LOL…We test the raw material for cannabinoid percents…Butter into VG? :thinking: SugarButter, sounds delicious. Hope you dont plan on vaping that concoction.

1 gram isolate
QS to 30ml (=1000mg)
Extrapolate to whatever the capacity of your magic butter blending thing is.

Just soak a pound of high quality cbd flower in 4 gallons of vg for a month. Let it cook in the sun for a few days. I promise it will shit on every other method

Filter and test final product

He’s talking about using one of these to mix tinctures in, presumably in lieu of a heated stir plate whatever else. Not adding butter (I hope).

Yea but it doesn’t work. The product seperates. A natural soak doesn’t seperate

Maybe I misunderstand what the intent is, is this for vape? Or sublingual? @ImLivingOnMars

EDIT: nevermind it says tincture bottles in the OP, I’m not crazy

Thanks, but i I should of clarified that we would be using plant material for full-spectrum. Is there an average mg dosage per gram of hemp flower? Somebody told us there is an average of 100mg of CBD per gram of hemp flower but we aren’t sure how to fact check that.

No no butter. just plant material and glycerin.

There is no accurate way to do what you want to do. You will have to do a run. Go heavy. Get it tested and then do the math to determine dilution.

Is this for personal or for a product? Either way it would be a much easier to not start with VG. Extract it first then incorporate VG if you are set on that as your base for tincture.

Really? Then why do people use glycerin for tinctures? do you think glycerin is better suited to cut Distillate for cartridges?

Glycerin/plant material tincture for product and personal use.

Is there an average amount that we should start with?

*Average ratio

There’s people on here selling singles of isolate for $500. I bet you could break off a half kg from someone here at around $250-$300 and you can skip the many headaches I see in your future attempting to extract with vg on flower.

No im saying that you should soak high quality buds or very clean trim as opposed to soaking isolate. The terpenes are alcohols, the waxes are emulsifiers its all a beautiful complex mess that produces a stable water soluble extract. Anyone want to try some pull up to humboldt

Tinctures with VG is a bad idea and should not work. VG is not oil soluble, any CBD/extract you put in VG is going to come right out and separate pretty immediately. Use MCT or hemp seed oil or grape seed oil or something as your carrier
