Just wondering if people use their post vaped herb for anything? Personally we've been putting it into a bottle of olive oil (50/50 ratio) and letting it infuse over a month or so. On Sunday mornings we then pour it onto fresh toast and then go for what we call a space walk. You wouldn't believe how high we get from this! I think it's an excellent way to get the most value out of your herbs.

Warning: it's stronger than you'd expect so take it easy at the beginning to gauge strength.

Since the herb is now decarb'd it can be properly ingested by the body.

I've done a few things over the years with it:

  • Firecrackers - grab some peanutbutter and crackers. Load up a cracker with PB (and jelly if desired), then sprinkle on some ABV and enjoy

  • Yogurt - mix in some ABV with yogurt to conceal the flavor. Easy to eat a lot of ABV this way hahaha.

  • Chocolate milkshake - delicious and blends nicely with the ABV flavor.

  • Sous-vide budder - I use a sous vide heated to 180F. I put 1/2 a cup of ABV per one four-ounce stick of budder, with a quarter cup of water and some coconut oil into a bag and put that in the sous vide for four hours. Then I strain the contents using a french-press and pour into silicone molds which I pop into the freezer. After an hour I crack open the molds and pour out the black "water" (which contains all the grit and sediment from the ABV) - this lets me have nice fresh sticks of budder with no ice or black ABV sediment. I then bake edibles with the budder (NOTE, I always bake edibles at 325F and extend baking time to ensure I don't cook off too many active compounds from the ABV). I also like to make Rice-Krispy treats since they require a lot of budder.

Pro tip: Hate the flavor of your ABV? You can "water-cure" it to eliminate that flavor. Put some ABV in a cheesecloth and wrap it up, then flush with COLD Water until water runs clear through cheesecloth.

Awesome reply. Thanks for the detail! The sous vide idea sounds particularly wild!
