Hey, just curious what kind of ratio of bud:oil you like to use.. I've tried making infused coconut oil in the past but it's never seemed to have any effect on me. I've eaten ~600mg (supposedly) of RSO as well with no effect, so I wanna make it as strong as possible, haha.
Also, have you ever made gummies/candy using shatter and/or an RSO-type concentrate, rather than infusing a coconut oil/butter? That's how a buddy makes his... I just don't have much for concentrate atm so... Or ever used hash at all? That I do have.... ?

Dam bro! 600mg would out me to sleep, RSO/Terp Gravy/Phoenix Tears are a lot different than edibles in my opinion, way more mellow and I had to take a lot of RSO to feel anything in comparison to edibles. I've never made edibles with RSO because it is already in it's most ideal ingestible form and cooking it may burn off the valuable terpenes you want from this type of product. In edibles, the terpenes mostly burn off (unless you do a passive decarboxylation that's another article lol) but the cannabinoids are bought to the front and center, as well changing their molecular structure. I'm not so good at the sciency explanations lol.
Here is an example that may help you, a sneak preview of some new content i'm doing....
I approximated an 80% THC infusion rate into the oil, but, this is over what it normally comes out to be. This example uses 20grams of 20% THC cannabis in 2 cups of coconut oil and makes 20 cookies using 1/4 of a cup of this oil.
20 grams of 20% THC cannabis = 20,000mg x 20% THC = 4,000mg of total THC
Multiply 4,000mg of THC by 80% = 3,200mg (Infused) THC
Divide 3,200mg of total infused THC by the amount of oil you will use, (3,200mg/8 = 400mg of THC per 1/4 cup of oil), as well as the number of servings you will create.
20 cookies made with 1/4 cup of this oil = approximately 20mg of THC per cookie. (400mg divided by 20 cookies).
It is confusing as fck, but, once you remember the equation, you'll get a very good idea of your own tolerance
Nice, thanks for the input. Yeah, I figure I will just put as much bud as possible in ~2 cups of oil, run it on the long cycle with my MBM, and see how that goes... probably toss in some hash too. I'd rather have it too strong and have to eat half a gummy than too weak and get diabetes trying to eat enough. I love the sciencey stuff though... pyrolosis resulting in the cleaving of a that carboxyl group from the cannabinoid acids, converting them into their psychoactive counterparts.. the conversion of D9-THC into 11-Hydroxy-THC via enzyme action and metabolism in the liver..all that good shit, hahahaha. My gf is an organic chemist so we chat about this often... usually ending up in her getting very angry due to my butchering of her science... ?
I have MED issues with my stomach tho, and I am trying to find something that I can actually absorb... I've tried eating most iterations of edibles with no luck so... ☹️. Decarbed milled bud, all kinds of infused foods, tinctures, you name it. I've even had a butterfly gummy from MOTA with 800mg and.... nothing. LoL. Haven't tried suppositories yet but... maybe. ?
Oh wow that is awesome that you can discuss the science behind it at home, your missus must be pretty onto it!
I'll have a think about what may work and get back to you TG. Everyone's endocannabinoid system is different, but I'll do some research and see what I can come up with.
Have you ever tried infusing flour, sugar, or alcohol?
