Awesome, thanks for all the help. I hope I have enough time today to make them.
use a smaller jar to heat up the MCT oil, and tilt it to one side if there is not enough MCT oil.
I tried some following the 2gs BHO to 8ml MCT ratio. It was 2.5 hours after I took a pill before I felt any effects. I'm guessing it has something to do with the time/temp part of the process. With the jar flat in the cooking oil bath the MCT would read between 210-230 degrees. If I tilted the jar so more of the thermometer was submerged in MCT oil it would read between 245-270. I have no idea which of those would be a more accurate reading. Any ideas?
I understand that 60F is a big fluctuation....but I have no idea which reading is the accurate one. When I measured with the beaker(jar) sitting flat on the bottom of the pot I'd get the 210-230 reading. If I tilted the beaker so that I could submerge more of the thermometer in the MCT I'd get the 245-270 reading. Setting the beaker flat again and the temps would immediately begin to drop.
Hi all. Just wanted to chime in and say thx to slowandeasy for the recipe. Just finished my first batch and wanted to follow in your footsteps. Made my first batch at a ratio of 2:1. Hoping for some real strong pills. I got 7 total from 4ml MCT oil and 2 grams of bho made from buds. I'm gonna wait till Saturday to take one, so I will try and report back Sunday and let every one know how the results were. Thad again!
Alright, it's been about 8 hrs now and i feel I can go ahead and post the results. First let me say that I can't wait till Saturday to try these again. Today I am getting over being sic, had a lack of sleep last night...and I am a chronic! So take these results with a grain of salt. During the 8 hrs I have smoke a few bowls.
After several hours I felt exrememly tired and when I stopped moving, sitting in a recliner, I felt numb everywhere and had I had enough time to stay relaxed, I would have fallen asleep for sure.
Over my explorations from the past couple of months my eyes have really been opened to the medicinal qualities of marijuana, and I can totally see how these bho pills could be used for people with certain illnesses, props slowandeasy for bringing this to us in an easy to read tutorial.
However, Saturday I will probaly stRt off with a good nights sleep and I may take two of these early in the morning and see how they treat me (Friday is my birthday). But under normal circumstances I can see your 4:1 ratio for everyday use. Only question is how do you get so many pills? I was filling mine all the way to the top and capping them. Were you only filling 2/3 the way full to get 12 caps your first run?
Hope this is all makes since (couldn't spell co-hear-ant). In the process of finishing a bowl topped with .10grams of budder.
Clearly, there is a divergence in opinion on the topic, and i am aware of reasoning on both sides.

I do think it would be easier without the powder, but like I said, I do not have a syringe. I live in a pretty rural area, and am not planning on going to where there is a pharmacy until tomorrow, and I have the whole day to experiment with this, using the materials I have on hand (~5 grams of reclaim, a jar of coconut oil, a bag of arrowroot, and some capsules).
It seems like it would be much more of a PITA to try to deal with getting the oil into the capsules syringe-less.
Made a batch of these last night. Used 2.5g bho and 15ml cmt. Yielded 25 capsules. Hope they are strong, took one almost 40 minutes ago with lunch.
