How to dissolve cannabinoids into fats ?

[Vaporizando192]

Hi, i made some batch of tinctures in MCT oil and i added the cannabinoids coming from a QWET extraction.
After that i decarbed them in the oil and then store it and use it.

What i notice is that cannabinoids are not dissolved in the oil at all.
I notice a black thin layer on the bottom of the batch. (They are the cannabinoids)

This is annoiyng because everytime u wanna use it u have to shake the viel very strong.

That sound strange to me because i know that cannabinoids are liposoluble.

What was my mistake ?

For the next time can help me a magnetic stirrer ?

Thx

Different solvents dissolve different constituents and dissolving a polar extraction into a non polar solvent can result in some fall out, but it isn't the cannabinoids falling out.

I would try mixing it at around 150F. If you still have fall out, you can use an homogenizer.

I make oil with everclear 190, warm up the MCT and oil put it in a small bottle 14g MCT 2.5g oil shake hard and it doesn’t separate, I then put it in the dropper vial and it only requires a light shake before use.

Ok, let me see if i understood correctly and coming back with few questions:
the QWET i made dissolved something else more than cannabinoids (1. waxes or what more?)

...so the dark thin layer i see in the bottom of the viel are not cannabinoids (2. are they dissolved in to the oil?)

3. Do you think i can avoid the other constituents if i use dry sift and not QWET ??

4. Which homogenizer you suggest me?? How many RPM ?

Thx

Unfortunately my oil requires a very very strong shake

Do you evaporate all everclear 190 ? Or you mix it straight with MCT ?

The cannabinoids are almost colorless. Red is most likely C-40 b-Carotene.

You will be limited in how much dry sieve you can dissolve into the menstruum, but after filtration won't have the nonsolubles separating and b-Carotene comes from the leaves, not the trichomes.

I use the CAT Scientific X-120 Homogenizer with a T-17 (N) generator shaft assembly and run it full speed.

Dont know WTF he's takin about but I think GW has it figured out. Thank you brother.

I evaporate all the everclear out before I mix it with the MCT oil...
