Volcano Vaporizer – Tips n' Tricks

So I deviated from my own recipe and ruined a huge batch of volcano leftovers butter. Trying to keep the odors down, I thought I’d get smart and cover the pot with a lid…

DON’T COVER THE POT!

I ended up creating some sort of butter water emulsion simmering under pressure with the lid on. Because of this I didn’t get the neat and easy separation of butter from water after cooling. It was a total mess and almost a total loss. I even tried freezing the whole bowl to see if I could scrape the butter off the top. But no. Learned my lesson!

I think I’ve finally settled on my preferred method for vaporizing my herb. I keep the Volcano’s temperature dial set at 6 all the time. I fill bags at this temp until I get nothing. Then I save my leftovers for volcano butter that I make with my Volcano poo. Sure, I can get more bags by turning up the temp as I go, but I find the bad taste and less dense vapor irritate my lungs. Much better use to make vaporizer butter with the leftovers.

You can use your vaporizer leftovers to make some surprisingly potent butter for cooking brownies and all sorts of treats. The potency will vary depending on how thoroughly you vape your herb. Obviously much of the active ingredients have been vaped into your lungs while your were vaporizing – but there’s a lot left in there – awaiting extraction. It’s hard to make concentrated and potent butter since the leftovers will take up so much room. It’s all about the butter/herb ratio. So the solution is to use a butter/water mixture to extract the active ingredients from the vaporizer leftovers or “volcano poo”.

Here’s my current recipe – subject to discussion and revision!
