Extraction Decarbing before making cannaoil?

i think you may be on to something about the freeze and reheat @pop22
a story....years ago i was a gueeniee pig in a research trial thing.i had to eat a big bag of watercrest every day for 6 weeks,first week was ok but it went downhill fast.
i struggled and ended up blitzing the bag in a blender and necking it as a smoothie.the tester said ohh no cant do that,it breaks down the structure compounds and other stuff bla bla.
i cant give it a try as i have to get rid of any reek tonight.
21g of smallish but nice buds and 200g of coconut oil,ovens warming up.
this is what happened last time i tried the cooking

back of the house stinks,and it met me at the front door on the way back in.
lights are off lets try this in the dark.stage 2 is getting modified,no simmering once its brought up to slightly over temp its into a thermos flask for a bit.

strained through a 250 then 25 micron screens.

my sense of smell and taste is usually pretty poor.this stuff smells rank,and tastes no better.
tried a teaspoon with a cup of hot chocolate eww.next time i rearrange furniture with my head il be sure to rub a drop of this on it.

The lecithin is an extra, but not needed. I don't use it anymore, there is currently controversy over possible affects on the heart.

I've also streamlined the process just a little. Cook time 1.5-2 hours is plenty, more is a waste of time. I still find refrigerating or freezing for a day or two seems to increase potency, however, I've no science to support that so take it with a grain of salt...lol

Actually, I mostly make my oils etc in a Magical Butter machine, its a big time saver!

And trim cooked at 1 cup of trim to 1.25 cups coconut oil makes great topical oil, and can be used for caps if your short

The MBM is pretty good, but useless for small batches. I'm still trying to figure a simple recipe to extract 1/4 oz or so.
