Tips How can I convert vaping oils to Green dragon

[Poorbs]

I'm new to the forum and have been converting herb to Green Dragon for several years - it's my favorite. I have several vaping pens and some vaping oil, and would like to know how to convert these concentrates to Green Dragon. Is there a recipe? Thanks

Hmmm.. if I remember correctly, @Shredder has done this or something similar...... I would imagine that the vape oil would still need decarboxylation and that you would then need to add it to a high proof alcohol like Everclear or ethanol. And then reduce it down to your desired consistency.

All depends what your vaping with. Do you vape with any cutting agents like added terpenes? I wouldn't bother. There is no Thca in thc distillates to convert to thc. Thc distillates can be combined without decarboxylation. Live resin, "shatter pens", or such need to be decarbed. ( My rule of thumb 240 degrees for 40 minutes, or until it stops bubbling) Then all you need to do is make your tincture as normal.
Everclear is my choice. There are lots of recipes for tinctures out there. Master Wu's Green dragon is probably the most well known. All you have to do is add your decarbed shatter to your Everclear and shake like hell for 3 minutes, I then place in a double boiler and reduce. ( be real careful as it's highly flammable, use your oven fan to ventilate) and reduce by half ,evaporating the alcohol. It will still taste like caca but it won't burn in your mouth or throat. Lots of other recipes on the interweb.

This thread caught my eye because I’ve been curious about making Green Dragon with some of the THC vape carts I have lying around. Thanks for the advice on decarbing – I didn’t know shatter needed that extra step! I’ve tried using regular weed cart in the past, but didn’t think to check if they had any added terpenes or cutting agents. My first attempt tasted rough, like you said, and it was way too harsh. I’ll definitely give it another go with your tip about Everclear and reducing the alcohol in a double boiler (and yeah, that ventilation warning is key, haha).
