Well I'm a bit disappointed. My wife said she had her eye on a digital crock pot, but when she decided to bring it home, I found that it really isn't digital that I can tell. However it does look like a great deal better than what we had before. More adjustments and options. Both are Rival brand.

A crock pot that doesn't go above 180? Are you sure? I though all crock pots at least got to 220.

If anyone is interested in my second attempt at making capsules, they sucked worse than the first attempt. The first batch at least gave me a pretty good body stone if I took 6 or 8 of them. The second batch does absolutely nothing. Here's what I did different:

- more oil, a little too much probably. You can see in my picture that the weed is completely submerged, where as with WH's picture you can see that there are only a couple pockets of oil.
- cooked at about 265 instead of 205.
- cooked for about 10 hr. instead 4 or so.

So, which is the problem? I really doubt that more time decreases potency. THC cannot disappear. Anyone?

I guess I need to approach this like a scientist instead of a stoner trying to get stoned. I think from now on I will measure temperature only with the laser thermometer, and do experiments. Perhaps I'll start with an oil temp of 230, then take some out after 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 hours, and see what differences there are. I will post results if I discover anything significant.
