Love the distillate in our edibles and syrups. No nasty taste or afterbite. Bho or co2 usually taste kind of gross when used in high doses in a small volume product.

I like the crude oil from a long isopropyl extraction for capsules. You get a higher yield and a deeper high than more refined oils. Putting it in capsules means you don't have to worry about the taste.

There is still a taste if you burp. In the past when a patient wanted caps I infused some essential oils like peppermint to help with taste and stomach settling. I have also used lemon extract, but usually only with the stronger sativa based strains so the limonene didn't mess with the indica high.

I've been a pothead for over 20 years, so weed burps are a good thing. I loved the flavor of crude edibles like brownies and cookies before I started making capsules and tinctures.

If weed tasting burps are undesirable, I could see how more refined and purified oils would be better for capsules. I hadn't thought of other essential oils like peppermint. I've just been making capsules and tinctures for personal use, doing it the way that's best for me.

I made muffins with distillate and no taste whatsoever, with great effects, 2.3 grams into 9 muffins.

holy hell!

I turn 2 grams of distillate into 120 15mg capsules. I'd be wrecked eating one of those 200 mg muffins.
