Hello everyone!
First off Id like to give everyone who replies to this my thanks- Im new to the site and am very thankful for any suggestions you may be willing to give me!
Now to start off, I feel I should ask about what sort of equipment and supplies I will be needing? I already have the empty pill capsules (Size 00) along with the pill holders and pipettes to fill them. I also have access to THIS electric burner, a convection toaster oven (unfortunately no access to a real oven..), and an area where I can do this that I wouldn't upset any of my neighbors.
Some additional gear/supplies I am considering picking up after reading through other forum threads is as follows:
I have been using THIS tutorial to guide my choices so far- so I'd also like to check if its trustworthy? The like/dislike ratio seems to suggest it is but I'd just like to be sure that this is the best method.
Also is there a recommended method when it comes to calculating the potency of a pill? I consider myself a light smoker at this point (1 to 2 times a week- depending on how much free time I have) and personally I'd like to be able to get quite toasty from a single pill. With the amount of cannabis I have what sort of potency should I expect from say- 30 pills? Maybe 40? I believe 1 tablespoon will fill about 5 size "00" pills (according to THIS), but that still leaves the question of how potent they will be. From my understand you get FAR more THC from cannabis when using it for cooking or in concentrates then you would from smoking it. So what would I expect as a light smoker squeezing all of this into 30 or 40 pills?
That's about all as far as questions go- Ill be sure to give updates while I am in the process of making the pills!

- A double boiler - Link
- A french press for straining - Link - (If yes to this- what capacity should I get?)
- Coconut Oil - Unless someone would reccomend a different type of oil? Also, is there any specific brands I should look into?
- Cooking Thermometer - Link - To ensure I'm not overheating the cannabis during the process
- 1 ounce of the best cannabis I can get my hands on!
