Last Updated on May 19, 2023

Are you a fan of dry herb vaping? If so, you’re not alone! Dry herb vaping offers the potent taste and smooth experience of flowers with the convenience of vaping. But did you know that you might be unintentionally wasting your weed?

Before you toss out your used flower, consider this: it may still have some THC left in it. This “already vaped bud” (AVB) is often discarded, but it shouldn’t be! In fact, there are many ways to enjoy the residual THC in AVB, even though it no longer produces vapour.

Let us know what AVB is, and share some simple methods for getting the most out of your dry herb. Take advantage of the potential benefits of AVB – keep reading to learn more!

What Is AVB Weed?

AVB weed, or already vaped bud weed, is the leftover flower from dry herb vaporizers that have been heated and used up but still contains residual THC. It has a yellow or brownish colour and a slightly popcorny taste, indicating that it has been exhausted.

Unlike combustion vapes that produce ash, dry herb vaporizers that operate below 451F degrees (233C) produce AVB weed, which can be used in various ways to get a pleasant high. From infusing it into oils and butter to adding it to your favourite foods, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the benefits of AVB weed.

How Much THC is Left in Already Vaped Bud?

How much THC is left in your already vaped bud depends upon three things:

The temperature you set for your device to vaporize the weed.
The second is how potent your bud was in the first place before you vaped it.
And the last variable is how much time you spend vaping the bud.

Suppose you were lucky to grab some excellent and potent marijuana strain that is jinxed up with high THC levels at around 25% and that you did not vape it to ashes.

Then, if your AVB satisfies all the mentioned terms, your already smoked bud could be helpful in the following number of ways.

How Does AVB Weed Works?

AVB weed works by extracting the residual THC from the flower used in a dry herb vaporizer. When you vape dry herb, the heat activates the THC in flower, and the vapour carries the activated THC into your lungs, where it is absorbed into your bloodstream. However, not all of the THC is extracted during vaping, and the remaining THC is left in the AVB weed.

Here are some key points to understand how AVB weed works:

AVB weed is a flower that has been heated in a dry herb vaporizer and used up but still contains residual THC.
Vaping activates the THC in flowers, and the vapour carries the activated THC into your lungs for absorption.
The remaining THC in AVB weed can be extracted and consumed through various methods, including infusing it into oils or butter, adding it to foods, or smoking it.
The effects of AVB weed are typically less potent than fresh flowers but can still produce a pleasant high.

To get the most out of your AVB weed, it’s important to use a dry herb vaporizer that operates at temperatures below 451F degrees (233C) to avoid burning the flower.

Can You Smoke AVB?

Yes, you can smoke AVB weed, but it’s important to understand that the effects may be different from smoking fresh flowers. When you smoke AVB weed, you consume the residual THC left in the flower after it is vaped. Since some of the THC was already extracted during vaping, the effects may be less potent compared to fresh flowers.

If you plan to smoke AVB weed, it’s recommended to use a water pipe or a vaporizer to reduce the harshness of the smoke. It’s also important to note that smoking AVB weed may produce a different taste compared to a fresh flower, and the smoke may be thicker and harsher.

Smoking AVB weed is an option but may not be the most efficient way to consume it. Other methods, such as infusing it into oils or butter, or adding it to foods, may be a more effective way to consume AVB weed and get the most out of its residual THC.

The Effects of Regular Weed & The Already Vaped Bud

AVB tends to comfort you with that comfortable body high (it’s nap time) instead of that usual head buzz you get from regular weed. Therefore, Already Vaped Bud is useful for people winding down from a hard day’s work.

Productive Activities

THC relaxes muscle tissue and tendons, making it easier for you to focus. So we need to see how to make the most out of it. First, stretching is highly advised, as it goes very well with muscle relaxation caused by AVB. It will make your overall mood stable and even fix some painful spots. The next one is Meditation. Just wind down, and try some techniques. You can find them online!

Prepping the AVB for Future Use

There are two mainstream ways people get high, with the first one being by burning it and the second, you probably guessed it, by merely digesting it. It doesn’t matter which way you opt for it because it is almost obligatory to dip that AVB in water, so it takes out all its bitterness from it.

So how does one do it? Quite simple. You go to the local store supply and buy some cheesecloth. Then, you grind your weed. After grinding:

Wrap your already vaped bud that you ground in the cheesecloth and dip it in the warm water for around 5 minutes.
Take it out and squeeze as much as you can.
Stick up with this process until you are satisfied with the results.

And yeah, your THC will stay where it was cause it is not soluble in water.

8 Creative Ways to Use the AVB Weed

Don’t throw away your AVB! Instead, collect it in a jar and put it to good use. Check out these simple and effective ways to use your AVB.

1. Making the AVB Butter

AVB butter is an excellent way to utilize your already vaped bud. If you’re wondering what to do with all that vaped weed, this is your answer. Making AVB butter is easy; all you need to do is follow the traditional method of making weed butter with a slight variation. Here’s how you can do it:

No need to decarboxylate the AVB. The vaping process has already taken care of that.
Pour the AVB into a pan with boiling water and butter.
Boil and mix for 2-4 hours.
Let the cannabinoids transport to the butter.
The potency of AVB cannabutter will be around 4-7 times less than regular weed cannabutter.

Now that you have your AVB butter, it’s time to get baking. Just remember that AVB weed is less potent than fresh weed, so you may need to use more of it. You can use your cannabutter in various recipes and enjoy the psychoactive properties of THC.

Don’t throw away your vaped weed; turn it into something delicious with AVB butter!

2. Making AVB Oil

Besides making AVB cannabutter, this method is among the most popular ways to use your already vaped bud!

Just grind your already vaped bud fine, and be sure to do your research and use one of the many food-safe alcohols you can find.

3. Eat It!

While most people like to make oil or butter from their vaped weed, a part of the weed-loving community prefers to take a more straightforward approach. Remember, the vaporizer decarboxylated your AVB weed.

So you can add the vaped weed to your recipe and enjoy. Another option is to use a water curing process we addressed earlier to remove any bitter after-taste present with already vaped weed/bud.

But be careful since you will need to eat a lot, mainly because the vaped weed is likely 5-7 times less potent than the regular fresh weed. Be aware that consuming Already Vaped Bud raw can make you sick, so be sure to have a healthy and well-balanced diet.

4. Roll An AVB Joint

Rolling a joint is the most common way to get high, even when AVB. Just roll it up like a regular one. Again, remember to use water to clean your vaped buds, get rid of that bitter taste, and then let it dry. When the buds dry up, grind it and roll the joint however you prefer.

7. Smoking the Already Vaped Bud

By smoking AVB pot, one may realize that vaping weed is not even close to the rich and tasty flavour of fresh, good-smelling weed. As mentioned earlier, this is the prime reason it is necessary to wash it up with water, and we can’t say this enough. Avoiding this method can make your day bitter.

8. Medicinal THC capsules

Transform your AVB into powerful THC capsules with just a few easy steps! Instead of tossing your vaped weed, infuse it into coconut oil and dose it into capsules. Start with one and adjust the dosage according to your preference. With the right oil and AVB potency ratio, you’ll have a personalized high that fits your needs.

Yes, it surely will. By exercising, you make your metabolism faster. Therefore your digestion will improve, and you will be more effective at absorbing THC in your system. In addition, regular exercise will improve your mood, making it easier for you to enjoy your high more than usual.

We encourage you to do stretching in the morning and 10 minutes of cardio before your AVB session. Then, you will indeed feel great.

How to Store AVB?

Fortunately, storing AVB is quite simple. You need to follow the listed steps:

After grinding, go to your local supply store and buy jars(be sure to purchase ones made from glass cause glass is one of the best materials that will keep your already vaped buds fresh). Then fill your jars with AVB.
Put them in a dark place because sun rays (light) can badly affect the buds.
