This AVB cannabutter recipe is one of the best ways to use your leftover vaped cannabis. AVB (Already Been Vaped, also called Already Vaped Bud) is already decarboxylated from the vaporization process, which means you can skip the decarb step entirely and go straight into infusion. Whether you use a dedicated infusion machine like the POT by Noids or make it on the stove, this avb cannabutter recipe is simple, hands-off, and highly effective for making potent edibles.
What You Need for This AVB Cannabutter Recipe
- 20–21g of ABV (Already Been Vaped cannabis)
- Clarified butter — enough to fully saturate the ABV (see linked video for clarifying butter)
- POT by Noids infusion machine (or a stove, slow cooker, and cheesecloth)
- Rectangular butter mold (optional but recommended)
- Kitchen scale
For this avb cannabutter recipe, Fordee used 21g of ABV with enough clarified butter to fully saturate it. Clarified butter works better than regular butter because removing the milk solids reduces the chance of burning and extends shelf life.
AVB Cannabutter Recipe: 5 Easy Steps
Step 1: Weigh Your ABV
Use a kitchen scale to measure out your ABV. For a small-batch avb cannabutter recipe, 20–21g is a great starting point — potent enough for strong edibles without wasting large amounts of material. The more ABV you use relative to butter, the more potent the final product.
Step 2: Liquefy Your Clarified Butter
If your clarified butter is solid, microwave it in 30-second bursts (without the metal lid) until it’s fully liquid. This makes it much easier to saturate the ABV evenly. For this avb cannabutter recipe, you want every gram of ABV fully coated and submerged in the butter.
Step 3: Combine ABV and Butter, Then Infuse
Add the ABV to your infusion vessel and pour the liquefied clarified butter over it. Stir well with a skewer or spoon to ensure full saturation. If using the POT by Noids, select the THC infusion setting (the pentagon/diamond symbol) and place the vessel inside. The machine runs for approximately 2.5 hours on a set-and-forget basis — no stirring or monitoring needed.
Step 4: Strain and Mold
Once the avb cannabutter recipe cycle is complete, strain the butter through cheesecloth (or your machine’s strainer) to remove the spent ABV. Pour the strained butter into a rectangular butter mold. Pro tip: place a cutting board under the mold before moving it to the fridge — the molds can be flimsy when full of liquid butter.
Step 5: Chill, De-Mold, and Store
Refrigerate until fully set — this can take several hours. Don’t rush de-molding; if the butter is still soft, it will break apart. Once fully set, pop the sticks out of the mold. For maximum shelf life, store your avb cannabutter in the freezer in individual sticks. Cannabutter keeps for a few weeks in the fridge but months in the freezer — pull out one stick at a time as needed.
Stove-Top AVB Cannabutter Recipe (No Machine Needed)
Don’t have a POT by Noids? You can make this avb cannabutter recipe on the stove using the same basic method:
- Melt clarified butter in a saucepan over the lowest heat setting.
- Add your weighed ABV and stir to combine.
- Keep the temperature below 170°F (77°C) — use a thermometer to monitor.
- Simmer for 2–4 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Strain through cheesecloth into a mold. Squeeze to extract all the butter.
- Refrigerate until set, then store in the freezer.
The stove method requires more attention to avoid overheating but works just as well for a no-gadget avb cannabutter recipe.
How Potent Is AVB Cannabutter?
The potency of your avb cannabutter recipe depends on two factors: how much THC remained in your ABV, and the ABV-to-butter ratio. Light-coloured ABV (from a less efficient vaporizer or a short session) contains more residual THC and makes more potent butter. Dark ABV has less THC remaining but is still worth infusing. For reference, 21g of ABV in a small batch of clarified butter can produce quite strong cannabutter — approach your first edible with caution and start with a small amount.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to decarb AVB before making cannabutter?
No — AVB is already decarboxylated by the vaporization process. When making this avb cannabutter recipe, you can skip the decarb step entirely and go straight to infusion. This saves time and simplifies the process compared to making cannabutter with fresh flower.
How much AVB should I use per cup of butter?
For a strong avb cannabutter recipe, aim for roughly 20–25g of AVB per cup (225g) of clarified butter. You can use less for milder butter or more for stronger results — adjust based on your edible goals and the potency of your AVB.
How long does AVB cannabutter last?
Stored in the fridge, avb cannabutter recipe results typically last 2–4 weeks. In the freezer, it can keep for 3–6 months. Using clarified butter (with milk solids removed) extends the shelf life compared to regular butter. Store in an airtight container or wrap each stick individually.
