AVF might sound like a new installment in the Alien vs. Predator franchise but, that’s not the case. In this instance, AVF references Already Vaped Flower, referring to cannabis flowers. AVF is cannabis flower that has been previously vaped using a dry herb vaporizer. Dry herb vaporizers are becoming an increasingly popular form of cannabis consumption with both recreational consumers and medical cannabis patients alike.
A dry herb vaporizer heats cannabis to the point just before combustion, allowing the vapor from essential oils like THC, CBD, CBN, CBG, and others to be inhaled. This form of consumption is much safer for lung health. Vaping flower removes potentially dangerous carbons and carcinogens from the vapor as there is no burning leafy plant material.
You start with nice green plant material, and after it has been vaped, you end up with dark brown plant material. This doesn’t mean it’s time to throw this darker material in the ashtray or garbage can. There is still life left in that material. You can make everything from tea and butter to baked goods and candies with these leftovers.
Anyone who makes freshly pressed cannabis rosin at home knows you keep those leftover pucks (pressed cannabis) for making butter. The same applies to AVF. It will take a little trial and error to get the amounts right for the results you want, but it’s worth it to help stretch your green. Since the flower has already been vaped, you don’t have to decarb it. Decarboxylation is a necessary process that involves using low heat to convert THCa into active THC.
Here are a few ideas that you can use to help use up that leftover cannabis flower from your dry herb vaporizer.
Now you know that you were right not to discard that leftover vaped cannabis flower. It may not be as strong in potency in small amounts, but when it is collected and turned into something else, you may just be surprised at the results. Also be sure to properly store your cannabis flower so that it lasts.
