What Is AVB?
Already Vaped Bud (AVB) is the leftover Cannabis flower that has been heated or smoked using a vaporizer.

Will Smoking AVB Get Me High?
The short answer is yes, but only to a certain extent.
The ideal use for Already Vaped Bud, among many, is not smoking. Most of the THC in your Weed is consumed during the initial vaping, leaving you with a much weaker product. Moreover, the taste can be rather unpleasant.
There are some things to consider:
As the Weed is already vaporized, it will not be as potent.
It does not taste pleasant. You can water-cure your AVB, but be sure to dry it entirely before vaping.
It is almost impossible to tell the strength of your Already Vaped Bud (AVB). Various cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids have different burning temperatures; some will be destroyed while vaping.
How To Water Cure AVB (Already Vaped Bud)
If you find the taste of AVB unappetizing, we suggest you take the extra step and water cure your Already Vaped Bud (AVB). The water curing process removes the chlorophyll and burnt flavor by soaking the AVB in distilled water.
How Long Should You Water Cure ABV?
The water curing process can take a couple of days to 1 week, depending on the amount of unwanted material.
You will have a cleaner product the longer you leave it in the water. We suggest replacing the water every few hours to start or twice daily the longer it cures. The discoloration will fade toward the end.
Once you’ve reached your desired curing process, drain off the water and dry in a food dehydrator for a couple of hours.
If you do not have one handy, place a single layer AVB on a lined baking sheet in a preheated 200 d f oven. Gently shake the tray every 20 – 30 minutes, ensuring the Weed is completely dry before storing.
How To Store And Use Already Vaped Bud?
It may take some time to accumulate enough AVB, so store it for later use.
Store in a sealed Mason Jar in a cool dark place until you have the desired amount.
The 6 Unexpected Uses For Already Vaped Bud
AVB Brownies
Brownies made with AVB are an excellent way to get high using the Cannabis Flower byproduct.
The THC is activated when vaped. Therefore, brownies made with AVB can be baked at lower temperatures for an extended time without burning the leftover THC and losing potency.
As the Weed is already decarboxylated, you can add the already vaped bud to your brownie batter and bake. It will somewhat affect your brownie’s texture, but we suggest adding some nuts to your mixture or grinding it into a powder to hide this.
If the AVB texture is not to your liking, infuse your butter or oil with the Already Vaped Bud, and it’s ready to use.

How Can I Tell How Much ABV To Use?
It is almost impossible to tell the strength of ABV (Already Been Vaped) or AVB. It is pretty much a guess, and you will have to experiment. Remember to “start low and go slow.”
Cannabis compounds like cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids decarboxylate and burn at different temperatures. The heat applied when vaping will significantly determine the potency of your Already Vaped Bud. Its strength varies from 10% to 30% of that of a Cannabis flower.
You can compare one-half gram of AVB to about 0,15g of dried herb and about 10mg of edibles.
THC is known to downgrade at higher temperatures and converts to a less potent CBN, a cannabinoid recommended for sleep.
