POPS
I haven’t been able to find any search based information on the following, but it it makes sense to me.....

A recurring theme for full spectrum spice seems to be ithe difficulty of handling and measuring doses. It seems to me after extraction that it’s a lot like handling dabs. Brownish red and super sticky.

So after my extract, I have about 1.2 g of product. I put it in the freezer to harden on a silicone dab slick (I read about it degrading silicone, so I only left it long enough to be manageable) I put the glob in parchment paper and pressed and flattened into a rough rectangle. I’ve yet to try it, but it seems like now it’ll be relatively easy to cut the chilled product with a razor blade or exacto knife into doses, just like thc extract.

Thoughts, comments, snide remarks are all appreciated.....
 
Depending on how you want to use it, a tincture can be effective, it just a bit of maths (ratio) before doig it, then you'll know in each drop how much is present. Then let evap the alcol and that's it :)
or, you can make enhanced leaf that is very easy to manage dose in many circumstances.

Q21Q21 suggests that too. I get it, but unless there is a compelling difference in quality preservation for long term storage of the product, I have compelling (to me) reasons to keep it in goo form. It looks like dab, and hopefully the authorities would be prone to mistake it for such, especially if it was stored with the small amount that I usually keep in my canabinet ( that word is my invention and I claim all rights 😆) and some flower. It’ll be air tight, cool, and in the dark.

The biggie has to do with set, however. I’m a virgin traveler, and at least until my first journey, scheduled but not yet undertaken, I think it’ll help for it to be in a form that is familiar and comfortable to me. I plan to pack a bowl, carefully melt the serving into it, and let ‘er rip, basically making on the spot enhanced leaf. This is an action that I’m Intimately familiar with; I’ve done the exact same thing with small quantities of thc extract.

Just curious, which tek did you use to make the jim jam?
 
Q21Q21 tec 1. Lime vinegar limonene doing a cool oven evaporation

Pending actual testing of the spice, it was a seriously easy tec. 45 minutes or so to do the extraction and wash a couple of times over a couple of days. My only “issue “ was getting the last tiny bit of limonene off the wash using kitchen equipment. I think it must have come from the outside of my baster when it was dipped in the liquid. There was a bit of white residue in the evaporation pan that I guess came from the residual limonene. I used food grade limonene so unless there’s some unanticipated chemical reaction that I’m unaware of I’m not too worried.

This brings up an enhanced leaf dosing question. As I understand it +/- 25 mg is a healthy portion of spice. If one did a basic 1/1 leaf enhancement of 1 g each, that appears you should pack up 50 mg EL for liftoff. That’s a tiny bit of plant matter. No where near what you would put in a typical bong cone. Am I misunderstanding or miss figuring something?
 
Here's a hint when working Q21Q21: don't get over-excited by any (white powdery, or gooey) calcium acetate residues that turn up, although the gel that forms when calcium acetate is mixed with any of several alcohols is kinda fun.
