What Is AVB (Already Vaped Bud)?
AVB (Already Vaped Bud), sometimes called ABV, is cannabis that has already been used in a dry herb vaporizer like the Puri5 Aviator-5.
Even after vaporizing, your herb still contains active cannabinoids, making it perfect for edibles.
Instead of wasting it, you can reuse AVB to create infused cookies—saving money and maximizing your material.
Why Use AVB for Edibles?
Using AVB comes with a few key benefits:
- Already partially decarboxylated (ready to use)
- Saves money by reusing material
- Strong, long-lasting effects
- Easy to cook with—no complex prep
What You’ll Need
Before getting started, gather these simple ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup AVB (finely ground)
- 1 cup butter (unsalted)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1–2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Chocolate chips (optional)
Tools:
- Saucepan or double boiler
- Strainer or cheesecloth
- Mixing bowls
- Baking tray
Step 1: Infuse Your Butter with AVB
Even though AVB is already activated, infusing it into butter improves flavor and potency.
How to do it:
- Melt butter on low heat (do NOT boil)
- Add AVB to the butter
- Simmer on low for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally
- Strain the mixture using cheesecloth
- Let the butter cool
👉 This creates AVB cannabutter, your edible base.
Step 2: Prepare Cookie Dough
- Mix butter and sugar until smooth
- Add eggs and vanilla extract
- Slowly mix in flour and baking soda
- Fold in chocolate chips (optional)
Your dough should be soft but not too sticky.
Step 3: Bake the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Scoop dough onto a baking tray
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown
- Let cookies cool before eating
Step 4: Dose Carefully
AVB potency can vary depending on:
- Original strain
- Vaporizer temperature used
- How much cannabinoids remain
Start low and go slow:
- Begin with ½ cookie
- Wait 60–90 minutes before consuming more
Tips for Better AVB Cookies
- Water cure AVB to reduce bitter taste
- Use chocolate or strong flavors to mask earthy notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container
- Label clearly and keep away from children
Why Vaporizers Make Better AVB
Using a high-quality dry herb vaporizer like the Puri5 Titanic-4 improves your AVB quality:
- Even heating preserves cannabinoids
- No combustion = cleaner material for edibles
- More efficient extraction before reuse
This means your AVB is cleaner, smoother, and more usable for cooking.
Final Thoughts
Making edible cookies with AVB is one of the easiest ways to get more value from your cannabis.
With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can turn leftover material into potent, delicious homemade edibles.
