Making Honey Oil With Vegetable Gycerin?

[Rewphy Layzherz]

I guess I'll start off by saying hello. My name's Rewphy and I'm a lurker, but recently I had a friend (who owns a dispensary) tell me he had just finished a batch of honey oil. I asked what solvent he used and he said glycerin. I have experience with glycerin tinctures, but he said he let's the weed sit in there for an hour, strains it and then evaporates it on a double boiler. I tried searching google but can't find anything about people doing this, just a couple threads about using tincture in e-cigs. At the time he told me this he was on his lunch break and lunch was a giant ganja ice cream sandwich so maybe he just didn't know what the hell he was saying... idk too too much about the chemistry of extractions, just enough to perform them efficiently and safely. So this question is for the more chemistry savvy smokers, but would this at all seem possible? He told me a friend from high school showed him and he assumed everyone had heard of the method...

Hmm. Ive never heard of that and dont think its possible, many people make THC tinctures with vegetable glycerin (I have done it before), but you cannot turn the tincture into honey oil from my understanding.
Also, the process your describing doesnt sound like a way to make thc wax, but rather tincture.
The only possibility I could think of is if you make the THC tincture from glycerin, then boil out the glycerin? I dont think this would be possible.
Your friend must be talking about tinctures, the only extraction solvents I have come across for creating wax are Ethanol (very disgusting and the most inefficient way), CO2 extraction (nice clean taste), and BHO extraction (my personal favorite and easiest).
Hes probably super stoned on that ice cream bar lol

Lol, turns out he actually just calls his vegetable glycerine honey oil and smokes it from a nicotine vaporizer.
