What is ABV? 🍀
Vaporization is becoming increasingly popular. No wonder – it’s the best way to use the beneficial potential of herb CBD or other herbs. During such inhalation, many valuable active ingredients reach your body, and at the same time it is completely safe for the body, due to the lack of harmful substances in the vapor from the Vaporizer. Vaporization is also extremely pleasant – a good quality Vaporizer is able to provide excellent taste and aroma of the vapor.
After finishing vaporization, we are left with CBD herb. It turns out that you can reuse it. Herb that has already been vaped, we refer to by the abbreviation ABV (eng. Already Been Vaped). Another, though less popular name, is AVB (eng. Already Vaped Bud). So you no longer need to wonder what ABV is. It’s simply the herb that remained after your vaporization.
What to do with vaped material after vaporization?
Not everyone knows that vaped material can be reused. Certainly, it’s not worth throwing it away immediately after finishing inhalation. Although it might seem that such ABV material is completely useless, it’s not true. You can reuse it in many interesting ways.
Of course, ABV material differs from material that hasn’t been used during vaporization yet. Its color changes primarily (from green to brown), as well as its smell. Much depends here on the vaporization temperature, inhalation time, cannabinoid content before inhalation, as well as the quality of the material itself. In most cases, however, ABV material still contains plenty of terpenes, as well as a certain amount of cannabinoids.
ABV – recipes 🍀
You can find many ideas on the internet about how to use ABV material by adding it to food. It’s worth experimenting a bit! Of course, you can simply eat such material without adding it to any products, however it may have a slightly bitter taste. Certainly a better idea is to prepare simple, homemade cookies or a cocktail. 🍪
Using ABV is an art of recycling in the world of cannabis, allowing maximum utilization of every gram.

🛒 ABV and food products
One of the most commonly used ways to reuse ABV material is by adding it to food. ABV material is suitable for consumption without additional heat treatment, because it was previously subjected to a decarboxylation process.
One suggestion is to add ABV material, for example, to peanut butter and use it to prepare a healthy smoothie or sandwich. Peanut butter can be used in the kitchen in many interesting ways, also for preparing delicious dishes.
Cannabis butter made from ABV is also very popular. You can use ABV to prepare it. Oil, which can be prepared using ABV, is also of interest. Making such a butter is very simple, and it will certainly surprise you with its aroma.
Cookies with ABV 🍪
ABV can be used by dissolving it in oil and adding it to various types of home-baked goods, such as cookies or muffins. This process allows for the extraction of remaining cannabinoids and terpenes that remain in the material after vaporization. Importantly, this material will not significantly affect the taste or aroma of the cookies, which means the baked goods will retain their original taste. Thanks to this simple way of using ABV, you can create baked goods that combine delicious tastes with potential health benefits, making them a perfect alternative to traditional snacks.
Tea or coffee with ABV 🫖
While cannabis tea is currently very popular, using ABV to prepare coffee or tea is a solution that is known to a rather small group of people. Adding ABV to coffee – especially coffee with milk – can be a very interesting idea. You can do the same with your favorite tea. Such material will not significantly affect the taste of the drink, but it will give it a very interesting aroma. In a simple way, you’ll create coffee or tea that will delight not only you, but also your guests interested in cannabis.
Tincture with ABV 🍷
Although preparing homemade tinctures may seem very time-consuming, people who try it once very often treat it as a new hobby. It’s hard to blame them. Contrary to appearances, preparing a tincture is very simple, so in a short time you can create a product that will have many interesting properties. You also can’t forget about the interesting taste!
If you are a fan of various tinctures – fruity or sweet, for example coffee or gingerbread – a tincture with ABV will certainly be to your liking. To prepare such a tincture, you need to add the material to high-proof alcohol, close the bottle, and then wait a few weeks. It’s worth shaking the bottle from time to time. After a few weeks, you need to carefully filter the liquid to remove any residue. And it’s ready!
Such a tincture is also a very interesting idea for a homemade gift – of course for a cannabis fan!
Can ABV be smoked? 🔥
Some people wonder whether ABV herb can be smoked. Of course it can be burned in the form of a joint, but it is not the best idea. During smoking, many toxic substances enter the body, which certainly will not have a beneficial effect on health or well-being.
One solution may be to use ABV herb when using a bong. Of course, the content of cannabinoids will be lower here than with fresh herb, but it’s an interesting option for people who like to experiment. People who like to use a bong can test such a method of using ABV herb.
ABV herb – summary
As you can see, ABV herb, which has already been used during vaporization, can be reused. There are really many methods. You can add it to food, prepare delicious cookies, cannabis butter, and even a tincture. One thing is certain – throwing away herb after vaporization is wasteful, because such herb still contains plenty of terpenes and cannabinoids. It’s worth using it again.
