I use powered Sunflower Lecithin at 1 teaspoon per ounce of oil.

edit:
I'm an idiot for trying to trust my memory. That 1:6 ratio above is what I use for liquid Lecithin. For powdered I use 1 teaspoon to 2 ounces of oil. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Since the amount question has been answered, ill just champion for MCT oil.

In a recent infusion I used liquid sunflower lecithin in mct oil and it did turn the infusion a chocolate brown. Not sure if thats at all important to you. But it mixed well with a minimum of heat.

MCT oil is pretty fast acting IME. This is the best oil for infusion/tincture ive made. Easy to make, quick for effects, stays liquid, doesn't need refrigerating, very little taste, and goes with most any food or by itself.

 

I'll add to that. Made a QWET tincture and reduced it most of the way earlier today. Just added an ounce of MCT oil and a half teaspoon of lecithin and have it on a cup warmer to evaporate off the remaining alcohol. Looking forward to testing.

 

If I may inquire what are you creating and post the recipe your attempting and maybe I can spot a pitfall you can't see.

In my experience its faster than even coconut oil, more on par with a tincture under the tongue. And the taste is pretty much neutral.

I just made a sore muscle rub from another infusion that I used hemp oil as a carrier oil. Hemp oil tastes terrible I was sad to learn, lol.

BTW there are 591 drops in one ounce. One gram would be 150-160 ish mg. That would make each drop .25-.27 mg. IOW pretty weak, and that is if you extracted 100% , something that's not likely. But one ounce is 6tsp, and 25-26mg per tsp, something to keep in mind when you dose.

 

Unless you get each bud tested we're just using estimates. 150 mg per gram is a general number frequently used. Obviously 27% would be more, but I'm suspicious of that high of a number. It happens for select top buds, but it's not very common.

The real test is on yourself when you eat it. The old advice to start slow would be appropriate.

 

Just a bit of information.
Coconut oil is 54% MCT oil already.
MCT generally seems to run 4x the cost of Coconut oil and I personally didn't get any faster onset then I did with straight Coconut oil.
If your going to use it as dropper material the LouAna Liquid would be my choice.

I bought nutiva brand mct oil off amazon. It's made from 100% coconut oil and organic. No palm oil.
Organic MCT Oil

If you take a look there is a lot of mct out there, some of it is crazy expensive with names like " brain octane" lol. And others fairly cheap.

I've been pleased with other nutiva products in the past. Plus, if possible, I like to stay with organic products.

In my case it works faster than regular coconut oil. It stays liquid unlike regular coconut oil and doesn't need refrigeration. So it wouldn't be good for capsules.

Also for me, I'm not all that into eating a lot of oil, so a strong infusion allows me to use less. Literally drops per day.
