How to Make Cannabutter in the Pot by Noids: 3-Step Guide

This guide covers exactly how to make cannabutter in the Pot by Noids — the compact herbal infuser from Amsterdam that handles decarb and infusion in the same glass chamber. This is Part 2 of the Pot by Noids series: Fordee has already decarbed 2.5g of 21% THC flower in the previous video, and now drops butter directly into the warm chamber to run the THC infusion cycle. The result is a reliable small batch cannabutter with no stovetop, no double boiler, and no babysitting required.

How to Make Cannabutter in the Pot by Noids: 3 Steps

Step 1: Add Butter Straight After Decarb

If you just completed the decarb cycle, the decarbed flower is already sitting in the glass chamber — leave it there. Open the top of the unit and drop your butter in directly. You do not need to melt it first or bring it to room temperature. Cut the butter into chunks if needed to fit inside the chamber. Push it down gently so it sits in contact with the herb.

For this small batch cannabutter, Fordee uses 227g (1 cup / 2 sticks) of butter with 2–2.5g of decarbed flower. The unit heats from the outside in, so the butter melts and surrounds the flower within the first few minutes of the cycle. No special prep is needed — just drop it in and close the lid.

Pro tip: Use ghee (clarified butter) instead of regular butter. Regular butter contains water and milk solids that require an extra fridge-separation step after straining. Ghee is pure fat — it produces cleaner pot by noids cannabutter with no separation needed. Fordee forgot to use ghee in this video and had to deal with the water layer afterward — learn from his mistake.

Step 2: Select THC Infusion and Run the Cycle

Close the lid, then rotate the dial on the Pot by Noids to the THC infusion setting — it is the diamond-shaped icon without “CBD” written inside it. The light turns green to confirm the cycle has started. This is the core pot by noids infuse butter cycle.

Unlike other infusers that use a fixed timer, the Pot by Noids uses an algorithm that calculates run time based on the selected setting and the contents of the chamber. With 227g of butter in Pot by Noids on the THC infusion setting, expect the cycle to run approximately 2 hours 40 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes. Walk away and do something else — the unit maintains a regulated temperature throughout and does not need monitoring.

Step 3: Strain, Press, and Separate

When the cycle completes, the Pot by Noids beeps and the light changes. Use a pot holder to handle the unit — it will be warm. Attach the included metal mesh strainer to the top, hold the unit over a silicone bowl or mason jar, and press the plunger down. This forces the finished butter through the mesh, filtering out the spent plant material. Press firmly to extract every drop.

If you used regular butter (not ghee): place the bowl in the refrigerator for a few hours. The butter solidifies on top and the water layer separates underneath. Lift the solid butter disc out and discard the water. If you used ghee: skip the fridge step entirely — the strained pot by noids cannabutter goes straight into your storage container.

Do not throw away the pressed plant pulp — it still contains residual cannabinoids and fat. Use it in brownies, cookies, or any baked goods as a secondary infusion source.

Pot by Noids Infuse Butter: Ghee vs Regular Butter

Choosing between ghee and regular butter is the most important decision in the pot by noids infuse butter process. Here is a direct comparison:

• Ghee — Pure fat, no water content. Straining is the final step. Cleaner result, easier cleanup, longer shelf life. Highly recommended for butter in Pot by Noids cycles.
• Regular butter — Contains water and milk solids. Requires a fridge separation step after straining. Still works perfectly well but adds time and an extra step.
• Coconut oil — Also pure fat, works identically to ghee in the Pot by Noids. More versatile for cooking and produces a cannabis coconut oil rather than butter.

Small Batch Cannabutter: Potency Calculator

Estimating the strength of your small batch cannabutter is straightforward. Use this formula:

1. Multiply flower weight (mg) by THC percentage: 2,500mg × 0.21 = 525mg potential THC
2. Apply ~80% decarb and infusion efficiency: 525mg × 0.80 = 420mg usable THC
3. Divide by butter volume: 420mg ÷ 227g = ~1.85mg THC per gram of butter
4. Per tablespoon (14g): ~26mg THC per tablespoon

Adjust based on your flower’s actual THC percentage. For a weaker small batch cannabutter, use less flower or more butter. For a stronger result, increase the flower amount — the Pot by Noids can handle up to 20g per cycle.

Pot by Noids Settings Overview

Five operational modes beyond the power button:

• THC Infusion — For butter in Pot by Noids, oil, or fat-based infusions using high-THC cannabis
• THC Decarb — Decarboxylates flower or concentrate before infusion
• CBD Infusion — Same cycle calibrated for CBD-dominant strains
• CBD Decarb — Decarboxylation cycle for CBD flower
• Evaporation — Reduces alcohol tinctures into full-extract cannabis oil (FECO)
