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

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)
