Using LĒVO to Make Vegan Cannabutter

Using a LĒVO at-home oil infusion machine, such as LĒVO II, LĒVO C, or LĒVO Lux, can further streamline your process. LĒVO’s machines simplify every step of the process. They allow you to decarb your flower at the precise temperature and for the exact time needed to activate the THC without over-processing or burning. LĒVO’s gentle, blade-less agitation motion also lets you infuse your butter uniformly, so every serving of your vegan cannabutter will contain more evenly distributed THC and therefore more precisely controlled dosage.

Once the infusion is complete, you can strain your vegan cannabutter into your storage container without the need for any extra equipment. LĒVO’s power pod will do all the straining for you. You will also greatly reduce the risk of burning yourself because you won’t need to transfer any components from place to place in your kitchen. The whole process takes place in the same machine, at the touch of a button. All removable parts are dishwasher safe and easy to clean, making post-process cleanup a breeze.
