I've only made canna caps a few times so I'm still tweaking things but here's what I've got so far.
Ingredients:
• 1oz bud - your choice of strain.
• 8oz (1 cup) coconut oil or butter. I prefer coconut oil.
• 1.5tb soy lecithin
Directions:
Pre-heat your oven to 215° F.
Chop up your herb finely.
You can grind it but I've found it's easier to strain if chopped.
Sprinkle evenly into a small oven safe dish.
Cover well with aluminum foil, crimping up around the edges.
Place in oven for 30-45 minutes.
After 30-45 minutes, remove the dish and let it cool, WITH the foil still on. Letting it cool down slowly, allows any vapors to settle back into the material (theoretically).
Note: for the extraction process I prefer a Nesco 6-Quart Roaster Oven. I prefer this over a crock pot because it has temp control.
I used this in combination with a Digital Cooking Thermometer which comes in handy not only for more accuracy but also because you can set an alarm on it if the temp gets too high - in which case you'd just add some water to the mixture.
While you wait for the container to cool, Melt your coconut oil or butter in a pan on low heat.
Once cool, remove the foil lid from the pan and place the decarbed herb into the roaster/crock pot.
Pour enough distilled water over the herb to float it, then add the oil or butter over your herb and stir it up.
Set the temperature between 200 and 220 Fahrenheit and let cook for 12-18 hours, stirring occasionally.
Note: this step is where that digital thermometer with temperature alarm comes in particularly useful. Set it and forget it.
After 12-18 hours turn off heat and and strain the oil from the herb using a stainless steel mesh strainer, pouring the extract into a class or ceramic dish.
Note: I prefer a steel strainer but it's possible to use cheesecloth. Coffee filters do not work. Also, I don't throw away the herb. I let it dry as much as possible, grind it finely and put it in capsules also.
Place dish in refrigerator over night or until the oil or butter has hardened.
Once solid, separate oil/butter from the water, discarding the water.
Place solid extract in an oven safe dish and heat at low temp until liquid.
Once liquid, add 1.5tb of soy lecithin to the extract and stir gently until homogenized.
You now have cannabis extract ready to be used for cooking or for filling capsules.
Here are some things that I used that may help you.

Hope this helps. Happy cooking :)
Nesco Roaster I find its more versatile and avoids all of the issues responsible for the bad reviews on newer slow cookers. Low-tech, actual temperature gauge, metal 'crock' which won't break if I drop it 6 inches and because it's lighter weight it's easier for me to clean. I bought mine after my 'best selling' slow cooker with digital display and temperature probe started turning itself off. 2 batches of chili ruined and the thing wasn't even a year old.
