FWIW, I'm not trying to **** on your method it obv. works, but there's room for improvement.
The reason that cannaoil works so good is because you're transferring the thc from the avb to the fat in the oil which is much more easily absorbed into the blood stream.
The reason avb works so well is that the heating you did when you vaped it makes the thc more easily released to be absorbed by the fat of the oil.
If you use just enough oil to coat the avb you're not using enough oil to absorb all of the thc available. Just eating the thc in the form of avb will get you high but is not as effective as transferring the thc from the avb to the fat in the oil.
Use too much oil and you won't get maximum potency. Don't use enough oil and some of the thc goes to waste because the fat can only absorb so much. The additional cook time ensures the fat absorbs as much as possible and becomes saturated.
Swallowing any of the solids is a waste because the thc in the solids isn't efficiently absorbed by the body. The solids increase the volume you have to ingest to achieve the same effect and make the taste much worse.
If you get the ratio right you can ingest a pea sized amount of oil and get a better effect than trying to swallow a couple tablespoons of the mix with a higher avb solid to oil ratio.
"Perfect" Oil is completely saturated with as much thc as the fat can hold but with zero solids. You can further clarify oil by reheating and letting the solids (that got through the straining process) settle out while the oil is hot and then carefully pouring off the clarified oil.

Reason: at least that's what some dude told me once
