Oh nice, I'd like to see your tech for the cream. I've done infused coconut and olive oils before, for topical use (arthritis, nerve pain, burns, rashes, etc).
Good advice on dosing. Yeah, it sucks when somebody tries cannabis and over doses a little, then doesn't want to go back to it, thinking they will have that same experience each time. Kinda like helping a friend do shrooms for the first time, and making sure they have a good trip! With cannabis people can get anxiety, or confusion, or awkward thoughts they can't handle... so yeah going nice and slow is key for newbies! It's kinda like pharmaceuticals that way. Sometimes you get drowsy from certain meds, for example... but then you get used to it over time and can handle the full dose.
Anyway have fun with your new machine! I've known people who owned one (many years ago even) and they always say they like it.
