A proper sonicator such as the Hielscher UP400St cant be had for less than $3000CAD......USED! Hell, one on ebay is going for $9,999.00-USED. Can anyone point me towards something affordable? So here is what I am thinking of. Please chime in and tell me what you guys think. Before you all say...

What is ironic, is since I made the original post, I am having a hard time 'finishing' as wax or crumble. I have since abandoned a 'fluid' extract. I am more for the wax and crumble. Far superior flavor and overall smoothness in my opinion. The last batch I made, I paid very close attention to...

I would not add water to it unless you are wanting to increase the viscosity or lower potency of the extract. It is difficult to evap water without ruining the concentrate. Possibly 'over-decarb'. If you didnt get all the water out, the residual water content would make it even more difficult to...

Came across this article. Anyone add any validity to it? Woman with Alzheimer’s shows improvements after taking magic mushrooms in single-person study

What vaporizer is that? And does it work with pretty much any battery? 510 threads? I am looking for a better solution for myself. Was using CCell carts. But dont work without thinning my concentrate. SACRILEGE! Resorted to a glass banger and torch. Works great. But not very handy by any means.

At 212F (h2o - 100c boiling point), and with an extended period of time, the oil would decarb somewhat. Fully decarbed? Likely not. And also, it would take longer to fully decarb....... if it did. If your goal is to dab, vape, or smoke the extract, then dont worry about decarbing. Only decarb...

Yes. This can definitely be a problem if filter cake not properly formed. - Buchner funnel - 1x 3000ml Vacuum flask (for a 112g extraction, I use a 3000ml flask) - 1x 500ml Vacuum flask (500ml, use this one to make the filter cake. - 400ml beaker or alike to mix DE slurry in - Appropriate...

So on the weekend, I did an extraction on approx. 2Lb trim and kief. I used 6000ml 99.9% IPA to extract with two washes. I normally filter the initial extraction thru DE to winterize and remove fine plant particulate. I vacuum filter using a circulating vacuum pump like this one. When finished...

@DAZYB I am not sure I am having winterization issues or it is something else I am doing or not doing. Using 99.9% IPA to extract at -20c. My goal is always to have the concentrate finish as wax or crumble, as above. But it is hit and miss. Most times it finishes as oil. Any idea what I could...

I am glad he did. I picked up a few tips I would otherwise have missed.

When you filtered thru the DE cake, did you use a fritted Buchner funnel with or without filter paper? If so, that maybe your problem. I use the perforated funnels in tandem with 1.5um filter paper to filter thru DE. ******Mix the DE into a slurry with whatever solvent was used to extract...

So once the dry sift has been cleaned to the point @GNick55 has it in the picture below, would a person still have to worry about sub zero extraction? That is if a person was to put it into an ethanol or IPA solution and process it further? Could a clean extraction be done at room temp? Or best...

I found cold curing is really a thing. I dont freeze it. I refrigerate it in an air tight container at around 3C +\- for a minimum of a week. Transitions to wax or crumble. If terps were retained, terps will sweat out and almost 'pool' in the concentrate. Very aromatic and flavorful.

LOLOLOLOL! All credit to @GNick55 for the pic. It is his from this thread. I thought it was quite obvious and no need to mention. I was in no way trying to take credit for it. But my question still stands. Would it be crying shame to put that into solution and process it further. Or would that...

This looks fucking amazing! So clean! Would love to sample it. Great work @GNick55 ! I wish I had the resources to do what you do. Unfortunately, I am limited to whatever bones buddies throw my way. Just a question; would it be sacrilege to take the dry sift in the picture and process it...

@cpurola, @Derelict999 @GNick55 Your filtering woes can be solved inexpensively. Use a perforated glass Buchner Funnel and filter paper. I filter down to 0.45um no problem. A cheap pump such as this one...

ChatGPT conversing with her-him-it 'self? EDIT: Hey, at least I quoted ChatGPT.

Hey @GNick55 . Always enjoy watching your vids. This last one, I saw where you could potentially increase your final yield. I noticed you just squeeze out the residual solvent in flower by hand. There is still a considerable amount in there. Even using a wine press. What I found works best for...

Hey. Thanks for the reply. Yes. As I understand, the device does create heat. To mitigate that, I would run the sonicator intermittently. Also, the solution would be at sub-zero during the process. So that will mitigate some heat as well. I have also considered an ultrasonic cleaner. The...

Sorry for going off topic a bit here, but this is sonicator related. I have often thought about using ultrasonic waves to winterize. My theory is that it would accelerate the process as well as offer efficiency. I would use the probe type. Has anyone done this? Or would it be a waste of money?
