    All things cannabis press related

    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.

    Decarboxylating question for those with the wisdom I need.

    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...

    Made my first cold shake green dragon. Was not terribly successful.

    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...

    Water Contamination in Solution. Am I fucked?

    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...

    bho/ethanol ratios for winterizing

    @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...

    bho/ethanol ratios for winterizing

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

    Made my first cold shake green dragon. Was not terribly successful.

    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...

    dry sifting to hashish pressing

    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.

    dry sifting to hashish pressing

    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...

    dry sifting to hashish pressing

    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...

    New Updated 2023 QWISO methods etc.

    @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...

    Detailed method of acetone based RSO generation? And/or: convince me NOT to use Acetone

    New Updated 2023 QWISO methods etc.

    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...

    Ultrasonic cleaner for tincture extraction?

    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...

    Ultrasonic cleaner for tincture extraction?

    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?

    Cannabis Tincture Potency Shade Scale.. How Not To Make Zombie Tincture?

    Was that extracted in the freezer? Or at room temp? It looks pretty dark to be extracted sub-zero. Normally when properly extracted at sub-zero, the solvent should be a light amber colour or maybe just a hint of green. Looks like you added the solvent to plant prior to freezing. Dont worry...

    Extracting with 150 proof ever clear.

    OUCH! I wont even drink that shit let alone use it for extracting! As well and needless to say, it is only 40%. Unless making tinctures, DO NOT USE liquor of any sort other than 195 Proof Everclear or equivalent. Maybe super high proof vodka if absolutely no other option. The remaining 60% is...

    Lets Talk Holy Water

    Agreed. I tried them. Never again! Absolutely ruin your hard work. I found that with even with bunk weed, a good extraction and process can litigate the foul taste. Carbon is your friend.

    Problem with oil transitioning to wax

    So after actually reading all that our friendly Ai bot spit out, skipping or 'softening' winterization is the only real option? Is this true in your expert and educated opinions? I do not want to add anything to my extracts.
