    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    Optimal takes some playing with cause it is a balance of vacuum depth, bath temp, chiller temp, chiller pump speed, rotation speed, fill percentage and flask size. Essentially you want to get condensation up about 90% of the condensing coil and have it be stable there. Smaller flasks will...

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    And that is 40 in the boiling flask not 40 as the bath temp for clarity. You really don't want to be changing from one flask to the next as your volume reduces. It is essentially pointless unless you really like cleaning glassware. You aren't going to ever want to go completely to dry in the...

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    Sub lingual and rectal are mucous membranes so absorption is pretty different there. Lipid solubles will cross skin anywhere but delicate skin like the nipples would be be faster than the bottoms of your feet. I agree that DMSO would give you more predictable results and if you want a easy...

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    I would have agreed had I not been high off my ass with no other intake. Try a bit of decarbed oil in MCT on your forearm. 20mg total dose seems about right for me but onset is after well over an hour. No dose data for anyone else. -Eskander

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    No, been tied up with work. I played with it a bit after I had an accidental exposure that floored me. Dosing is hard to control and the effect is enduring so if you go over, you are on that train for a while. Decided it wasn't worth pursuing unless I had someone that couldn't smoke, vape or...

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    I just suck it into a syringe with a blunt needle. It is hot enough that it flows freely and is easy to collect from the corners of the bags. Depending on your use, you could just toss a ml of MCT in the bag after you get what you can directly and then collect what dissolves in the MCT too...

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    I can test loss with charcoal on a fairly small scale by dissolving some extract in 2ml of ethanol and then dividing that, adding activated charcoal to one and shaking it for a bit then centrifuging both tubes down, purging both tubes on some preweighed parchment and then weighing them both. To...

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    This actually went through charcoal once already. At the time I was unaware of quite how much canabanoid loss that would result in but MoeRed and literature suggest it is between 1 and 50% with the 1% guys typically coming from people selling carbon products. I'll run TLC on some before and...

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    So after decarb the was done, it was about 2/3rds black oil and 1/3rd solids that resembled asphalt when cooled. Far and away the worst looking shit I've ever made lol.. So obviously that needs some clean up. I redissolved in EtOH and filtered which got out this: The white is the coarse...

    cannabutter with peanut butter instead of butter

    Infuse peanut oil and then mix in peanut powder until it is as thick as you want. You can toss in an emulsifier to keep it from separating too. Roasted peanut oil will give you a nice flavor over the neutral stuff. -Eskander

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    Partially burned material aught to be partially decarbed. Stuff closer to your mouth isn't going to get hot enough. The sous vides will all hit the target temps an maintain them. They are cheap as dirt cause they sell so many unlike the lab gear which is only purchased by industry and nut...

    Spin dryer for ethanol extraction

    Good concern for sure. Seems to be ABS which has good ethanol resistance. I wetted an area on the outside for 10 min and there were no signs of etching. I snipped off a bit from the bottom and weighed it out. I'll leave that soaking for a week and weigh it again. -Eskander

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    My lab ended up with a case of the dow corning grease right as we were told to switch to apeazon for compliance reasons so it is all I've ever used. I'm a bit surprised it made that much of a difference for you as I usually have an extremely light coating on my joints. I wipe them and then rub...

    How to perfect the process of extraction at home

    If you are not intending to decarb the oil but want water gone, it should be mostly gone around 105C but decarb rate is going to be very slow You will still have tiny amounts tied up in the oil unless you purge a thin film of it in hard vacuum. Whether that amount of water makes any functional...

    Quality empty carts since SPRK sucks...

    I've been filling SPRK ceramic carts for a while and initially thought that my wife breaking them all the time was just her being ham fisted. After giving a dozen or so to friends, nearly all of them told me that they broke them before finishing the 1ml fill so I'm going to go out on a limb and...

    Spin dryer for ethanol extraction

    Seems to do quite a lot better than I can manage by wringing out flower in a nut milk bag. I put in some flower that I'd tried to squeeze as much out of as possible and in short order a fair amount more came pouring out. I'll try to quantify my solvent recovery from a soak in the near future...

    Polishing a turd with DE and Charcoal

    Good info. Handy chart for sure. Which short path did you end up with? There are a surprisingly wide range of prices for gear that looks pretty similar... I'm not sure most of the equipment I have actually makes financial sense since I don't sell anything. Still fun to play with and...

    Polishing a turd with DE and Charcoal

    Been thinking of going to short path but I'm not sure my volume of throughput would make it worth the effort. What is the smallest run you would bother with? Offhand, I can't see doing it with less that 100ml of crude. Also, do you distill the terpenes off separately or collect them in the...
