I have done a ton of DIY crazy builds but... wow lol never seen anything like that.
It wasnt too difficult. And its one of the cheapest things ive ever built.
Desk - $7
Vacuum gauge - $13
Thermostat/temp controller - $9
Electrical outlet & junction box $11
Saucepan (vacuum chamber) - $6
The heating element for the vac chamber was salvaged from a scented wax melter, the vac pump was salvaged from a discarded dehumidifier, all the plumbing amd wires i was able to salvage from my job, and the coffee grinder, and heating pad i had.
Definetly one of the coolest "Frankenstein" builds ive done. I had my grow in the attic behind a bookcase that opened by pulling the right book (i loved scooby doo when i was a kid) but i disassembled it before i moved and forgot to get pics. Simple gate latch, braided cable, and some hinges. Ya know, I think i might start a thread on this. 'Show off your stealth' contradictory, but what can you do in that sense?

You should for sure post a thread about that! I have never seen or heard of anything like that being made DIY! very cool idea!
 
So this is my latest batch.

Sub zero extraction with isopropyl. I dont call it QWISO because I dont do quick washes. 56g organic MAC 1 soaked 24 hrs in 2400ml isopropyl at -23C. One wash. Recovered yield was 9.8g.

Inside rotovap purging. Then off to the vacuum oven to finish.

Finished concentrate. No longer oil. Same consistency as shatter.
