That process I mentioned isn't the shortest road to get killer oil, but it is arguably the easiest and the cheapest. Everything you need to perform that technique is a microwave essential oil still, an alkane such as hexane or pentane, an alcohol, and plant material. It doesn't require anything...

Lol I haven't been on this thread in like a week. Next time you get some cbd meds, you should make some holy anointing oil to make it more cost effective for you to medicate up bro. I'll post some pictures when i have the chloroform made, I've been waiting on vacuum grease.

You could steam distill the plant material to remove aromatics prior to extraction with butane followed by winterization and vacuum purge until no solvent is left and add back in the aromatics. You could make some really good wax out of shake by doing an extraction like this, but the like always...

Could be that your extract isn't purged enough, or that your containers are not made of silicone. Either way welcome to roll it up.

Just pull your vac as high as you can and then compensate with heat.

Yea the dry ice will help make for a better extraction, but you have to account for the boiling caused by the dry ice. Ever since I tried it the first time, I've been dropping chunks of dry ice into my solvent then adding material to my container to achieve something similar to a reflux but at...

The best way to utilize dry ice when your trying to winterize is by cooling the alcohol without making direct contact with the alcohol, all the boiling caused by the dry ice will not allow the waxes to drop to the bottom. If your having trouble getting waxes to drop out, maybe try adding some...

I was thinking the same thing lol.

Hey saybian, I've had limonene for a while now but am not sure what would be the most efficient way to use it as a solvent, would it be for initial extractions or would it be for polishing the extract?

For the most part I think that's true, because the waxes are what would potentially trap the butane and a lot of the purging process has to do with removing that small amount of butane that is trapped inside your wax.

Yes it works great, as bublonic said you can just add some ethanol to your dish and purge as you normally would. The butane will be gone long before the alcohol is gone, and this is an effective way to purge all remaining butane but your still left with the waxes that the butane picks up which...

I've never really heard of someone vac purging after it's been scraped into powder, that's a pretty good idea. I'm guessing when it's in powder like that it makes it infinitely easier to purge, am I right? I usually heat my shatter on the dish, it makes it easier to scrape, so I don't get a...

I know it seems that way, but you really would be surprised by how much I still yield compared to my previous method which was a 5 minute soak with no dry ice. I'd say with the new method it gives me a little under 2 grams from 14 grams of plant material, plus I get the health benefits for...

Just never forget to have a cold trap attached to your vacuum pump when your cold boiling solvents, you could very easily ruin your pump.

I have winterized my bho after doing the dry ice thermos soak, there is waxes being picked up, but the amount is significantly less compared to a normal bho extraction. Basically I'm willing to sacrifice some thc to my tincture, just for the fact that I can keep most of my terpenes when i purge...

Yup, anywhere from 10-30 second washes, so I can reap a couple of benefits: 1. It's about as simple, fast, clean as it gets without further processing. 2. I get to grind my material to dust, so I can fit more in my small container. 3. It excludes a lot of the waxes, which in turn make my...

I should have been more clear, i don't use tubes, I use the thermos soak method but I drop a few chunks of dry ice into my stainless steel canister before I add the butane, it keeps butane below is boiling point inside my container and prevents a lot of my butane vapors from escaping. What I...

Is there a reason why you chill it to -50 instead of something lower? Does it hinder cannabinoids solubility in any way?

The corn starch acts like a binder that keeps your product from being fluid. You wouldn't want to accidentally spill it and lose it all

I would enjoy listening to your hypothesis :)
