    Kleen extract

    I just bought a Green Oil Machine recently (www.greenoilmachine.com) to use for my QWET (aka Everclear/Ethanol) extractions. Was using a vaccum distillation set previously and was just tired of all the bulk and I wasn't even using it in a vacuum anyways as the cold capture to keep it at vacuum...

    Tek QWET - reverse osmosis extraction

    It's funny you say that, because that's exactly the approach I've taken so far. My background is in the computer sciences as an engineer, so I know the old adage of "just test it yourself" all too well. I read Skunk Pharm's QWET extraction technique, and immediately cracked open an old...

    Tek QWET - reverse osmosis extraction

    That's what I'm thinking too. Any guesses on what size membranes work best? I've been researching a few "membrane supply companies", am just trying to figure out the best way to even call them up to ask "hey, what membrane do I want to use to separate cannabinoids from a quick wash ethanol?"...

    Tek QWET - reverse osmosis extraction

    Alright guys - I want to theorize on this a bit. Plus, I don't have enough advanced chemistry knowledge to know the specifics of how one would actually pull it off, aside from literally going the old fashioned "test it myself" route. So - with that said, here's my theory / question: Is it...

    P.S. I should also report that the kief was pretty green, so obviously they spent a little longer shaking than they should have and there was definitely way more plant material than I would have liked (as evidenced by their full melt, which was probably made from the kief). I'm going to have to...

    I used 5g of kief (and 1g of "full melt bubble hash" of the same strain, that was definitely NOT full melt). A few observations: - While trying to dissolve everything, something just didn't want to dissolve. I kept adding everclear thinking I needed more solvent, and warmed the solution as...

    Seriously? So - pretty much just gobs of easy awesomeness? Am I reading this correctly that they're essentially saying "take room temperature everclear, insert room temperature kief, shake vigorously for [up to] 30 minutes to fully dissolve everything, and then simply evap (best done "cold"...

    I was about to ask where you got these wondrous screens, and then realized it was a link, thanks! Wish I could get them from Amazon and have them delivered tomorrow. I bought the s-filter, but my math is saying it's somewhere near 113microns, so not nearly small enough to filter out the...

    BTW - I should note: my yields, with 2 washes @ 3 min each, no decarb, whole flowers, would yield .5g shatter from 3.5g prime nug run pretty consistently. Usually split about .3/.2 between first wash and second, with the second wash always being "cloudier" than the first. I recently got an...

    @2clicker - I am fascinated with the dry ice approach though. I've got this on my amazon wish list: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009AQURTE/ ( and this to go along with it: http://www.harborfreight.com/1-1-4-quarter-cubic-ft-compact-cement-mixer-91907.html ). I'll bet it would be stupid simple to...

    I'm interested to hear how this turns out. I also happen to live in a wonderful, sunny, mountainous state where I can drive down the street and buy kief at $15/g from my friendly neighborhood dispensary - so if the kief route pans out, I may start just stocking up on bags and bags of kief...

    @2clicker - what do you mean specifically when you say "dry ice run"? Do you mean throwing some dry ice in a bucket with some bubble bags and dry sifting the kief off? Seems like yields would be much lower than what I could get by putting the entire plant in the solvent. Unless I'm missing...

    Oh yah, I forgot to mention: I never discard the left over plant material after my runs, I always drop them back in a mason jar with some more everclear and let it soak for a few weeks to pull the remaining oil, CBD's, and other material into tinctures. So this is partly why I decarb sometimes...

    Hey guys - I've been working from the Skunkpharm instructions and been attempting some good old grade school experiments. (I even busted out a composition book). I've been experimenting with testing different techniques against each other and yields / taste / etc.. I started out with super...
