Howdy all,
SWIM decided to whip up a batch of VG tincture using the Magical Butter machine. He didnt realize how pulverized the plant material would become after the tincture cycle. After letting the tincture sit for 3 months with the pulverized material suspended in the glyc, SWIM used the supplied filter bag to strain some material out. Only a minimal amount of plant material was recovered.
SWIM took it a step further and set up a filter flask with 101 filter papers and applied a vacuum of 20 psi. At most, a few mLs dripped through before the filter was clogged. SWIM attempted to retry with warmed glyc to assist with viscosity, however, that did not help.
Anyone have some tips or pointers to help SWIM filter out the remaining plant material?
Should SWIM try to use steel mesh filters?
TIA!
P.S. End goal is to vaporize the VG in pens and not ingest as an edible.
