    water distillation is a whole different animal, and it operates at significantly higher temps which wont work well with cannabis so it will be much cheaper because of its limited capabilities SkunkPharm is awesome. They are most loved by me because they are where I first started my education...

    I can't say what's best because I also don't have testing capabilities, but this is what I do I'm including a link for what I do. 1oz of 10% will give you 2800mg to work with. https://extractcrafter.com/2016/06/04/rso-rick-simpson-oil-using-the-source-home-healing/

    I was mostly wondering about the CBN conversion. For an extract the 26% THC is low, but if you soaked the plant material for 30 days it might make sense. I'm not sure I would use your method, but if it's working for you that's all that matters

    Ok, I haven't seen this one before. May I ask 1) what the average temp is during the crock pot phase? 2) do you use decarbed herb to start with? 3) what is the goal of three days in a mason jar in the water in the crockpot?

    Everclear in a crockpot for three days sounds amiss. Are you confusing an extraction with an oil infusion by any chance?

    ah, i see. May I ask why you soak the trim for 30 days, and boil for 3 days? Meaning what are you making this for?

    Hi, I'm not understanding why you can't get the GOM because of the linked comment? I thought for your focus the GOM would be useful, but did something change?

    Hi, Tough question, but for your single application I might lean toward the GOM for volume and your method does not require a whole lot of attention. The main thing you are going to give up with the GOM that works great with the source is the ability to keep the temperature during extraction...

    Timmy, I'm having trouble figuring out your point here. I notice these are your first ever comments and participation. You started by saying it is boiling all over no matter what liquid volume and its unavoidable. Then you are using outdated temps at sea level I assume you are getting off...

    We will agree to disagree I suppose. I was using it in LA last week like I posted. I have used this machine more than anyone in many places. You are wrong and your temp is wrong, if you think it's right, and you want to continue your improper use of the machine that is your choice and there...

    Sorry, I missed the questions you posed at the beginning of this post. Again, I have used this at sea level a number of times now, in fact between me and monsoon we are the ones that figured out the altitude problem between us. To my experience your claim of 115-120 is the best it gets at sea...

    Again you are confusing different operational aspects of extraction, science, and more specifically operation of this machine. First you were talking about boiling over no matter how much is in the machine, which is wrong and inaccurate. You were also then alluding to an excess about of...

    I was in LA last weekend working with a Chef friend of mine and we measured the process the whole time with a thermometer in the cup while running and it never broke 103f so I'm not sure how your are monitoring it or measuring it, but they don't go to 120 unless they are run dry, like you are...

    Putting a Pyrex dish on top will cause heat to raise rapidly and quite high. The thin cup will not transfer heat well. The alcohol in the cup itself is essential to maintaining a balance between the vacuum, heat delivery, evaporation, and condensation rate management. It is a hack that is...

    I'm not sure what you are doing, but the Pyrex solution you are using displays a fundamental lack of understanding of how the machine functions. I have lots of friends using it at sea level with no problem. I would suggest you call the company and get some assistance. They should be able to...

    Hi Timmy, I see you are having problems, but if you are using a Source Turbo your cause and effect are completely inaccurate and may spread disinformation so I feel the need to comment.

    Agreed, don't think I would buy anything I use once a month. Having said that I still like having the only appliance I own that pays me back every time I use it AND gives me undeniably the best medicine I make.
