Ive literally cut stuff and run it. The dry ice keeps the moisture and everything suspended. Live resin experiment. LOL

Look on ebay and make an offer on one: that's how I got mine.

I got mine from their scratch and dent sale. Unit was perfect but the ice tray was mangled a little. Zero impact on performance.

Lots of source runs and info here: https://extractcrafter.com/2017/06/...action-battle-of-the-wash-dry-ice-vs-freezer/ I get a lot of good results with dry ice as well.

Hi, Sorry to take so long to get back to you; I was away. The Source creates the vacuum when you screw the screw closed. It's a fantastic machine IF IF IF you want to make concentrates, juices, dabs, etc.

I haven't made dabs yet because my bud was already decarbed, in which case you get an oil in the end rather than dabbable stuff. Using say half an oz or slightly less, the return of oil is small. I mix it with MCT oil to make vape pen juice and get a few mls of juice which actually lasts a good amount of time.

If I've got 100ML of dark amber ABV soaked ethanol. Around how much oil will this yield?
.1 ?
.5 ?
1.0 ?
Obviously the amount of THC in my ABV will depend on the exact amount, but the alcohol is dark amber color and has been fully filtered.

Anyone seen the new EtOH PRO?
Worth the extra $1000+ compared to the Source Turbo?

Just did a run with a oz of trim/shake of random stuff. Used the nova to decarb then QWET in the freezer for an hour while checking on it every 10 mins or so. Pulled apart material from everclear based on a dark amber color. Ran it through a Burner (so) filter. Comes out golden colored. Then into the Source. Took about 2.5 hr to finish the run in the Source.
From the oz I got 1.6gr of dabbable or edible oil. Pretty good yield I think for trim/shake.

I love this machine, and I've learned how to make vapeable concentrate so easily!! I also use this machine to concentrate my tinctures, and it recycles the alcohol, which has saved me some $$$. Each bottle of Everclear 190 proof I don't have to buy anymore lowers the price I paid for the Source. I saved $100 on Ebay where I purchased from a licensed seller.
The sap I made was a beautiful clear golden brown; I left it curing in a cool dark place for a while, and then I decarbed it in my Nova decarber. Vapes beautifully.

can you tell more about the process of making vapeable concentrates... can you use this concentrate with a cartridge... or how do you vape it (wax pen, e-nail...)
i am stucked between buying a rosin press, the source or a destill...
what would be the pros and cons of a rosin press and the source?
Well, the pros of a rosin press is the lack of any solvent. The con is the price point to purchase a decent press.
The Source is going to use a solvent to extract the goodness from your herb, then you can recover most of your solvent and use the extract.
Depending upon methods, your solvent extract may tend to hold more of the waxes and fats that gunk up traditional extract atomizers. Rosin extraction is less labor intensive, but the end result also can tend to run "rough" in conventional wax pen set ups. Pressing rosin takes very little time from start to finish. Using solvent to extract is a more laborious task, but can yield fantastic product as well.
Hope I gave you some points to ponder.....by the way, I have an old school Isomerizer and a Rosin press. They both can make good things better.

Hi btka: You can see my process here: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum/growing-community/268943-making-cannabis-sap-from-trim
I had to purchase a buchner filter and once I did that, I could produce a clear yellow tincture with no plant material whatsoever in it. If you leave the plant material in, you get RSO oil. If you remove all the plant matter, you'll get a clear tincture.
I also gave the plant matter a very quick wash, and kept it in the freezer. I agitated for a few minutes and then strained, then ran through the buchner funnel 4 times. The vacuum hose (used with a buchner funnel) was attached to the vacuum pump on my Source extractor. You'll see in the pics.
I personally think a rosin press will waste too much, and it isn't versatile. The Source is very versatile.
