I’m watching, too…watching her do her thang! The crucible now has almost pure oil! Only about an hour to go!

I will give a full pictorial update when it’s all finished.

Here’s a quickie update! Still in the Source, with 10 minutes to go.

Well, mine isn’t finished yet. :grinning: Thanks!

Remember, this is the 2nd process of the trim, so it’s gonna be off-colored. I expect stuff that hasn’t been broken down for 11 days will produce good looking oil.

I won’t be able to remove it from the crucible until my wife goes to sleep, so it’ll be a few hours before I can get a pic of the final double processed trim run.

Tomorrow, I plan on doing the decarbed CBD trim.

It took me about 10 times to where I think I like what I get. Had about 3 times it “bumped” and had to pour it all back into crucible, clean off the inside of the tank and start over.

Oh, no! That sounds like a nightmare! :disappointed_relieved:

Yeah, this first batch turned out pretty much how I expected it to. No complaints, but can’t wait to do a nice, clean run.

I ended up with 10ml of tincture and 2grams of black goo. I have found the goo makes excellent Tootsie Rolls, so I’m going to make 8 Tootsie Rolls with those 2 grams of goo. Last tincture goo Tootsie Rolls I made were mind-blowingly, earth-shakingly strong, so I’m hoping for a repeat.

Awesome thread black thumb, now I need one.

Question, would this be a good almost RSO technique then finish in a beaker on hot/stir plate? And how hard is it to capture the goo?

For collecting the alcohol, it’d be great for RSO.

The goo floats, so it’s very easy to skim off. The fluid left packs a big punch, too. A twofer, really: tincture and hash oil.

OK, doing a CBD run using those 2oz of Casino Cookies trim I decarbed yesterday.

Did a 7 minute wash, then triple filtered it before processing it through the Source. There’s a lot of liquid, so this will probably take all day…rather than all week. Can’t beat that!

Top to bottom:
-First filter through milk bag
-Second through coffee filter
-Third through slow filter

Any of you who make QWET and other extractions, if you’re not familiar with the Buchner filter, I highly recommend checking them out. I am so glad I watched a few videos and saw how freaking easy they make straining. You do need a vacuum to make them work, but you can buy hand pumps if you don’t have a vacuum.

Man, if I had known about this funnel, QWET making would have been so much easier! The straining and filtering is the messiest, hand crampy-est, and most difficult thing about QWET, if you ask me.

Just received a reply form the Extractcraft folks…the sale on refurbished units has ended.

They did offer a $50 off coupon which was a nice gesture.

@merlin44, if you are not going to use the coupon can I?

@blackthumbbetty I’m all over that filter!

If you can breakup the cost "Maybe $$$ some " a Rotovap is better.

You’ll still need a vac-pump and plumb the chiller.
I zoomed in on this one and it looks like you may need to learn Chinese to run it
