After drying for a day, the THC oil is looking less RSO-y. I have been kinda stirring it and spreading it around every so often. After checking the Source fb group, it seems a lot of people will allow their oil to dry on a silicone mat, then kinda fold the goo and stir it up over a week or so.
Love kicking my alcohol extraction into the next gear! Lots of new stuff learn!

I’ve been told doing this to the oil is called, “whipping”.

What’s it for?

It’s an Ultrasonic Cleaner. I plan on putting my herbs and alcohol into there for the wash. The yield should be better with a shorter soak time, among a myriad of reasons to try this. .

Hell yeah!
I was going to buy a paint can shaker as @ThcinKC is using, but this looks interesting as all hell.

I was just going to go with a rocker table or something, but then I stumbled across Ultrasonic Extracting and thought: hey, I can rig something up to kind of approximate the fancy schmancy stuff.
I plan on still using ethanol, then putting the filtered solution into the Source. Hoping to seriously increase yields.

Sounds like a solid plan. Great work, thanks for sharing.

I hope it didn’t cost as much as the ones in the link you shared.

Oh, gosh, no! Lol! It only cost $60, plus the Source was $486. Significantly less expensive, but still made me po’.

Latest CBD run. Used 2oz decarbed CBD trim, 2 cups of ice cold 190 proof, and the ultrasonic machine for 12 minutes.
Fresh from The Source:
After a few hours on a heat mat:
About 2 days after processing:
2 full days after processing. Just stirred it up. Isn’t it beautiful? Tomorrow, it’ll be turned into some incredibly smooth tincture:
Next THC run I do, I hope it turns out as nice. Will try making a cart, if it does.
