Today's THC extraction was a significant improvement over my first attempt.

My second run at this process yielded much better results. During my initial extraction, I made the mistake of letting the water distillation phase run too long - though even with that timing issue, the results were still solid.

This time around, I dialed in the process by stopping the distillation when approximately 80% of the ethanol remained in the distiller. The concentrated material that remained measured just under 10mL, which I then transferred to a bottom heat plate for the final evaporation step.

I've found that a simple coffee machine works perfectly for this entire process - it handles both the initial ethanol and cannabis filtration well, and provides the ideal gentle heat needed to evaporate the remaining ethanol from the final distillate.

I am curious about this extraction process and how much plant material went into making it.

Can you describe the process and all the materials required?

The cannabis tree makes my favorite variety of tree sap. Such a sticky, tedious mess, but oh so worth it

SO sticky. Gets all over my hands and so difficult to clean off. Satisfying result though. So pure and clean high

Cool usage of a coffee machine as distiller. Very low cost and #coffeechain. 🤣

That low budget mindset, you know 🫠

Excellent work, I saw a product recently that evaporates the alcohol under pressure and also retains it so you can use again. Will try and find the link

Am I dumb, is this exactly what you have?

Haha yeah! I reuse it

Awesome 🤭👌
