Material List for Making Concentrated Cannabis Oil Extract

Note: We are including this information for example purposes, and including both a “budget” and an “upgraded” list of materials. While either materials list will work to produce high quality medicine, the quantity and quality may be slightly improved depending on the materials used. Be sure that if you substitute that you will be able to provide the same results. Please read all of the manufacturer’s operating instructions and safety precautions before using. 420 Magazine assumes no responsibility.

Budget Material List:

1. Rice Cooker: Aroma (6 cup capacity). It has a solid stainless steel removable bowl which has no aluminum and/or Teflon. Noteworthy: for approximately $10.00 more you can get a 14 cup capacity with removable stainless steel bowl, more than doubling the capacity. $38.00 – 50.00.

2. Warming Tray: Waring Pro. Used for the easiest decarboxylation process. $48.00 – 60.00

5. Funnels: Stainless steel wide mouth funnels. (3) needed $12.00 x 3 = $36.00

6. Pitchers: Glass pitcher for mixing solvent/flowers. $15.00

7. Vases: Mixed variety. These are used as collectors when the mixing pitcher is poured into the funnels. Just make sure the top diameter is smaller than 5.5” (the diameter of the funnels). Normally found around the house. They range from $10.00 - 20.00 at floral shops.

8. Unbleached Coffee Filters: Size #4 (fits the funnels mentioned). Around $5.00

9. Stirring Stick: Can be any piece of wood like Douglas fir. Size used is 1 ½” x 11/2” x 14” long. Sand the ends to remove any sharp burrs and make sure its untreated wood with no chemicals added (ask for help at store if needed)! Can be found at any building materials store.

10. Eye Dropper: In many cases this is a common household item. Used in case the oil gets too hot and to help dissipate the solvent/carrier faster (drops of water). I've not typically needed this, but I do keep one on hand just in case. Can be purchased at stores selling personal/hygiene/health products. $2.00-3.00

11. Hot Pad Gloves: Needed while handling equipment that is hot. Can be found anywhere that kitchen appliances are sold. Around $10.00


Upgraded Material List:

1. Fondue Maker: Cuisinart. May be more expensive than a rice cooker, but typically has a better range of heat control. It can be used as a double boiler set-up for the decarboxylation process. $60.00.

2. Extra Burner: Waring Pro extra burner. A great back up in case it’s needed or use as a first choice for the decarboxylation process. Keep in mind it has an adjustable rheostat with no read out so your adjustments will need to be monitored with your thermometers. $60

4. Portable Induction Cook-top: Vollrath "Mirage Pro". With an adjustable rheostat and digital readout, it would be my top pick for a portable induction cook-top. $436.00

5. Stainless Steel Beakers: This one is a 2 quart capacity. Cost is $102.00. Used for catching the solvent/carrier that drains down through the funnels. Also can be used as an more durable option mixing container. Make sure the diameter is less than that of your funnels.
