Fat isn't soluble in ethanol

If it's bubbling then there's still alcohol in it. As long as you have it between 100 and 140 degrees Celsius nothing other than the alcohol will bubble

My method is now patent pending.

I just bought everything I need to distill and filter my oil. I went with the 2.5 micron filter. Also got some bigger filters to try refining kief. And some other stuff. Gonna have about 15 different experiments going on

Thanks I was literally about to buy 100 20 micron filters. I think I'll try the 5

So I tried treating it with a really strong light while the cannabis was still in the ethanol. Not only did it take out most of the green in the tree and turned the liquid golden. It also seems to have gotten some of the trichomes off. There's way more sand at the bottom than what's in the...

Red velvet pie under my microscope. Magnified 100x

I'll for sure share, and I'll come up with a name after I see it under my microscope. But the high speed mixer sounds like a good idea. I was trying to crush them with a butter knife but I don't think it did much. It was all I could find. I also tried boiling it for a few minutes before I did...

I really appreciate the help by the way. thanks again to both of you

Thanks for the info. I'm trying it now. Also gonna experiment with some ideas I've come up with, and study the fats under my microscope. Also, while looking at the leftover plant matter, I notice there's still a lot of trichomes left. It's mostly just the type that keeps bugs away which contains...

Thank you

What does the color difference mean? I always thought the darker it was, the stronger it was. Is it just from removing the wax? Does that have all of the cannabinoids that were in the bud or does the filter take out some of those? Sorry I have a lot of questions, and would rather get info from...

I can't argue with that

I'm saying it's too small to be a hair covered in something. you might be right, but it looks exactly like a trichome under my microscope. Just a lot longer. I found some other ones last night but they were all a lot shorter. 3-5 times longer than a trichome on average, but always about the same...
