**panta** · 04-05-2009, 01:15 PM

thats the question and is it necessary to cook it to evapporate or can i just leave it till its dry

Yes, but ethanol extracts more than just the Hash Oil, making the oil harsh.
The best extraction solvent is Butane.
If you cannot find out how to do it somewhere online, I'll explain if you want.

All you need for the butane extraction is a bottle of butane and a piece of pvc and two cap. The butane extraction is 100X faster than the alcohol, the butane will evaporate and be ready to smoke in 20 minutes. Itll take a whole day with alcohol

there ya go. It says to avoid plastic, but I use pvc anyway.

Compressed CO2 gas works incredibly well, and it's the de-facto standard for oil extraction in the perfume industry.

basically, fill up a tube with weed, have one end with a cap and a hole drilled in it for the butane, the other end has a coffee filter and then a cap with a bunch of holes drilled in it. Put the butane in the hole on top and let it spray over the weed and out the coffee filter onto a glass plate or bowl. let the butane evaporate, and theres your oil. Make sure to get good butane, like colibra or vector, dont get the shit from the gas station. You have to go to a smoke shop.
