You can get them cheaper than you think. They are great for any sort of extraction. All you need is about a 500mL Erlenmeyer flask with a sidearm, a tube, stopper, ceramic funnel, and hand pump. A few places even make it a convenient package. At any rate there is nothing suspicious about it and it can be had easily for about $60. If lets say, the idea of not wasting trim alone is what you need it for, then it would save you so much time and hassle that its worth it. Plus maybe grow some morning glories and harvest, dry, and grind some nice immature seeds. Make a tincture. Your cool new vacuum filter proves handy. Got some dried cacti on your hands? I promise you won't miss fucking with that gunk. I promise it will be worth every penny, especially if you are nuts about psychoactive and medicinal plants.

again you're adding a step that's not needed in this extraction. Most people don't want to be bothered with a vacuum setup. I'd say it's safe to assume 90% of the people out there don't even know how to work under a vacuum.

I understand what you mean that most people won't bother with it. Its not really an extra step though. Its just a more efficient tool for the coffee filter step. Its simply a device that pulls the liquid through the filter paper, which is a finer filter anyways. Rather than waiting for it to drip through. There's not much to it. I wasn't trying to complicate your tek though. I was just pointing out that an electric drill would do the job faster and more efficiently than the hand held screwdriver so to speak.

I suppose, but still, it's not like it took hours for the liquid to drain through. It just didn't sluice through as quickly as i thought it would. Essentially you only need the filter to make sure the little bits of trim don't get through, you could probably use a more porous filter if you wanted to.

 "Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." - Abraham Lincoln

Cannabinoids aren't alkaloids. Cannabinoids don't have any nitrogen atoms.

Could VM&P Naptha be used for this extraction? It is mostly hexanes and similar weight hydrocarbons, and it evaporates clean.
I wonder if THC could be "gelled out" like a dmt freeze precipitation...

very, very nice! I see you use the lab grade reagents. Your final product was probably a bit cleaner then what i produced, i also don't have the luxury of a hot plate.
Do you recycle your hexane?

coda do you think it really needs that long of soak in heptane? id imagine if you did it faster you would have a lighter looking oil. i havent tried this yet but i do use ethanol and butane depending on how much money is in my pocket and where im at. ethanol picks cholorphyll up very quick along with thc so if theres ethanol in your heptane i would think a quicker process would be more pure. im sure that heptane would get most of the thc probably in 10-20 mins of just shaking, correct me if im wrong. also have you ever tried putting the heptane in the freezer first so it chills the ethanol? that might help alittle also.
edit: i ment hexane not heptane. sorry i was talking about something else to somebody and heptane came up and wrote it here. another case of writing my thoughts not what i was meaning.

Even less time. I used the same brand of contact cleaner as Coda and followed the same procedure, except I used two 5-10 minute washes with plenty of shaking. I'm confident most of the resins were extracted. I also used the contact cleaner to dissolve the resin in my vaporizer whip. A quick spray dissolved the resin instantly.

to tell you the truth i was just following the advice of someone else on a different board. He let his jars sit over night which was actually a few hours longer then I let mine sit.
The only way to be sure would be to do a side by side test. Compare the oil from quick pulls to the oil from a long extraction and see what's better. Personally if the oil and yield was the same or better from a quick extraction you would be a lot better off. The thing is this isn't like ISO or acetone, you'd have to have multiple cans of hexane, or a large volume of it, to do multiple pulls of the same material. It may get a little bit expensive if you don't recycle your solvent and become impractical if you can get the same results from letter it sit longer.
However, like i just said, if there really is no benefit from a longer sitting period by all means do it quicker. I'll be doing some more experimenting with it come the end of the summer, but for right now my closets empty and i have no material to play with.
