Sup ! got 500g of mhrb powder on the way. Looking forward to my first extraction and experience. Thinking about extracting in smaller batches since it's my first time. Not sure exactly what size batches. Also got a volcano for when it's ready. On the lookout for a good detailed tek for a beginner. Any advice vaping xstals in a volcano or a good tek would be appreciated. That is all. Peace !

You'll wanna look into Q21Q21's dry lime tek. It's safe, easy and efficient. "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein
"The Mighty One appears, the horizon shines. Atum appears on the smell of his censing, the Sunshine- god has risen in the sky, the Mansion of the pyramidion is in joy and all its inmates are assembled, a voice calls out within the shrine, shouting reverberates around the Netherworld." - Egyptian Book of the Dead
"Man fears time, but time fears the Pyramids" - 9th century Arab proverb

^^ i can vouch for the above tek being easy, high yielding, and detailed.

cooh , i'll check that one out too. lye vs lime tho.. I'll choose as soon as i receive my powder.

you could do either tek with calcium hydroxide (lime). their both good teks, any preference is personal. also, i would do a 50g (100g at the most) test extraction, if that is a success, i would do the rest of it in one go (maybe break it into half during pulls). My wind instrument is the bong
CHANGA IN THE BONGA!

Forget small extractions, its a waste of energy and materials. Go all in - makes you wanna follow the tek to the letter , which is probably a good thing.

Go all in - makes you wanna follow the tek to the letter , which is probably a good thing. I dunno a small extraction probably isn't a bad idea if you have zero extraction experience. If you are doing an STB you can just use a smaller extraction vessel as long as you use proper ratios. I prefer 15ml water and 1g lye per 1g of bark. I do think doing small A/B extractions is kind of a waste of energy though. Spending 6+ hours doing acid boils on 50g of material just seems inefficient. Quote:On the lookout for a good detailed tek for a beginner. I suggest reading up on multiple teks and trying to get an understanding of what step is actually doing. Once you understand what is actually going on you can see how simple the process actually is.

from expirience, quite allot of failure, trial and error. But eventually you'll get it right. Good luck. i wouldn't be firing up the volcano quite yet.
