Smokerx, did you do a reX? You got a really good yield. Just curious what that would be reduced too after a good heptane reX? Might try this one next time it needs to be done. I have an overactive imagination, and am certifiably insane. So anything I post is purely fictional.

Very impressive. I will be trying this for my next extract. Changes come.

@Smokerx when did you do your first, second, third, & fourth pulls? "There is no teacher, no pupil; there is no leader; there is no guru; there is no Master, no Saviour. You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru; you are the leader; you are everything. And to understand is to transform what is." - Jiddu Krishnamurti

existentialism - the philosophical idea that your own experiences & thinking initially determine why we exist and subsequentley, how we can fulfill our existence (our life). /////// I believe most of us come to the conclusion that we exist to exist, that there is no other answer for life. What we all debate in our own minds is how we should go about fulfilling our lives.

i like to take my time with this tek. i let the vinegar and water soak in the bark for 2-3 hours, once i add my lime i like it to sit for 8-12 hours, then add naptha and do first pull and freeze precip for 12 hours, then 2nd pull 24 hrs, 3rd pull 48 hrs later, 4th and 5th pulls if needed 1 week later for each pull. I've found that doing it this way you'll get 90-95% off your first 3 pulls. if I'm doing a small extraction I'll keep pulling until i have no yeild, but for larger extractions i'm done after 3 pulls unless the 3rd pull is significant and so on

D Empty wrote:When teks mention using water, can one use tap water or must it be DI, or can bottled water be used? And vinegar from the store comes pre diluted, so would you add however-many mL of the vinegar, or however many mL of acetic acid. did not see this one  Tap water is fine but I normally use DI. Just get white vinegar from any store it will do the job just fine. We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

@smokerx
Hey, sorry for bringing up a dead thread but this post is very informational.
I'm about to start the tek and I have noticed that the consistency is a consistent (no pun intended) issue when everyone tries this tek. You said you oven dried the mix? I assume you scooped the mixture out of the mason jar into a bowl and placed the bowl into the oven or did you just stick the jar into the oven and scooped the crumbly mixture out?
And for the oven what was your optimal baking time and temperature for the mixture?
And one last question
you said you combined the first two pulls. What did you do with the first pull while you were waiting to do the second pull? Place it in the freezer and then combine the two pulls after the second pull was finished?

Just a bit of heat not too much you only need to worm it up to dry it a bit. Do not put it on high temp! I remember that I even left the oven door open a little bit. I was then just watching it every like 5-minutes for consistency till it was right as you see on the picture. You do not need to do this step if you get it right from the beginning. spiritualdensity wrote:What did you do with the first pull while you were waiting to do the second pull? I think I just left it in a closed glass jar till I got the second pull We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

I don't mean to be a bother but as you're scooping the mixture to put it into a bowl how did you deal with the potential loss of goods. In your picture the mixture looks very pasty, how did you get all of it out into a bowl and into the oven?
I would think putting the jar into the oven and getting it to the right consistency to pour the crumbles out into a bowl would make more sense but you said you did it the other way. Can you explain that for me?

I would think putting the jar into the oven and getting it to the right consistency to pour the crumbles out into a bowl would make more sense but you said you did it the other way. Can you explain that for me? I may not understand exactly the question you are asking? I mean you just simply empty the jar into a bowl or any kind of cooking dish suitable for oven. What potential loss would there be ? You just make sure you empty it all. Also do not forget that I only did this because I did not get the right consistency at the beginning but if you do it right you do not need to use oven at all. And the the last comment: if you leave all of it in small jar it will take very long to dry it out. You need to spread it all on bigger surface that is why I put it on bigger cooking tray. Hope it helped We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.
