LP> Easy THC Extraction v1.1
The method should work extremely well, but there is a caveat. Heating
alcohol is MUCH too dangerous for any average person, even WITH ventilation.
One spark can ruin your whole day.
An alternative, completely safe method is as follows;
Do the extraction as per instructions, and when you have the supernate
(the green fluid), put it in a quart canning jar. While you have been
letting the plant material soak, you should have been poking a hole in a
Mason jar lid and soldering a short length of copper tubing to it. Cover
your canning jar with this lid, put the clamp ring on it (the screwtop ring),
and use a common waterbed siphon device, which you can get at KMART, to which
you have attached a flexible tube. The tube outlet of waterbed emptiers is a
standard garden hose, so you will have to reduce it's diameter to the
diameter of the copper pipe that you soldered to the mason jar lid. Put the
quart jar in a sink with hot water in it, and attach the vacuum hose from the
waterbed device to it. When you turn on the water, the alcohol should begin
to boil, and will get quite cold. Just make sure you've got the device
adjusted correctly, you don't want ANY water to enter the mason jar.
