Hi all. I gonna attempt making BHO and then infusing it into MCT oil with added lecithin. I understand the process and the risks involved, so those aspects are covered, but I do have some questions and would really appreciate input from the pro's here. 1. Why is stainless steel mesh preferred over coffee filters and where do I get the right mesh? 2. I'm planning to use low heat (double boiler) to purge, that is sufficient right? 3. If the answer to number 2 is no, where does one get the right gear for vacuum purging? 4. Must I put the herb and butane in the freezer? It seems that no-one can agree on this... I get the fact that the actual butane can would probably not enjoy the -15C in the freezer, but as I understand it when you freeze the flower, the trichomes detach easier, so maybe just freeze the herb then? 5. If I use 20g, hopefully get a 10% yield, which will give me 2g extract. My plan is then to infuse this into 10ml of MCT, giving me 200mg/ml. I'm trying to create a rudimentary "metered dose" this way. Am I making sense? 6. I've got absolutely no idea how these closed loop systems work, so my first couple of attempts will be open blasting, just to get a feel for butane. Maybe later I'll invest in close loop if it's worth it. Let's have a chat!

Alo. I'm new, so maybe the answer is easy, but why can't one vote on this poll? Wouldn't it be beneficial to leave the voting open? I also medicate the moment I knock off and have never had issues. I find I drive much better when the spasms in my back are under control, so it definitely helps me to be a better driver as I don't focus on the pain anymore.

Very cool podcast. I checked the second one too with Charl from Join the queue. It was very insightful, I was living this little fairy tale that if I do get busted, I'd tell them my story and they'd go easy on me... Ignorance is bliss I guess. It shocked me to realise that they really don't care who they arrest. I guess vigilance is still the name of the game, for now at least...

Hi all I'm happy to be part of this here forum, my main goal is to learn (and maybe teach/share too). My journey with the plant started at varsity, because you can't spell Potchefstroom without Pot... So I had a blast there, but then joined the "real world" and left that foolishness behind... Fast forward 9 years and I'm medicating with my "old varsity buddy". Not so foolish after all. I treat my mental illness and rather severe back and neck issues with it. Thanks for letting me join. Thanks for reading.
