I finally decided to make some cartomizers (might not be the right term) because that is what is being bought by my former flower smoking clients.
I opted for an ethanol extraction supplemented with dry ice in a cooler. It all seemed to be going well until the first filtering. I stupidly thought that coffee filters would be sufficient. Of course as soon as I started filtering it, I became aware that getting the liquid through the filter and separate from the weed was taking way too long. Sure enough, the resulting ethanol had a greenish tint. I went ahead and put the jars in the sun for about three hours to turn the green amber.
I am also planning on thinning the oil with terpenes instead of PG or VG. I have some "pineapple express" terps and a "flavourless terp" branded as "cutter". They are both Fogg Flavours brand.
Any constructive advice and info would be welcomed.
Thanks.
BTW, I do have a separatory funnel. That should make a hexane wash somewhat easy.
Also, I would like any information about where to get, and the preferred types of hexane. Where I am, the local chemical supply houses won't sell to me, but a few cities that Will are within driving distance.
