First extraction. What you think - Page 2 - Cannabis Concentrates - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

I would ask some questions first:

What is your end goal for the extraction? (edible, smoke or?)

Why did you choose Hexane as your solvent?

How many units do you have to process?

What state?

Just as Gray Wolf said, hexane is almost as volatile as gasoline.. there's a slight difference in the flash points (FP). Hexane's -9F and gas is like -43F. This is VERY important when dealing with open source hydrocarbons. So 40 degree temps mean that hexane is ready to ignite anytime! All that you need is correct saturation with oxygen and an ignition source and whallla! Your a BBQ!

You may consider using something like ethanol (everclear)? This is a much more stable and the FP is about 62F. So if you were going to perform this outside you are much safer. Inside may be fine, however ventilation is of course needed.
