I'm fixing to make a batch tomorrow and getting everything together I need to make QWET I believe they call it...

Any fuk who's this is how I do it....I only run buds,,, Trim is just not worth my efforts for anything.

Will work out my list of stuff,,,but you can guess by pics...

I'll do my best ,only one set of hands.

Mind you,,,I might be missing a few things,,,but I think I really got it all here.

I won't need all this bud, but all 4 of the pint Mason jars 3/4 full of ground buds....and 90% of the booze...

The bong / dab tools and stereo are must haves.

freeze the ethanol! and at least have bud at fridge temp! keeps chlorophyl down...

Yeah, I've done by it all the fore mentioned ways,,, really all you need is your everclear as cold as you can get your freezer to keep it.... I'll hold it the 5 min wash in the freezer...

But anyways,,,more of they to come.

P.S. notice how frosty the bottle of booze is.

Have you seen this Jammal? should have been a sticky but easily came up with the search term 'qwet'

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?threadid=200660

The only thing missing that I see in your set up would be a way to reclaim the ethanol instead of evaporating it.
Perhaps that is your intention and I spoke too soon.

Good luck with your extractions and be safe :tiphat:

Yeah man, I'll just evaporate the ethanol off...

I got a easy measured out formula, that's quick and efficient...I seen it come up in topic recently and thought it be cool to quickly share how I do.

Ok , provided you have a clue.

1st step....baam, freezing cold everclear in with groud bud in pint jar, lid, shake, in freezer for 5 min.

Give a shake every few min...

Put your everclear back in freezer also...try to keep cold....(my freezer is stupid cold , in the -55f range, so I don't worry to much) just try to keep things cold...I've tried with out diligence and honestly it's not much different.

Next step: the "chemical rinse"

Ok, so you need to drain the last little bit of the good stuff from the jar you just emptied....

Quick pour a little fresh cold everclear in, toss on the lid, shake a second and drain into the next jar...

Burned off a good amount of alcohol,,moved to kitchen counter now to finish...

Until it's really thick you can swirl it around and it will recollect itself to a point...it's easier than scraping it up with a razor....

Most of it ,,,right at the end,, while it's still warm goo,,, I'll pour it off.. .

It will harder to shatter if you want, but since only everclear and water are the last things to purge it's not bad to leave it just a touch gooie to work with....I melt it into bowls pre smoking them until it absolutely absorbs and hardens...it's fun to watch holding a lighter to the hash oil and watching it bubble and then nelt and harden into the bud..

Just finishing up...

Test oil for consistency...you can see it's turning to shatter where fully dried,,,,it's nice to try to get just under that...like tree sap...

Scrap up with razor and tools...

Ended up with 8 g of potent concentrate ,,, probably do a lot better with hash plants as oppose to sativa but,,,you can't get the same effect...

Strain is Malawi X Caribe

Much of it could be distilled in a simple distillation apparatus, but it would be diluted with water and other things from the plant matter, making it a less effective solvent. The water can be removed later without fractional distillation, but a little alcohol would have to remain in the residue for the resin to be fluid enough to transfer. Much solvent is retained by the pot - it would need to be heated to remove it, and some other solvent would be needed to remove the baked-on pot. Using alkane solvent is much simpler with the water insolubility, you get a higher recovery of purer solvent.
