Spot on!
Don't forget gloves.
Them jars get cold.
And the filtering takes time.

I did the whole thing inside the chest freezer because our ambient is >80 F..

6. Leave them in the jar.
Just decant the liquid into the filter and pour in more chilled solvent right away.
Then you can get to shaking while the filter drains.


8.5. Go for it. Probably less than 5% on the third rinse but it beats trying to squeeze out the last of the solvent from the spent bud.

I give the spent buds to a friend who is trying to quit smoking tobacco but is subject to random piss tests.
He calls it O'Doules.


12. It takes a while to get hot enough to bubble.
And much depends on how much solvent is still present when you start.

I can tell you that the tiny bubble phase takes less than half an hour.
And the stare at it constantly part was for folks with poor reading comprehension.

You actually understood the process right off.
So, trust your judgement.
You can see, hear, and smell the progress.
After the first de-carb vigil, you will know when, and for how long, you can risk leaving it unattended, yah?

When this is done, I'd like to mine you for information about the effects of the Whipple.
My wife has a litter of neuro-endocrine tumors in her pancreas.
Small, and benign, so far.
We are watching them closely.
I assume it's like instant onset diabetes?

Meh, we've already muddied this thread a bit.
Perhaps we should start a new thread in the medical forum to document your progress.

Aloha,
Weeze
