Hi everyone, I thought it was about time a done thread showing the way I make my oil. There are a few different ways people make there oil but this is my way. I've been making it this way for a few years now and find it bang on. This should be done outdoors for extra safety but it was raining a bit so I did it inside my conservatory with loads of fresh air..
First off a look at everything I use to make it.
Isopropyl alcohol or isopropanol,
NO SMOKING AND NO NAKED FLAMES WHEN USING ISO YOU COULD BLOW UP.
½oz Exodus Cheese, 1 Crock Pot, 1 Mason Jar, 1 Kilner Jar, 1 large Coffee filter, 1 Silicon spatula, 1 syringe, And most importantly a FAN, FAN, FAN, I can't stress this enough if your doing this indoors, and make sure your next to an open window.
Put the weed in the mason jar and give it a good smash about with the spatula. Pour just enough ISO into the jar to cover the weed, put the lid back on the mason jar and give it a good shake for about a minute, Then let it stand for 10 minutes, making sure all the weed is in the ISO.
After the 10 minutes are up, open the jar and take the centre piece out of the lid, and replace it with the coffee filter.
Give the jar a swirl to loosen the weed, then tip it upside down into a Kilner jar big enough so the neck of the mason jar goes in.
Leave it until all the ISO has been filtered into the kilna jar.
Repeat the process, cover with ISO, give it a bash, leave 10 minutes. quick swirl and filter into kilna jar. If you want to do it a third time you can, but i do mine twice, Then I throw the weed away.
Set the crock pot up by an open window, as open as possible, and set up a fan behind it so it can push the fumes from the ISO out the window, I should have used a bigger fan but It's being used in the groom, so I've had to do it with a smaller fan, but there's plenty of windows open. TURN THE FAN ON, pour the ISO from the kilna jar into the crock pot and turn it on high
As the ISO heats up it will start to evaporate and leave a bit of an oil slick up the sides of the pot. just give the pot a sloosh round and the ISO will take it off.
As the ISO evaporates it darkens, when It's near the bottom I put a hammer handle under one side off the crock pot so it concentrates the puddle.
When all the ISO has gone from the pot the oil will be still with no bubbles. Then add a couple of drops of water into the oil, It will start to bubble again, once the bubbling has stopped the oil is ready. The water is added to the oil to make sure all the ISO has gone, as water boils at a higher temp than ISO, so if the water is boiling off it means the ISO has been boiled off.
Then all you have to do is syringe it up while It's hot. It will go hard but all you need to do is run the syringe under hot water when you need to use it.
The finished product.
