Extraction Another solventless extract attempt ?!?

[Mossy]

I really don't mean to be contentious but dagnabbit and doggoneit water is the original solvent.

No-one is arguing with you @olderthandirt

Without biological solvents, we are dead and with them we live healthier lives. Our lives depend on water so much because life itself cannot exist without being dissolved in a solvent. Water, which dissolves more substances than any other liquid, is considered the universal solvent. Water as a solvent is the medium for all living organisms. All cells contain a minimum of 85% of water, with most fluids inside and outside of the cell likely to have at least 90% water. Both transportation of molecules and chemical reactions take place in dissolved water.

The idea that water is a medicine is not new. In chemical terms, the water molecule is strongly dipolar, this property makes water a very effective solvent, particularly for crystalline salts. So, water is the solvent of the body & it regulates all functions, including the activity of everything it dissolves & circulates.

Wow..Interesting stuff @budelee ......and Infinitely Safer than using Solvents..

How did the PH 11 water cost compare to solvents..?

I wonder what our BS drink comes in at. Next time I make some I'll check the PH..little bit of BS may be all you need.

Hmm..BS is a good degreaser..and basically degreasing IS what you are doing isn't it..?

The company will give the water for free, but their main goal is of course to get you to buy their system.. The water is de-chlorinated and such.. Which is why i mentioned maybe distiled and then pH up.. Yes it is a basic de greasing of the oils frim the buds.. It just never really crossed my mind till i saw the the flyer saying "will emulsify oil"....ding ding ding.."im gonna try an extraction"" .. I think it was a good eye opener..

Maybe i should change the title .. Maybe solvent wasnt the best word...

 

[bad dragon bzzz]

sorry,poor terminology on my part.i wasnt sure what % of water was in the water,and didnt really want to call it a solvent as opposed to calling it treated water.

I know Mossy. I just git these spells ......

Ah gee, now I ....... BRB.....

Hey! You! Yeah you with the little dog, GIT O MY LAWN!!!

Where was I, right, Ah gee now I went and opened my mouth and now I feel bad.
My silly schtick regarding water in no way diminishes the OP or the experiment or the results or the lessons learned.

Oh hell. I need to go hide now. That wasn't a little dog with the lady I just yelled at, it was a little kid.
Nobody will find me in the chicken coop......

Its all good archie.. My title of solventless is just not correct.. In terms of comparing to iso,eth,bho and so forth, my title was meant to "specify" those types of solvents,which have inherent dangers during the process.. And possibly leave residuals behind..

No worries bro..

@budelee thanks for the shout, I have been lookin for a safer extract method

 

[Ripped In Oregon]

@budelee thanks for taking the time to do the experiment and give everyone a safer alternative way to extract. Rebel needs to make you an unique "Mad Scientist Innovator" badge. great work.

Hey @Vapo69 , @Ripped In Oregon ,no prob guys.. Ill run some more experiments with water extracts and different product..i.e. Dry ice hash and others i have.. Also some second rinses ..
