Extraction Magical Butter Machine

So I finally received my Lift decarb from Ardent and decided to have its first run yesterday on 4/20. I decarbed 8 grams from my first ever grow of Barney's Farm Pineapple Express auto. I'm going to put this into a tincture batch I ran 3 or so weeks ago in the MBM2 and rerun it to see if I can up the potency.

I think one of the benefits is there is little to no smell durning the process so A+ for stealth. The whole cycle ran for 1 hour 40 minutes from pressing the button.

Here are the pictures.

How did you get on mate? Any notable potency? I've just ordered an MB and got my Ardent Lift downstairs. Haven't used it yet. I've also got an alcohol distiller on order. The idea was to go from decarboxylator to MB2 to alcohol distiller to hotplate to reduce tincture to MBO if required ( I have a lot of RSO/MBO to make for people).

Few questions about the MB machine too for anyone who knows the answers:
- would it be best to make MBO on a 'no heat' setting? (I'm thinking the whole cold locks in the chlorophyll and plant waxes etc so heat might 'bring them out' more?)
- would it be best to make MBO on the 'clean' function (ie. more of a 'quick wash' than a long wash)
- Can you make smaller batches of MBO in the machine but directly from bud? (eg use 1 ounce instead of 2.5 and less alcohol)
- What are people's yields of MBO compared to their starting amounts? More/less than traditional methods? The site seems to state quite an inflated yield, I was wondering how true this was.

Cheers :)

Hi Milkmann! I'm so new at making tinctures that it's a hard question to answer. So I went a little crazy an ordered this.

It's going to be a little bit before I receive it. Meanwhile I did rerun my previous tincture in the MBM and added more bud. I then reduced it on the way to MBO using a crockpot. I didn't quite get all the way there like in their recipe to a maple syrup like consistency. I've actually not really tried using it yet as I think I will wait for the tCheck to test the potency and get a better idea of how The Lift work and my method of reduction.

If I'm understanding your question correctly you can not use only bud in the MBM. You need to combined it with a minimum of 2 cups of liquid be that alcohol, veritable glycerin, butter, oil. With the tincture I ran it on the 8 hour setting with ever clear.
