I need a distiller... My MBO is made with decarbed bud run for 2 hours at 160F. I evaporate outdoor by putting the solution in a pyrex dish that I place inside my charcoal grill. I cover with a piece of cheese cloth to keep dust and bugs out. I close the lid and leave the grill in the sun. a few hours and its done! But damn I hate wasting all that EXPENSIVE Everclear....

Its wouldn't take many runs to get very costly! It would be great to be able to reclaim a good portion of the clear. Someone posted a machine that did just that but it was small and expensive
Part of me wonders if this post is brushing on some taboo talk, similar to the BHO stuff where the higher ups might not be fans of it in the open forums. Someone lemme' know if I need to and I will take it down if it crosses a line I'm forgetting about.
I read once someone doing a kind of DIY distiller using a pressure cooker, some tubing and a mild heat source. You need one of the older style pressure cookers that has the little nipple sticking up off the lid for the pressure regulator part to sit on. You attach the hose to that nipple, then run it over and down back into a bottle sitting low (like on the floor). Use a low heat something to warm up the cooker (or probably better yet...a double boiler type water bath setup) with your material inside and the alcohol will evap and condense back into liquid as it is pushed/drains down the hose into the bottle. Won't reclaim 100%, but will get a fair portion from what I've read.
As always...do this sort of thing OUTSIDE!!!! Working with pressure and heat and flammable materials...so BE SAFE!!!

Hi MBM fans and AFN! I just got all I will need for my first run in the MBM2. I'm psyched!! Unfortunately leaving town & going to no-signal-land for a week, tomorrow. So, hopefully y'all don't mind helping me plan ahead. This is one of my last chances to get online before I come home and want to get started on my first MBM run.
My Current Bud:
I have 2oz of nicely cured & trimmed bud (dude said 1 is Green Goblin and 1 is Golden OG...since it's come a long way to get here (I assume) I never trust that the strain names are correct. I also have 1 oz of Double Dreams)...but I'm in TX and therefore have no idea how old it is. Seems standard freshness of what I always get here.
Research. I wonder if it relates to the MBM?:
I read a study fairly recently saying that THC was highest in oil (after being on the stove being stirred constantly and kept at constant 250 degrees by a machine) at the 6 hour mark, so that piece of info sticks in my head when thinking about the MBM. It makes me think I should run the MBM for 6 hours on high???? I know that is nuts, from what I've been reading about the MBM.
My most recent batch without the MBM (best batch I've made yet), & my tolerance:
A month ago I made cococanna oil. With that batch I used 16g of good bud, decarbed, used everclear spray (as used in high times canna butter contest), and lethicin, for 6 hours at 250, stirring very well every 25 minutes, with 5oz oil (figuring I'd lose at least one oz). I've found that 1/4 teaspoon barely takes the anxiety edge off but I can feel it, 1/2 t is great to be extremely functional but anxiety is greatly reduced and all pain is gone, 3/4 to start feeling a light fun buzz, and 1t to get a fun buzz and smoke a lot less. So 00 caps take .8ml-.9ml (I have trouble getting more that .8ml in...maybe its just me?). With the batch I have it takes 3 to get to feeling functionally medicated (~1/2t) & 6 to get me to a perfect buzz. I would take more at a smoking party or when partying alone with hubby. To give you info on where my tolerance may be, on a week night I take ~10 hits every time I smoke and I smoke every 10-20 minutes (earlier in the night after work) to 30 minutes later in the evening (less because of residual buzz).
The bud I get is quite good, but not the very very best. It's not coming straight from a dispensary...but I guess thats obvious since I live in TX.
WHAT I NEED FROM Y'ALL
:
I'd like to make cococanna caps in one week+ with the MBM that are maybe a tiny bit stronger than what I have right now. I know there is absolutely no science behind what I did with my last batch, or what I smoke daily or in a session. UGH! Sorry! LOL!!! BUT can you guys give me some suggestions on how much herb to use with 2 cups of oil? Also what time and temp? I'd also like to consider doing less with 1 cup of oil and 1 cup of water if y'all think that's cool???? Any and all questions, comments are welcome and appreciated!!!! I don't want to use more that 2oz if possible so that I have something to smoke. I think that the Double Dreams doesn't look as fresh as the other 2 bags, a little dry (if that matters)...it gets me high like the rest.
I am also a 7 year nicotine vaper after 18 years of smoking cigs (can't quit cause hubby still smokes...cigs available in my house). So I'd also love any thoughts of if vape juice is worth making with the MBM with the tolerance that I have? Can you really make it strong enough to be worth it? If so, how?
Thank you all very much ahead of time for your input!!! I'll do my best to reply today a time or two if I'm luck enough to get a reply of any sort. I'll do my best to respond after that but that will depend on where our travels take us outside of signal-land and guaranteed no service by Sunday thru Saturday. Disclaimer-I'm high!!! LOL
ROCK THE FUCK ON Y'ALL!!

So, hopefully y'all don't mind helping me plan ahead. This is one of my last chances to get online before I come home and want to get started on my first MBM run.
My Bud & my medicinal needs & likes:
I have 2oz of nicely cured & trimmed bud (dude said 1 is Green Goblin and 1 is Golden OG...since it's come a long way to get here (I assume) I never trust that the strain names are correct. I also have 1 oz of Double Dreams)...but I'm in TX and therefore have no idea how old it is. Seems standard freshness of what I always get here. I'd love to make my first batch with organic cold pressed coconut oil for putting in caps. It will only be me taking them so they should last for a while. I do have a herniated disk hitting my sciatic nerve, and panic disorder (including a constant unpleasant level of anxiety & insomnia) but it doesn't take much edible to kill that stuff. AMEN!! I do like to get different amounts of high. I like to be able to completely function and have a little in my system to take the edge off of the anxiety. I also like to get baked.
Strange thought?:
My brother in law is a chef and has been cooking weed meals for me for over 20 years, even before he married my sis...so I know I love medibles!! I read a study fairly recently saying that THC was highest in oil (after being on the stove being stirred constantly and kept at constant 250 degrees by a machine) at the 6 hour mark, so that piece of info sticks in my head when thinking about the MBM. It makes me think I should run the MBM for 6 hours on high???? I know that is nuts, from what I've been reading about the MBM.
My most recent batch without the MBM (best batch I've made yet), & my tolerance:
A month ago I made cococanna oil. With that batch I used 16g of bud that was so dry when I got it, it turned to shake immediately (just to use what I had, but I'm rounding to 14 in my head), decarbed, used everclear spray (as used in high times canna butter contest), and lethicin, for 6 hours at 250, stirring very well ever 25 minutes, with 5oz oil (figuring I'd lose at least one oz). I've found that 1/4 teaspoon barely takes the anxiety edge off but I can feel it, 1/2 t is great to be extremely functional but anxiety is greatly reduced and all pain is gone, 3/4 to start feeling a light fun buzz, and 1t to get a fun buzz and smoke a lot less.
