Got no replies on the "cooking" thread. I will delete it btw. I just needed someone to tell me if this is what I should get. I was trying to make an alcohol tincture. Once All The Everclear was evaporated, this is what I was left with. Is this supposed to look like this? I have yet to see a tinc like this, i think i found one that looked similar and some guy was talking all this mad s**t about it, so I think it came out bad. Just don't bash on me guys. Lol. It's very sticky and thick. Gooey

Ill help you out. What you made is not tincture. When making an alcohol based tinc you dont want to evap the everclear. I believe you made a "dirty" long wash ethanol oil. Not 100% sure if you could just re-suspend it in everclear but i believe so? What was your exact tek?

It is very dark, I'd imagine you didn't freeze anything, and planned on decarbing after evaporation?

I do a frozen 3 minute wash, evap to a smokeable piece of shatter than decarb the oil in a hot oil bath
Once all the co2 bubbles are released and it is fully decarboxilated, I then re saturate it with more ever clear, or glycerine

The mb2 is a horrible machine to make a quality tincture, if starting from bud

The heat and grinding along with a slovent like everclear pulls so much chlorophyll that it makes it the darkest tincture possible ime

Also do not trust the built in decarb cycle

I own one and it hardly use it for anything other than coconut oil

Yup, I got some really nice coconut oil and butter from this machine. Tincture, I'm trying. So what I did, I put in 3 cups of everclear, 2 oz of herb (some regginold) and set it to 160 for 4 hrs. I strained twice onto a saucepan, I put that saucepan on my electric cooker, candy thermometer read 169F, boiled till I was left with this crazy dark goo.

Ps I used 2 oz bud 1/2 of stems and trim

3 minute frozen wash? And by hot oil bath, do u mean simply adding oil and decarbing in the oven as u do with herb?

What you made is essentially RSO. The cooking makes it darker, at least for me vs just evaporating.

What are you trying to end up with? What is the use?

Thanks for ur help gro, but what is rso? I'm trying to use this for lollipops, if not possible then tootsie rolls again. I made one before this using lecithin, that one I was at least able to actually pour and measure, either way tootsie rolls were very potent. I made 30 from a tincture made using 1 1/2 oz herb.
This is what I used on my first run, 2nd pic is of current run.

I don't think you are supposed to evap all the alcohol out. Tinctures are usually liquid. I've done it with 151 but wasn't really a fan. The flavor was gross and it burned when put under your tongue. I probably didn't do it right though. I like IWE and QWISO. But if you can't smoke I am a huge fan of making coconut oil. It is super easy too. I can give you a link to the method I use if you want.

Yup, this one too, burns a bit. But still gAve me a crazy body buzz lol. And I think ure right, a few seconds before I took it off the cooker it looked just like in the "mb2 mbo video" but it quickly got rid of the very little fluids it had left. Lol. I'm hoping I can still use this though, like I said it still gave me a really intense buzz. And thanks man, but I'm only having problems with this Damn tincture. I even tried a glycerin tinc, and those tootsie rolls where no where near as potent as the first (using alcohol). I have lots of butter and coconut oil saved up already.

All you need to do is resaturate your oil with some more alcohol, and than you have a tincture again

Read all of these links and you will have a perfect understanding

When I reffered to a 3min frozen wash

The hot oil bath is a alternative to the oven for decarbing oils
It is the most effective way to decarb
