Had 2 gummies....1 at 8am and another at 11.......always weird eating it. Sometimes it hits me in 45 min and sometimes it takes forever then bam! This was the first time making gummies.......don't think I made the tincture correctly but it is working and they do taste awesome! Decarbed 7 g of dry ice hash and put it in 2 oz of alc. Then reduced it down to 5 ml. Used 2.5 ml for 24 gummies. The reduction was a little wet......I think I need stronger alc it was only 100 proof?

I was told by a friend (and confirmed it by experiment) that eating something fatty with a dose makes it hit faster (rate of absorption) and harder (area under the curve).

You need at least 180 proof for effective extraction. The residue should be a dry powder sort of like tiny rice hulls.

Stupid state can't find everclear anywhere.......I might have something closer but I don't know how much closer.

You may consider a two-stage extraction. 91% iso (when you can find it) followed by evaporation. Heat to about 100 degrees C (monitor and control temperature closely) to remove solvent and decarb. About 30 minutes at this temp or 10 minutes at 110 C.

The residue can be taken up in your better alcohol.

I am curious if your filter residue is a dry powder or still gummy. If dry, you’ve got good extraction efficiency as you are. You still need to extract, decarb, redissolve.

Probably about 20 years ago I made something like rso before I ever heard of rso........thought it tasted like shit but that's what I thought I was going for yesterday. Just with less length of time in the alc so not to take out to much chlorophyll.
I believe RSO is a hydrocarbon extract. Much fewer dark or bitter impurities. Sourcing a good hydrocarbon can be dicy.

I don't know what you mean by "filter residue" I have a a syringe that is now separated and has a dark and light brown layers. Dark on the bottom but all sticky liquid. Not dry at all

New Braunfels, Texas. Founded in 1845 by German settlers, New Braunfels is overflowing with old world heritage and small town Texas charm. From boundless adventures on our two beautiful rivers to wholesome entertainment at Schlitterbahn Waterpark and Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch & Caverns, the activities and sights are endless. We’re also home to Texas’ oldest bakery, oldest dance hall, and Wurstfest an annual 10-day salute to sausage.
Yep awesome city, plenty of old shops. In fact there is an old bakery there that's been open since the 1860's I believe. Good food to. Wurstfest prolly isn't gonna happen for a while though they had a fire there not to long ago, but they are rebuilding it, so we'll see.

If you extract bubble hash with a good solvent, you get a solid residue. It is a tan, dry and very light (like rice hulls) material with an almost sandy texture.

I don’t know your process. Please explain it in detail, or link me to where you did so of you wrote it up on this site. Then I can probably give you useful info.

I am having trouble visualizing a syringe with two liquid phases in it. Where do your solids end up? I seek detail.

Hope everyone had good long weekend.

Ours started off quiet but we had one of those unexpected Saturday nights where we're quickly outnumbered. 2 guitars turned to 4 and before long the sun was coming up.

Sunday I made hangover food. Beer can bacon burgers.
