Hmmmm, well it's pretty smelly in my opinion. If I was in darker waters, I'd be using a HEPA filter while doing it, something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Honeywell-Enviracaire-63200-True-HEPA-Air-Purifier-CPZ-/400210016421
Get one with carbon filtration as well, should run you under $100, and on 3 it will definitely remove the smell. Good item to have in less friendly places.
Edit: here's one for $50 http://www.honeywellstore.com/store/products/honeywell-16200-hepa-clean-tabletop-air-purifier.htm

Hi, I am a new member from Germany. I have a few questions concerning the extraction of THC with Coconut oil(TCO). I will ask the questions one at a time. thanks in advance for ALL your help! Cheers!
question 1. What is the white precipitate at the bottom of my solidified TCO? I ground the almost very high quality bud and soaked it in Coconut Oil at 100 Celsius for 90 minutes. strained and let solidify. The solid TCO is greenish as I added a bit of water during the simmer.

Well, first off, I'm not sure what kind of coconut oil you used, but you should try to use something such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Extra-Virgin-Coconut-Oil-32/dp/B001AG6BMO .Hi, I am a new member from Germany.

Next, I've never seen anything like the weird white salt-like particles floating near the bottom of the jar in your picture. That's is why I suspect you may have accidentally used some weird unusable form of coconut oil (not sure).
As for your process, I do the same thing, except I simmer mine for 4-6 hours instead of 90 minutes. I use a ratio of 60g-80g to 16oz of coconut oil. After simmering, I set it to solidify in a large bowl in the fridge, and then after it has, I pry it out of the bowl with a butter knife, and pour out all the water. What remains looks like this:
As you can see it looks quite different that what you have in your jar. Maybe you should put the contents of the jar in a small bowl in the fridge for 4-6 hours and then see if it will completely solidify, then you can discard the water. Hope this helps.

thc+ would binder better with coconut milkfat wouldnt it?
i know butter is better at retaining thc+ during the cooking process over coconut oil (imho)

Professeur, show me some links to someone making a THC DMSO extract. The pic you posted is obviously not yours, I've seen it all over the web for years. Solvent extractions and bubble hash are two completely different processes. Why on earth would you advocate solvent extracts over bubble hash made with water and ice?

I never claimed it to be mine... nor doctored the photo i found..i googled it as an example... anything is soluable in dmso to a degree.. and you will get the highest concentration of thc extraction without using heat... dmso evaporates like water (a little slower). All the studies you can find GOOGLE DMSO AND THC>>> you will find that it is dissolved quite readily and can be used transdermaly like a patch if you so desire.. this has been done for quite some time... bubble hash is great because it uses no heat... but still contains impurities. thc can be refined without heat application then remixed into any medium you like... im just trying to show others what can be done without applying heat... when thc is added to coconut oil its more stable from in any other oil because of coconut oils inherent saturated state and antibiotic properties... read my earlier posts in this thread ive laid out the hows already 
jsut because im not posting pictures doesent make my method wrong or invalid.. i choose not to divulge my recipe... dmso is harmless if you handle it properly... does kfc give up their 10 secret herbs and spices? i think not and as oils and bars and candies are all recipes... make your own secret recipe and share it with everyone! i choose not to! i give you all the tools and ingredients it up to you to figure it out! my recipe is from a bluelight discussion google bluelight! i make a similar product to the original pic i posted.. not as clear but pretty damn close... no heat application necessary! you cant use too much DMSO as its concentration doesent matter as it will evaporate like water... im just preventing people being stupid and using butane to extract thc...and possibly kill themselves (darwin award) or others (homicide).http://www.norml.org.nz/postlite6286-.html
I found a recipe for this using a crock pot. It said to put the oil in the crock pot, add the leaf and let it cook on low for 12 hours. Well, I did this today and I'm hoping it isn't burned. I guess I didn't expect the leaf to be crispy fried...but that does make sense..and I didn't expect the oil to be such a dark, green I can't even see through it. When I spread a tiny bit of it on a white bowl, it is green and see through, but in the jar it most definitely is not. I did,however, use a jar of oil when measured out is probably 1.5 cups MAX and just a hair under 1 oz of leaf. This is the first time I've ever made anything with it, so I have no clue. Any input or ideas? Also, can anyone tell me how exactly do you cook with it? My Mother in law has cancer, and I want to make her comfy and hungry. I'm hoping the coconut oil can also be used as a salve. INPUT?
Thanks

I've been using DMSO for years for various purposes. I just feel the need to point out here the professor is full of shit. I've used lots of 99% DMSO for various purposes. It starts to crystallize at to I'm temperature but it is definitely not a solid. The picture you used is used to reference THC acetate. I have macerated Herb in THC many attempts and it does not work well. In medical studies they dissolve PURE THC in DMSO, oh yeah, it absorbs more than just cannabinoids. I just had to point out you're blatantly lying and full of shit. You left the detail out that evaporating DMSO smells like boiling cabbage and when on you give you garlic breath.well its MUCH more complicated....than that.. there is a heat application due to the fact that DMSO is solid @ room temp!the ice application is to get the DMSO and THC oil OUT OF SOLUTION>>> or crystallization to occur during freezing of the water.... my method all that has to be evaporated is the DMSO....
Full of shit liar.

OK rookie posting in. Read the thread while my crockpot is simmering.
As a half assed stoner I chucked about 60-70g of assorted mid flower to harvest trim that has been in a freezer for 3 months or so. I chucked the Moby dick trim in the crockpot and poured about 750ml of coconut oil on it and set it to simmer which it has done now for 4 hours.
I didn't add water or anything. I have had it covered but am removing cover when a lot of water vapor appears on the lid. Going to leave it to cool down and ffurther infuse overnight then strain using sieve, floursifter and stocking. Was thinking about letting it simmer overnight then cool off tomorrow day time also.
