ISO EXTRACT METHOD - Reclaims solvent and best flavor around

Hi, thanks for all this valuable information. I just want to ask a question, why do you use a reaction vessel instead of a distillation flask? Is it to empty the extract more easily?
Thanks a lot.

Exactly, perfect for retrieving the product. Good luck getting shatter out of a flask or finding a syringe that reaches well enough to suck up heated version, learned the hard way a long time ago when I got to my 1st successful runs using lab gear (its so sad to have to make it edible oil right outta the gate just to retrieve out of a flask ). Think of the reaction vessel hooked up as a vac distill as a 'pimped out' version of a Vacuum/Degassing Chamber, that can do so much more!

The final product can be assumed under the tongue? I'm really new about the world of concentrates and I don't know the difference between all these types. I'm an huge fan of cannabis oil, it's similar?

You definitely could, however i would use this to make something for dabbing or for a vape cartridge. For under the tongue, i would use the remaining material after this process is run in a soxhlet extractor or search RSO - Rick Simpson Oil and make a remaining extract for edible use. Cheers and best of luck in your exploration of extracts!

it's been a bit since I ran this method so nothing current on my new phone, but from about 3 yrs ago when we decided to try live as a larger scale thing, I have this as my 1st test outcome on my PC saved in a memories folder of all our 1sts and sentimental shit like that. I have tons of pics ill dig up for you someday but this was live batch one, you can see material used as i cut it down and then the resulting extract:

Very nice.

Sorry for bringing back such and old thread but there isn’t a lot of guides as god as this one in here. So I’m having trouble finding all the parts for hooking up a Water pump to an aspirator. This is the aspirator I currently have. Aspirator Filter Pump https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F64HS1E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Jr4JBbNGN0D4D

Had it for about a year but can’t use bc I can’t find the right adapter to hook it up to my sink faucet. So how exactly would I get this hooked up to a water pump? A good link to a good watt pump would also be helpful.

The threads in my faucet are the same as an outside water spigot,I'm running off a laundry sink.the threads are "fatter"than a regular kitchen sink.if you had a spare sink,a different faucet might be necessary to make that aspirator work with the kind of adapters I have.

Edit - I was on my way out the door when I first posted in response to you.i've used that rig on a kitchen faucet as well.i believe I took the top fitting off and just used the lower brown fitting connected to the aspirator.if you've got strong water volume/pressure like me,that will work nice for you.i'll check mine out again when I get home tonight.

Yeah i can't use the kitchen sink. The landlord put this stupid spray hose faucet on it, cant screw anything on it. Can't use the bathroom bc the sink is too small. I thought of simply getting a new kitchen faucet. But i like the idea of somehow rigging a water pump to it, that way i don't have to waste a bunch of water. i might see about use int outside hose. But a water hose running thru my window might look a little suspect.

If you don't have a pump but can hook up a hose you might be able to affix the aspirator above the small sink. I would test it before building your setup. Alternatively I hear a bilge pump is a cheap way to do this (I'm getting ready to try this tech and plan on using an aspirator, but I'm waiting on the buchner filter). I have some pumps from old hydro setups I figure I can hook up.
