Reclaim is awesome. Still trying to get the yield up a little but so far the smoke is awesome.This would be all I need in a setup/machine. I like the reclaim and vac part and do QWET also just the old school way.

I understand. After shopping around for a few weeks and trying a few discount codes (that never worked) I decided to go with a Canadian source to avoid the scam import charges some couriers charge. It was very quick and painless and I also was able to pay by e-transfer.I wish the price was a little lower. I do get the value of what it is and like that the company backs there product with updates etc.
You can suck it out with a syringe while it is still hot.How hard is it to get the oil out of there ?
If you've still got it put up some pics on another thread. Would love to make oneI can think of lots of other things to spend that much money on.
I built my own still a dozen years ago from a large glass bottle and it will hold 4L of solvent. Have a smaller bottle that holds about a liter for smaller runs. Cost me all of $20 for a coil of copper tubing. Another $20 for a large SS pot to set the bottle in with water on an old hotplate to cook it up.
Not pretty but gets the job done.![]()
I chose to pour it out into a small container to finish since it is easier to collect the oil in a syringe. The crucible would be more challenging to do that and there is going to be more waste in the bottom IMO. The little container I use to cook off the last bit of ethanol is excellent for pulling the oil into a syringe. I did a few to test it.You can suck it out with a syringe while it is still hot.
Me too. I would love to build my own still and use a rice cooker to make bigger batches of oil. Since I do not have the physical fortitude to accomplish a still, and my wife was leery about using I rice cooker, I chose the convenient route, all be it more expensive. Money is the least of my problems at the moment and I was determined to make some oil one way or another.I can think of lots of other things to spend that much money on.
I certainly see that being an issue for you. You can do most of the work with it then a few more minutes using your usual process to finish. I used it today to reclaim the ethanol from the wet bud. It looks like about 200ml or more was recoveredHey I evap on low heat, my proses is the same although I don't reclaim the ever clear and don't vac. My issue I'm seeing with the turbo is getting the material out if evap'ing down to a thicker material.
As much as it sounds like a cop-out most of my pics were lost when the hard drive they were on got trashed with a screwed up install of Linux Mint a couple years back.If you've still got it put up some pics on another thread. Would love to make one.

The real main thing is the condenser unit. As I have no running water in the shop I used a 2L bottle of salted frozen water as my cooling source. Easy enough to keep a few of those in my deep freeze and pull out a fresh one when needed.
This is my condenser

A very simple pot still and for more info about stills I go to homedistiller.org.
When I''m running a batch everything is wrapped with heavy insulation and/or tin foil to keep the heat up but those are some of the lost pics. Ugly as hell but works fine.
