Personally I never got beyond doing a standard BHO blast to get my oil. I typically do mason jar with up to a qp ground into a powder and then soak it for about 30-45 minutes (however many Rocket League games until I get pissed at the game) and then filter it through three coffee filters to keep the plant material out.

I'm thinking of switching to an alcohol wash instead of butane, but it take longer to purge at room temperature than butane and is more expensive, so I should probably get a reclaim chamber for my pump before trying it so I don't have to buy $100 bottles of extraction alcohol every time I want to make oil.

You should talk to Cannabineer. I've only smoked his extracts. He knows a lot about that and they are good. This will be my first venture into creating my own extract. But it seems simple enough even I should be able to do this without getting too distracted.

I started extracting in 2013. I went through several processes before I settled on the Mason-Jar method. Don't really like using 'tane but it's cheap, relatively easy to purge and I already owned everything I needed except a vacuum pump. Now that I have a regular steady paycheck, I can get more hardware and change things up bit. For some reason pressing and sieving never really appealed to me, it seems like there will always be some degree of loss in those two methods, while with chemicals I feel I'm getting nearly all the oils.

Absolutely not a chemist and I could be wrong about the yield, but I wouldn't even know how to begin to do a side by side to get an honest experimental answer, because no matter what the plant material from the chemical wash would be different from the mechanical removal adding a variable I have no idea how to "pre count" the oils in the material before removal. So I've stuck with my hunch that chemicals will successfully remove more than heat or friction.
