Not lookin for deems, Lookin for all cannaboids, THC, CBD an tha rest. Thanx for the info. Heptane bp at 208-209 F, ether at 95, after the break in sep funnel, should, after liq-liq in the sep, when want to evap jus wonderin if lower time or temp for evap will yield higher quality material, less solvent left? I kno bout butane and all that, but have the ether jus wonderin if will work effectively. Thanx Bro like ur knowledge!

My sight is what? Not looking for N,N-Dimethyltryptamine. Hmm basic organic 201, like dissolves like, correct? THC disolves well in ether, CBD dissolves well in ether, all other cannaboids dissolve well in ether, easy evap, hmm, end up with nice oil, Guess after 7 years in college, dont know the science. Only time will tell, My sight? Got the bifocals on.

Ether will work just fine. You wont need to do a liquid liquid, soak the flowers and strain then evaporate. Just remember to be careful with ether. It's safe than butane but thats more a comment on how easy it is to blow yourself up with butane.
