I used this kief from my old grinder that I never touched for at least two year of owning it. (I gave my son half of the kief, but it was still a ton.) Then I lightly heated and compressed it for like an hour in some PTFE film until it became as hard as a rock.

The cool thing about it is it’s made of everything I’ve grown during that period. I haven’t smoked any yet, and I plan on saving it for special occasions.

Smoke it faster. That is beautiful but it does not keep.

You have to freeze the alcohol to coagulate the lipids and then strain them out. This can be done in the BHO process by freezing a jacked column or packing it with dry ice. and using a ball valve to keep the butane in the column for a long enough to coagulate the lipids before running it through the filters and into the splatter platter. You can filter out a lot of the lipids without the dry ice if you do your run on a really cold night with a tightly packed column.

My first WPFF extraction.

Dry ice and denatured alcohol

Purged in the vac oven for 36hrs.
Couple tiny little spots of wax/lipids at the top but all and all worth the extra steps.

Nowadays I just squish but if I had access to dry ice I'd do a few runs this way.

Actually I do the extraction frozen, inside a freezer, there's no lipids that drop out. I tried leaving it in the freezer for 2 days and not one bit of precipitate. I actually forgot about that when I replied to the post saying my extract would have lipids in it like BHO extract. No lipids and no anything that's either water soluble or soluble in about 20% alcohol. It's a lot cleaner than BHO, making it almost 50% more potent, and it's even more cleaner than pressed rosin, which is the crudest of extracts. It's solventless, yeah, but dirty, usually being about 57% THC/A. Mine is solventless too, at the end. But my process is a little more complicated and takes about 4 days so I doubt if anybody else would do it. Granted, distillate would be even purer but who wants to buy a vacuum distillation apparatus, not me. My apparatus is a water jug and a couple 2 liter glass measuring cups. I really wouldn't smoke BHO or rosin, but different people have different standards, apparently some people are fine with those products.

You're just making up numbers. Liquid butane is much colder than alcohol in your freezer. I run mine through a coffee filter trap into a 2.5 micron filter paper. Then I degas for several days in a scientific grade vacuum oven. It typically turns of glass by the time I pull it out. Lipids are a wax. You have a ball of clay that you put into a microwave.

Color remediation cartridge removes the chlorophyll, pesticides, and other impurities. Uses clay and other powders for filtration. I only need to use it on my older harvested material.

Man I sure wish! I'm trying to find anything from anytime to help me make or use one.

I'm not against the concept, but I don't worry about the color or let my material get old enough to buy one. Does it really strip the terps? If so that's reason enough to stay away.

For anyone just starting on concentrates try a reusable coffee filter basket. The grocery store ones are 125 micron, just run some dry trim thru a food processor then shake it in the basket over parchment paper. I press buttons with two pennies in a 3/4 inch copper tube.8179CF38-78A5-4A15-A8CE-9AB9093D7637.jpegA8674035-E240-4F04-8ECA-5BDA8DED0E92.jpeg
