I think most people that make actual RSO use a coffee cup warmer to get it warm enough to suck up with a syringe for storage. You can heat it up and mix it with MCT oil to get a smoother product and tame the potency to make dosing easier. I evaporate my Green Dragon down to about 1/4 the volume of extracted alcohol and then store it as alcohol tincture in the freezer. It takes about 10-15 drops at that strength for the full effect and about 7-10 for my wife. It goes in just about anything you want to drink and you can add it to edibles as well.
Coffee filter, I do it in a Pyrex measuring cup and an upside down coffee filter covers it great.
If I'm doing open evaporation in a Pyrex casserole dish, I place bamboo skewers across it and cover it with a towel to keep dust and pet hair out. The skewers keep the towel from sagging into the concentrate.
I started using the steel mesh i bought for sifting recently and it does a great job because i have a fan blasting at the pyrex. Keeps dust off and lets fumes out.
I kinda hate super low temps because it turns into syrup and drains slow, resulting in longer soaks. Fine line, in my opinion.
Oh I didn’t think about it soaking longer because the drain is slower, but the vacuum on the extractcraft can be used with a funnel to very quickly strain the ec from the weed, like in seconds. No longer a problem and saves time too.
That’s dope. My solution was prescreening through cheesecloth to filter out majority of solids and then hit it with the mesh, but i had better luck freezing alcohol and using room temp biomass with coffee filters. It’s such a sensitive process. Aggravating at times.
The Büchner funnel definitely helps with quick filtration, and you can get all kinds of mesh sizes. Makes one step of the process easier anyhow.
