Everclear alcohol extraction. . . .takes forever to evaporate...like damn. Left it out, under a window. . .for 4-5 days -_- Put in the oven with the residual heat from baking, left for an hour or two. . . I did mix a lil water into it as part of the extraction to pull just that extra bit left over in the plant material(had no more alcohol). I feel like any longer its gonna become a mold experiment =[ I dont know why you would take me seriously, I mean after all I am JeStKiDDiN ;]

Have you tried pointing a fan at it? Mine was dry in like a day. But it was probably a smaller amount to start with, was just infusing some leaf not extracting. No direction but to follow what you know, No direction but a faith in her decision, No direction but to never fight her flow, No direction but to trust the final destination.

I dont exactly have a fan like to put it directly on it, i do have an overhead fan. Overheadfan+2 open windows+right under one window= evap =] and if i add the factor where i put in the oven and let it warm up. I dont know why you would take me seriously, I mean after all I am JeStKiDDiN ;]

Pointing a little fan directly at it is probably going to work much better. I've also done it using the exhaust air coming out of the back of a window AC. Fast moving HOT air FTW!

why everclear, why not dry ipa or denatured alcohol? something with 100% alcohol and 0 water is going to evap faster. since everclear (afaik) is 75% ethanol that leaves you with 25%water, which dosent evap entierely too quick. get a dehydrator achuma puma

It has pretty much finally evaporated. Now. . .There's like chunks o_O Like its light in color, like a chalky light brown. But the chunks are throwin me off, I was expecting goop. There is some organic material in the extract, due to lak of preciseness while separating. I dont know why you would take me seriously, I mean after all I am JeStKiDDiN ;]

I use the same Steinel heatgun that I use to vaporize cannabis to dry all my wet stuff. You can usually find a good one used (one with infinitely adjustable heat and at least two fan settings with a ceramic encapsulated element is minimum you need, but they have some with infinitely adjustable air flow that would be great. This in combination with a bowl made to fit it by a local glass blower will out preform any vaporizer on the market and dry your wet stuff fast, at the exact temp that you want it dried at. Also it can be used as a heat source for various reactions and to weld plastic and test your buds without drying them first.
