official extraction help thread

Migrated topic.
Im currently doing pull 3 on my first extract. Im using the Q21Q21's Vinegar/Lime A/B Extraction Tek - DMT-Nexus Wiki tek(#2).

Im doing a 100g MHRB to test the tek and get familiar with the process.

My first pull yielded 0.324g but I could see there was still a lot suspended in the naptha which went back into the bowl for pull 2.

Pull 2 resulted in 0.284g.

Im currently doing oull 3 but I had to rehydrate the mixture a little because it had gone hard. I think the reason it suspended on oull 1 was because I topped up the Naptha, worried I was losing too much. (Lesson learned.) On pulls 2 and 3 I have had to add more naphtha at the beginning but didnt add any more during.

I dont think I stirred pull 2 enough tbh so I think there may be a fair bit left for pull 3. Only time will tell.

I know this isnt write home about yield but I am very pleased that I've extracted something on my first go.

Edit: Im half an hour into stirring pull 3 - and ive added more naphtha just because im frightened of not having anything left at the end to put into the freezer. Theres still another 3 minutes of stirring to go and obviously the warm water underneath is causing evaporation loss.

Is what im doing OK? It doesnt mention topping up in the tek so im worried im cocking it up.
