wtf

It distills plant extracts. For any more details, you'll need to be more specific with your question.

If I had a nickel for every pixel in this video...well, I'd have one nickel.

[Bdiddly1]

like 2k bucks on apparatus and equip and you record this with a 10$ camera ?

[ogskeetdizzle]

did you use a soxhlet for extraction first? also what solvent are you using? and if the end result is supposed to be essential oil that is edible, what sovlents are safe to use, i'm looking into this stuff for R and D.
