I didn't mentioned his experience (or lack thereof) with honey or cherry oil! Are you saying my life experience doesn't amount to much up because I have no experience with either?

lol no. umm we'd be peers. that is we are at least within a decade. everyone thinks i am younger. in person too, but they can't square the idea with my hairline...
btw honey oil is THE benchmark. cherry is close on the heels. near identical process. a wash or two is all that separates.

The benchmark for a life well-lived? 
maybe in my life ..
Back in the day Honey Oil was the shizzz
Yes, right until it goes to the injection site, those places. They're ridden with it maybe.
I hear stories from my friends but I never had any myself.

A lot of the gas suppliers such as Air Liquide make dry ice daily. I used to go down and buy 10 lbs when I needed it for the lab I worked in
There’s a welding supply place here that makes some.
i know where the gear is ... but i have to make peace with folk who have motorcycles ..
it's ok we're all friends though. it really is a hold your breath process. you can knock down a lot of mid grade stuff to top shelf if you have the right gear and someone who knows the shit. it really needs lab to be safe.
ether is super dangerous. pockets of it can solidify and float around for days in the air until it finds an ignition source.

We eventually made our own from CO2 cylinders
I tried extracting with ether around 1979 or 80. We didn’t know what we were doing and couldn’t smoke it. Lol

Rider made some nice oil with his home-made-ish vacuum extractor! I'll start the search for dry ice when the market for it calms down a bit...
Hopefully you don’t have to wait too long.
you need real good vacuum extractor. and either heat or cold while doing the extraction. . most go heat cause the cold is impossible to achieve. guess which likes kaboom ! most
We tried on a hot plate and double boiler. Couldn’t get all the ether evaporated

I wouldn't know where to get ether if I needed some! I'll just stick with chloroform and a rag.
you're lucky it didn't pop lol.
i don't wanna get too far in to it but it's a bit like you did it - wash - and there's pressurized bho step with ether gas too. it's laughing gas - the dentist used to give you as a kid. illegal now likely. plus you need the vacuum chamber. and a decent one you can work stuff in. there is both a cold and a hot process. the gear for cold is harder to do. but if you have the lab access - it's probably better.
hot side you can seriously blow shit up.
i did it with high grade propane too on the gas side. has to be super pure. butane won't do it.

the active side of chloroform is ether lol
edit : well not exactly - there's an element or two so it becomes harmless and not deadly
