i dont like useing coffie filters either.
unelss your going to be putting a lot of alcohol through it i think its a little too absorbent.
why does grinding up your buds make a diffrence in your end result? i like to grind the buds up, so that i dont have to soak them for as long, keeping out as much plant sugar as possible.

actually. youll have a nasty thick green syrup. alcohol will obsorb the plant sugars and it will give you a headache to smoke.
so the quicker you can wash it the better.

before use, to pull some of the excess water out of the stuff,
otherwise it will take forever to evap and quality of the end-product will suffer.
note:
using mexibrick/schwagg is cool,
but remember the concentrate will only be as good as what u started with >
shit in,
shit out.

a couple things here i dont like.
first of all, alcohol absorbs water, so in my mind i could see the steam from the warm water absorbing into the alcohol taking longer to dry.
and what % you use doesnt make a diffrency in what you end up with, it just changes the amount of time it will take to evaporate.
and when you concentrate shitty buds to a gram of hash it will definitaly be better then smoking a bowl of the shitty weed.
you have a higher concentration of the stuff that gets you high.
so you get higher.
