    Ok I'll bite. What is it and how would you use it to make dragon? Do you mean to extract with co2? Please share your thoughts?

    It works fine. For medicinal tincture go:

    Decarb/dry weed

    Freeze weed and 190 proof ethanol overrnight

    Combine in whipped cream maker

    Insert nitrous cartridge

    Shake a few times

    Bleed off nitrous

    Strain and filter liquid

    Reduce to concentrate as required

    You're done, quick and easy.

    What are the amounts of decarbed/ bud or kief per 190? Is the purpose of the no2 to further cool the trichomes so they break and can be extracted or is it a solvent? Thank you

    I'm still experimenting. I have a half liter whipper.

    I'm doing a small run tomorrow.

    1/2 oz of bud and trim

    1 cup of ethanol or maybe a bit more I think

    1 nitrous charger

    Reduce to about half for about 4 oz of tincture. I ain't a dabber. I spray it under my tongue for seizure control.

    Does the nitrous act as a solvent? Good question. I don't know. I know the cold helps. Anybody know the chemistry?

    So to explain a good portion of the nitrous is being used to speed up the process of maceration. The alcohol itself is actually the solvent. Whats happening inside the cannister is that the nitrous is pressurized to a super critical state forcing itself into your plant material and the release of pressure is forcing the chemicals out and mixing into your alcohol. Cold doesnt actually help, it reduces potency.

    You can also do this with any soluble liquid such as oil, glycerin,butter.
    The reason upyou dont use co2 is because it will be unable to reach the pressure needed for this process. You will also be left with a cabonated liquid with none of the chemicals from your material.
