Does water work as well? I would have thought a mix would work a bit better.

I think the jury is still out on if one is better than the other.

This.. But don't take it to tar, take it down to a shot or two of drink. It'll get in you quicker..

Agreed. I just use both a little acidic water and a splash of everclear. I figure I'm getting the full spectrum that way.

One big difference between alcohol and water extractions is that when extracting with alcohol the powder does not expand by volume. This makes it a hell lot easier to handle.

Does it still expand if you use a water/alcohol mix?
Will regular vodka be enough, I'm finding it hard to find a higher %.
Is there any other safe alcohol or is it OK to use the other stuff if I give it long enough to evap?

Vodka diluted to about 30% and some acid mixed in will be a wonder solvent for your cactus

That's what I'm saying, tea. 1 and done.. The smell's gonna trip you up more than the taste will.

IMO it just tastes to bad to do that if you dry it out you can just eat like ten to 20 little balls or like 10 00 capsules

Yeah little balls sound great lol
So regular vodka 30% plus 70% water and a dash of lime?
Just looking for a good full spectrum extraction here
Close as tea without drinking snot, although I do intend to try the snot when my cuttings have gotten bigger.

Yes but I would just use some distilled vinegar. Lime juice will work though

Just for the future, if you want to try the tea.. if you slice up the cactus and boil it fresh it doesn't make snot. Check out the traditional preparations. It's not snot, it's a tinted liquid. And it takes about 2 swallows to "get there"..
Just for future reference

I'm glad you said this as thats just the way I was thinking of making the tea 
Everyone seems to want to blend it.

You'll be able to tell when your chunks are spent. Keep them in one pot simmering, and dump those washes into another set just enough to steam. You can hold it up to light and see through it when you're done and you can use a callendar as a strainer, no shirt needed..

Go to polish shop or speak to some polish people if you know any. Ask them about 95% imported ethanol for liquor production, they should be able to get you 500ml for £10-20. I used it for all of my extr. until now that I'm testing this 99% rocket fuel from *bay
