Very nice, it looks exactly like it should. Very well done, really!
I hope it turns out potent.. if your cactus is good, 15 to 20 g should be a nice medium to strong dose.
And you have like 9 more doses on hand, ready to take whenever you want.

By the way, it's better to separate single doses within the next days. The tar gets rock-solid within a few weeks, it's almost impossible to separate doses then without smashing the rock into a billion pieces with a hammer.
Better make small pellets soon, as pictured in the first post.

If bitter is any indication of potency, it should be good.
I did a similar tek about 7 years ago with about half the amount. Back then I took the cuttings during the growing season, didn't let them cure in darkness, ran it throughout the blender and didn't decant the particles... it was pretty weak sauce. Have high hopes for this one. It has a nice golden/amber color when stretched out.
Here's about 1/4 of the end product:

Thank you, I call them 'cocoa pebbles of the gods.'
Finished rolling them and now waiting for the isopropyl to loosen up the leftovers stuck to the dish, blades and knife. Just over 160gm so far. Happy with the yield from 16'
Will report back on Saturday/Sunday (if I don't win the ban lottery.)

pandemoon, how far can i go with reducing the tea still on the pot?(without damaging alkaloids and burning everything)
can i pour the syrup concentrated tea on a silicon baking sheet to finish evaporation to tar? to avoid the need of scraping everything from a glass dish. or will it stick to the silicon too?

Nice. A splash or a big spoon should be enough vinegar. Any vinegar will do the trick. It's not even essential, though it works well without. Keep in mind the whole procedure takes at least two to three days untill you have finished product. Gravity filtering (letting the plantmaterial settle down overnight) should be done at least once.. And never pour the hot brew into a glass jar, it will break. Always let the liquid cool down before you fill any glassware.
golmo, I wouldn't use solicone sheets. The tar is so sticky and the sheet so soft and bendy.. I guess it would be impossible to get the tar off the sheet.

It depends on how much liquid you end up with from the previous boils. With multiple cuttings for a handfull of doses I always end up with close to a gallon or so (several liters), then it takes a few hours till it's of this thick, viscous sirup-like consitency to dry it further to tar in the oven (which takes also an additional hour or three). Scraping and splitting into doses /pellets is the worst part, this alone might take half a day depending on the ammount.
But you can boil it down only a bit so that it remains a liquid of a drinkable ammount (two cups or so per dose is good in my opinion). Then it's basically a common cactus tea, ready to drink. Much quicker than tar, as you don't have to dry and scrape anything, which saves a few hours of work. The taste is awefull, but it's managable. Make sure to have a tasty fruit juice on hand, to chase every gulp of tea and kill the bad taste in the mounth. Ice-cream also works well as a chaser.
How much doses are you preparing, just the two? Then I'd just drink it when it's reduced to a drinkable ammount. Saves a lot of time.
I make this tar to end up with several doses that I can keep for future use. It's a lot of work and a lot of time, not really suitable for instant dosing. Then I'd just eat the cutting raw, or make tea. It's quicker that way.

It's 6ft total. Had some Peruvian, Bolivian, monstrose bridgesii, & macro.
It is for 5 or 6 people. All our 1st time.
Should I worry about the film forming on top the boil?
It's for another day. Probably within the next week or this weekend. I don't think some of the ppl will be able to handle the taste.

Why did it turn yellow? Might be due to the vinegar.. it should be very very dark, near black.
Still looks a bit too fluid imo. I'd boil it down a bit more until it's really thick.
