There are a couple ways to go about this.........
The easiest: alcohol..... be it isopropyl or ethanol
take say 4 grams of dry material and soak in your choice alcohol......filter....take liquid from that and mix with 1 gram of your material....then evaporate the alcohol....
Thats very simplified....so maybe poke around for some more info

Thanks, so i can use perhaps 1/2 oz soak it in 190 proof everclear? let it sit 1 week then filter the liquid and squeez the the leaves on to another 1/2oz then evaporate? that would be a 2x right? how long does the alcohol take to evaporate?

That should work. Report back and let us know. I personally dislike the effects of Dagga...it's an unpleasant taste and upsets my stomach, and the only psychoactive effect I noticed was mild dizziness. But others have reported quite nice effects, so let us know what you think.

Yes but you only need to let it soak five minutes. You will also want to weigh/measure your grams. 5 gms evaporated on to one gram = 6x etc.

You're going to want to soak and ring out (the same material) a total of three times at five min. each. then combine the three sets of liquids and let them evaporate on to your 1/8. I like to use those long-underwear shirts, polypropalyne (sp) for filtering. I don't find it too harsh to smoke at all and just as potent if not more so than the online extracts. Grind the 1/2 to a powder, but leave the 1/8 coarse and chunky and it will dry almost like brick-weed buds.
Lemme see, 14gm + 3.5gm = 17.5 gm/3.5gm = 5 yes, it should be ~ 5x Keep your hands and arms inside the bus at all times and don't believe everything the gnomes tell you.

use enough to fully cover the material being extracted then maybe a little extra......
i always evaporated with an old coffee maker as a hot plate....or just let it sit out overnight
