Making Enhanced leaf

OK i did a search but most ive found is for a regular extract not enhanced leaf.
OK. This is what i am planning on doing. Taking 20 grams of leaf*(Shoud i crush it till its nothing but shake?)* soaking it in ____________*(What liquid is best for this? and how much liquid do i put in?)* Let it sit 10 minutes, ring it out put the liquid a side. REPEAT with new liquid then add the liquid to the first which is set aside. REPEAT with new liquid then add the liquid to the first and second which is set aside.
Take 5 grams of leaf pour the liquid on to the 5 grams*(Isnt this alot of liquid for 5 grams??)* Let it sit and evaporate*(how long does it take to evaporate??)*
Ok thats the deal this should give me 5 grams of 5x enhanced leaf. Please help. Fill in the blanks and give me some tips if u can. Thanks.

Another q i came up with, what do i use to filter out the leaves from the liquid? If i use something like a coffee filter wont the filter take away some of my salvinorin?

a good salvia extraction is a lot more complex than that. Do some inter web searching.

Hows this:
Quote:
1. Dry leaf.
2. Crush.
3. Soak leaf in Acetone for 5 min, stir, save and pour off and save.
4. Repeat 3 times.
5. Discard leaf.
6. Add all acetone together, stir, let settle for 12-24 hours (the longer the better but in a relatively dark place away from strong light).
7. Pour off the Acetone into a separate container being careful not to stir up the fine tannin particles in the bottom, save the Acetone and discard residue on bottom.
8. Evaporate the Acetone completely out, do this in a relatively dark place away from direct sunlight. Complete darkness is preferred to minimize reaction with light which can destroy a portion of your yield.
9. After all of the Acetone has evaporated completely Naphtha can be used to remove the waxy non-active lipids from the extract. To successfully remove most of these waxy compounds (AKA black wax) it is very important to crush all of the extract into as fine granules as possible while in the Naphtha. Stir the fluid and extract well and then let sit completely still for an hour or longer to allow most of the fine particles of salvinorin enough time to settle to the bottom of the container.
10. Pour off Naphtha leaving the salvinorin residues which have settled to the bottom behind. (Save the Naphtha, more will settle out after a few hours).
11. Add more Naphtha to residue, stir, let set long enough to completely settle out again.
12. Continue washing the extract with Naphtha until it no longer changes color, allowing enough time for the fine salvinorin particles to settle to the bottom each time.
13. When satisfied you have removed enough of the Chlorophyll remove every drop of Naphtha and dry the extract.
The dried extract produced by the above process is fairly crude compared to what you can do through further refining as explained in the more detailed version of this tech and will still contain an amount of Chlorophyll and tannin contaminate which takes more work to completely remove so that the purity is high enough to make ?standardized? leaf, but can be used to make leaf which is just as good by dissolving the extract into either 99% IPA or any solvent of your choice which salvinorin is soluble to and then pouring over a quantity of crushed leaf and evaporating. Be sure not to use too much solvent than needed to completely dissolve the extract, stir the leaf as the last of the solvent evaporates out and mop up the light residues from the sides of the container with the leaf while it is still moist with solvent. By finely crushing the leaf and thoroughly mixing afterwards you can average out hot spots created by using the leaf to mop up the high potency residues.
To approximate how potent your enhanced leaf will be, divide the amount of leaf extracted in grams by the amount of leaf you are infusing the extract into and subtract 10-15% for a rough "x" factor estimate which should be every bit as strong if not more potent than true standardized leaf.

On step 6 you should use some sort of glass container, and yes you NEED a lid on it if you don't want the acetone to evaporate away.
I'm not sure how long step 8 should take, acetone evaporates rather quickly, it probably doesn't take much longer than 24 hours

Thanks for the help I got 4 oz so there is room for some error but id like to get it right the first time. 
I'll try 10 grams into 2 grams see how i do. Be back with results in a few days.

What you just did was an enhance leaf extraction method but is very simple and much less is given from the extraction but if you have like a TALL skinny glass put the 5 grams there and liquid in it that way no salvia d. evaporates on the sides rather than directly on the leaf that way you get it all on the leaf. Just a suggestion but like I said ver simpel ffor something as simple.

I'm actually not too sure where to find Naphtha, I'd go ahead and check the hardware store, they will probably carry it.
