I did a QWET tincture. I've done this a few times and the results have always been very satisfactory.

Stuff that I used:

a sieve
some tin foil
a plastic container with a lid
cast iron pot
measuring glasses
a syringe for measuring
(a petri dish and a razor)

14,3g (0,5oz) of bud
0,5 litres of 80% (160 proof) vodka

My info is pretty much based on these two excelent posts:

I had totally 14,3 grams (0,5oz) of plant material of which 2,2g were stems and another 2,2g leaves, the remaining 9,9g was trimmed and cured prime bud of 4 different strains.
This time I used 0,5 l 80% (160 proof) Viru Valge-vodka.
I first ground the bud with my hands on to a sheet of tin foil. I then folded the tin foil a few times and placed on a cast iron cooking pot. I figured that the iron pot would even out some of the heat fluctuation. I then decarboxylated the plant material for 55 minutes in 120°C (248°F). Scale and a 0,2 dl jar for scale.

Then i placed the decarbed plant material and vodka to the freezer to lock the remaining water solubles. After 30 mins in the freezer I mixed the vodka and plant material together in a plastic container and shook it gently a few times and placed it to the freezer. After a total of 5 minutes shaking/chilling I sieved my extract to a glass.
I then measured and the total yield was 4,2 dl. The bottle that I used was not completely full and I also spilled some while sieving.

Some solid stuff (trichomes and plant flakes) is bound to come thru my sieve since I don't filter the extract at all. After dividing the extract with a syringe on to different vials and bottles there was some solids left behind on my measuring glasses. I poured some extract back to the measuring glasses and tried to flush everything solid onto a petri dish. I placed the petri dish on top of my fridge for the alcohol to evaporate. Picture is taken after 3 days of evaporating. After all the alcohol has evaporated I'm gonna scrape the remaining stuff with a razor and maybe mix it with some bud for smoking.

The remaining plant material I use for smoking. I let the alcohol evaporate and the stuff to dry and then mix it with some bud. (I mix my weed with tobacco so this way I can reduce the amount of tobacco used per spliff) It tastes quite bad but I don't wan't to waste anything.

Pretty neato. I'm actually going to do this for the first time sometime this month.
But, taking that extracted material to add to bud for smoking? Do you think just taking it orally won't be as effective, or maybe you just did this with the intention of turning some of your weed into superweed?

The superweed part is correct. It's like a poor man's moon rocks. Taking it orally would be kinda strange since the stuff I'm left with is a very small amount of some sort of paste, smoking it makes the most sense to me.

In the states we have everclear, so that works well if you cant find 150 proof vodka.
