That’s right, more specifically it’s also wild Nha Trang, just lower grade than the main batch

Today, I ground 3 kg of wild Nha Trang chips.
The water was collected from familiar stream.
Tomorrow, the fire will be lit for this distillation

I have this Nha Trang oil, and I recommend it highly.
So each distillation batch is 3kg wood?

I have big pots - around 20kg per batch and small pot with 3 - 5kg per batch.

Today, wood, water and fire finally meet and play together.
The first drop of oil has appeared, and feeling is still like a first love, waiting nervously for what’s to come 😂.

After 1 day, yesterday’s tiny drop has grown bigger, still clinging to the glass, not yet rising

It's teasing you lol

After 3 days:
From a tiny cling on the glass, it has grown into a ‘fruit’ of oil.
Any guesses how many grams this ‘fruit’ weighs?

I think @Joe guessed about right because it looks like it has about the same density as water since it's not floating and not sinking and it looks like it would take up about as much space as 10 mL in that cylinder if it were fomed into a cylinder.
I don't want to wimp out and just copy Joe so I will say 11 g just because it looks like it might be a little over 10mL.

I’m going to say 15 grams, because I don’t think it’s at quite the same density as water.
