Ways to extract water soluble compounds from plant matter

I'm in the process of creating a distillate from plant matter to be used in a vape pen for smoking cessation. 

What solutions and methods are best to do this? 

I've seen someone make a distillate using a saturated solution with sodium carbonate. Is this a good method and are there other ways to do this?

Thank you!

Re: Ways to extract water soluble compounds from plant matter

Consider exploring solvent extraction methods like steam distillation or solvent extraction using ethanol. These methods effectively extract water-soluble compounds from plant matter for vape pen distillation. While using a saturated solution with Photo call sodium carbonate may work, it's essential to research its safety and effectiveness thoroughly.

Re: Ways to extract water soluble compounds from plant matter

Using a saturated solution with sodium carbonate is one method, but there are other techniques like steam distillation or copy and paste solvent extraction that could be effective. It's crucial to consider the purity and safety of the final product for vape pen use.
