Apparently the way Agave is made by these large companies selling them, they should be avoided.

agave is a highly processed sweetener. The chemical process for manufacturing agave nectar is nearly the same as the corn refiners using in making high-fructose corn syrup from corn starch.

Are you just trying to add some taste using the Agave??

I've only extracted with everclear and I don't do it much anymore. I have a jar of vapor leavin's just dying to be extracted. I also have half a jar of green dragon I still haven't used. I like the leavin's because they're more mellow, all the serious stuff has gone up in fumes. I might use olive oil this time, see what happens.
