Is there any accessible THC in pot that has been vaporized?
If so, how can it be extracted?

1. yes, but not much....
I mean, think about it. Vaporization is an equilibrium process, shifted far to the vapor phase because of high temperature. But some molecules of vaporized material will always remain unless the temperature is high enough to combust the base material (when smoking pot, that's what you do-- vaporize most of the THC and other cannabinoids while combusting the cellulose, etc, yielding a mix of smoke, tars, and THC etc vapors).

Anyway, sure, as long as the base material does not combust, it will still retain tiny amounts of THC, maybe large amounts if the vaporization was marginal. Extraction? Well, lipid extraction, as usual, but don't expect much unless the vaporizor runs at too low a temp.
