Iso Extractions by _oakley_

but you know.... I would love to try a dab or two of that sticky icky glob. I would still rather smoke ISO extracts than butane extracts...
Thats a nice blob oakley... wow everytime I look at it I drool...lol

Made my first run today with shake/ popcorn nugs, and stems. It turned out looking more like bubble/ gumby hash. I'll get pics tomorrow once its completely dry.

looking forward to seeing your results
next round, skip the stem... from the texture you speak of sounds like you might of skipped the regular coffee filter?
post up your results and we will have you making glass clarity in No time!

I used a regular filter... So Idk what went wrong, I had a few globe that are dark brown, almost black looking hash. Then today when I scraped the rest it looks like a really fine powder, almost like a DMT extraction.

Anyway, I can only use my Android phone at the time. Does anyone know of a way to upload pics to the web via phone? I.E. tinypic, Photobucket....

I use a photobucket app on my phone. That way I can go direct from my phone to photobucket without having to email and download pics.

midgets n acid is equal to or greater than hookers n blow.

I just recieved my ISO filter bags from Extraction Experts and I will give your method shot as well, thank you for the knowledge. Peace and Rspect

What's an ISO filter bag? You mean a coffee filter? Lol.

this guy must have some potent dabs....

i got my hands on 30L of 99.8+ % iso and i wanna no if i wanted to make that stretch with the 91 % i have what should i do my first wash with? first 2 with 91% then final wash to get the last thc with the stronger stuff?? or should i wash with 99.8+% first?

91% isn't "stronger" than 99%. It's just that 99% has less "other stuff". Both will very effectively strip THC, but the more 91% you use, the more polutants. But really, for the most part, the 91% has 9% other stuff but it's mostly water.

So 99% won't get you more THC, it will just leave you with cleaner oil in the end.

I use alcohol to clean stuff like pipes, and also for cleaning out my oil making supplies and storage jars. I'd save your 91% for those jobs and use your 99% for oil making.

Where did you come up with this? The only two ingredients in the alcohol is isopropyol and water, no other pollutants. The reason 91% is worse is because it can't extract the cannabinoids at as fast of a rate as the 99% and the water will extract some polar compounds. But yeah...I certainly hope there are no "pollutants" in my iso.

Sigh. Always someone who's looking for an argument. I "came up with this" through fact finding. If you think your ISO is isopropanol and H2O, with no traces of anything else you're deluded. There are traces of impurities, but like I VERY clearly said, the majority of the 9% is water. Didn't think anyone needed to listen to a long diatribe about how a higher water content introduces more pollutants via absorbtion.

The "fast rate" you are talking about is also incorrect. It's not the speed at which the alcohol dissolves the THC, it's how much alcohol comes in contact with the THC. Water molecules don't dissolve the THC, so when THC is in contact with water, that's less that's in contact with alcohol.

But hey, people are gonna hear all kinds of info, some of it correct, and some of it wrong, and stated simply to make a person feel superior. If you want to argue, have at it. My info is there, take it or leave it. You can argue with yourself all you like.

Why you take my comment as trying to start an argument? I'm just sparking a little debate...smoke a bowl and try to have a conversation, why can't we share our different views and try to come to a agreed upon conclusion? Now that we have that aside...let's see if you can respond with out sounding like such a know it all this time.

What else exactly is in my Iso? Can you post a link that shows the distillates or contaminants in the Iso? If there were contaminants wouldn't their be some kind of residue left behind after all the alcohol has evaporated? Just a thought.

Can you explain this? 99% will dissolve the cannabinoids quicker because more alcohol is coming in contact with the marijuana. Like you said 91% has 9% water, so that water will slow down the process, will it not?

What was the point of this last paragraph? Where did I try to sound superior to you? Where did I try to start an argument?? Please highlight or quote it because I can't find it. Try to have a conversation...it's not that difficult.

Hey Oakley, so I'm about to get around to making some iso but I wanted to ask you if you or any1 else knew the best temp. for the iso to be? I'm guessing some where between freezing to block out everything but the iso but if it can get a bit more precise I can experiment & play around a little bit. since I hate makeing it I'll make it fun by playin! LOL

leave your iso in a deep freezer for a week.. beyond that its gonna get into some $$ to chill it further than that

personally ive found deep freezer temps work wonderfully which is about -10c to -15c
