Hello

ok we all know the Iso wash method
99% iso oz of weed shake for 20/30 secs dump into collection thing to evap off

well i have a old pot stil just a simple gallon one

here is the ? has anyone used a pot stil and a PIC cook top to evap the iso off the oil and to reclaim the ISO for run later

the pic cook top will allow me to set the temp low 120/130 with iso having a low evap temp that should allow me to collect it and not burn

has anyone tried this ......Pot Stil not a reflux
it is a mimic of the RSO system except i am capturing the vapes and turning it back into iso ....and i can run on a much lower temp (ethanol vapes at 187 f to 210f)

I've recovered a bunch of ethanol with a pot still, but not Iso, because it is relatively cheap and it can form peroxides.

really i thought Iso was safe ......the pot is stainless steel ....the worm is copper so the only thing that should happen is dehydrogenation of the iso due to the copper worm

they legally stopped selling everclear in this state(closest place to get is a 200 mile round trip) ......my shine is only 72%ethanol leaves about 28% water (to much water in it to use for RSO)

For all of ya’ll living where 190 proof isn’t readily available, here are a couple sites that will ship most anywhere,

East coasters check out,http://www.winechateau.com/

West coasters, tryhttp://organicalcohol.com/store/
i know distilling ......before i see anything leaving the system i have to get the temp to 187f and it will slowly raise from there as it comes off to 210 and i still need it to go pass 212f for a short time to get the water out too

even using a simple liebig condenser i am running this for well over the decarb temp range ....the over all product would be weaker for this in return

i do not see ever clear .......i know that is the best i can get before a few years ago and they started banning the sale of it in places.....also know 2 different types they sell a 180% and a 190% ....buying 100% ethanol is a bitch with the rules in place .....basically it begging to get caught ordering a large amount .......shipping anything over 50% needs a special transport and licensees as it is a hazmat material

the big part ......heating it up that much at those lvls it is basically bomb .....the chances of it blowing are increased to a point i even worry because i know it can burn down several acres and houses (i will be dead but the last of the family would be on the hook for the damages to other ppls shit)
