Homemade oil for my vape pen

Would it be possible to use Everclear alcohol instead of a PG-based wax liquidizer?

Also, if one uses a CCELL-type cart no thinner is necessary. I've been smoking high-viscosity distillate with no cosolvent or thinner through CCELLs of late. I'm pretty pleased with how they work.

As for the filter setup, it is a variant on the basic principle of vacuum filtration. I use a scaled-up version of this when I'm dewaxing an alcohol solution of my first distillate. (Some wax distills, wouldn't'cha know.) I hook a large flask (fitted with a stopcock adapter) to a vacuum pump for a minute and use that as a "vacuum reservoir" to speed my filtration.

Can you describe why?
I’ve tried the nylon membrane and the pes membrane. I found a Reddit post where someone mentioned using the cellulose acetate ones so I bought some on eBay. Didn’t see them on amazon though....The “CA” one just seemed to run through smoother. I have no research to back this up just what I experienced.

Experience is the best

The ones that are stamped “I pure”
It worked for me but I always get that back pressure that I always thought were the wax is plugging the filter

sorry if this is a stupid question! does all carts have some form of liquidizer in them? im trying to understand how CO2, BHO, and Rosin can be put in carts with no liquidizer? The local dispensary sells CO2 carts and my buddy claims its pure with no liquidizer and another guy i know has BHO in carts sent from out west that claims theres no form of liquidizer in. Neither turn darker color or change in flavor as used.

Kind of like how you’re always shilling hamiltonsupply or whatever the vape cart place you always bring up, relevant or not.
I'm not related and yes I've brought up Hamilton Supply as I've been happy with the quality of their Cartridges and you can be sure they are actual CCells.

You can also get actual CCells here: https://www.kushsupplyco.com/ccell another supplier but only does wholesale.

I was told about this guy who has them much cheaper: https://www.dhgate.com/product/ce3-510-cartridge-vape-tank-gold-metal-plastic/404102717.html

I have heard that most of them are good but when smoking/vaping something I worry about it being what it says it is. Anyway no offense was intended I simply asked if he was affiliated. I am comfortably retired from software engineering. I sell nothing and was simply sharing my experience about the cartridges as the right ones to vape very thick distillate were hard, for me, to find. It actually took me a couple years.

Sorry if you found that offensive.

Unless it's a super premium cart, straight distillate is too thick. If its co2, I'm not too sure.
The CCELL works best with uncut distillate. Annie and I are a team; she grows and I process it into distillate. Here are pics of my Silo with a recently-refilled (third use currently) 1 ml CCELL filled with a Ghost OG distillate, undiluted. It is such a nice effective device to use that I've cleaned and retired my "old faithful" dab rig. Pardon the blurry images. Scripto lighter is a scale object.

Oh wow that was a great troll question
I've been here since 2011 and have watched as many spammers have gone over these forums trying to increase sales. It was particularly bad with some of the cheap chinese lights. So I usually simply ask if there is any affiliation. It was not meant to be offensive nor do I take offense if I'm asked when I share a good (or bad) experience with a product, especially when they are hard to find products.
