Hey Oakley, thanks for the guide!

How do you feel about using a rice cooker instead of a hotplate. I've been maing oil in one (my method isn't as good as yours though) and it seems to work really well. On the "warm" setting it gets to a tiny bit over 90. The ISO boils, but is that a low enough temp to keep from degrading THC?

Thanks again. Looking forward to trying your method.

Solid tutorial my man! I have been trying to put one of these together myself for a different forum since there has been A LOT of poorly made stuff over there.

My question is....I process my final product a little differently. I let it air dry by a fan, which creates a somewhat white crust (I think it's h20 still trapped or something) because when I pop it in the oven to decarb for 15 minutes at 220 it disappears.

Do you have to heat it to get the oil you get? Usually my finished product comes out to look something like this. (I know I can get it purer, but this is not bad) I just want to get that consistency you have so I can dab it. I have been doing a lot more bho runs recently since I can dab that much easier.

ive found air drying to be a complete and total waste of time. by the time it actually airs off properly so much other shit has come to rest in the pan that its become dirty, also air drying does not give you that gel like texture i refer to..

try cooking it on a hotplate like i said

First let me say great post, been a bho fan and maker but have always wanted to lean about iso, and I will give this a try.

I do have a couple of mechanic's questions.
In the tutorial, you have 3 photos of the filtered oil in the coffee filter. I assume the 3rd photo is the filter after the oil has been removed??
So how do you pull the oil out of the filter to get it into the cooking pan???
I hope I'm not missing something real basic here.

yup your missing something extremely basic, your oil is in the isopropanol... whats in the coffee filter is plant material (trichomes inparticular)
the coffee filter is the last step before you would put your isopropanol solution into a pyrex dish and then cooked off...
once all the isopropanol is evaporated your oils left in the pan

nice to see you made your way over mellokitty! i personally have no expeirience with that no... form the looks of it looks like a fantastic product to use... keep in mind that my method doesnt include a recover for the solvent, its cook to waste...

altho ive never used an ethyl based alcohol to make oil with, ive read that its by far hands down the best solvent to use because of its chemical structure.. altho i have no way to Verify that info!

if you do, follow my guide closely!... it also helps to do it outside when its like -10... nothing ever warms up that way!

you wont be sorry :D

yeah, it's a bit $$$ for a cook to waste method, but i'm super-curious what the end product would be like.

i'm still working on mr kitty to let me make some errrrrl.... he's had bho-tard friends in the past so he won't even let me use an iso recovery method, even if i do it outside. *pouts*

well with a gallon of iso going for about 25-30$ in canada.... combine that with some activated carbon to purify the iso that bit more and i think youll be further ahead! and doing iso recovery eg, isomeriztion... isnt worth the hassle in my opinion!

Absolutely beautiful.

How would you recommend running iso through kief to obtain the same oil you got there? If it can be done?
