ABV Alcohol

[Sedge]

looks like we got a new sponsor,

Anyone know much about the stuff ?
curious if it is less harsh than ISO.
pretty dear though compared to ISO.

I saw this alcohol on ebay the other week. I was looking for Polmos Spiritus to make some RSO. It works out to be around the same price or a little more expensive than 2x500ml bottles of Polmos Spiritus. Both are the same strength.

Vaping the oil I made from iso is somewhat harsh ,,
id try this if it is a cleaner smoke ..

at that price probaby need the gear to save the alcohol for reuse.

Reflux still is only ~$400 ...just sayin'

What is that ?

 

[Pikey]

What is that ?

A column still, for making high (upto 95%) alcohol.

Would work out much more economical, plus you can make your own piss, if you're a drinker

Really don't know, as I've only ever used ISO to make oil.

A reflux still will produce the same 95% ethyl alcohol as in the listing you posted at the top.

From my understanding it would give a better end result than using ISO, but that is just anecdotal and not from any personal knowledge/experience

I've always put RSO in capsules. After doing a little looking around, it doesn't look like smoking it is advisable.

 

[Pikey]

If done right all the ISO is removed (boiled off) in the final steps of making the RSO.

You are right though, I wouldn't be keen on consuming too much ISO

 

[Sedge]

Looks like I got some research to do .

waiting on Hudo’s review of his press ..
should give a good clean smoke ,,,hopefully ,,and quicker process.

 

[bushbob]

I think the next best thing from ISO extract for smoking is co2 extraction. Equipment can be expensive but there is a small scale extractor for $678

I used to run a still a few years ago.
You can get 95% alcohol however it does have some unpleasant flavors and aromas until it has been filtered through activated carbon. That is why any reasonable Vodka is "triple" distilled.

Edit: You could of course do either method

Do U purge your oil after U make it to get all impurities out ?

This seems to be the final process that makes all the difference. There was a period a few years back where a few of us were doing ISO runs and comparing notes, but because I didn't have the purging gear and I couldn't quite clean it up with reducing it right down alone. Whereas those that had the gear reported theirs turned out fine.

Which is why I've ditched ISO for now and taken this route, and having a crack making a tincture and reduce it down when a batch is required.

You must use vacume pump to purge un wanted chemicals! Pleaaase..☠

 

[Indy]

For those that don't get what we're on about. It's basically a kit like this..

 

[Madmick]

Just ordered 1

 

[Dotts]

I have that exact same vacum chamber.

Shouldn't have to purge the ISO oil with the vacuum chamber.

BHO, yes..

Lil drop of water in rice cooker with
ISO/oil mix when right at the end of boil will stop the oil burning and remove all the iso..
Oil will always be harsh if ya tryin to smoke/dad/nail it...

I do use 100% iso for extraction but... 95% with the still alcohol for tincture..
