@OldOyler- This is why I like these sites and being able to speak with others. Helps us all to learn more. I have never tried using grain alcohol when applying heat. I am guessing you have never had the water issue because you were using heat, which enables the water to evaporate more evenly...

Something I would like to add. I did do another experiment. I have some 3-4 year old RSO. Some of the best I have ever made. It is sealed in a vial which is also sealed in a jar. The RSO was made with 99% iso. After it having been double sealed for years, I did open it and try some a few days...

I finally got around to comparing the 192 proof polish vodka to the 200 proof KleenXtract (organic ethanol). The ethyl was exactly what I was looking for, no water left behind. At the end of evaporation the 192 proof alcohol would always leave a milky water at the end of the process. Then I...

Kudos to you OldOyler! I am really enjoying your enthusiasm! It is very inspiring!! For drying buds intended for an extraction. I have always just allowed them to dry a little extra. More dry than I would like for smoking. Usually 5 to 7 days depending on the humidity. Then jar them up until...

@OldOyler Thank you. Looking forward to hearing of your results. It is kind of exciting actually. For starters, doing that large of amount, play it safe and go 120 days for the ND Sap. I have not made it enough times yet to have that process nailed down yet as to the exact number of days...

I just went to the link you provided and did not come across anything regarding terpenes. I tried helping him understand a few things. If you read the link he states he does not know why the product is more potent and higher in THC after it has been vaporized. He says we need to learn more about...

It can naturally decarb on it's own with out a heated process. It just needs to be in a liquid state, like honey or thinner and stored in a sealed vial or jar with a back up plate or cup in case it leaks due to the pressure from the decarbing. 100 to 120 days it should be totally naturally...

Kind of recently I spoke with Gray Wolf (Skumkpharms) about my findings with the naturally decarbed oil being different, an improvement, and containing all of the terpenes without having to buy any special equipment. I have been sending my information to Rick Simpson for quite some time now...

At 240F some of the terpenes do not evaporate, but there is something that must be considered. Did the terpenes oxidize? In other words, were they chemically changed to a low to no value medicinal terpene. Any additional heat causes damage. I am 100% confident. I have compared many different...

I have looked over all three books. I like them all and would recommend them all. If I had to choose only one, it would be Modern Essentials Sixth Edition. This one came in a bundle with a quick reference guide and a pocket reference book. Modern Essentials is easier to use because it is color...

The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy, Valerie Ann Worwood - I first found this book as hard cover for around $80, then I found one in Paperback for $17. Modern Essentials Sixth Edition, Aroma Tools - $35 for the book, chart, and pocket reference. Essential Oils Pocket...

I don't think you ruined it at all. At the worse, possibly lost some terpenes. Try to look at terpenes like alcohol. They evaporate very easily, especially with heat. If I am not mistaken, terpenes will evaporate like alcohol with no heat, just not as fast. I may have mentioned this...

I did a side-by-side comparison using gran alcohol with 2 different strains. My favorite strain for oil making reacted even worse than what you showed. It even wanted to putty up and it came out brown. Usually it comes out a nice golden color when using 99% iso. After taking the extra steps...

I am assuming you used grain alcohol. A lot of strains are sensitive to grain alcohol, others are not. One of my strains reacts similar to your picture, it kind of separated and chunked up. What I did to solve this for that individual strain was, diluted it with some fresh alcohol, you will...

The process sounds good to me, but I have never used the double boiler method and I have never used grain alcohol to produce RSO. I would have, but I learned about ND Sap by the time I was gong to try grain alcohol for the RSO. I can only speak from what I have actually experienced. The...

I will be honest, I don't quite have the process down pat using grain alcohol. I have only used it during the warmer months and it was a pain because the alcohol was evaporating faster than the water and much water was left behind. I got it to where I wanted it and made the ND Sap, but it was a...

Let us know more about it. I can't say that I know of a good portable vaporizer for buds. I wish I knew how it compares to the Magic Flight Launch Box.

I don't believe it will cause any of the good stuff to go away. As long as you don't use heat, most of the good stuff should stay. Just allow it to evaporate off the added solvent before covering the storage container. Stirring a few times per day will probably be required. It will help it to...

I believe straight shatter will work in the KISS, referring to BHO shatter. How well, I do not know. I do know of someone that used regular BHO (not shatter, more like a putty), and their complaint with the KISS cart was the same as other units that are similar. They say that the concentrate...

@killick In regards to vaping the oil straight. Wow! I went back and looked at the KISS carts (it has been a while) they are half price now and you can order in bulk and save even more. I will be ordering more of those now that they are more reasonably priced. I like them. Pre-soaking the...
