The ONLY “Ethanol” that Amazon can legally sell is DENATURED! Same as what the ADD to denatured ISO.
Are you sure about this? Is this a federal law or Amazon's policies only? Are you telling me that the link I posted is denatured as well? And.. both ISO and Ethanal can be denatured? The way I understand this is ISO and Ethanal are the same thing.. other than the fact that one is food safe and can actually get you drunk while the other has additives that make it not safe for human consumption but rather for cleaning. Am I understanding this correctly? I'm currently researching the laws now and since I know that Ethanol can be shipped to California by 420 Extractor I'm pretty sure this is just an amazon policy because I know now that Ethanol can be shipped here so why does Amazon not sell Non Denatured??? Sorry for the confusion but this really threw me a curve ball. Please do let me know and confirm that I'm understanding this correctly. Both ISO and Ethanol can be denatured then? I'm really fucking confused now.. sorry but I am. I'll get back tomorrow when I find out more but please feel free to let me know that I'm understanding this correctly.
Thanks for the wiki link.
I don’t use it in large volumes as a cleaner. I bought a gallon to use for alcohol extractions, where the “Source Turbo”, can reclaim about 190% of the Ethanol like a still. Since I have a decent amount, I use it in a small pump bottle, I’ll add a recent link below on that. I use it to clean small items with QTips and tiny squares of paper towels I cut. The larger things like my GLASS rigs, which get filled with the disposable Simple Green Crystal, for an hour soak, then hot water rinsed, then filled with fresh DISTILLED water.y
I would imagine it would be able to be recycled at least 20 times or more.. to the point of turning dark brown? Like I do with my ISO?
I go through more Orange Chronic cleaner than ISO because I can't recycle it as many times as the ISO.. maybe it's because the ISO is basically used for soaking everything from Titanium, glass, vape parts, plastics (but only for 5 to 10 minutes), and my old e cig tanks before I quit cigs and vaping too. In other words, what I'm saying is.. whatever I get.. ISO or Ethanol is going to last me a very, very, very, long time. I don't use ISO for cleaning my rigs.. just orange chronic. I tried using ISO and Salt and it just doesn't do it like the Orange Chronic does and effortlessly too.
As far as your Alcohol extractions, I'm completely clueless as to what you're talking about. I don't know what "source turbo" is and what you mean when you say you can reclaim 190% of the Ethanol.. When I went to the site you mentioned.. 420 extractors.. I also read the description of what it's used for.. stuff like tinctures, etc. Are they talking about people making concentrates with this stuff? I really don't understand.
You mentioned that you use Simple Green Crystal to clean your bongs instead of ISO, and it works just as well? Simple Green Crystal is supposed to be non toxic or so I read. I just bought that Gallon of Simple Green Crystal you shared and honestly, It was just mainly for the sapphire dish. I'll definitely give it a test drive on one of my rigs and probably using it for other things. If I just bought that whole gallon just for that sapphire dish.. ugh the thought LOL. What else can I use it for as far as cleaning my vape equipment? I actually looked for a smaller bottle and couldn't find one that was Crystal Simple Green so I did buy that gallon, it should be arriving Friday.
I do use Distilled water to fill my rigs.. but I refuse to use it to rinse as I don't think that's a risk for hard water deposits since I basically clean my glass and have it dried with a hair dryer (cool trick I just discovered and works great on drop downs and down stems that will evaporate the tiny little wetness still inside those joints making them appear brand new) in under 5 minutes.. I read that some people here actually use distilled water to rinse but it seems like a waste to me unless of course you are rinsing it into a bucket that gets put back into the bottle. I dunno, it just sounds like too much headache for me. I think I'm good with how fast I clean my glass in under 5 minutes every other day and rinsing in tap water. I used to keep fish and know that the tap water here in Los Angeles is just over 7 but not to alkaline.. It was perfect for keeping Cichlids and other fresh water fish tho!
On a side note, I do have a really bad hard water deposit on my broken Purr Swiss Honeycomb that I need to know I can remove before sending it into repair. You seem pretty knowledgeable, I'll PM you if that's ok with you. I'll explain it over PM.
Personally, I wouldn’t store any potent ISO or ETHANOL in “Tupperware”, unless I knew what type of plastic it is, as not all plastics are SOLVENT SAFE.
I thought about this before but I didn't really think it was possible to seep through plastic since it's shipped in plastic. I am just talking about when I'm soaking things like my Titanium, metal, WPA's and other glass adapters. It's really hard to tell if the ISO is evaporating since it's 99%. I just know I keep using it till it turns so dark brown, I can't stand looking at it anymore lol. Do I have reason to worry that it would somehow eat through the tupperware and plastic containers from Salsa manufacturers like the Acid blood from the Face Hugger in the Alien film? LOL
But seriously.. I have to worry about this?
And back to your D Cup... When your sapphire gets stuck in the bucket.. you take it apart (similar to the T bucket) and soak the TI cup right obviously to get the sapphire insert out? So simple green works great on your bongs.. I got that but is it really safe to soak Titanium?
Whew.. I know that was a whole lot of questions.. Again, alot of these things you mentioned are completely new for me like when you mentioned "Alcohol Extractions".. I have no clue what you mean. Sorry for the confusion, but hey I'm learning something new.. it comes with the Territory.
Let me know, in the meantime I just want to be sure that Amazon won't sell pure ISO and Ethanol that isn't denatured. I do believe you, but I'm always thinking some seller is getting away with it. Let me know thanks man.
