I've made QWISO hash with my remains. Last time I used 35g and produced about 2g of black, sticky gooey hash.
After the strain, there were absolutely no 'floating particles' (i.e. nothing made it past my filter setup). When it was done the entire bottom of the pyrex was coated in a lovely gold goo that came up black.
Smoked wonderfully. Yes, I smoked a little of it.
He's right, everyone.
I'm surprised at how few threads there are out there with reports on how QWISO works on AVB (or not). Not everyone wants to EAT their AVB... so what else is there for people like us to do with AVB?
QWISO means quick wash with isopropyl alcohol. 91% or better is best, but I had nice success with the 70% I already have here. After all, the rest is water (check the label to be sure).
Why quick wash? [Which means, washing with iso for only 30 seconds or such, you do NOT let it sit for a long time in iso].
The first time I tried to QWISO something, it was my wand which had quite a bit of particulate matter that I did not have a coffee filter on hand to filter out with. When I tried to use it, there was this godawful taste that was seriously turning me off of it.
I've read where someone said that iso starts reacting with the plant matter after a few minutes to create a lot of undesirables, so having particulates sit for days in iso is probably what caused it.
So, I did not have much hope for anything tasty when I tried QWISO with almost a half oz of AVB I had that was brown (looked like tobacco) because my vape was really cheap and prone to scorching it... I had milked that stuff for all its worth too, for all the penalty in taste... so I thought not much would come of it.
I had a coffee filter ready this time, so I was able to wash the entire thing in a glass jar for 30 seconds, strain it through the filter, and throw the filter/avb away. No particulate matter, and the liquid is on the bottom of a large glass dish.
A few days later (I wanted it completely dry, so waited a day past the point where it looked dry) I was shocked at how much I was able to scrape up with a razor blade that smelled HEAVENLY... a ball almost the size of a standard marble... from less than a half oz. Instead of looking black its more brownish/molassish.
I haven't tried vaping it... I did smoke it and it definitely couchlocked me. More CBNs as opposed to THC? Who knows...
This is a far, far, far, far, far, FAR better option than scraping black resin from smoked pipes and enduring the taste and brief high of THAT.
I'm sold on vaporizing. How did we live without this?
