So I tried the resin reclaiming using isopropyl process... It came out in a consistency of molasses. Smelled and tasted just like bong/ pipe resin. Can't really give a smoke report because I was mixing it with some nugs. I ran it through multiple coffee filters to try and get it less black looking, which helped but not all the way. It came out looking black but in the sun you could see its more brown with a golden tint.
i think for the best results this process should be used on pieces that are solely used for smoking bho or wax. in these "oil rigs" the resin is referred to as reclaim. i would not do this one a piece i smoked flowers out of, but then again some people smoke their resin. i have not done that for a very long time.

activated charcoal is what lighten shit up and absorb small amounts of impurities. perform the filtration hot, but dont add the charcoal to a boiling solution as it will boil over.

DAMN!! i had so many dirty oil bong shit thrown away. im sure i could have gotten a grip of grams back from all my bong cleanings. wish i would have seen this post a few weeks ago. i know use room temp water in my rig. it seems to collect more resins when the water is ice cold. so i was wasting a lot of fucking oil, im sure!! nice tip! i may have to try this out sometime soon!

i was thinking about a scf extraction of chocolate, then not washing the extraction vessel and do a mmj extraction of honey oil w the infused chocolate taste in the honey oil. it was also going to be a whole another thing but extracting pot and throwing it in hot chocolate for a beverage called hot potcolate!

you really want to use ethanol if your concerned about taste. way sweeter than iso, rubbing, or denatured could ever produce. none of those are fit for human consumption unless thew iso was ran thru a couple loaves of bread, but it would be rough way worse than the unpleasantness of everclear or baccarrdi 151.

Ok, so this is an old thread, but I joined this site just to post this. Everyone on here has been correct (except ISO reclaim IS worth saving.) The process you want to use has almost been completely covered. If you're trying to smoke or consume your reclaim, settle for nothing less than 91% ISO (even that's a little low.) If you're just dumping the mixture, 91% will dissolve everything perfectly fine.
Begin by placing a Pyrex pan (preferably the one you use to blast into) on top of a skillet or large pot that has a good amount of water in it. The idea is that if the water was boiling, it wouldn't be hitting the bottom of the Pyrex pan, just steaming directly on to the bottom of the pan. Put a medium high heat and walk away to allow time boil as you clean your rig.
Now I have a small rig, so I can just pour a small amount into it and block the hole for the nail and shake it up, works perfectly. I also use a domeless TI, so I don't have to mess with extra glass. If you have a dome or any other small pieces you can't wash inside the piece itself, or if your piece is too complicated to clean out of a baggie, put these into the corner of SEPERATE plastic bags (as small a bag as the piece will fit in.) Now pour as little ISO as you can possibly use (I'll explain briefly) and seal that thing tight and shake like crazy, making sure to keep the piece in the corner. Once the piece is clean, remove it while keeping the mix in the corner you used; set this aside in this position for each bag. A simple water wash and lint less towel wipe down to each piece will clean them sufficiently.
Ok, so we have baggies ( and possibly a rig, if small enough) full of ISO/oil mix. (FYI: You can clean out your oil dishes with this ISO/oil mix and dissolve the oil residue off of that into it. Use as little as possible and don't use fresh ISO!!! Use the mix you already have.) Now here is the part where I do something differently. Remember that pot of water with the Pyrex pan? By now the pan should be hot. We're going to pour that mix into the hot pan while its still above the boiling water to purge it. This is the exact purging method I use after I've blasted my flowers and all the butane has dissipated into the air. It's a very natural, smooth purge, and your oil pan is kept a perfect distance away from open flame, even if you used a skillet.
If you're OCD like me, then you'll hate scraping oil of the edges of your Pyrex. Well for this, I have a solution for you. The reason we got the pan so hot in the first place is because when you pour that mix into the pan, the edges of it are immediately going to start evaporating due to the heat, leaving behind that gooey goodness. If you pour small amounts of the mix in and roll it around the middle while keeping it above the water (wear oven mitts!!!), it will evaporate very quickly, while keeping the oil in the middle where it's easy to scrape! Just slowly add small pools of mix as the old pools fully evaporate (for the baggies, I discovered that cutting the corner of the bag that you didn't shake the mix in and then tipping the mix to that side of the bag controls the flow easier.)
The reason I told you to use as little ISO as possible and to use the already mixed ISO to clean your dish is because you want this mix to be as concentrated as possible. The more ISO used, the more taste you'll lose from the final product, and it'll take even longer to make that finished product. Once you have finished all the mix, turn everything off and wipe the bottom of your Pyrex down on a towel (careful this pan is HOT!) Allow this pan to cool to room temp (or cool enough to touch comfortably.)
You're now ready to scrape and enjoy that still potent goo! Now I always put a solid, bright white towel on top of your lap under the Pyrex when I scrape, whether I've just blasted it reclaimed. This allows you to completely see all of that oil so you don't miss a drop of hard work.
Any questions, please reply, I'm always glad to answer them. I hope this helps, and I hope it gets a few people to try my purging method if they haven't. It's noob and common sense, but it's very nice and good for people who do t have time to vacuum purge.
Happy medicating people!!!
