well with a gallon of iso going for about 25-30$ in canada.... combine that with some activated carbon to purify the iso that bit more and i think youll be further ahead! and doing iso recovery eg, isomeriztion... isnt worth the hassle in my opinion!

it's quite easily done with an inverted pot lid and a piece of cotton twine. (you lose maybe 10% from opening and closing but it's better than total waste.)

price-wise, ferrr shrrrr, i get iso @ wholesale price and there's always a bag of activated carbon around the grow so it'd be cheaper, but i'd be quite willing to pay 4x for the solvent if it's worth it.

not to mention, in the greater vancouver area it's getting harder and harder to find at retailers because the local bums keep getting hospitalised from watering it down and drinking it.

your in van kitty?
vancouver island here!

also the best systems ive seen for isomerization, are converted pressure cookers... cook 90% of the way down in pressure cooker and finish in a regular fashion

recently tho, i found 2L bundles of 99% iso at costco for only 8$!

depends on the heat, and the amount of solvent... 1L of iso can be cooked off in ~45min?

What consistency/appearance of hash would you expect to yield if you used say two ounces of compressed reggie? Where I live it's just too expensive to make hash from good weed when you have to pay $60-70 an 8th for it...I just want some sort of concentrate to toke on for once in my life, lol. The weed itself gives me a decent enough stone, so I figure the concentrate wouldn't be too horrible.

Solid tutorial my man! I have been trying to put one of these together myself for a different forum since there has been A LOT of poorly made stuff over there.

My question is....I process my final product a little differently. I let it air dry by a fan, which creates a somewhat white crust (I think it's h20 still trapped or something) because when I pop it in the oven to decarb for 15 minutes at 220 it disappears.

Do you have to heat it to get the oil you get? Usually my finished product comes out to look something like this. (I know I can get it purer, but this is not bad) I just want to get that consistency you have so I can dab it. I have been doing a lot more bho runs recently since I can dab that much easier.

I'm pretty sure you cooked it all the way down....there is no more alcohol. To dab I would heat up my dabber and it will melt the hash around it.

I wish we shared the same standards, hehehe. That weed in your picture looks better than the 20-25/g nug I can find here.
