Iso extract, temperature question

mokuro · Feb 26, 2013

Hello again great community!

I was reading some guides, and found those 2:
BadKit's extraction: http://forum.grasscity.com/incredib...h-candy-canna-bombs-more-49.html#post13446289
Oakley extraction: https://www.rollitup.org/concentrates-extracts/489366-iso-extractions-_oakley_.html

On Badkits, it's warm alcohol, on oakley he says to use frozen buds/alcohol

what's the difference between them? (about the Warm alcohol vs Frozen alcohol)?

extraction capacity of the solvent
the cold temperatures help to lock out the undesirable compounds.. eg chlorophyll

Hey oakley! sup!

Thx for showing up
so, basically, the unique difference is those compounds like chlorophyl (Taste of final product)l? the abount of canabioids is the same?

imagine iso like water... and the pot like salt... it will only hold so much in suspension before it becomes supersaturated...
as it becomes more saturated it becomes a mixture of the water / salt
so at that point your "water" isnt as "strong" anymore youve lost concentration and therefore extraction power
by reducing the contaminants in your solvent you are left with a stronger solvent for longer to extract the desired compounds
not only that but you are left with a significantly higher quality product... remember the concept here is to make a concentrated version.. not just liquid pot

Got it!
Thanks for the explanation :clap:

We extract frozen with polar solvents, because they are fully miscible in water and chlorophyll is 100% soluble in them. By freezing the water, it is not available for extraction, along with its water solubles, and locks in the chlorophyll, so the solvent can't get to it to dissolve it.

Good advice Fadedawg!

The other part of the equation is not being in contact with the IPA very long. Add IPA, shake gently for 20 seconds and pour thru a stainless steel strainer, so that it drains very quickly. You should get 70-80% of the trichomes with the first wash. The hash from second wash will probably have slightly different properties, so we keep them separated.

not trying to be rude but... fail...

he already referenced my guide... and i will seriously pay you if you an find someone who makes a better iso product than i.

Are you the Matt Rize of ISO? Pat yourself on the back! I looked at your thread. I see it only took 32 pages and 317 posts to get a good looking extraction.

Haha you know what is hilarious. .. the only thing that changed in those 32 pages... was my camera and oil dish.. troll fail.
