@Vapo69 Please do not use Isopropyl alcohol for anything other than cleaning tools. It is toxic to humans. I bought a Green Oil Machine clone for less than $150. I can distill two cheap 1.75 L bottles of vodka (~$20) and get 1.4 L of 185 proof ethanol. That is a savings of over $50 per batch. So in 3 batches I am break even.hey Maria...hope you are well
dont worry dude haha...
...I haven't used anything yet....but thanks for the answer and the dispelling of the myth that exists around using iso for extraction purposes.....Im uk but im going to research the machine you linked in......thanks again bro...Top Man

- are you special?
Ribbzzy tincture thread has a list of cheaper and maybe a couple of % higher than the balkan i got.or maybe they just hammered me on postage 
if i remember.
thats good digging Vapo
i could only find a half bottle of everyclear on ebay for £70.
iso not for drinking.just cleaning and iso hash where the hash dries hard like a stone.then crumbled and smoked in a joint.not really worth the hassle as theres so many other ways to do the same thing,but worth a bash like most other things.
keep er lit.

Hey there! I'm no expert. @Mañ'O'Green has far more experience, check his thread on extractions.
I'm using food grade 95% ethanol.
I'm tempted to use isopropyl, as I'm confident I can vaporize off all the isopropyl and leave it clean.
But... I need to research it a bit more to be sure.
I don't think there is food grade isopropyl, is there? It's a toxin to humans.
Ethanol is, too, but somehow we have a culture of consuming the stuff... (well, other people, not me!)
I think do go for something food grade, i.e. something that humans can put in their bodies in small amounts that aren't toxic.
I'm finding that doing these ethanol cook offs far easier than straight oil (or butter).
The oil and butter methods take hours to cook. Though, the result of my coconut oil was very good.
I'm finding that with two washes, then two quick strains, rice cooker as double boiler, can do whole cook in maybe 90 minutes.
