Extraction Where's all the eth extractors?

Dutch Passion Lemon Z
Finally made the time to try a QWET with sugar leaf from this years grow.
My intent was for tincture and that is what I got and I like it!

Took the leaf I had and de-carbed half of it and ran the remaining half as dried only.
I studied the leaf after it was washed as best I could and saw that there remained but a teeny tiny fraction of the trichomes that were there to begin with. Okey-dokey there.

1ml of the de-carbed tinc under the tongue has me clear-headed while feeling like I'm wrapped up in a thick comfey quilt. Nice.
1ml of the dried-only does nothing other than allow me to sleep the sleep of the unafflicted (-:
Again, nice.

The Clear Springs is for sure a little tingly in the mouth but shoot, Listerine BURNS in comparison!

I'll be doing more with tinctures and the like in the future no doubt 'bout it.
 
Can I smoke qwiso concentrate after I scrape it, let it cool off, or do I have to further purify it (for example with vacuum chamber)? Thanks.

I would let it cool down in the pan,and if it is gooey or still runny I would purge it further,if it is purged to the point that you can handle it without it melting to quickly in your fingers its prolly good..what i would recommend is definately let the pan cool and take a sample to smoke if you like it you can warm the pan back up to make it pliable for the scraping..is this the reason you are scraping it warm??

If you do want to purge it further,like overnight,a heatlamp will get it to about 120f and long purge it,the longer it sits at a reasonable temp the more anything trapped will purge,,since its winter where i am,i cant sun purge anymore so i use this method indoors,at this point the fumes are negligible,one note is that when the majority of the iso purges from the pan you will smell the "essence"/"aroma" of the oil cooking off,this is usually the point i take it off to check it,if its a really thin layer it will probably be done,but a thicker layer may have some trapped underneath and in between,hope this helps..orhers may have a different opinion and that cool cause there is more than ine way to skin the cat..also i welcome others to chime in,thats how we all learn..im gonna document another iso run tonight,ill post here..

I have used 99,9% ISO Alcohol, extremely cold, used trim and some buds in big mason jar, filled it with ISO and threw it back to the freezer for a minute. I filtered it through a cheesecloth (forgot to buy coffee filters) and boiled it in pyrex cooking dish on a ceramic stove. Furthermore I kept stirring it with a broken fork I use for technical stuff (cleaned it with ISo before) in order to increase the reaction further, I tried getting rid of the formed bubbles. What I was left with was thick, light golden brown oil that quickly cooled and hardened, thus why I had to scrape it off because I couldn't get the dish to heat up enough without further burning off the concentrate.

Thank you for the tips. I'm asking because concentrates are something almost unheard of in my country, so I can't even get a vacuum container that would further purge BHO if I made some (they sell the extractors and whatnot for it but not the god damn vacuum oven) thus why I chose ISO.

Ahhh i gotcha!! Lets get an opinion from @archie gemmill and @pop22 they always have good info as well,,any chance of getting the 190 grain alcohol?? Im sure u looked which is why u use the iso,,i do iso pull a few times a year,the flavor is different than a eth pull but its damn potent!! You will be able to "taste" it if its not purged completely,and even if you can taste it,the levels are prolly low enough to not be of concern...post some pics..we wanna see!!!
