Oh snap!! You woke up the dead guy you've been keeping in that cup!! I can't say that I blame him. I'd come back from the dead for that too! +rep bro.
As far as the Qwiso goes, grindin gave me some good tips and I've figured out a couple things after doing a few runs and adjusting little things each time. I think the reason that your batch turned out oily is your straining / draining method. I know because I did the exact same thing and got the exact same result as you.
Because it took so long to drain when we put the coffee filter over the jar, our trimmings / buds continued to soak in the ISO when we turned the jar upside down to drain. That stripped the leaves of the chlorophyl and that mixed with the essential ingredients dissolved in the ISO to make it oily.
Here's how I've had the best luck: I freeze the ISO and the trim for at least 12 hours before I do the run - 24 hours is better. I've also found that it's easier to freeze the trim right in the jar that you're going to use to make the Qwiso. Before I remove those from the freezer, I get my station set up. I use three different mesh colanders and 6 unbleached coffee filters. I take the biggest colander and use that as my the base. Then I layer the coffee filters so that there's no chance that any ISO can miss going through at least 2 of the filters if the colander tips to the side.

I sullied two different batches early on because the colander tipped a tiny bit and the ISO spilled over top of the filters right into what had already been filtered. After I have all of the filters laid out, I sandwich them in there with the next smallest colander.

Then I set the smallest colander on top:

The mesh size of the colanders doesn't really matter; the coffee filters are what's doing your filtering. I've been drying the ISO in a casserole dish, so I set that up and get my colanders in place over top of the dish. After I get set up, I grab the jar of trim and the ISO. grindin gave me the tip that getting everything done in 30-40 seconds gives you the purest end product, and boy was he right.
I dump the ISO in as quickly as possible, shake like a mofo for 30 seconds, then quickly dump everything into the smallest colander. I added the smallest colander to the setup so that I could immediately pick the trim up out of the ISO to prevent the chlorophyl from being stripped from the leaves. After I pick up the trim, I give it a quick press with my fingers to get a good amount of the ISO out. I've found that pressing the trim too much to squeeze out the remaining ISO seems to extract some chlorophyl and make the end product a little oily.
After a quick press, I set the smallest colander with the trim somewhere in front of a gentle fan to evaporate the little bit of remaining ISO off. Once dry, the trim goes into storage for adding to a batch of medibles. I've tried three or four times to do a second run on the trimmings, but each time turned out oily and was really hard to gather up.
Hope this helps brothaman :smokebuds:
