How To Make Concentrated Cannabis Oil

When I do the new bottle tomorrow I will stop it half way through and put it in another container to cool and test. I really believe I let it go too long.

PS, this is the lower watt oil distiller.

Yes, it is! Distilling iso may well concentrate the toxins by boiling away the 'clean' alcohol.

We can try distilling the iso FIRST and then using the 'cleaner' stuff, but the toxins may well distill with the alcohol.

Distill something 151 proof and edible. Problem solved.

I'll have a hydrometer on monday, so I'll see what proof we can easily take 151 proof to.

That would be awesome , I can easily get 151 proof and I am currently making my own distiller , should be completed by tomorrow. perfect timing. Hopefully after distillation it will be usable for extractions.

Right-o Dennise,

After everything I've read and uncovered since this topic started...that stuff is not going into my oil OR my topicals.
Done deal.

I couldn't agree with you more. I'd hope that someone reading this discussion would be responsible enough to read through to the conclusion. I think we covered the debate quite thoroughly and I have no problems with questioning until I found acceptable answers. The reality is that this solvent is widely used and now we can speak with authority as to why we avoid it and why we recommend others find more appropriate choices.

It's going to come up again in the future. We'll all be better prepared for that eventuality because we jumped all over it now. I came away from this proud of how we were able to carry on this discussion with respect and dignity.

Now, we just need to get the alcohol that we are limited on to the proof we need. This Distiller testing is going to be very interesting.
If we can get most of that water out by running it through a couple times.....yeah. Now we're makin' good pure oil!

Wow panacea!!! What a find. Blogging as soon as I get back to my iPad.

Thank you so much for that. I can't wait to have a bigger screen to work at. This tiny phone screen is taxing the eyes. Great news on the still too. I have a hygrometer in shipment and I'll be doing the same with Everclear 151 when I get the replacement distiller, which I need to order right now, as a matter of fact.

I tried many of the links on this, but only found one that partially worked. One of them wasn't allowed access by Norton. Naturally all the ones that didn't work were about what is going on with me. Oh well. Might be an old site.

Yeah sorry about that guys. I did not go on every link, just coincidentally the ones I did click on I was allowed access.

If you have a blocked link that you can't read, send me a PM. I have a doorway through a research hospital that includes subscriptions to several research publication websites. I can give it a try.
 
Sure beats trying to post it all to a blog. :rofl: There's some good studying there for sure.

Thanks for that 420!
 
Here are the results from the latest oil distiller run. 1.75L 90 proof vodka, run in distiller 2 hours. I reclaimed 1.25L. Tossed the .5 left in the distiller. The test results were 142 proof or around 69%. I am now in the process of redistilling the not so great run from yesterday. I will have those results this afternoon.
