RSO is just QWET/QWISO/etc that is cooked (in a rice cooker usually) to get rid of the solvent used. I have stated my views on what works and what doesn't and differences between PG, PEG, EJ Mix, and VG. Obviously pictures don't prove it out and you have decided for whatever reason that my experience is worthless.
With that said, the second half of my run is done. This was the dark QWET using some ethanol I used to clean up atomizers, pyrex, etc from past use. In the past, I always used that second run with the reclaim for RSO and noticed no difference. This time I air dried it. It was interesting. It was very "slick", almost slimy but not really. Kind of a cross between a plastic and taffy. There was also some liquid that was not water you an see in the pic (I dabbed it out). I assume this is from the PG and other stuff that would have gotten into the ethanol during the cleanings. So a little harder to scrape but worked fine. Technique exactly the same as yesterday. Recipe this time was: 4.5 ml of oil, 8 ml of PG, 8 drops of EJ Mix.
Once again, further pushing the boundaries of how little EJ Mix can be used to keep it in solution, using mostly PG. 8 drops appears to be about .2 ml. from dumping into a syringe. So down to 1.5% of the final mix and it is holding perfectly. Amazing! Extra ethanol is still evaporating out per my method, but excited to taste it. The one I made yesterday is great. It started getting back the natural oil flavor I like with minimal of the EJ Mix yuck for me.
