Well when I cook it in the cooker I can watch all the iso bubble off to the point where it’s just completely black oil.
Then I leave it on the coffee maker all night which I’m 100% sure at that point all alcohol has evaded away. I hope that’s correct lol.

I find if I leave it on the coffee machine warmer plate that it eventually cooks into a darker harsher oil, because at that point I think it is burnt as in overcooked.

Hmm I usually end up with some very Gold when spread and smells delicious.

How are you removing the solvent vapor from the space it is in ? the vapor is denser than air, travels like an invisible cloud and like ether will explode if it comes in contact with a spark of any sort.

There is a fan set up. You just can’t see it.
But I’m no so convinced it even matters with
A it being outside and
B. No open flame on a rice cooker and no dumbass friends or myself smoking around it.
I still put the fan anyway though.

Ah, it looked like it was inside a room which had me worried for your safety. Volatile solvents are tricky, they can sometimes ignite from the current in a wall socket if something is plugged in and drawing current.

The fan is good (even outside) because it helps disperse it more quickly which can prevent pooling of the vapor.
 
Hey 'Jay, please do no take offense but I feel your yield is rather low for the volume you are using. My Source Turbo holds between 300-350ml and nets me 2-3 grams on the first wash, and recover 80%+ of the alcohol. It is a closed vacuum system so there are no safety issues That rice cooker looks like more that 2000ml. I would expect a higher yield from that volume. How long do you wash for?

Well the rice cooker holds 5 cups with I think is almost 1000ml.
I only wash for 3-4 min.
Should I wash longer?
If u get 2g on 350ml and I get about 5 on 1000 I think that’s pretty close.
Let me know .
Never any offence taken here. Love the feedback. I wouldn’t be this far without people like you guys here on RIU :clap:

No prob, I think you are doing everything well, I just thought that the rice cooker held way more. Feedback is awesome. I too have learned tons of good info here at RIU.
 
500 mls/oz is what is needed to wash 80% of the meds in 3 mins or less
at frozen temps of course!

Makes a huge difference if you add heat or perc it like a coffee maker (:

I concur on the freezing. I always get better results that way, and it breaks down much better. When it is not frozen I wash for 5 minutes.
 
when its not frozen you can wash it less time with less IPA
only reason needed for so much solvent is to saturate the solution at freezing.
as temps increase so does the saturation point
when its warm it saturates more into solution in less time.
