I quit the iso because of the cost, smell and hassle when buying it. When I'm getting ready to make the hash I get methyl hydrate. It comes in six, one gallon jugs to a box. It is 99.99% pure alcohol.

cost smell and hassle?

do you not understand the solvent is chosen due to polarity differences? methanol being more polar than ethanol and near "twice" iso on a classic polarity index. this makes for a dirtier extract. great for winterizing though assuming you take necessary precautions.

if you breath in the equivalent of half a tbsp of your solvent youll go permanently blind.
soooo, yea. much better smell?
lol
obviously doing this repeatedly requires much lower levels


notice iso is not really nasty at all by comparison..
