Thought I would add that I didn't do the pour through this time. So its not exactly the same method.
I have done 2 quick 20 second washes, strained and then sent through an unbleached No4 coffee filter.
Looking pretty golden to me.
I've had the herb and ISO in the deep freeze since Sunday.

Hey guys just wanted to update.
Total make time around 3 hours start to finish.
Major mistake on my part was to not transfer the last 100ml of solution to a larger dish of some sort as it was hellish to try and scrape the beaker.
I managed to salvage 0.3g from the beaker.
Added 3ml of PG to the dish and warmed up in a double boil scenario.
Wish me luck.

Good Afternoon Everyone,
As a new user, I want to give you a little background on myself:
I have probably made 10 batches of QWISO, so on to my questions:
Cheers,

As a new user, I want to give you a little background on myself:
I have been lurking these forums for about a year. I want to thank everyone for their information they have provided, mainly qwizoking.
I'm a daily smoker since 2000, from Washington DC. I lived in California for 4 years (with my medical card), and am now I am back on the east coast.
I have earned a BS in Environmental Science, with a minor in Chemistry and a minor in Biology. Lots of college level chemistry.
I am a professional Industrial Hygienist and Safety Specialist. In the past I have worked as an environmental chemist, analyzing soil, water, and air samples. I am new to concentrates as of this year. I enjoy making and smoking them, after work of course. And thanks to these forums, I have started creating my own QWISO.

I have probably made 10 batches of QWISO, so on to my questions:
1) According to some methods (Bongrip), the filtered material is saved, and he calls this "moon dust". I tried capping some hits with it and it did not seem to take me to the moon. Is the product actually worth saving or is it junk?
2) Is it necessary to further heat purge the product once it was evaporated and scrapped? I saw someone's method, where they scrapped it up and put it on parchment, then baked in the oven to further purge the ISO. I tried this, and it seemed to be much drier, darker, and crispier after the "purging".

1- no the "moon dust" is not worth saving and smoking, it should be nothing more then waste material.
2- As long as the oil is completely dried before scraping it, no further heat purge should be necessary.

Thanks Thundercat for the answers.
I have another question regarding the purge and a no scrape collection method. I read on another forum that it is possible to purge the iso on a piece of parchment lining a bowl. Then once it's fully purged, fold the parchment on itself, therefore cutting out the scraping.
Is this possible? Can/will the parchment stand up to the iso without degrading?

You can evap your alcohol on parchment but it works much faster if you fold the parchment in such a way that it has a border on all 4 sides, that way your parchment paper is flat but can still hold your alcohol.

I've never tried evaping on parchment, but I've got some c grade solution for edibles that I'll try it with in a couple days. If it works, it should cut down on work. It seems to me like the parchment would get saturated though.

grab some ptfe sheets.. off ebay.. works better.. but some people bitch kuz its super sticky compared to those non stick mats.. but if you toss it into the freezer for a few seconds pull out and fold to get into a single piece.. and keep doign that.. its a way to not waste anything in your pyrexs.. just gotta be quick with it .

PTFE film works slick for this step and what we use.
We use foil backed parchment trays for final purging, after all the visible alcohol is gone.

Thank you for all of the input. I appreciate the responses. This is a very experienced and helpful group. I have read lots of graywolf and skunkpharm, also very noteworthy.
I usually keep the batches small (10g), is there an ideal batch size? Does the amount of material affect the percentage of return?
What method of storage do you prefer? I keep my A batch in the freezer on parchment, as I prefer to keep it solid and protected from light. I was not impressed with the dabwizard silicone ball. How long is the shelf life?
