Hey RIU I was just wondering, normally after I am done blasting through my material-I would immediately discard the after blasted material. Anyways I read somehwere that people save the material and then use ISO to wash the sprayed material again, get even more dabbable goodness! Is this true? What is the return? Quality?
Well, I don't do blasting or make BHO, but there could be some value to the remaining product. I prefer to use iso and grain alcohol.
A lot of people talk about turpines and all, even adding it back into the initial extraction. I am not to familiar with all that, but I have used my waste material, after extracting and re-extracted but this time I extracted out the water solubles using the waste material. That is considered red oil. Many people have spoken about the aroma in their oil. That kind of confuses me because all of the scent and aroma from my extractions are left behind in the red oil in the waste material. There is probably a lot of goodness in that red oil. I have never tried to do anything with the red oil. I have made several attempts now to having tests done. However, I am facing two hurdles, the testing is not available in my area and it is very far away and the cost is outrageous. Also, the testing is not all that great and does not test for many of the elements I would like to see. Keep in mind, the aroma is in the water soluble red oil, to where in the oil soluble concentrated cannabis, that contains the falvanoids. So you get all the good taste when you vape it or whatnot.
Here is a pic of the red oil. Still with water frozen in a shot glass and of the final purged material. Took the pictures and then threw it out.
I had to let my waste material dry for a week to where there was no alcohol left in it what so ever, then extracted with cold water. I wish I knew more about the red oil.
Just thought I'd share this information once again. Maybe somebody out there will be able to go a few steps further than I have been able to with it.
