Some questions about - Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)

I should have said the EC was in the freezer, and nice and cold
And yes I understand I used trash to experiment with, and will not get the best results, but I want to make the mistakes with trash rather than the pretty buds I like to smoke.
IF I do this again I will make changes, like not using the fan leafs,,
 
I like these machines, but I dont like the price,,,
With the different metods, here is my question, how much do you think is left behind to be discarded? And do tell your choice of solvents as I see what solvent is going to make a difference in production.
Also butane, can you get pure butane without mercaptan in it?
 
quirk Preeeee cisely. I didn't understand how important it is to filter, filter, re-filter and re-re-filter in order to get a honey-like oil that I can "cure" on a silicone pad. I really want to be able to make a good vapeable concentrate.
 
Rwise I've tried various times to make a good tincture from trim, and it's never anywhere near as good as the bud tincture. So I've decided to stick with dry ice hash for the trim.
 
I'm very happy with my results using 190 proof Everclear. I just have to filter my tincture some more to get a really pure extraction.
 
As I see it.... According to those articles... I only feel the safest using Everclear. Naptha? Whoa.... At least the Everclear despite it potential toxicity, can be used as a "beverage" but the other chemicals are toxic at almost any level. If I had to travel a few hours to buy a big supply of 190 Everclear, I think Id rather do it. " breaker breaker Come in Bandit"
 
IF you can smell it, it has mercaptan in it, google mercaptan MSDS sheet! This will show you my concern with mercaptan. This would not be allowed here (everything must be medial grade) to be sold, not that I will be selling what I produce, but I do want to keep it clean!
 
I tend to agree, I just dont know how safe some of those are, or what bad additives they have added to them for smell, like mercaptan which is certainly harmful! I may look at at chemistry supply to see if 100% grain alcohol is available
 
Last time I checked....25 yrs ago, only to labs and institutions... but then, California was like everybody else< outlawed! Good luck
 
I have to agree - the idea of using Naptha does not inspire me as optimal or safer. The article by Rick Simpson might have been written quite a few years ago - I don't know that. Finding a source for 100% grain alcohol would be ideal but not likely for me. A trip out of state could result in some 190 proof EverClear. Might be my best option.
