I just made som QWISO using isoproprylalcohol and I love the color -brown.
It´s still needs to evaporate some but it stinks of naphtalin.Why? Nothing is added, it´s pure ISO. Should I redisolve with ethanol? Doesn´t Iso brake down to carbondioxide and water?
My side is that in Finland we have no good quality ISO(there is some dirt on it)
Thats why i havent try it myself, but i have seen it failing many times.
The iso should be pure, no mention on the bottle of any additives. The smell is sort of like gasoline/nafta but iso also doesn´t smell like ethanol. It´s pretty much evaporated now and it´s looking good...I guess it won´t kill me eh?

Lovely comment!
It´s pretty much evapurated now, I wonder if I should just let it dry out? I was hoping on some "goo" to brush on my joints but I guess I can redissolve it in ethanol later on.
Hi, This should be 99% so I´m on the right track -I hope. I had it on the radiator awhile and not much liguid left, dark brown color, looks like chocolate!
I guess I´ll give it a rip tomorrow...could you speak a bit lowder please
I ended up drying the last moisture out in the oven at 150C but with the door open. It bublled out nicely and left som dark brown/red "oil". I then popped it in the freezer and this morning I scraped it a bit andit peeled of nicely even though it still is a bit soft even after the freezer -it´s back inthere now "freeze drying". The smell still isn´t clearly cannabis and I´m starting to wonder if the smell could also be affected by the strain, I used Thyphoon from an outdoor grow, good quality, and I used maybe 30gr that I ground up and let the iso cover it plus about 2cm extra.
Whatever is left in it should be smokeable.
More thoughts?
The only time my ISO has ever turned out good is when I used it to clean my grinder and vaporizer. Whenever more plant material has been involved it has turned out to taste and smell really horrible. I have only used trim and/or fans though. Haven't had the heart to use buds.
Doing the whole process really fast is supposed to produce good quality (hence the "quick" in quick wash iso). I've tried to be fast but I guess I just haven't succeeded in being fast enough. Since you mention that you somehow submerged the buds in alcohol I have a feeling the same may be true with you (my methods have been similar). If you still have some material to work with you might want to try putting it in some kind of tube and having the alcohol just quickly run through it, this may improve quality.
But you know, there is a reason why all the "errl heads" use butane despite it being hella-expensive and hella-dangerous. ISO sucks.
Errl head? Now where have I heard that?
After heating, freezing, drying and one last freezeing I still have a tarlike substance -except itś like darkbrown. The smell of the goop is still of petrol or something and the ISO I used (whatś left of it) still smells of ISO. Weird.
