Here is a link to a journal I put together of my preferred method of making RSO. It also leads to other posts I have done as well as supplies and materials needed for making the RSO. Most of the information is already here on my Experience with RSO blog entry, but this journal entry may make it easier.

Cool man! Must add this to my blog, glad I found this information. If you are looking for a replacement SVD because you broke yours or something. Here is a kit that is less complete. Maybe you do not care for the iClear30 attachment. Well this may be the kit for you. For example: for e-cigarettes, I do not care for the iClear30 clearomizer because it seems that the metal tip takes away the sweet flavor. For e-cigarettes I prefer the iClear16. Those work just fine on the SVD too.
Just over $37.00 and free shipping world wide!

I will probably order one to have some spare parts around. When I have the extra coin.

I have never used this vaporizer nor do I know anyone who has, but supposedly this might be the best vaporizer of them all.

To me it looks pretty much the same as an SVD, but nicer. It does come with a warranty and it is made in USA. $212.95 and qualifies for free shipping too!
In most kits, the battery and charger are junk. With the ProVari the battery and charger seem to be of good quality.
If I had the extra money to waste, I would buy one to try it out. Looks pretty sweet.

I wish I would have added more information by now. I have really been stressed out and times have been tough lately. Seems like the world has gone mad, close friends and all.
I must push through this BS in my life and march forward.
Soon I will give some form of update on using QWISO hash. I may make it a little different than what is considered normal, but we will give it a go soon!
Just threw about 1/2 oz in the freezer. I will do my frozen extraction. Instead of putting it in a glass pan and let it air dry, I will put it in my RSO finishing cup with a little coffee cup warmer heat. We will see soon.
I have had other people report back that QWISO and BHO worked real well using the methods I describe above. I certainly want to try the QWISO myself. The QWISO is basically an iso extraction without decarbing. Whereas RSO is an iso wash then decarbed by cooking down in the rice cooker.
Here is a little tip: when I am using my vaporizer and it starts to get low, and I refill it once with fresh oil. After that, I continue to add just a couple drops at a time of the PG USP. The thicker chlorophyll crap doesn't evenly vaporize so it starts to build up. I like to refill any one of my units 1-3 times. After about three fills I like to clean the unit with 151 Everclear.
The amount of PG USP added is all personal preference and what type of vaporizing unit you are using. The more PG USP, the easier it vapes, but it gives less bud taste. The thicker the oil, the more it tastes just like the bud, if not better. Again, a personal preference.
I will be adding more soon...... I hope......

First, I would like to talk about the PG USP separating from the concentrate. If done correctly with high quality oil, not too hot, not too cold when mixing, they seem to not separate at all. However, I have found a few scenarios to where the do separate. A lower quality oil, the oil can still be high quality, but a bit higher in chlorophyll or other impurities, possibly even the strain. One batch I made that was stored in the clearomizers for well over a month, the lower quality batches separated and the RSO stuck to the wicks in the clearomizer. The very same oil stored in 4 mL glass vials did not noticeably separate. Now with my highest quality oil mixed with PG USP and stored in a clearomizer did not separate at all. Unfortunately for vaporizing, the more clear the oil is, the more enjoyable the vape is. It is unfortunate because it is inefficient to make a very clean clear oil. In my opinion, the convenience and quality far outweighs the petty inconveniences and difficulties.
In many cases, winterizing the oil may be the best choice when it comes to vaporizing oil. Winterizing is a way to clean out impurities, using a freezing process. I will talk more about winterizing in the future.
For now, lets get to what has been happening. I made a small amount of QWISO hash today. I did not do my best, just did an average job. Pretty much simulated making RSO without decarbing and evaporating the alcohol in the rice cooker, I skipped that process. I know you are supposed to put it in a glass casserole dish, but I did not. I just put it in a small metal measuring cup instead. I did put it on the coffee cup warmer with coins under the cup. I also had a fan blowing on the solvent to aid in the evaporation and keep it cool. It kept is so cool that there was no bubbling at all like you would see when making RSO. Otherwise, I pretty much used my RSO making techniques.
Here is a picture of the first stage. There is a lot of solvent compared to when I make RSO, that is why it looks so clear. This will only produce a small amount of oil or hash. 1-2 grams.
No bubbling what so ever. I evaporated it down 3/4 of the way. It was still very runny like water. I poured it out onto a plate and let it air dry with a fan blowing on it for about 8 hours or so. After it got thick like RSO, maybe a little thicker, I used a razor blade and scooped some up and sucked it up into a syringe, then put it back into the metal cup and gave it a little heat to melt evenly in the cup, then turned the heat off. I am going to let it dry for a day, maybe longer so it will kind of be like BHO shatter I suppose. Then I am going to reheat it, add some propylene glycol USP, mix it well, then pour it into one of my clearomizers and try it out. I will report back as to how a non decarbed oil works in the vaporizers that I have discussed previously.
I produced about 1.5 grams of QWISO. When the product in the pan is super hard, I will report back how it does in the vape.
I used a little over 1/4 oz of premium bud, probably less than 1/2 oz. Going by a visual estimate. They were some of my best Qush buds though, which typically produce the least amount of oil, but very good oil.
