So, I made some QWISO with the 190 Everclear. I am not ready to give a full opinion of it since I only used one strain, typically I use multiple strains when I make oil. This would be my second QWISO run and the first time using grain alcohol.

I did a couple of things different. For now I will say it came out good. I used my darkest oil producing strain, least desire for vaping purposes or looks, the strain I used was Blueberry Jam. The oil came out pretty clear. I did a triple wash extraction. It has a lot of flavor. I am not entirely sure why yet.

As for winterizing iso oil, using grain alcohol is better than winterizing compared to using iso to winterize. I used the exact same oil, exact everything except for iso vs. 190 everclear for winterizing. Winterizing with the 190 everclear made the oil more clear. Again, this was done with an iso extracted oil.

For now on, winterizing or not, I am going to dilute the finished RSO with 190 proof or higher grain alcohol, gently purge it, so I know for sure there is no iso whatsoever in the finished product.

Using grain alcohol to make the QWISO, it was noticeable towards the end of the evaporation that there was more water in it. You could see the water separate from the oil towards the end. The water was like a white foam. It takes longer to evaporate with the everclear and that can be inconvenient.

Making the oil using the RSO method, there would be no need to add water towards the end of the rice cooker stage since the everclear contains 5% water which evaporates last.

The oil seemed finished at a certain point and there was still watery crap left over. I was frustrated so I added more 190 everclear to dilute it and put it in my RSO purge pan. I used some heat, but I also left a fan blowing on it which seriously reduced the temperature. I don't know if this added flavor by decarbing some flavinoids, from using the everclear, or just the fact that I used Blueberry Jam. Either way, the product seems to be a success for vaporizing. For vaping with my SVD, the pictures with the iClear30 attachment, I will take that over smoking joints any day! All I did is warm the oil up a bit, added PG USP, sucked it up into a syringe, then injected it into my iClear30. Top notch, it may be the best yet. Very impressive. I will be ordering more 190 everclear, even though the Wine Chateau is now not selling it, I have patience.

I made the oil with the Bluebery Jam buds pictured in my previous comment.

I do not regret using a couple of ounces of my best buds of Blueberry Jam to make QWISO style hash for the purpose of making e-cannabis oil. It was well worth it. I ended up with about 8 grams of oil. I am only guessing it was two ounces of buds, I did not weigh it so that is my best guess.

Back to the winterizing.

I didn't lose as much in the process as I thought because I let it dry more than usual to where it is a bit more concentrated, more potent.

Exact same oil. exact same procedure, they were both originally extracted with iso then re-diluted and winterized, then purged.

Here is a picture showing the difference between winterizing with iso and 190 proof grain alcohol. There is no light behind the syringes so it appears that the oil is darker than what it is. The syringe on the bottom was winterized with the 190 proof grain alcohol. Winterizing iso oil is best done using 190 proof grain alcohol, like it is mentioned at SkunkPharms from a concentrate that was initially made with 99% isopropyl alcohol.

With a really clean starting material like I have, winterizing really is not necessary. With a more dirty, darker oil, it probably is more worthwhile. When I get the opportunity, I will have to give it a try.

Next time I do a triple rinse, I will keep that separate from the first two. The third rinse is the most dirty. Then I will winterize it. I believe it will be worth it.

With my favorite vaporizer, here is my preference. With my SVD I like to keep the voltage set at 4.8 volts permanently. The power or watts, I will increase or decrease that setting to accommodate my vaporizing needs. For some reason, I just like it set at 4.8 volts the best. For all around use, 4.8 volts seems to be the best setting.

I just tried out a new place to order my accessories from, they don't have everything I use, but for the most part, have what I do need. The prices are much better than other places, about 20% less expensive to sometimes 60% less. Free shipping and no tax, downside is it could take up to 30 days to receive the order. I just placed a good size order. I will report back on this new companies ability to supply. Now that I can order replacement heating coils for the SVD, a 5 pack for $6, I think every time I need to refill, I will clean it and just put in a new heating element. For a little over $1, may as well since a refill is more than $100 worth of oil.

I do like to check that my heating coils work before filling the clearomizer with oil. I will explain how I check the heating coils in the future.

I get a lot of people messaging me and see a lot of posts on many forums about using vegetable glycerine (VG) for vaporizing. Using VG with cannabis oil does not work well and I do not recommend it whatsoever. I have been able to fine tune my equipment and oils to where I cannot imagine it being any better than top notch oil with PG USP.

Let me throw that PG USP link up again. Many will purchase what they believe to be 100% PG USP, but there is also VG mixed in it, which is not uncommon in the e-cigarette world.

This is the only product you need to add to your concentrate to work in an e-cigarette. Minimal heat and mix well. You may want to warm and mix a couple of times to be sure it infused properly.
