The magnesium sulfate will not release the water at the temperatures required to boil alcohol. It takes a lot of heat to make the magnesium sulfate release the water it absorbed, which is the reason you bake it in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

What kind of heat source do you have? Also in my previous post I meant to say "if your having trouble keeping it from waxing up"

I've always been able to achieve shatter when my temps are around 110 at full vac. But if your having real trouble getting it to wax up, maybe it's just the strain you've been workin with. I think some strains just produce more cutin and when you extract you will pickup more lipids, causing your...

Well by that I mean place mgso4 and alcohol in the boiling flask and distill as is. The drying agent sits in the same flask as the alcohol and boils off until only the powder is left in the flask. I apologize for not being a little clearer :) Edit: When I said "instead of attempting to pass it...

Of course I can elaborate. Distilling the alcohol off would remove the water and separate the magnesium sulfate at the same time. The reason I didn't go into detail with the distillation is because I don't think OP owns a distillation setup so I was trying to explain alternatives. Just mixing...

The drying agent is called Magnesium Sulfate. I think it may be a little inaccurate to say that it's not simple and straightforward to use this drying agent. What you do is take your baked Epsom salt and grind it into a fine powder, the powder is added to your solution. The mixture will need to...

I've been looking at these ceramic nails, I'm probably gonna buy one of these, I'm getting tired of my Ti nail. http://www.hiveceramics.com/hive-ceramic-products/

Yea this would work great, but like snaps said you would have to distill the butane because you want to separate the particles of carbon from the butane afterwards.

As Doer said in another thread, making co2 into a supercritical state is not a DIY effort. That would likely be very dangerous to make a homemade pressure vessel, because what if that shit exploded. There is no problem with butane as long as it's clean and not from a lighter fluid can. Butane...

If anything precipitates from the solution you can filter it off just like normal but it won't be as effective at dropping the waxes as if you were to use a more polar solvent.

Maybe try a quick wash on a small amount of material and see if any chlorophyll is picked up. If no chlorophyll is picked up then I'm sure you could use it if your really in a pinch. Although the end product will have a lot of water in it considering an extraction takes a larger volume of...

I think most if not all vape pens are meant for oils or waxes. Maybe you could turn your ice wax into a rosin so it's easier to smoke out of a standard vape pen. I think the problem with smoking bubble hash inside a vape pen is that the coil doesn't heat up enough to combust the plant material...

You could run the butane into a column of activated carbon and then pump off the solvent to remove anything that may have been picked up.

I'll be removing the water from the alcohol with magnesium sulfate prior to evaporation.

I figure, I've got the material right now, so why not bongsmilie Edit: this is just a theory, I've never tried to use 70% alcohol, not for extraction and not for winterization so we'll see how it turns out haha

That method won't remove chlorophyll, it will however remove more of the non polar waxes. These added steps really do not take much 1. Use 70% alcohol (Or make it yourself.) 2. An additional filtering step is needed. But if you have any syringe filters or a Büchner funnel, these extra steps are...

The water can be removed prior to evaporation by adding a drying agent to the mixture which is later filtered using coffee filters or syringe filters. There's no water in the end product, but I see why you would want to use the typical method and that's because it's easier to just use alcohol as...

Idk it stands to reason that if the solvent is more polar more waxes would drop out when the solution is chilled.

Oops I meant to say, the sugars would not be left in the alcohol after distillation. I can see maybe if you bought alcohol meant for drinking, that's the reason I don't buy any brands of alcohol such as everclear or grave's and I just buy the chemical itself in larger quantities for cheaper and...
