Its a ghetto absolute, I used 91% qwiso instead of everclear since my state doesnt sell it.

Its a ghetto absolute, I used 91% qwiso instead of everclear since my state doesnt sell it.
Static shock - I've never seen or had an absolute amber come out waxy looking and not see threw. Was this winterized?
I myself never got waxy absolute, but I remember medicalgreen's description of the experience of 151 proof ethanolIts a ghetto absolute, I used 91% qwiso instead of everclear since my state doesnt sell it.
And no my qwiso was cold as shit but I didn't winterize technically.
I imagine the added water content brought me the waxyness.
But thats only a speculation.
static shock ,Hey Jump,
I have some response and more questions for you.
I tried dissolving that wax mass, by heating my alcohol, in a double boiler situation. I took the outer water to 140 degrees F. That brought the inner alcohol to a boil almost. I left it like that for about 45 minutes. I re-filtered it, and got almost 1 more gram from that mass. The shatter was slightly sticky, but i'm sure it'll harden up in time. Then I took that mass, and placed it onto a warm pyrex and it melted JUST LIKE WAX!
There was nothing left in it, that looked even slightly recoverable. The whole mass never dissolved in the warmed alcohol. It seems like no matter what I do, I cannot dissolve it. BUT, on the good side, i'm beginning to think this may be better, anyways. What's the point of dissolving something that will eventually be separated anyways? So, in other words, what i'm thinking here, is that it's GOOD that the 151 does not completely dissolve the waxes and fats and lipids. Less work in the long run, it would appear.
I think I was right, for the most part, that it is indeed BHO Poop. looks like a turd to me. Melts exactly like a wax would, too. The only thing I have left to do, I think, is to try smoking it, with no other herb or oil, in the beginning of the day, and see how it affects me.
here are the pics I took of it in the filter, then dropped out of the filter.
BHO Wax Turd
I myself never got waxy absolute, but I remember medicalgreen's description of the experience of 151 proof ethanol
which made on me such a strong impression that I have many times cited it as an example,
claiming that not enough strong alcohol is not working for Absolute, or not working properly.

Your sample certainly looks much more attractive.

Please answer, in the cooking process you also get the pulp instead of the solution?
When and how the extract has acquired the consistency of wax?
Throw some taters under the bed
Nope. And when I make QWISO.
I almost always get a waxy consistency.
I believe the pocket cure I do when my oil changes my sap to more of a wax or budder.
left it in my pocket on a piece of parchement paper for 72 hours after my heat purge.
Were you using 91% iso each time that it turned waxy, or have you used stronger iso and notice it turn waxy?
no i used 100% iso before and got waxy, budder without whipping
Did it turn waxy upon the heat purge or only after the pocket purge? If it was only after the pocket purge then it may be down to your movements repeatedly flexing the sample and causing micro-fissures. This would scatter the light and whiten the appearance of the oleoresin.
What made you think that it was down to the pocket purge before, if you say that it was waxy after doing the initial heat purge? Did you filter the alcohol solution after dissolving the BHO? If so, with what and did you notice any precipate in the alcohol or residue in the filter?
