Alcohol extraction you have to be just as careful with. Last time I made oil, I did it outside this time, but on a hotplate to evap. the alcohol. I let it sit on the hot plate a bit too long, it started boiling then blew up into a huge flame. It sucked balls I tell ya! I was outside I still managed to singe my eyelashes off.

Either way, if you're going to do it, do it outside for just in case. If it does combust, do not blow on the flames, that just angers it even more.
Nochowderforyou Reviewed by Nochowderforyou on . question about making hash-oil i know the method of making oil where you mix isopropol alcohol with bud and then boil it off to leave you with oil. is it possible to accomplish the same thing without using heat, but just allowing the alcohol to evaporate over a longer period of time?
