So the material collected on the side is actually of higher potency than what you are smoking! Now there are a few caveats regarding the return phase changes of the molecules of interest, but that's fairly detailed and likely of no consequence.
The other thing... we believe that the resin is different before and after the water. Our thoughts are that the pre water reclaim oil is already heat activated. The post we think converts back to the prior molecular configuration, that still will require heat activation before it'll be absorbable by the body.
Pic is of reclaim... golden is post water, black is pre water, metal dish is a conglomerate formed by heating the rig to drizzle it out.
Reclaiming 20% here...
O yeah, if you need to use chemicals... buy acetone! Butthe fancy stuff! 99.9% pure should be your minimum accepted! Pour some of whatever solvent you choose in a puddle 3 inches in diameter. Let it evaporate, then use a razor blade to scrape up the former puddle - if you see anything at all, it's not usable!
Anyone can form a business, just spend $100 - Google how, very easy. Do this, then buy GOOD acetone from a supplier on the Internet. .. You'll be healthier for it!
Taste is a factor, but the better the product you smoke, the better the resin.
Don't smoke flower at all in same piece! Absolutely RUINS potency!
