Does anybody know if it is possible to refine iso hash oil into a more pure oil, maybe like a honey oil?
Thanks guys.

I suspect the link is probably not welcome by TOU,I googled absolute amber. You dirty devil. You know I like the big booty. Mighty nice of you, but I'm talkin about hash oil:D
You got a link to that site?
Waxes are the useless part.Are the waxes the good part?
GW--Have u considered using a drying agent like magnesium sulfate or calciumn chloride to remove water? Doing this would allow you to do one water wash, you'd maybe see a better yield. The water washes do affect yield, as the cannabinoids are not completely water-insoluble.
Let me know if ur ever in the market to hire a chemist :) You've really done your homework.
Graywolf....I was wondering about a RO housing and cartridge to run my winterized bho though.
I took the BHO and mixed it with Iso...and put it in the freezer.
As I have an extra RO housing and 1 micron filter....what do you think of the cleansing rate if I ran it through that? I do have a vacuum pump that I can pull a slight vacuum. But as the vessel is designed to withstand municipal water pressure...probably best to increase the pressure on the other end.
As I am always delighted with your insights into the extraction processes, any thoughts on this would be appreciated. If it works to any extent I will post pics in a week or so. -BB
Im surprised this hasnt been mentioned, and if it has i passed right over and i apologize!!!
But due to iso being a polar solvent, it obviously has the ability to dissolve the polar compounds...
So they will be in the final oil, regardless of the quality of the filtration, some will have already dissolved into the solution and will pass right on through.
Now the trick with oils made from polar solvents, is if they are redissolved into a non polar solvent, only the non polar compounds will dissolve, while the polar compounds will remain suspended, but not dissolved into the new solvent.
Then, if you take, or make something like a separatory funnel, and pour in the new solent mix, and pour in water, and shake. The water will then pull out the polar compounds from the solvent. Then you let the solution separate (the water will "settle" at the bottom, where the drain valve is) then you drain out the water until it is just the solvent mixture left, and repeat until the water is clean after shaking.
Then purge the solvent (i prefer to use hexane for this, as its non-polar and easily kept as a liquid, while also being easily purged) and what you have is a nice refined clean oil!!!!!
Try:
For how I typically do that.
Yes I've tried that method, well not the full method... but parts of it haha. However I am close enough to a science supply co with cheap hexane, and I have a separatory funnel already as it is. This process takes all of 10 minutes when done correctly, and it will remove the water soluble compounds no questions asked!
Though hexane usually isn't cheap or easily accessed by people, so I would understand why no one does this
But I like to keep it more simple for the water wash, and I don't mind the excess waxes so I don't bother processing them out haha. Your process is quite extreme though
