I have heard over the years of people cleaning up hash oil preparations in various ways, such as winterizing, or even mixing the solvent with activated charcoal. I am curious as to how effective activated charcoal is at cleaning up an extract.
I have heard that if you dissolve some black, gross looking dabs that are heavy in chlorophyll contamination due to using alcohol as a solvent back into some alcohol, add activated charcoal, shake, and filter, that the charcoal will remove the contaminants from the alcohol. The resulting solution is much clearer then it was originally, and upon evap the resulting oil is much lighter and amber colored.
Like I said, I have only heard about this being done. I have also heard of it being done with reclaim in order to clean it up and make it look and taste better. Obviously it won't make it shatter up, due to being decarbed, but if it's cleaner and tastes better that's still a plus. Whenever I search around the Internet though I can't seem to find much info on the subject, and can not find anything showing before and after products. So I come to you, wonderful Nexus community.
Have any of you had experience in using activated charcoal to clean up hash oil?
I cleaned out 3 totally clogged rigs with acetone, and evaporated it in a dish. I am going to scrape all this up and dissolve into alcohol, in order to filter it and get anything unsoluable out. If this charcoal thing really works, at this point id like to try that and see if it makes a lighter, tastier oil. I don't want to do anything that might waste all this useful reclaim though!
