Extracting used vape carts using ethanol

Check out my vape store: cartandpod.com
I don't recommend you actually do this, this is just an experiment for fun.
I go through a lot of Carts and pods, as you can see here.
I'll be showing you another method on how to salvage the extra oil out of your used Carts, pods, and containers.
The first step is to get some isopropyl alcohol and clean the outsides of each pod and cartridge to make sure there are no contaminants or bacteria.
Here I have my lovely assistant cleaning each of them and tossing them into a beaker, be sure to remove any bits of silicone or plastic.
Once all the pods and containers are wiped off and cleaned, high-proof alcohol was poured into each container to sit for a bit.
I then poured some high-proof alcohol into the beaker.
For each of the jars that had some concentrate really stuck to them, I gave them a quick scratching with a glass stir rod before pouring them into the beaker as well.
I then used the rod to stir the contents of the beaker, then put it on a hotplate at a low heat to help the alcohol dissolve all the thc it can.
After stirring and heating for about 10 minutes I strained the liquid through a coffee filter.
I then poured the solution into a larger flask to begin boiling it off.
This took quite some time to accomplish. I could have collected the vapors but my water pump was broken so I had to let them just go into the fume hood. Be extremely careful whenever you are evaporating alcohol such as this as the vapors are highly combustible and may explode if not properly ventilated.
Please don't try doing anything with explosive vapors such as this unless you are aware of the dangers and have appropriate safety gear.
As the alcohol content lowers are the water content rises, you can see some THC starting to separate out of the solution entirely. It also started to get pretty cloudy, this is due to the high water content compared to alcohol content.
I transferred to a beaker at this point as I wanted to ensure ease of collection once it started to boil down to a concentrate.
I took some extra alcohol and swished it around in the flask to get all of the concentrates. As I pour it back in you can see that the white cloudiness disappears as the alcohol content rises compared to the water content.
I proceeded to finish boiling off the rest of the alcohol in the beaker until there was about 20ml or so left.
I then poured what remained into a small glass jar, and set up a little rig so I could use a heat gun to remove the concentrate that was stuck to the beaker.
I poured some alcohol into the beaker and scratched at it with a stir rod to ensure I collected everything into the glass jar.
I placed the jar onto a hotplate and let it stir for a bit at low heat, before letting it settle for a while so I could remove the water with a syringe.
The water is cloudy because of the ouzo effect, when you add water to alcohol certain oils are no longer soluble, and they come out of the solution in the form of microdroplets that make the solution look cloudy like this.
One of the most important steps when dealing with concentrates and solvents is to ensure you do a proper vacuum purge. Here I am using a vacuum pump I made in a previous video along with some rubber adapters to use the jar itself as a small vacuum chamber. This allows me to heat the concentrate more easily and also ensures a more effective vacuum as there is less total volume, but using a regular vacuum chamber would be fine.
After that I was left with nice clear amber oil, I poured it out onto parchment paper and used a heat gun to get it all out of the jar. After letting it cool down, and it became a nice shatter consistency.

I’ve done this and recovered multiple grams of good quality and full spectrum extract. I think the key points from my experience is to use a high purity solvent, do a pre-wash of unopened carts to remove anything undesirable that also dissolves in said solvent, and to run your extract through a filter before concentrating it.

[@MysticDonBlair]

You can use isopropyl alcohol for this method. It’s only dangerous to drink, because your liver can’t process it the same as ethanol.

[@Doobie603]

You are definitely right on that one I've been making good shatter with isopropyl in mason jars for years.

*Beezytrips*

[@NeilCrouse99]

I know you shouldn't, but 99.9% rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol was pretty much the standard for making a cheap low-grade green oil. The bikers in Canada would do this back in the late 70's through to the 90's. I'm sure for centuries before that they used some sort of liquid to breakdown the oils and waxes then evaporate the liquid leaving all that THC Yumminess... lol.

[@solvated_photon]

I use 100% isopropyl alcohol which seems to be a bit faster at dissolving thicker oils in my experience. A critical thing I always do though is that I pre rinse all of my carts with it before opening them up to dissolve the contents. This pre-wash reduces the carry over of contamination from the outside of the cartridges which can include skin oils, trapped dust, and other stuff you might not want to be vaping.

It might have ethyl acetate and hexane - I know the initial extraction was done with ETOH and the final washes were done with hexane, but there was a third/intermediary component. According to the poster, it actually dabbed quite nicely, though it was almost entirely flavorless. I think he ended up making edibles out of it.

[@TheLazyass111]

Top shit boss, got like 20 lbs of glass containers to process lol

[@christianfoster3806]

Quick tip. Glass dab containers: put them on a toaster oven rack so they're tilted, and roast them to get all the stuff in the corner on the bottom. Glass vape carts: heat it gently with your dab torch, just enough to melt the leftover residue on the sides down to the bottom. I thought about doing what you're talking about, but its too labor and time intensive to be a worthwhile endeavour. My method isnt as thorough, but far less time consuming, and you get most of the product available. Theres a certain point where getting that last nano my gram of delta9 just aint worth it, and fussing about it is not a healthy thing.

[@lepews8308]

great vid!! def got some ideas from this to improve my processes! :D also if you have a vac oven you can do it in a way doesnt winterize the product by getting everything pretty cold (to avoid shock to the glass) and use butane as the solvent (i prefer to offload it first into a cold jar from the cans and stop slightly before its empty to minimize mystery oil) follow a similar process to your minus the hotplates and stuff just let it air purge till its to a point it can go into the vac oven. ( also its super obvious and shouldnt even need to be mentioned but sadly does xD do that shit outside hahah

Wonder what types of metals would show up if you lab tested that. After a lot of it was sitting in cartridges for a long time. Seems sketchy. Empty glass containers maybe worth it...but I would pass on the cartridges.

Fun Fact: While I'm sure you shouldn't use Isopropyl alcohol for this, RSO is made with isopropyl alcohol and can be used to make edibles

RSO should not be made using isopropyl alcohol, there are no benefits only unhealthy side effects. Everclear/grain alcohol is super cheap, safer and very effective. Have a great day

Please don't soak carts in solvent... yes you dissolve the concentrate, but you're also picking up solder and other metallic compounds from the atomizer assembly. At the very least test your reclaimed material - you don't want lead, arsenic or mercury in your inhalables 🤦

[@SpasPlay]

Your extraction could be even better Do two or more rinses with analytical grade ethanol instead of heating the beaker with all the glass containers - heating the beaker at this step only concentrates the solution and ends up lowering your yield This could compensate for not being able to collect the ethanol vapours during evaporation as the only point in doing this would be increasing yield (ethanol has a much lower boiling point than thc oil so all you would be collecting are the small amounts of oil dragged by the evaporation process) The vacuum purge was a great step but you could have done it without removing the water first (again for more yield). Using high purity analytical grade ethanol would also make this much faster. This would ensure you are not losing any micro droplets of oil in the water. Alternatively you could "wash" the water with high purity ethanol and evaporate again but that would be a little more time consuming. Great stuff

[@CartandPod]

I was not concerned with yield here just messing about for fun lol, but yes all good advice

[@chadsheldon8647]

[@spicec0rp]

You really went above and beyond to get some smoke

[@jeremyxx11]

There might be quicker ways to do this but this method retains nearly 100% of the desired material without wasting any. Although It does take some time and the proper equipment not to mention the know-how. The purge is crucial for removing all the harmful chemicals.
