Evaporating alchohal
    #4835897 -

I have soaked a few of my pipes in rubbing alchohal to get some resin and Ive had the resiny alchohal sitting under a lamp. Is there anyway I can get the evaporation to speed up so that I can smoke some of it in the next hour or two or will it take a while.

Put a fan right next to it, and incrase the temperature...you could try using a hotplate or something if you have it. DO NOT use the stove though, since alcohol is very flammable.

Do this outside, if at all possible. If not, do it right in front of an open window, preferably with a fan blowing out the window. Alcohol vapor is very flammable.

Put the mix in a bowl or wide dish and aim a fan so it is blowing over the surface. If you have a hair dryer, it should work quite well from about 3 feet away (too close and it will blow the alcohol out of the dish and all over the place!). If you do use a hair dryer set it to COLD if possible, or if you MUST use heat use the LOWEST setting on the dryer. The more heat you involve, the closer you are to starting a fire.

Using just a hair dryer set on cold (no heat at all) it shouldn't take much more than 40-60 mins to evaporate a dish with a few hundred mL of alcohol. Using heat, even a small amount, should cut the time in half - but again if you have the time to spare do it the SAFER way without any heat.

Lots of people have died or burned themselves horribly while trying to evap a solvent - so BE CAREFUL! I don't mean to say that using heat in the process is overtly-dangerous...but if this is something you don't have much experience in or have never done before it's best to start as safely as possible.


That's going to taste pretty horrid, I suspect :smirk:

I've put it on the stove before. It was in a jar, and I put that in a pot, with a bit of water inside the pot (if I remember correctly).

The rubbing alcohol was boiling like mad... I had a kitchen fan on and the door open. I guess I'm ghetto like that... :smirk: turned out alright though.

Although it took a really long time since it was only 70% rubbing alcohol.
