Where in the USA does one purchase 200 proof alcohol (that's relatively cheap) which is fit for consumption?
It might be worth considering purchasing some distilling equipment if you think that you will need the alcohol regularly. However such high proof alcohol would take multiple distilling most likely as I do not think you could get the alcohol content that high with one distill. It does mean additional time and expense so you would have to consider whether it will be worth it.
Can anyone make any recommendations on what features are most useful in an Ultrasonic cleaner? Unfortunately the qualityliposomalc site does not give any tips on choosing one. The Elmasonic p60h is a very nice machine but very expensive and I could not spend that much. The multiple frequency would be useful as I would also like to use the Ultrasonic cleaner for it's intended purpose ie cleaning. Adjustable power, degass, sweep etc. Which are most useful when making liposomal vitamin c? I did see Chris' post earlier in this thread which did provide some information but did not really help narrow it down. The problem is that cheaper Ultrasonic cleaners have various features but not all of them in one model. You can get ones which have variable power and heating but no degas, sweep, pulse or multiple frequency. It is possible to buy cleaners with degas, single frequency, variable heating but without mutiple frequency or power. Therefore it seems a case of choosing either variable power OR degas. The question is which features are best to favour? Is the maximum ultrasonic power the most important feature?
http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42943#p42943ATM the following seems to offer the best for what I can afford, the VGT 1860QTS model is the one that offers the most features, degas, soft function, 1-99 minute timer, 0-80C temperature but only 150Watt ultrasonic power:
http://www.gtsonic.net/en/products/gt-sonic-qts-series-smart-ultrasonic-cleaners.htmlI have a limit of about £200 to spend and the above is available for £170. That is a lot short of the cost of the Elmasonic p60h which is around £1000.
I am sure that this would be helpful to many people or at least be helpful in narrowing down the options.
