Preparing the final step on my first extraction and want to recrystallize my white fluffies. I found a science supply store online and ordered reagent grade acetone and 99.9% pure reagent grade IPA. Any subjective difference between using one or the other?

Recrystallization is different from redissolving.
Acetone works perfectly, I don't see how IPA would do the job better. Altough I wonder if IPA would cause less color change, which actually isn't a big deal anyway...

If you want to recrystallize to clean it further or make large crystals, you should use naphtha or other solvents like heptane.

Naptha works great for re-x Lose Control, Free My Soul, Break Me Open, Make Me Whole."DMT kicked my balls off" - od3

I'm just interested in doing it to ensure that I don't have any naptha still trapped with my crystals... Mainly to clear my head so I'm not worried about it. Both IPA and Acetone have been recommended, I just wasn't sure if there was any difference between using one or the other since I'll have both at my disposal. :-/
