Default heating alcohol

hey guys
i was wondering what a good method to heat alcohol up to just below it's boiling point on my kitchen stove. any suggestions? my biggest concern is the vapor. would my stove fan be good enough? if not what sort of precautions should i take to make sure i don't blow up? my stove isn't a gas stove btw.

err, why are you using alcohol? DCM is better, and either way if i was in your shoes i would:

-Leave it to evaporate
-Freeze it out (this one is the best IMO)

Its simple, there are tiny of little elfs in there (mechanical elfs) that when you cool it down they join there arms all together to stay warm, hence the crystal formation. But because they have no close and there skin is soluble in DCM/Toluene you can't see them! Hence why when you smoke DMT and brake throught hard, very hard and think about those elfs you will understand.

If by alcohol you mean ethanol (which I hope you do)

just have open windows and a large enough surface area.


Ethanol is not that bad to deal with, just monitor all the time.

as long as you're not using a gas stove and open a vent/fan then you will be fine. You don't have to turn the heat up to boil alcohol just put it on low and it will boil. you could use a glass top or cover over it so that the vapors will dry against the lid leaving no room for error to blow up.
