I have these two liquids at my disposal for a cocaine alcohol wash/recrystallization. Where I live, obtaining Everclear 190 is not an option. So it comes down to 99% IPA vs. 75.5% ABV grain alcohol. Which do I use?

My immediate instinct is to go to the 99% alcohol, and I have seen TEKs on cocaine washes using IPA. However, I have also read my fair share of warnings about not using this method, as IPA is not intended for human consumption. Any opinions? Any success stories/tips from those who have performed a cocaine wash with IPA?

And please note, I am not interested in performing an acetone wash on this batch. Thanks.
 
If the iso has a percentage of water, that water will take away your product as well. To preserve the product, I would go with an anhydrous solvent (I believe acetone is preferred). That should remove a lion's portion of cut material while leaving the maximum amount of product.
 
Just to be clear, I purify cocaine on a daily basis, just not through a solvent technique.
