Not a very good idea. While the first few batches of vodak you get are arguably better, you have to filter several times, and lose alcohol in the process due to evaporation, filter losses, etc. This burns out the filter surprisingly fast. We blasted through a $7 filter on one 1 Liter bottle of cheap vodak. You would be much better off buying top shelf.

Hacking is just using things in unexpected ways, enabled by a superior comprehension of the systems, their behaviors, and their attributes. More power to geeks in the kitchen!

Here's how to split an avacado:
1. Get a nice long knife (although practice will permit using a steak knife in the future).
2. Pick a point near the stem end of the avacado.
3. Lay the knife into the avacado and continue pressing the knife through the skin all the way down and then back up the other side of the avacado returning to the original place you entered the avacado.
4. With both hands on both halves of the avacado, twist.
5. Grab the knife and the half with the seed in it in your non-knife hand.
6. Send the middle of the knife blade into the avacado with as much momentum as is safe so that you get a nice satisfying CHOCK sound.
7. Again, with both hands, twist.
8. To get the seed off the knife safely, send the back of the blade askew of the edge of your sink or other hard container hitting the seed on the edge.
9. The slippery seed comes flying off the knife with no mess of trying to mix a sharp blade, a slippery avacado and your valuable fingers.
BONUS
If you want to get slices of your avacado into a salad without difficulty, draw several lengthwise lines into the avacado half with your knife and make sure the point goes all the way down into the skin's inside...then squeeze the avacado over your salad and, voila!, the slices drop down into your yummy salad.
