I want to know why tho...what does that do, that's worth 1300. is it like a medical thing, or does it make some part of smoking that much better?

When you are working with large volumes/many batches of extract, a rotary evaporator confers three basic benefits.

1) It greatly speeds solvent removal over, say, distillation as typically performed.

2) It removes more solvent than other techniques (keeping temperature constant), reducing the load on the vacuum pump in the next step: purging residual volatiles.

3) It allows for higher per cent recovery of solvent per run, which is a big plus considering how expensive suitable solvents have become.

You can make your own cart oil / THC oil with one of these, and not add any of the bullshit they do commercially, which a lot of those fillers are unknown as to health consequences.This machine does it efficiently with the use of vacuum so you can cook off the alcohol at lower temps, AND recover the alcohol to re-use.

You can make your own cartridge oil without a Rotavap too.

I really don't want to spend $1300 on one either...which is cheap for one of these by the way. I was going to buy a cheap Chinese model for about $600.

Some chefs use them and have them in their kitchens for making fancy extracts....brand new $5000+ ones.

I was able to pick one up on EBay, a brand name relic, for $200, missing most of the glass, but guaranteed to work. Quality glass / condenser can be had for about $400 used, putting me at the same price as a cheap Chinese model that you can't get parts for. It's a gamble, but we shall see. I can always get my money back out for parts.

Yes, there's actually several ways to do it...A Rotovap is a bit extreme I know but perhaps the most efficient. I could buy a $60 distillation kit and do similar, or make it on my stovetop for that matter.

Supposedly carts can be made out of decarbed rosin even...I'm going to try that here soon.

I just love good carts, and shitty ones go for $50 a pop here, loaded with garbage and fake flavoring. I was probably buying 4 a month...That's $2400 in a year. If I lived in Cali where they go for $10 a piece, I'd never bother!!

Lots of kitchens went out of business from covid.....did you look at used restaurant supply sites or auctions?

I don't know that it is extreme. I like good tools. I also smoke some very good carts. CN does all my distillation and packs it into syringes to make CCell's simple to refill. He doesn't have a Rotovap. Anyway it's not strictly necessary if it's a barrier to entry was all I was saying. But having one would be a nice thing.

I know, you are a lucky lady !! I don't have his skills so hoping to up my game with some good tools! It's an experiment that could go either way, but hopefully it will be fun along the way, and hopefully I don't blow the place up! I'm trying not to bug him with too many questions

Wow, pricier than I expected!! Although those are hopefully some better quality lab tested carts at least.

I hope I live to see & enjoy the day when we have shops like that in NY !! Tasty!

Everything is tested and taxed from the bud to the end product which is why they cost so much.

Been doing yard work the last week so it's been tired but today I got that firewood dropped off. I moved a bunch of shit early. A number of pallets.......3 are 4' x 8' pt...that was it. Salonpas patch is on. LOL I was thinking they should make full back patches. That would be nice

Edit.....I know the one that did it. The 4' x 8' pallets are the floor and I have 4' x 4' pallets screwed to them as a walls....... I left one like a L laid on its side.....should have taken it apart before I moved it.

Edit again.....these pallets are for stacking firewood on.....

BB's score

Factor I: Outgoing and social. Individuals who score low tend to be shut ins.
Factor II is often referred to by other names, such as Neruoticism or Negative Emotionality (in these two cases interpretations are inverted, as Neruoticism and Negative Emotionality can be though of as the opposite of Emotional Stability).
Factor III: A person high in agreeableness is friendly and optimistic. Low scorers are critical and aggressive. (Watch out RIU!)
Factor IV: Individuals who score high on this factor are careful and diligent. Low scorers are impulsive and disorganized. (Wow, did this change when I retired, lol)
Factor V is labeled as Intellect/Imagination. This factor is also often called Openness to Experience. People who score low tend to be traditional and conventional.

When i was making them i was getting $15/.5g cart in our “traditional market”. Knock off Ccell filled with my distillate, cut with 2-3% terps.

who knows how much they go for now. Prob a lot less.

 

[manfredo]

I have 2 good friends who get them regularly here...One buys them from someone in CA, for $50 a piece for 1g carts, and the other friend knows someone making them locally, and they are both cut heavily I'd guess.

So I am sure i could sell them easily for $50 a gram if decent, not that I would ever do that

Do you recall what terps you were using?

Stucco covered yet?

Here's another rotavapor question....or condenser question actually.

I am looking at the type C condensers, that take dry ice and acetone instead of cold water going through them.

This seems like it might be ideal for someone like me who doesn't own a proper chiller. But I'm not sure if it's the best things for distilling cannabis?
