Oh I'm actively sorting it now... I just waited too long to begin sorting it :). :lol:

Hopefully in 6 months I'll be stocked up. I'm predicting having 20-30 grams of quality errlz every few months from my trim alone :D.

get the real deal. borosilicate(pyrex) glass is way better than metal.

1/2 the size and material its made out of is completely irrelevant. if it holds 30" of vacuum its good to go...
besides.. a double wall aluminum pot will only crunch... not explode... lets see how that dessicator holds up when you drop it @ 29" of vacuum... bet its a fuck of a show :)

also being a large pot its pretty easy to just hit the pot with a torch or put it on the stove for 30 seconds to add some heat.... it doesnt suffer the same thermal shock values that glass does.
everything listed there explains why a metal vacuum chamber is superior to a glass one... at least in my eyes

(and dont say dropping it is an impossibility... shit happens...)

oh and just fyi poly.... you shouldnt link people to things in here that arent recommended for full vacuum
lists right on the page 20" vaccum for 24hr

If I may ask, what you guys do w iso? iso-butane is my vector. I swear by it. I have a feeling thats not what kind of extracts your talking about. I made isopropyl when I needed grease for my threads of my extractors w out contaminating the batch w anything other than weed. So isopropyl had a use. How you guys use it?

Oakley is the isopropyl king!

Here's a chem lesson;

Butane is a non-polar compound, THC is a non-polar compound so they bond together allowing the THC to be removed with the butane. Isopropyl alcohol is semi-polar, which means it can bond to polar AND non-polar compounds.

Chlorophyll is a polar compound, and therefore is easily extracted by other polar compounds, e.g. Iso, water, etc., etc. When you use Butane (non-polar) it leaves all polar materials inside the bud, that's why you end up with honey oil not black, or green oil. Only the THC is extracted.

Green and black colored oil has contaminants in it e.g. chlorophyll and other polar compounds. There's a few ways to circumvent having a high number of contaminants in Iso-oil.... If you freeze the bud before hand, and make sure the Iso is well below zero degrees Celsius, the water and chlorophyll will stay 'locked' in the frozen water. THC is oil based, and won't freeze allowing it to be extracted while the water and chlorophyll remain frozen, trapped inside the plant matter.

Remember, Iso is semi-polar so it will extract both polar and non-polar materials so making sure your polar compounds are frozen, and out of harms way, is essential for getting high quality Iso oil!

damn my bad bro. i dodnt know it was a crap one it just happened to be the site i was on ATM. i perfer glass for many reasons but it seems like you know better than me.... so why you asking for opinions?

also you really didnt have to get all fucked up about it and type a rude post. just explain it to me next time, damn, my bad man.

but i do want to say this. when it comes to smoking to you prefer metal or glass? i prefer glass for most everything, not that you will be putting reactive substance in there but its safer for those types of things should you choose to use it for other means.

Isopropyl is what
I used when these kids where jacking me. I made iso junk and placed it in vials and the dumb fucks took the bait. They probably thought I was loosing my touch! Iso is the lowest quality concentate available. Yuck.

you live to troll the extraction section dont ya? your about the lowest quality of person ive met on here ISO is a perfectly acceptable way to preform extraction and can be very tasty if done right. take you opinions else where.

vacuum is measured in mm. -32mm is total outer space vacuum. It's not measured in " or ', as that's our funky measurement's standing for inches and feet.

i had someone come 10 hrs away to get a tutorial from me. It's very common for people who live that close to come and get the live demo and any questions answered concerning scfe. He is not familiar w my posts, but I've taught about 50 people how to use co2 as a solvent of choice for extracting desired compounds of interest from matrices. I have never had anyone w bho, let alone isopropyl have a chance at dankier end product. The people who brought their fire side by side them, were the ones breaking me off winner by a long shot. Every time. Iso is what I used to rinse out my vessel after an extraction to recover what was stuck on side walls. Noticeable difference from ethanol, huge. So much so that it was always a B-bag, dont dab off my nail w that shit, kind of unwanted extract for myself. But when was the last time you dabbed co2 concentrate like no tomorrow? One tends to get spoiled when you sit on oil wells like I do. IMG_20121027_035128.jpg
