all my experience with parchment and alcohol leads to alcohol soaking through the parchment...taking the oil with it of course. So then you're left with with oil soaked parchment and oil to scrape off the pan beneath. I was able to collect most of it, but the parchment was a darker color and i know i lost some oil there.
I've thought about the difference in boil point under vacuum before. Kinda cool to see that table for reference.
...feel like i haven't posted much lately but i've been slightly busy. Just got a 600hps and be messing around with the flower room rearranging some shit...taking more clones for the expansion. Going to do more of a vertical grow hoping i can yield more out of my LCOG...even though it does pretty good already. It's my most lanky plant though and grows in height about twice as fast as everything else have. Also my sister is getting married in 2 wks; i've been saving up some material so i know i'll have some dank shatter to show off to my bro and bro-in-law for the first time.
Should have some to show off here this next weekend.
Anyways...i've been without concentrates for a week or so and tomorrow i'm going to do a bho run of around 17grams of some LCOG trim and another random few grams of trim. Going to winterize it of course and then enjoy the shit out of it
PEACE!
i tried an ethanol wash on some of my blues last night, had about a 1.5 grams of this budder like quality. warmed up ethanol to 160F threw in chunk, and mixed with pin till i had clear gold liquid. no chunks.. i did not winterize this, just rinsed it..
after rinse, i then poured ethanol into bowl, lined with parchment.!! parchment weighed .96 grams before hand.
then placed bowl on heating pad surface set to 190F ish with a fan blowing directly over bowl..
evap lasted about an hour,
muffined no heat
thennnnn melted down at about 130, and also flattened the helllllll out of the oil, leaving a film I'd say less than a millimeter thin.
purged at about 113F for a few hours. AND at 29.2 HG, just over the tip of 29.
PRESTO!
although not winterized, this shit hits soooooooo epicly smooth! anddd on top of that, looks cool as shit. i'll try and post some shots soon. twas only a gram.5 though.
i gots an xj-13 pool of gold in the freezer waiting for me!!!! - i will not boil off the ethanol in the parchment with this, due to the fact that im still on the fence about it, YEY FOR SCRAPING! because i cant recover everything on scrape, I will rinse the pyrex with ethanol and poor that onto parchment like is did my blues :]
im gonna be waking up pretty early in the AM tomorrow before work to get this baby going. this is very exciting!
parchment lost NO weight.
and with that in mind, i dont care what im digesting thats toxic off the parchment, its gotta be so damn minimal. but parchment is extremely easy to fuck up, so still testing out the best methods..
