sweeeet setup. and smart move on pausing for the night, get some good rest, follow up mananaaaaaaView attachment 2642660had the braided pvc layin around...if that poses a problem i will buy more copper tube. Have the condenser sitting nicely on top of a wide mouth jar. Just water in the pot. Oil was at 180F then dropped to 150F when places the pot in. Going to slowly raise the temp but i have a pretty dang good idea where 225 and 250F are.
The griddle i purchased works great too.
Hope to see the temp rise and water dripping out soon!
Good to see you up and running!View attachment 2642660had the braided pvc layin around...if that poses a problem i will buy more copper tube.

PVC hose isn't compatible with ethanol and will bleed plastisizers into the recovered alcohol. I use a neoprene fuel hose.

Thanks...i'm only performing test runs with distilling water until know everything is hunky-dory. I'll run by the store and grab the fuel hose.Good to see you up and running!

That's what I was going with but saw the other and was curiouseDang...idk man...the first one lol. I use Everclear.
Fadedawg may be the most educated to post back about that.
We use 190 proof. It is good enough and further processing to 200 proof, may introduce questionable drying agents like benzene.What would u recommend guys for winterizing
That's exactly what I wanted to hear thanks fade.....We use 190 proof. It is good enough and further processing to 200 proof, may introduce questionable drying agents like benzene.
sure...if it sat in cow shit overnight...or any other variety of feces, but it it was otherwise untouched(aside from dabbing) and nothing got it dirty before that last dab then he's trippin.Can wax turn harsh over night I dnt know what happened or he's tryin to get free shit from me
Actually I take that as a valid question would like to knowsure...if it sat in cow shit overnight...or any other variety of feces, but it it was otherwise untouched(aside from dabbing) and nothing got it dirty before that last dab then he's trippin.
I personally only have small amount of oil at a time and usually in shatter form. I usually leave it sitting on parchment an it's gone in a week. then i make more. I have no clue what happens to honey comb or shatter if it's just left out in the open for a few weeks.
So butane obviously extracts a decent amount of plant wax and shit, that's why i winterize. So you boil off the butane, collect it, throw it under vacuum, create honey comb(real basic just for reference)...during any of that process could some of those extracted waxes accidentally/naturally become more concentrated in a certain area of the finished product??? Leading to some dabs having a higher concentration of plant wax than others, and then leading to some dabs not tasting quite as good as others.
That may be a crazy idea but just crosses my mind.
