spraying onto water is a good idea too, but you gotta deal with the butane fumes. when I pour it, I can kinda hold my breath, or just deal with it for the 10 seconds that it lasts.. whereas spraying takes 5 minutes +

I've weighed before and after winterizing twice that i know of...but ya i don't think i weighed my very first run. I'm don't with my distiller just getting my wok dialed in. It's workin slick! I'm going to do a test run with water tonight.

I'm performing a second soak in the morning since i was too busy today...if i go to bed early i might just get up for 420 :)

Post some pictures of the distiller here in a little while after i vape some BlueDream i just traded some LCOG for. Those guys want a LCOG clone pretty bad and i want their Pineapple Kush...and their BD haha...

IMG_20130504_244512_408.jpghad 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!

damn...getting too sleepy and don't want to pass out with the distiller going for sure...taking a long time to climb back up to temp. Unplugged and just sitting waiting for tomorrow.
PEACE!

Good to see you up and running!

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.
Right now i can heat water bubbling/fizzing in the pot, plenty of steam 5-6in from the top...just nothing starting to condense down yet. I've insulated the tube a bit to help the steam make it to the down side of the tube. See what happens.

IMG_20130504_171059_028.jpgfew dabs i got from washing my screens in Everclear.
IMG_20130504_194640_383.jpgSecond butane soak, LCOG, 1.5-1.75cans of tane. Didn't weigh the material before hand but fairly just under half of the 16oz thermos.
winterizing currently

Dang...idk man...the first one lol. I use Everclear.
Fadedawg may be the most educated to post back about that.

So i have a bong not being used. I just bought in on 4/20 but i hate how it doesn't clear very efficiently. I would sell it but that's not exactly convenient and i prolly would have to drop the price A LOT to get rid of it around here quickly.

I was getting high thinking wtf can i use that guy for...has a nice big volume in the bottom and a decent column. What if i distilled into the down stem and i had the entire bong wrapped in tube that's circulating as cold of water i can get from the tap...which is pretty freakin cold right now. I could also place something like a upside down bottle into the top of the bong and fill the bottle with ice so the vapors would condense down and drip off of it. Otherwise the vapors will constantly be condensing on the walls of the bong and collecting in the bottom or in the column

OPINIONS????

Right now i honestly wish i had just saved a little more money and purchased a nice glass 2000ml distilling apparatus of some sort. Think they are pretty nice IMO

Another question made some honey comb everyone who has tried it loves it and thinks its very smooth. Have one guy that has had lots of it and all of a sudden over night its harsh he says and all of sudden there's hella butane in it and its un smokable. But he never complained about it before and he has gone thru a half o and now his last .2 is unsmokable fuckin dude's trippin.

Can wax turn harsh over night I dnt know what happened or he's tryin to get free shit from me

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.

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.

Actually I take that as a valid question would like to know
