Hi all,
Really enjoyed this thread; helped confirm that I still have a lot to learn!
So, I just bought the following rig:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01MF9ZE7J/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Essentially, 3cfm, single stage pump, best value vacs. I'm confident that the pump I have is gonna be fine. Connections/valves all are decent quality, so not concerned about holding my vacuum. The issue for me is heat - I don't have a heating pad, and am planning on using the warming element on my stovetop for final purge.
My plan so far - blast 1oz, let degas in warm area for a bit. Once calmed down, place in vacuum, purge 2-3 times till heavy bubbling subsides. I'm then going to set it up for a good 24hr purge on low heat (gonna aim for 105F product temp). I'm going to do a try run or two to see how steady the heat holds on the stovetop with nothing in the container, and go from there.
If I can't find a way to hold consistent, low heat, does anyone have any cheap heating pad solutions that won't cost me hundreds of dollars? I'm in Canada, and most of the digital heat control pads I've found are at least 220$.
Looking forward to reading more as I explore the site!

The stove top is most likely to hot and not controllable at the temperatures that you are operating at. you can ameliorate that somewhat by setting a pan of sand on the element and the pot in the sand.
Silicone heat mats with a variac or PID controller will also work.

I hope you guys don't mind if I'm a little off topic.
I'm looking to buy a whole setup and the Internet is providing me with a lot of convoluted info.
Tell me if I'm on the right track please.
I need a tube. Probably a nice metal one that I blast into and then can open. Up when I'm ready.
I open it into a Pyrex dish that sits in mildly warm water. When all the gas blows off of it I can safely take it inside and put it in a pot that holds vacuum.
I hook a pump to that and purge it

hi guys!
so im pretty new here. i live in austria, vienna where the cannabis industry works in a loophole. certain products are easy to obtain and others very difficult. a purge kit from best value vacs cost around 700 euros, whereas on their website the same kit cost only 200 - 300 $....so i decided to order off of amazon from the uk or if it permits me, order from the states. our salespeople working in head-growshops are well educated but in products that have been on the market for a while. trending and up and coming products such as purging bho are rather new here, but i try to keep up to date with whats going on in the states. so my question is, which brand or what type of purge kit is suitable enough to make quality shatter - concentrates?
incase details are required please let me know, any form of help will be very much apppreciated!

Some folks accomplish full vacuum... and afterward BURP outside air once again into the chamber for a second.. consequently diminishing the vacuum by only a minor piece. full vacuums can pull terps (flavor) and THC out of the oil in the event that you got excessively warm. indeed, even on an extremely sweltering summer day... a full vacuum for a really long time of a period can suck terpenes and THC from the oil.

Hey guys forgive my newbie-ness
I'd like to try filtering my oils. A few Q if I may?
Where could i get a basic filter system at a reasonable price. I don't putting a few bucks into something. I hate buying shit twice.
Trouble is I don't know what I need.
Is this the best option?

Any help would be appreciated.
Should it be glass over plastic. I see a lot of plastic stuff being sold.
A link to a decent basic reusable setup would appreciated
Thanks
