Well, Just thought you guys would like to know my yields. I got 8 ounces of bud, and 6 ounces of trim.

I managed to steam distill some the terpenes. Do you guys think steam distillation of thc or cbd would work?

It definitely moves more air than my other pump. Sucks like a vacuum cleaner.

It is a GAST pump. I don't have a gauge for it yet.

It was just dirty. I got it used at a surplus supply.

Well, I fixed it. Just need to find the connections to reduce the line size to 3/8"

I may look into getting this beast working.

I just measured my vacuum. Water boils at 19c that calculates to a vacuum of ~0.02atm (15.2 mmhg) What kind of vacuum does that welch vacuum pull? Edit: Just looked it up....... 0.0001atm jesus fuck that is a good vacuum. Water will boil at -49c. Oooh I definitely need one of these

It is tempting lol

My shortpath cost me $45.00 usd. That includes shipping. Most of my glassware is under $50.00 usd. The most expensive piece I own is the soxhlet apparatus. It cost me about $60.00 usd Science tools in america are way over inflated. That is why I source my supplies from out of the country. I...

I already have most of the equipment needed. Glassware isn't the issue. Plus I have a source in china that can get me quality glassware for a fraction of the cost in america. The heating mantle, and a decent vacuum source are the 2 big things I still lack. Those will come soon enough. I should...

Yes, this is a lot of work for such a small amount. However, I am not doing this for profit. Right now I am exploring the science and trying to figure out the possibilities. This is fun and exciting for me. I may still be able to have this failed attempt tested. Since THC breaks down when...

I don't have a guage. I will test it this week end by monitoring the temperature of water as I heat it under vacuum. I can figure out the max vacuum that way.

I think that the 250mL one I used is fine for anything an ounce or lower. I am going to recommend not using the thimble though. The thimble made it so that the top of the weed was not getting submerged in the solvent. Tea bagging is the way to go since you can fill out the vessel while keeping...

I spaced completely. Must have been high or something. I have a feeling that soxhleting would work if you had much more starting material. I had my hot plate cranked at 550c for an hour and nothing came over. I started low and slowly cranked it up over the course of 2 hours. plus.... it turned...
