this is soxhlet extraction brother,been around a very long time as well.not trying to convince you or change your method.just passing along some info a cool cat was nice enough to pass along to me.i like grain cuz i have no worries about ingesting any residual.
And those disabled people have the right to get their meds where they want, not where some crack pots think they should.
I agree. But to be fair. It does hold a vacuum the whole time. Is that not enough though? No extraction expert myself
i personally dont think it is.i like the idea of the (lab grade)pump pulling solvent back and out of the chamber.what is going on inside the chamber holding vac after you shut the pump off? where is the solvent going? evaporating?bouncing around only to fall back onto the extract? i do not follow or subscribe to that thought process.i also dont like pumps that need oil.the pos best valu pump i had got hot af and SMOKED like a mofo.i dont want that running inside my home or something volatile like etoh mixing with the oil.to each their own,im not an expert either,but i will probably never use an electric vac pump that uses oil,ever again
I know that to do this it works best if it runs the entire time.......and you need a good pump to do that. locking it down sees the purge stop hence why the machine starts again.... I tried it as that's all you could do with the best value vacs
The top lid is chilled with ice and tilted back. Presumably it condenses and falls down into a collection area. It won't evaporate again unless it warms up.
hmm.id be weighing my solvent up before then after this process before id even consider dabbing.this is nothing but a gimmick toy in my eyes.$900 lol,what a joke.
Agreed, but how many people can afford a vacuum pump made specifically for solvents? Thats around 500 or more itself. Skunk farms wrote an interesting Article on how an improper pump contaminates your product, so I agree with you about those pumps that use oil. This seems more for small batch personal production. And unless theres another solution for $1k(Canadian), this seems not too bad
im at work right now but i wanted to answer your post.its simple to me,i wouldnt jeopardize my health with something inferior because i cant afford a real pump.nor do i want others,thats all im getting at.learn a different method.simple organic chemistry,extraction,distillation,ice hash(remember hash?),rosin...oil/concentrates are sexy right now,why everyone wants to do it.but the health issues and negative results are not in yet and people are taking silly risks.this kitchen rig might be great for edibles not for smoking imo.what do you suppose is the most $$$ part on thst thing? the ss bowl? hardly worth the $900 cost.
WOW and here I was beginning to think you were just way to daft to grasp that concept!
Well I think you have made your point clear, although you fail to substantiate it. I am unclear on how you would dab oil, it is not resin. Regardless, I think this machine would quell my wife's concern about safety and provide me with a usable means to create some oil for edibles and some caps for medicine. I do not do dabs, and to me bubble hash is a process gone wrong. I like my terpenes thank you very much.
transporting across borders? lol In Ontario..
You are missing the point (intentionally?). If you use a food grade solvent - something that is generally considered safe to consume - it doesn't matter if there are residuals. Even in a concentrate. You aren't dabbing this stuff, you are cooking with it or putting it under your toungue or making a lotion out of it.
you are exactly right,it is oil,just like my final product(which i have dabbed,a thick oil)as far as "failing to substantiate" all i am saying,thats IMO ,that little pump aint going to cut it for smoking.you dont think people will see that and think to smoke it? once again,yes,edibles are probably a safe bet with this rig.you dont get nice terps with hash?
