@FicklePickle@Dred_pirate when was that gtg at my place? We started seeing the fast crash around that time frame like weeks before. We briefly talked about it that day. I’ve not seen any chalky stones though. Only an immediate crash of fine THCa when pouring super wet…that I could sometimes get to dissolve back into solution.
Wild right? That’s exactly where my head went too. Appeared to be the same issue. Bulk supply from @GasLogix-Adam check ppb levels and it’s clean. Wonder if it could have been in a refilled tank or something.
That one should’ve been a first fill if I remember correctly—I may have my numbers off but it was either the first time it’d been filled or had been cleaned and refilled once. Here’s the numbers for that tank if it’s useful:
I have looked into this topic quite a bit and although I wanted to believe this at first, I still find this extremely unlikely. It would take some serious abuse to produce this result. The fact it’s showing up when still diluted in solvent suggests it came with the gas.
We also would see all types of samples failing for benzene left and right if it formed that easily under normal conditions. Benzene is most likely going to come from petroleum.
Totally. But that’s what I meant by first fill, like that was either a brand new tank (post initial cleaning of course) or it had been filled, shipped home, cleaned, and refilled once.
And it’s all good. I have no problem falling in the sword for the sake of figuring this out. Just wanted to clarify .
So far I have not read a single post from the ones having issues state they distill all gas before use. Not saying they do not but I would have already posted that if I had this issue.
I must have missed it if that was posted in 1 of the 3 bad gas threads.
Also all distilled gas must go into a dedicated solvent tank that can be open and cleaned not back into the tanks the gas was delivered in. Nobody has posted this and I am certain of that.
