Can I separate fats and waxes from my hte using a centrifuge?

Dammit @HeisenbergInd now you have me thinking and I didn’t want to think today…

Your second tube there might still be terps. .45u is going to require you spin longer to achieve the same results as the 25u.

I currently get 99.8% pure n-pentane I’m pretty sure, I’ll have to check the coa and see what the .2 is in there

Great point I’ll have to set up my short path I guess hahaha

I can confirm this is good information, neo-pentane also purges easier, iso-pentane can be a btch to purge from hte without deep vac or higher temps

That is so weird. I always thought I use 100 micron filters but I have been using the same filters as OP

With a deep vacuum and no heat in the short path?

Once we are fully operational, I’ll do a time lapse video to show the formation of the facets and how quick they build.

Oh I know been there
Very intresting fact
To bad it s not so easy to obtain in pure form at a decent price
But a tit bit go s a long way

Im trying to understand something if anyone can explain me i would appreciate it!
So the thca i get from separating resin or any other type of concentrates, if i turn it into diamonds is the thca %still the same?
Whats the difference between the thca in raw form vs when U crystallize it into a bigger Diamond
I know that thc doesn’t crystallize,does crystallizing thca in big rocks leaves behind any impurities and makes for a cleaner “stronger?” end product
If i try to crystallize 100 g of thca into diamonds what is the ratio I would get back in diamonds?

Recrystallization has long been known as an effective purification tool.

No, it’s mostly not about the size of the crystals.

You may be looking at the differences between 92% for “sugar” or “sand” or 98-99+ for clean clear “diamonds”, and that is mostly about how fast they were crystallized.

I find partially decarbed material gives much smaller crystals

Thank you! Now i can sleep well lol i get so many questions sometimes and this forum has been amazing,i joined 2 months ago and I learned a lot!

But realize not all thc-a will crystelize one part will stay in solution ((HTE)

All about breaking that saturation threshold. Once below that….

Poof

No more crashing

What do you use the isopentane for? Fast crashing into isolate?
