Co2 off gas?

N2 flush.

I’m not gunna say too much now. I probably already have lol

Y’all are some smart mofos in here

I prefer a bit of -20 c butane and a wrist-fuge. It gets more clout in the rap videos when u have a good wrist game

I like a little bit of terps because I dont squeeze thca out of garbage

Homeboy is right though. although like he stated he’s not first to do it, the tek was known by a small percentage of people. Ive been using the tek for a while now too and it is cool seeing all you guys finding many different ways to isolate thca. One of my favorite phrases used by f42k users is ā€œThere’s many ways to skin a catā€.

I’ve known about this one for a few years, as well. I could never inpliment it until recently

And I prefer my cat skinned.

I hear you, same. 3 years or so, matter of fact the day of the crc class i had our spinning room locked as to not let all the guest peep the tek as some guys are smart enough to figure things out just by looking at something. Plus my boss wasn’t trying to share the tek.

Same same. I usually would talk about it. Just not publicly post about it. I keep a few things to myself before letting em out

Open source all day. Take that proprietary shit and shove it. Everyone in here trying to flex about how they did it first. It’s using a centrifuge, like most of us have all seen in use at least once in our lives to separate compounds.

Let’s see again how can we purify a compound?

Extraction
Filtration
Distillation
Crystallization

How can I make wet things dry?!

I do think my dryer has been mechanically separating water from my clothes for quite some time and I see that everyday. These are not complex connections to be made… Congratulations! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Are we each making minor modifications to an existing process. Yes. Want credit for that? Sure.

You want to make sure credit for isolating crystalline thca from its solution using centripetal force goes to you, bring it up with any one of the chemists that likely used the method in any one of the research papers on the subject over the last like 50yrs or so.

All this is trying to bring to the table is showing people a method using jars and a touch of solvent with a custom made screen insert to increase throughput and make the process a bit more commercially viable.

This is the one you’re using mason jars in? Are you using the chem tek inserts?

Yea the Beckman and the Cence both fit mason jars in their 500ml buckets but the beckman fits the wide mouth and regular while the Cense only fits the regular mouth jars

do you like the beckman better… i see bio surplus still has a few and thats not too far from me

I 100% would rather have the Cense. It’s digital, quieter, stops within 1min, smaller, not refrigerated which solidifies the oil making it harder to separate, list goes on…however the beckman will do the job

Heres a contribution from me to You all:

I do have a more precise and well written SOP for tgis but here you go.

SS Mixing bowl with a diameter that will fit on your swing buckets nice and snugg, followed by a sink strainer with a screen cut out for the base and a coffee filter in the strainer. Dont over fill material and use a scale with your pre prepped bucket as you add your material to be separated. Not all four buckets need to be the same weight but the two across from each other do as the other two must also be the same weight as each other, that will keep You balanced. As for RPMa, Start @ 1500rpm and let it spin for about two minites or so then crank your speed to 2500rpm another 2mims or so then go up to 3k rpm and let spin for 30 minutes. That allos for the material to settle. After 30 minutes put a stop to the spin amd inspect buckets, if there is still alot of sauce on top layer, get a tool and flip the sauce to the bottom. Close unit and set rpm to 3k and timer for another 30minutes. After that guve a inspection and if your satisfied collect your goods if not spin @ 3kRpm for another 15.

I hipe this helps you guys. Also i want to add, alot of shit we do isnt mew to the world but it is new to cannabis, also im not a chemsit ive learned everything the hard way through rnd and reading. So dont jusge me if your a chemist, i fucking hate chemist in the game that think their shit dont stink. :facepunch:t3:

Edit:sorry for the typos.also the mixing biwls are a bitch to find so if you find something better go for it!

where do you get a mixing bowl that small?

I cannot seem to find a version of this for 100 ml tubes.

Anyone know of any?

Edit: Just read down to the sock trick, gonna try that.

So Target used to sell them they were a 1 1/2 cup ss mixing bowls, but they discontinued manufacturing that size. I’ve seen some online with the right dimensions being sold in other countries. Different weight units but same sizes.:love_you_gesture:t3:

@Purityisolation talking about pushing it thru the filter with a lot of force, instead of spinning it with a lot of force.
