hmm. See that’s what I figured would happen, but to some extent it depends on the heat transfer surface, be it a coil or whatever. If you’re interested I could tell you what he said and what I calculated. It might help you down the line and help to evaluate whether specific rotovaps can and can’t handle what oil, in case you were going to get another one someday. I suppose I should just put the info up anyway.

I use the same oil in a Chinese and a across (which is also Chinese) both are coil heated and I can’t even imagine not decarbing in the roto.

my across maxes out at 100c … how are you getting those temps ?

You have to reprogram the across ones it’s in the manual how to get to the max temp screen, or just email them it’s been so long I don’t remember how I did it

MeOH breaks down to methyl group plus OH- or (methoxy plus H+ in alkaline environment). Methylating biological systems could possibly be detrimental to life vs. ethyl group.

2l roto and water aspirator , want to make sure there is no degrading. Vac and temp to use to fully remove eth and decarb ?
Im not quite sure what your asking? But you can most definitely use a wayer aspirator pump on a 2l and decarb with it, they pull a really deep vac so you gotta keep the waywr as cold as possible, mines hooked up to a waywr chiller that keeps it around 7c the whole time. They work good cause the wayer will absorb the stink of decarbing, so you just gotta change it every handful of runs

Basically just trying to make sure I don’t over cook whats in there due to the temperature it’s set at not being the actual temp due to vac depth . Hard to explain but do you understand what I’m saying ?
I set mine to 140c to decarb and volitale strip. If jts foing in a short path your still way below the temp and vac you would be running at

Hm interesting I was under the assumption with thc boiling point being 157c , with a vac pulled 140c would be to high due to vacuum changing boiling point of these elements.
Ya the aspirator pump will come no where near the micron level needed to to achieve thc at 157c. Ive pulled it there when 1micron or lower if sub 1micron. Im finishing a eun right now and i hit thc at 177c at 53micron on 1st pass. You dont need that deep of a vac for a roto, you need steady decent vac same as filtering not deep vacuum like when distilling
