I am pretty sure he understood that and in his mind that went without saying. Perhaps could have been stated clearer though.

Lol I donāt think he does.
Hes too busy being defensive to try and explain why AA wont cause isomerization if its surface area.
Then he wants to act like he knows whatās going on then contradicts himself
I thought he might actually be able to explain why cetain things cause isomerization and others dont but hes grabbing at thin air lol
If an absorbent wont interact with your crude the absorbant wont cause isomerization.
Enough Heat always will

I literally agree with his entire statementā¦ which was why i liked it when I read it. Hes correct, as am I. His statement is much more in depth than mine, and more specific, but the two statements are certainly not mutually exclusive. Youāre right in that maybe he also read it as āadsorbents cause isomerization ONLY due to surface areaā but thatās obviously not what I meant. They facilitate it in conditions that otherwise would not cause appreciable isomerization.

I thought you were saying it was only surface area, which is why I was asking about AA.
When I read things online I take them very literal
Iāve been testing alot of catalyst to try and determine what the d10 catalyst is
Lately Iāve been wondering why some cause isomerization while others dont.
I just felt like if it was surface area anything you put in the flask would isomerize your crude but that doesnt always happen you know?
AA and iron oxide are 2 that dont do shit

I honestly donāt mind it because it drives discourse foreword and literally any thread where @Kingofthekush420 gets into it with a classically trained chemist means thereās just a flood of valuable knowledge to be had as the parties duke it out.
F42k fight club chemistry school- also this kind of discourse tends to keep the plebs away- more than one prissy suit biz major has told me they donāt like this site because itās too underground for their tastesā¦ good! stay out, I love selling SOPs.

95% of the stuff I repeat comes from ppl I consider smarter than me.
Most the time when I asked a question itās to cross check what I was told
I never know how accurate someoneās info is so I always ask multiple ppl to get a consensus lol

Very true, Iām not against itā¦ A lot of great knowledge to be gained here, as long as you can filter out the BS, very comical as wellā¦
I commented purely based on the use of āALOTā versus āA LOTā (you gotta love the alot monsterā¦)

All good! Getting back on topic, if anyone has a proper lab in CA testing for delta 10 please holler with detailsā¦
I think @AlexSiegel does
DM me here or on Instagram (same name), we have D10 testing up and going in the Bay Area

In my experience d10 is not very soluble in Heptane. I was able to crash d10 from batches that had not yet crystallized, I suspect they would have (to some degree) if left to sit longer. YMMV

Hey Iām in the Bay Area and I believe I have a batch with a significant amount of D10 and would love to get it tested, how do I reach you?
Happy to help. Fastest way to contact us is to message this same name on Instagram. If you donāt have Instagram a private message here works or call/message 5303856658

Send a sample to @QGA and if you still have some of the crude you distilled it of to might give an insight in the what makes it isomerize

You only need are TLC plates and a CBD standard to convince yourself that the Beam test is a fairly irreversible process.
Run the reaction. Wait until CBD spot disappears. Observe new spot form. Then try to acidify and repeat the TLC. If CBD comes back, you get to email Mechoulam and tell him heās wrong.
