Looks like you’re improving…presumably thanks to the advice proffered above. congrats.
However, just as creating a new user to ask your next question was not helpful (Wax/budder/sugar methods without vaccum oven), creating a new topic for the same issue (you’re new and haven’t figure out your purge) is also counterproductive.
Imagine the NEXT person looking for this information.
You’d prefer it in a nice concise package, so why deliberately spray it all over the place?
Key points 1) thin films purge better. 2) water will cause both sugaring and spitting in response to flame.
It’s much easier to end up with water in your product when open blasting….
You are not the only one on this journey, and all the questions you currently have, have almost certainly been explored before around here…if you want information on specific subjects, go find them and join the discussion by asking clarifying questions. Eg: Cured Badder Tek if that’s what you seek.
-28 doesn’t sound like you’ve got things sealed up right. Let’s see that vacuum pump.
I was not aware of this I thought I could just make threads for advice
I did not open blast into any water I open blasted straight into a mason jar and let it evaporate Outside with air it hasn’t been near water at all really
I had it in the vac chamber at uk room temperature (no heat mat) for 3 days this is how it where blowing up I will attach a pic my heat mat arrived this morning and I put my vac chamber on top with the oil inside once the mat reached 40c I pumped pumped to -28hg there was hardly any bubbling it just puffed a tiny bit after 1 hour i had hard crumble
Dew point in London today is 8C which would certainly provide enough water IN THE AIR to potentially manage some in your BHO (remind us what temp your solvent of choice boils?).
…and while we are on the subject (solvent of choice), understand that the 99.99% n-butane you’re using is almost certainly not even 90%
Bro I explained everything on one of my posts I even posted a pic of the pump I’ve looked for threads on how to purge properly etc everything is about closed loops and vac ovens I don’t have a vac oven or closed loop but will be looking to invest in one once I have funds ready I just replied to this thread like I where told to do instead of creating a new one and people are still moaning at me
Bro you’re not liking the answers. If you keep asking people, you will get the same answers. Your penis pump doesnt work for this application, your open blasting most likely got moisture in your wax. A harbor freight pump is like 90 bucks.
You say all this forum is about vacuum ovens and closed loops… in your giant run on sentence. Makes me think youre not actually reading anything.
You are wasting everyones time, including your own.
@cyclopath is doing their noble duties as a respectable safety concierge. His methods and tactics of getting the points across may not always suit greenies, but he means very well in your endeavors for knowledge when others may not be able to take the time to reply.
I had it reaching -30 in my smaller chamber but read up on google -28 was the perfect pressure
This is the exact reason I am here to look for advise
I don’t make massive amounts of oil literally 5g batches each time so don’t want to be spending £1000s on a vac oven but will definitely be going for a rosin press soon
Cyclopath has forgotten more things than you will learn. Dont be a dick to him. Youre not listening to him, or answering his questions to help you. Sounds like you dont want help. You want someone to say youre doing it right. And it to magically have different results. Thats the definition of insanity.
