Diamonds turning into chalk post separation

I reached out to you multiple times to try to solve this directly with you and you have yet to take me up on that.

This is not coming from our yard. We have had Our bulk fills 3rd party tested for any contamination coming in on our bulk. Testing was done on new and used cylinders with our process, with no contamination issues. We will continue to 3rd party test each bulk delivery to ensure our consistency and purity.

But what exactly is it being tested for? Can you show us any coa’s?

Benzene was the main concern of recent, If you have any other items you would like to see tested for I can try to accommodate for our October test.

Propylene.

Can you test for that?Thats what we’re also starting to consider being the culprit

We have contracts with our supplier and so unless you wanna send a tank for free I can’t purchase outside vendors. I haven’t been able to prove it’s the gas other then my observations so tough to get out of contract when I can’t prove the gas is tainted or changed from what I used to get.

Anything for you Pickle.

If that is the suspect, Id be willing to guess people are ending up with cylinders that used to be in propylene service. And possibly even being top filled with out a proper internal inspection. See attached.

Id ask your supplier if they are following the guidelines I just posted.

It’s kind of exhausting to explain things to you, since, while very smart, you tend to look at things in the most autistic fashion possible.

I say that being on the spectrum. It’s okay to step off sometimes.

No one is mixing an acid with their butane. Closest you’ll find is folks filtering through an acidic media. To make things easier/you less argumentative, I’m talking about what people post about.

While this is not the same acid step as mentioned above it is definitely a step where your solution is turned acidic. So I would say yes a lot of people are doing an acid step in their process.

My guess would be, the cold crash tech is trapping excessive butane in the crystal lattice. Large growth fast = more butane in lattice = chalking out. Impressive more than anything. Really don’t think it’s any more complicated than that. I’ve had similar results when I experimented with cold crash techs.

It’s not a large diamond thing. Not a cold crash thing either.

Correct me if I am wrong but does that say a 0.01% detection limit for benzene? My math had shown that in the most extreme an impurity existing at around 3-4 parts per billion could manifest info a failing 1 ppm result in extract. Am I reading this wrong? If not that test while for the correct thing many of us had issues with is far from precise enough to tell me if the gas is clean enough for extraction. I read that 99.9% COA as 100 parts per million mystery stuff being used to make product that can fail for a 1 ppm contaminant. And the ratio of butane recovered (an opertunity for contaminants to be left behind) to extract made is often well in excess to 100:1.
Not trying to knock you at all but trying to explain the root of the issue here in the fact of the purity of our final product is scrutinised far more than our input gas which is what is causing all these issues one way or another in my opinion.

I’ll give you 10racks cash if you come to our facility and make diamonds that don’t turn to stone. You can change all the parameters you want. Just have to use the same butane we are using.

On topic:

If I am extracting THCA , that is tetrahydrocannabinoic ACID, with
butane, then SOMEBODY is mixing acids with their Butane.
And SOMEBODY is crystallizing ACIDS from BUTANE.

853 and counting:

Does that count me too??? Hahaha I’ll make you good stones guaranteed but it’s gonna be a change in your sop. I’ll do it butane only though.

I did cold crash for a year with no Medusa

I did use pentane to re-x which they say fixes Medusa issues

Will you give me 10 racks if I show up with new butane that works ?
