When distilling D8, what the hell are the parameters for the difference between heads, body, and tails?
Shits all clear! 
Temperatures are your best friend to finding the clear wast fraction before and after the body.

I didn’t pull anything (other then left over heptane) till 189 vape temp and 210 mantle temp. Maintained 50 micron (with the typical fluctuations) but nothing like regular distilling. Understanding I’m starting with isolate so it’s gonna act more like a 3rd pass, but FFS.
Shit was bananas.
Temp and microns never really shifted once the fluid flowed.

Phosphoric acid.
Easy enough. React long. I can’t stress that enough. I ran 4 hours per kilo, per @Roguelab advice. And wash the shit outta of it! Get the water that elutes to read 7.0 - 7.1 for 2 regular washes. I’m finding distilled won’t cut it. Most is 6.5. I made mine 7.0 and no heat degradation (even with a heat gun). Just used that little trick today after getting consistent rose color (still pretty).
All and all, pretty happy with it

Bought a Fraction Finder and going to work the numbers to see if I can find any distinction with a D8 peak for us hobbyists 
No peaks till the end (which I’m calling tails). But funny, no heads.

I think once I get my results back, I’ll send a sample off to @kcalabs for a comparison. Just want to see how close my conversion was with this new method
