how do you dry cbd isolate powder without using solvents?

What do you mean dry it without solvent? if there isnt solvent in it, it is by definition “dry”
Do you mean how do wash isolate? is it a yellow isolate and you want it white?

I mean removing the water. Solvents are dry if there isn’t water in them.
I was thinking of mixing CBD in toluene and brine wash then sodium sulfate then evap the toluene.
but really I’d rather have a way in which I don’t have smelly solvents to evaporate.
what I’m doing is putting the CBD between sheets of kitchen paper towels and air frying it at 30c, the fan is very strong but I don’t think it’s enough to really dry it.
How wet is it? I would just throw in vac oven

I don’t know but it only yields 75% pure delta 8 thc and 0% delta 9, with a zeolite tek. although I dry everything else correctly. So my guess is that my CBD is wet, actually it feels a bit wet between my fingers when I rub it.
I don’t have much stuff except a air fryer and jam jars, I don’t have a vac oven
I would make or buy some sort of dessicator. Get a drying agent like magnesium sulfate or sodium sulfate, put it in a large container, and then put your cbd in a smaller container inside.

thank you, I actually have sodium sulfate, is it strong enough to move the water from the CBD powder even if it’s not in direct contact?
Yeah it should work well. Just depends on how much water you’re trying to absorb

0-%d9 that s interesting
Are you running internal analytics or sending it away?
We test a lot of D8 and D9 compliance is intentional, so maybe a second opinion is warranted?
