Looking into them now, never heard of one before. I just set a jar in there and it vibrates the bubbles out?
Thatās correct mate, plus itās a heated bath

Taggin in on this I just broke my homogenizer ran too hot and donāt have money for a new one at least not a legit one.
Sonicator is the name for those baths if I bought one can you guide me real quick on what the steps would be. Like the jewelry cleaner ones on Amazon is that enough for homoginizing to happen in?
Iām using 98% distillate so itās thick as fuck.
I wouldnāt really use a sonicator that just spells disaster for someone setting the glass on the cage on metal to homogenize the oil & Terps then creating weak points in the glass from use multiple times & ending in a mess you donāt want to clean up.
Toss it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Or heat in water bath not glass jar on hot plate.

Warm it slightly and chuck it in an appropriate centrifuge. Thereās been recent discussion about which swing arm rotors can handle a bell jar

In a real $/time pinch, as mentioned previously- microwave at 50% power, 30 secs at a time check oil temp after each go and continuously agitate/mix- until your oil is similar in viscosity through the whole solution. Let the jar/container settle to room temp whilst having jar sealed tight.
If this hasnāt inherently fixed your bubble issue after settling-Thereās also a manual/mechanical āvac-pumpā on amazon, under the name āfiltr8ā super-super cheap design, but the luer-lock fittings and GL sleeves are very adaptable to many applcations.
There are also some really cheap/crappy, relatively low rpm homogenizers on amazon that can be stacked with a hotplate/stirrer setup to apply 50-65c with way more shear and less atmospheric exposure time. Itās ghetto-shine cave status but if you know and respect that without trying to come off as a god sent unicorn, it gets the job done xp
