Mason jars work great too.

@FrozenCaveMan, no doubt. That picture was taken last year when I had left the collection vessel in recovery mode over night. Usually when I unhook for a vac purge I leave enough solvent in for an easy pour. But, your point is well taken!!
yeah, I have considered that but I was just wondering what would happen if I just clamped on the top and popped it into the oven
I would think if your oven was up to par it would work great, dial it in and its same as a miner. Not seeing many 2 to 3 gram stones coming outta those tho. Or any glass quality see through

Oven is fine and I am not looking for flexing stones…just some different results besides shatter and honeycomb/crumble
Got to start somewhere and the main thing I was thinking about is it safe or something that someone will say…“what the phuck were you thinking”

Totally safe, you’re good brotha.
Edit: ‘totally safe’ is objective here obviously

ok then…what the puck were you thinking?
as in, if it’s safe to have liquid butane in your extractor, and you’re actually removing most of the solvent, and not going any hotter than you do when recoverying, what exactly would you imagine would make this any less “safe”?
same gear, same solvent, same temps…
could you fuck up and hurt yourself? Sure. that is always a possibility when you’re working with this stuff. So I’m not giving you grief for asking.
Are the dangers any greater than just running the machine and doing your normal pour off? Not unless you add something new to the equation.
you know, like @thesk8nmidget’s flare-in-place cleaning protocol.

I appreciate the input. The reason I asked about safety is because I only use about a 70 degree warm water bath for recovery and it is moving to a collection vessel in dry ice. Just Don t want to end up in the funny papers…thanks
you don’t want to go much over that 70f in your oven either.
if you haven’t wrapped your head around this graphic yet, I recommend you do.

So 70… not 90?
And keep venting to 15psi?
Edit: I have taken notes on several sop’s. Not looking for a spoon, just some confirmations

pressure is not an absolute requirement, slowly decreasing it over time is important. too warm will make more THC, which doesn’t crystalize like THCA…so below 90f is definitely recommended. especially when you’re first getting the hang of things and might be looking at 3+ weeks in the oven.

Much appreciated
You can throw a PRV on the lid of your mason jar if you’re really afraid of a jar blowing out, or something…

I have been reading all the diamonds threads i can find, and realize until you start failing you will never succeed and what works for you might not work for me.
It is amazing to have all the knowledge here at our disposal but yeah, we need to start doing in order to correct SOPs, other wise we’re like a cook with a cook book who thinks he’s a chef…
Much love peeps.
Figure this is as good as place as any to ask and migbt help him as well. How much empty space is required when doing jar otscc. A quart jar ive ben seeing about 1/8 full. Could one fill the jar 1/2 to 3/4 full and still stone out nicely? Like 500 ml in a jar that holds 800ml?

That is where they start. The level drops with burn off

After the burn off its still 500 ml. Seeds kept shape nicely after being put in so should be enough tane gone. Hopin for the best.

What’s the best way to tell when your solution is in a supersaturated state?

@Capttripppp “If you keep adding THCA and you see it start to swirl around, and stop dissolving… You have reached the point of “super saturation”

You keep dissolving shit till it don’t dissolve no mo’.
I am sitting here shaking my head man, not trying to be a giant asshole, but this is stuff we all learned in middle school making sugar crystals.
The principles are the exact same.
