Have u guys seen a rise in lab explosions?

Airflow. I think as soon as you hit ~14% butane/atmosphere, you’re just a water heater pilot light, dropped pipe on a concrete floor, or lighter left in your pocket away from combustion.

Career advice: be selective of who you work with. Good values and safety sense are everything.

Broken down, improperly cared for equipment is a big one.

I think the biggest cause of explosions would be retardation.

Absolute dumbasses trying to CRC or blast their poop

This lmao.

This is exactly why.

You don’t see retards like me trying their hand at extracting until they know they’re 100% ready not on a whim on Sunday

I’m waiting till I have my first CLS and warehouse to even attempt any extraction.

Definitely not. Not even close. Really smart people make silly mistakes all the time. Someone being developmentally disabled has no bearing on whether they would cause a lab explosion.

Ignorance, however, much like your response, may be a reason, but retardation (which literally means the action of delaying or slowing the progress or development of something) has nothing to do with lab explosions.

He means retardation in terms of Chads trying to do something they’ve never laid eyes upon

I.e. being stupid as shit

You are 100% correct though in my honest opinion. I just chalk these explosions up to literal dumbasses

Mix that with crowded cities

Thats deadly

I remember last year the huge ass butane canister fire in DTLA I believe

That was bad

Technically correct…the best kind of correct.

Oh! I wanted to add on to improper equipment: high pressure fittings on C02 rigs should be replaced periodically and I bet people don’t often enough.

Hydrocarbons usually have higher density of air, so if the lab or storage is not well ventilated with proper system (bottom ventilation), stratification can occur and then very easy to get an explosion. My own lab exploded, even if my sense of safety was very high at the time of the explosion. Im lucky still alive (20 days of hospitalization, 20% of my body with severe burn), 2 my employee died and a third will be permanently injured. A lot of factor played a role in the accident (one machine malfunction) and a messy/stressful situation. Im as the owner, im under investigation as responsible, and of course will accept all the legal consequnces if mistake by myself will emerge. Im in the game since 2017 and the first accident come after 4 year of professional job with tragic consequence.

A little patience, and I’m sure you can get an answer from the man himself.
