Hello Amigos,
I’ve been on my AI 5L mantle since 8:30am, and now it’s 12:10pm . I’m 225 /226 Celsius on mantle and 23.2 Celsius Head temp. I’ve been hovering right at 23-24 for the last 3 hours. I have to mention I already distilled terps yesterday for almost 6 hours, just trying to get to Body.
Is this normal? I’ve never expereince this before .
Appriecaite it any feed back, thank you in advance =)

I have about 1900g in a 5L flask. My apolologies, I don’t have a vacuum gauge, only a vacuum gauge regulater. I just ordered a Vacuum gauge, running a Welch 1400 vacuum pump.
current readings:
68 C on Head (climbing)
250 C mantle
1200 RPM.
26.79 nHG - Vacuum regulater
Thank you guys
Pushing your luck he !
Ok insulate your head with aluminium foil
Raise condnsor temp as high as possible

And that vacuum regulator say s 26 hg
If so aboard this mission because you have a major leak in system
If you do decide to abourt mission leave vac running till all has cooled down

You should be at around 300 micron in heads max
This is very far off

Sounds like I need a deeper Vac correct? Currently in the process on getting an Edwards 30 or AI SuperVac 21 and intergrate with the Welch 1400.

This is the correct picture
Can you show pictures of your glass setup?
Thats even worse
Turn of the heat let the vacuum run get a good gauge and move on from there
The pumps cfm is way to low
