You could at least direct him. Op look in tricks of the trade where they talk about vibrators and sex toys

We come across this issue often when beginning SPD operations. It normally comes from improper fractionation, or contamination in the starting material. It can be aided with numerous remediation processes, but you havent given us enough information to really direct you to specifics.
heres a thread about this same issue from last week.
Other than that, make sure to search through the Hash and stuff catagories
Remember, the search bar is your best friend!

Run a few passes through the shortpath, make sure to cut your fractions cleanly and discard any lower volitiles.

Does hot condenser tek help in this situation as well?
yes, but you will rarely get a 1st pass that smells the same as a 3rd.

If you take it low and slow I’ve found that there is less smell. There are 2 terps with boiling points between thc and cbd/cbn which I think has some of that smell. Or at least I’ve noticed less of it when I do my runs at 175c vapor, not letting it get above 185c at any time.

Vac is between 100-400 micron. But my gauge might not be reading correctly, so it might be lower than that actually.

Hot condenser Tek help my first pass smell quite a bit better and made it easier to separate out those fractions on a fast first pass. Still need to run at least another pass to get it out totally.

I had a liter before like that and the lAb took it back and traded me out.
I’ve got completely clean smelling first pass by doing the @Beaker Tek
Get your cannabinoid layer into a hep/hex solution. Then add equal part methanol, then louche with water to a 5% methanol to water. Repeat this 5-6x (it’s a whole bunch of water. Like 100+L for 1kg of distillate). But the resulting distillate is the cleanest tasting/smelling first pass I’ve ever had.

What are the measurements for a ounce to a half ounce of distillate ?
~14ml and ~28ml?

Ok so the full 14 gs with 28 ml ethanol to make the carbon scrub ?
sonication is a good method. Or so I have heard. Where I work no one has time to remove the smell. I think Wipe film disty smells pretty bad, but its like a good bad smell.
