HTE purging

Hash and Stuff Extraction

You could get a gauge with a gate valve attached to it and the vacuum port of a vacuum pump and regulate the vacuum to a specific vacuum level.

I didn’t realize how old the thread is but either way my advice stands

Stick a dab tool in it during purging.

An old thread, but I thought I’d add my two cents.

I jar up my HTE during centrifugal separation, leaving the lid semi loose till end of shift. At end of shift, I’ll grab a mason jar vacuum thingy, vac the jar down, and shake the shit outta the jar to leverage “thixotropy”. You’ll see a foam head suddenly form. Let it sit for a few minutes to stratify, and burp the jar. Repeat a few times and you should be below detectable limits, unless you live in a crazy state. The key is to shake the piss out of it while it’s under vac each time you re-vac the jar.

Ok, this is a completely different approach to what I typically have seen. I have a couple questions for you.

  1. When you say you jar up your HTE during centrifugal separation, do you mean you collect the HTE fraction in a mason jar as the entire batch is being spun? Or are you actively re-spinning the HTE fraction post separation?
  2. Care to elaborate or provide a link to the “mason jar vacuum thingy?” Is it just a special lid that allows you to pull vac?
  3. Are you heating the HTE at all, prior to shaking the jar?

Thanks for the tek, looking forward to giving this a try

  1. You can spin it again if you’d like, asymmetric planetary centrifuges with vacuum capabilities make purging HTE a breeze! Spinning your HTE again for long periods of time in a normal centrifuge can also help you, but not necessarily with purging, and that’s what you’re asking about.

  2. There are many mason jar vacuum accessories, it’s one of the primary reasons why mason jars are still so ubiquitous in the cannabis industry.

  3. Room temp.
