Side note
@Killavolt
What coolant are you using? My glycol I have is clear. The blue would deffinately help to visually see if theres a leaky gl line or the like.
I think ill fly you and @Killa12345 to Detroit in Jan or Feb to assist me in my 1st spd run.

I just set the heatgun up on a retort stand I forgot I had…so it’s hanging out there blasting 150C heat at the condenser…working well so far.
but fuck this is a slow process…

Yep but looking good
Ok temp mantel and vac depth ?
229C and vac depth is still at about 245 microns.
Between passes You can do a cleanup
A simpel but exelent one is @Beaker
Hexane methanol and 3 % by volume water wash
I don’t have nor can I find hexane anywhere.
Ok this clearly indicates your vac lines are to long
The gauge Gives a 230 Reading but in your glass You are probably around 450/600 microns looking at the temp You are running
O No worrys by the way finish is what matters now
your going to want to get a heat lamp set up on that drip tip to keep things moving. you dont want to clog during your run.

its been a long day…again…
i started t like 11am, it’s now just about 5pm and I still have a long fucking way to go before I have all the good stuff collected.
Question, how do I know when to switch the flask to the tails flask, and how do I know when I’m fully and completely finished?

Yeah the golden question
Do You know what strain You are running
I see My glass wear getting an orange heu When boiling splatter onto iT
Strains with cbd tend to do this early
There Will be a slight color change And temp in the head around 220 is most likely
But You should be able to calculate volume
Say crude at 60. % cannabinoid
So 600 ml from what You have is iT
Once your collection flasks start reaching that volume You know end is near

Most of us keep all Our boiling flask remains until suficient and give iT a pass to collect remaining cannabinoids
Beter to stop early than late
Yet You should realy push for You Will Need every drop for 2 pass to create vapor pressure
