60 feet away a gas cloud got ignited by fire ants :thinking:

Sounds legit

Dude, gimme a break. You’re fucking rocking a cheap ass hand pump acting like you’ve done this for years. You say you ain’t broke, then spend some money on non janky equipment. Yeah, it’s scary that people might read your post and think this is ok for anyone to try. Your dumbassery is your right, but don’t encourage others to do the same dumb shit.

Hey man, I want to make it clear that I’m not trying to cut you down. Sorry for taking a dick tone, and I do know what you are doing can be done safely. Just not a good idea for your average stoner to experiment with. Sorry for implying you’re a noob n shit. Have a good weekend.

You know all those lights (30k) and 600amps of electricity isn’t cheap. And oklahoma isn’t the place to do what I do and turn a nice profit.

I am just having fun. That is all that matters. And I hate growing flowers. I’m actually getting out of it. Waste of my time.

Hey I completely agree. And you are right. And I’ve never taught anyone ever, how I do what I do because I don’t trust anyone I know not to be idiot.

Respect brother!!!

The fire ant part was a joke. The part that wasn’t a joke was a gas cloud traveled around 20 yards away. I never would have known about the rogue cloud if it wasn’t for whatever unknown ignition source touched off an eight to ten foot fireball. It was more of sharing a story as a cautionary tale to show that we never know what will go wrong until it does sometimes.

Yeah flash chromatography is better imo too but you can do positive pressure filtration with stainless because you don’t really go over 30 psi anyways. IIn fact I turned my cls into an ethanol filtration unit via flash chromatography quite a few times.

Nirogen is a good way to do it but it might take a long time so use a diaphragm pumps positive side and make sure you’re not going above 30psi for the push and don’t use a regular compressor for the push.

No the diaphragm pump trick will not work to push butane, propane or isobutane you’ll kill yourself trying. 100% only use nitrogen to move butane, propane and isobutane

The picture on the Pepsi challenge was from me filtering a bucket tek ethanol mixture thru a dewaxing column at 30psi on a cls setup.

After I switched to flash chromatography I never went back to DCVC(Dry Column Vacuum Cromatography)

I FORGOT TO MENTION PRVS ON YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD BE USED FOR THIS AS VAPORS DO SORT OF BUILD UP.

I wish this forum didn’t have people like you, I don’t care if you read or watch the discussions.
But
Can’t you go do something else for fun rather than play with your life, or talk about how you do so in a thread that’s not filled with people buying beginner sized machines. Maybe on a forum not full of people trying to learn how to extract safely.

Lol
Reading your egotistical bullshit in the morning pissed me off

Saw ur extracts you can get the same results with a crc in a closed loop, seems like it would be slot easier tho no ? And ur grow looks pretty official so I’m sure u can afford a cheap 1lb unit or make urself one even cheaper . And to make the crc U just need a tri clamp spool , filter plate , and a couple filers . I use a 20 micron , 5 micron , and a 1 micron in concession to prevent clogging

Yeah but do you have good life insurance? Do your neighbors have good home owners insurance? Do your neighbors have life insurance?

If you can afford a CLS with a PRV (ik long ass time before edit but this one was important) please do it.

Your safety and the safety of those around you should always be priority number one when doing any kind of solvent extraction with Cannabis. Is what @BigM was trying to tell you.

I wish I could unlike cause I didn’t pick up that this meant you’re filtering liquid tane through a buchner (autism didn’t catch it)

I thought you were winterizing an ethanol mixture.

I only advocate for safe practices and closed loop procedures.

LoL, 20k shed vs 80k peer reviewed lab. 80k would be really bare bones.

Have a word with your insurance agent about whether or not you’ll be covered in the event of your drug lab exploding. :joy:

You said you like to research, you should do some research regarding explosive air mixtures. By pulling atmosphere in with your butane you are absolutely creating a bomb.

You should also look into the way static electricity is generated when a cold solution is passed over glass, or any material for that matter. The fact that static is generated just from something cold flowing through a tube is the main reason everything on a closed loop needs to be bonded and grounded.

:point_up:t2: Closed Loop is the gold standard for a reason. Also op should look at some of my past threads that I posted because I asked a lot of questions that seemed stupid but ended up with some great safety answers.
