Toluene is indeed less convenient than chain hydrocarbons, presumably because it promotes the first exotherlic step, increasing heat.
But I believe hydrocarbons rather rank in the reverse order: pentane < hexane < heptane. Interestingly, this would folow the same order of their heat capacity. 
You would do the community a favor dooing a hot run with dry mgso4 in the flask and sending that of as well
Yust a copy of any one of the runs you already have done with the same parameters
Only this time with mgso4 in the flask and a longer reflux time fairly convinced you will have a cleaner product
I’m happy to. I ordered supplies today. Hopefully by Thursday I’ll start posting parameters and results. Sent off 4 samples of varied sop runs to @kcalabs today. Will also share these results with associated run parameters and inputs.
Bake them in an oven overnight, an hour before you want to use it, take them out of oven and into a desiccator. Cool for an hour in an anhydrous environment. Then put a septa/stopper in them immediately. Not empirical in any way but it works lol
Whatever happened to this?

Suggested d9 free in DCM with pTSA at room temp for 36 hours yielding 94% d8.
Well we’ll find out what a 24 hour RT run will yield here soon!
Would using 86%D8 for edibles be dumb? Should I just toss the last of my jar?
Get a column, some media, some ether and some petroleum ether and clean it up!
I’ve been considering it. Wouldn’t know where to start well I do I’ve been reading but as far as understanding what equipment is at my level of operation is what’s holding me back.
Start here?
Edit: link cleanup

So this some silica and those two chemicals.
Will hunt some literature.
Run pet ether : ether on silica @ gradients 99:1, 98:2, 90:10.
Alternatively, try cyclohexane:dcm at 8:2 on silica.
Get the best silica you can, short of a more specific suggestion by the community i suggest you get the 0.015-0.04um silica 60A; amazon has some for about $400 last I recall
Can you place this in the datadump as well please !
Glad more people are trying this. Never tested my fractions (only ran a few grams for experimentation) but there was definitely a difference between the fractions (high wise).
Have to run it again
I believe it should already be there.
I know we all smoke a shit ton of weed, but this was a hot topic only a few months ago
I don’t think anyone cared too highly about compliant d8 at the time as a lot of discussion focuses around the d9 numbers.
Thanks brother, wow I’m going to get this shit going small scale I found the sane silica on another couple sites for 119 a kg for a 2000ml column should I go with 2? Is it reusable?
Yes it’s reusable if you flush it very thoroughly. You’ll likely find your fractions behave differently after the first use because it’s very tough (read: fuckload of distillation) to get the polar solvent completely out though.
Does anyone already made an COA of the SOP posted by @Roguelab, I’would be very intrested to see the TAC and unknowns of the crude oil before destillation
I wonder know what is the viscosity of D8
