i’ve been doing 1oz of cold cure or fresh pressed hash rosin in a 16oz mason jar with the lid not fully tightened at 212*F in a ambient temperature vacuum oven at positive pressure until it goes fully transparent, then into the freezer for 1-2hours, then on a heated magnetic stirrer and straight to a cart filler….. but i’m going to be switching things up and i don’t know what to do….is a diamond miner really necessary and will it help, or is a spool with tri-clamp fittings, pressure gauge and PRV sufficent? or is it the same as pulling vacuum in the oven with jar tek? or should i create that system from anonymouse post A Theory on BHO/Rosin Decarboxylation with Natural Terpene Preservation - #26 by CuriousChemist22 ?
I’ve read about centrifuges but came to the conclusion that it doesn’t seperate enough terpenes for it to be worth it and you can just recondense the terpenes by putting the sealed container in the freezer after decard for 1-2hours…..???
Also for temperatures… i’m coming across 245*F for 45min 110*C for 110mins, 80*C for 12hours…. but what truly is the most efficent that doesn’t slows down the process, darken your oil, or degrades terpenes and retains the most terpenes and gets you baked instead of buzzed??? What temps would be best for negative pressure and positive pressure? Should headspace really only be up to 20% max before it becomes counterproductive due to Co2? What are the best specs and best equipment?
