Teach you all I know and get you going just say when
I am in Amsterdam

Ok I get what your saying. So the volatile fraction won’t stick to the head condenser and contaminate the main body as it comes over. That makes a lot of sense, thanks for clearing that up for me. It would probably help with smell quite a bit compared to a triple cow setup. I agree about usalabs. They do seem to have really good customer service and good about returns or replacement. It’s so cool to have this board and be able to share the best vendors and knowledge. Really amazing how muc…

[Thelabrat]

thanks bro ill be up early , gonna carbon scrub the crude and decarb first as its still in freezer from when you last gave advice, gonna try your way etc .

[Roguelab]

When decarbing be prepared for a lot of smell people in our. Situation must be carefull with that

[Thelabrat]

yes mate it does smell but ive only made RSO ive extraction setup now , hopefully that will help with any bad aromas during SPD

[Thelabrat]

Thanks bro

[superhotgen]

I always put my material in mason jars and then in the oven. It will reduce a lot of smell.

[Roguelab]

It a a lot more so prepare

[Roguelab]

Decarbing is a thermic reaction producing co2 gas capping your jars might make them pop

[superhotgen]

then it appears i have been lucky When you are evaporating your solution (for example ethanol) over heat, is the material not decarbing that moment as well?

[Thelabrat]

according to rick simpson it does ,
however when making RSO i just followed his method then placed in oven @120c for 30 mins to ensure full decarboxylation etc.

[Roguelab]

Yes but extremely slow decarbing is done in the 120-140C range

[Thelabrat]

to be precise from a decarboxylation chart i found it should be 122c for 27 mins

[Thelabrat]

i might do my next decarb on mantle roguelab instead of oven , better temp control etc and its reday to SPD then once it cools .

nothing attached to BF etc 130c until no sign of co2

@Thelabrat
