Sure you can remove mystery oil, but not merceptans (spelling) as easily

They’re quite easy to remove.

The 13X molecular sieve will adsorb a lot of crap, for sure. It also sucks up some cannabinoids, so beware. If you need remediation of resin:alkane solution that contains LP gas odorants (thiols and mercaptans), use clean un-coated copper mesh used in spirits distillation columns. It actually helps to have a little bit of water present, which naturally occurs using butane to extract (even dried) plant matter, so you don’t normally need to add any… but if you do, it’s really just a drop or less per liter of alkane:resin solution.

Tick tock. It’s almost July.

Has anyone else’s airgas supplier reminded them about this ban lately? Mine are not happy about losing all the business.

It’s cheaper anyway.
Does anybody know what ratio of what gas is in what brand of cans?

Still looking for an answer on this ?

colibri is 80/20 to 70/30 and relatively clean.

I’d be interested to know, doesn’t really matter. I intend on buying the best quality gas I can find once I get started in a few months.

Im pretty sure it is a blend. A good way to tell is to compress some in a solvent tank and see what the pressure sits at

A plumbing band holds the cans on. It holds the 750ml cans, dumps mystery oil and passes through a molecular sieve before entering the recovery tank sitting in dry ice. The little red gasket seals the can tip in.
