Yeah I don’t think it’s actually silicon. Looks and feels very similar to my ptfe gaskets but I dare not make that claim. I emailed the company last week and still no response.
Yeah the gas does reflux but doesn’t actually touch the lid. I do get some bubbles occasionally that pop and get on the lid a bit, but nothing that would actually drip back down into my concentrate.
you cant see it, but it is evaporating off the surface of the liquid and condensing on the lid. Gas fills all available space, it has to touch the lid.

Unless you find jars w SS lids and PTFE liner then there technically isn’t a jar for the job

Just googled it lol
“This Greenwood Products straight-sided jar has a soda-lime glass body and a white polypropylene screw-on cap with a PTFE-faced liner. The wide-mouth jar accepts large solid samples, and has straight sides that allow for complete removal of contents. The white polypropylene cap is suitable for use with solids, mild acids, alkalis, solvents, alcohols, oils, and aqueous solutions. The cap has a PTFE-faced liner that provides chemical resistance to strong acids and solvents, and a foamed polypropylene liner base that provides secure sealing. The soda-lime glass body provides resistance to heat, shock, and thermal expansion. This bottle is suitable for storing soil and environmental samples, and for use in mixing and storing liquid or solid samples, including acids and solvents.”

Is it food grade nitrogen or is it nitrogen I can just pick up at a welding supply store did oxygen work better or should I use a mixture
High purity or food grade will do. Both are at the welding store

Just curious what was weight of original starting material.? What are the yields typically when doing diamonds ? I was gonna do one this week just wondering what type of yield should I expect ?
From finished crude i return 25-35% diamonds for example 100g crude 25-30 grams diamonds not including extra solvent weight .
hope this helps .

Thank you yes it does help thank you . So basically 25-35% of your starting material is your return jeez those #s don’t really sound that great if your using really good material. I thought I was gonna hear like 50-60% out of adding solvent to already made concentrate . Oh well I guess that’s why they cost so much huh? Lol 
thanks terpmaster I appreciate the help
Other portion still tests over 50% thc so its quite possible that im not getting it all on my first crystallization also on first crystallization diamonds are testing over 95% thca so super clean

So I’m gonna attempt this here in a day or two but I start with bio material and make shatter usually but I want try this let me just run thru steps and correct me if I’m wrong I’ve never done this . So I must have everything at cryo temp right blast tube etc
Then you send bho liquid thru filter media for fats ? Then put back on dry ice in jar with lid cracked to maintain cryo for 8hours or So then seal when 1/3 solvent is left an put in dark corner away from everything for couple weeks ? Sorry is that correct I’m assuming the room temp for the two weeks is equivalent of warming a miner?

I do not filter i just run cold as possible . Hard to say how much to let evaporate, the residual butane will be more or less on different runs. Its really the constancy your looking for thin as possible without blowing lids .

I just pour from the CLS into a jar and leave it for a few weeks, then pour the terps off and purge separately… It’s as simple as that. You’ll get the hang of the consistency with a few runs under your belt.
