Mahalo. I’ll read put those on the reading list.
I’d have to agree, experience is the best way to learn. Mistakes are how I learned the most in life…

For the record; Pentane is the 5 carbon hydrocarbon that comes after butane (C4) and before hexane (C6)…so the “or” makes zero sense.

Yeah I meant to say “other” hydrocarbons… as in butane… or possibly hexane, heptane… I know a few others have been playing around with other hydrocarbons and alkanes with decent results. I’ve personally done both pentane and butane but truly meant to say other hydrocarbons…
For example: I’ve seen j12, diamond alchemy and others many, many others rex in pentane. Mellow labs does a great job of recrystallizing in butane… 710st posted some stuff on his page that was clearly a reX. Hinting that he was using solvents other than pentane to do a recrystallization.

Ethanol Budder. One with and without flash. The concentrate is not nearly as dark as it looks in the picture, damn camera. It looks like very light peanut butter in real life. I love how the same concentrate can behave almost 3 different ways. Probably my new favorite form of ethanol concentrate.

Pure THCa is just a crystal/molecule. I would argue that it has a rather chemical taste. Just my opinion tho. Maybe my taste buds are deceiving me… little bastards.

Been doing lots of trials with pentane and I think I’m getting it down. 105deg for 15hrs made some nice sharp stones. Gonna scale up on the next run. I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is go check my diamonds

Figured I would add my troubles as well. Got 2 jars like this… don’t even wanna pick them up lol so close to blowing and loosing it all. Anyone have tricks to reduce pressure of butane once at this stage. There is no bleeding pressure off at this point I feel cuz that intern creates more pressure from bubbling. Any experience would be greatly appreciated.

Cool it off so it’s not emitting so much pressure

I did take it off heat last night, I just didn’t know if there was a way to get a new lid on without restarting essentially. Or am I just screwed and hope for the best and don’t touch.

Chill it below your solvents bp and imo you would be good to open them.
That’s just how I process it in my head. Idk how it will actually end up working
Didn’t see @Dred_pirate comment.
But yeah…I would have shit seeing that lol

This is what I was thinking but didn’t know if it would mess up the process. I’m not science smart I just watch with my eyes and ears lol
