PSA: Vacuum Pump Safety

I remember pulling vac on my Büchner funnel while I stood over it pouring a 12” pot of butane/extract with b80 in it to filter the b80 out. Man was I lucky. I must have poured 100s of #s of butane through that little funnel and rotary vane pump. This is before tri clamp sintered discs existed.
