Just picked up one of these for cheap, planning to use it as a final kill step for prerolls prior to testing. It’s a RS 2000 Pro 225, it’s designated for irradiating small mammals and tissue/cells, but I discovered that it can reach Gy doses during normal operations that decontaminate microbials on cannabis. Does anyone have any experience with these? Anything else cool I can do with it?
Ur not gonna find the answers you want here bro. Radiation on cannabis is gross.

Strongly agree - you pretty much only see these things when the weed is so bad you’d have to trash it otherwise.

I’ve used one, and many people who’ve worked in larger companies have. I don’t think the technology is inherently bad, but its application in our space is very inappropriate.
The appropriate application is the nuke perfectly good and contamination-free cannabis so that absolutely no life can grow while on the shelf. If you have contaminated weed, you cannot nuke it and make it good.
Please call Radsource to service or inspect any used or not-from-factory equipment. I heard of some horror stories regarding modified machines and operator safety. This isn’t a toy, and a small mistake will leave your balls glowing.

This isnt my first time using one. I have operated a Kimtron Hi Rad in the past as a final kill step on flower and prerolls. I don’t use it on moldy weed, just to insure shelf life and testing consistency. Any material that is happens o to actually moldy goes to extraction.
