Crystals, and especially nano crystalline formations, are weird fucking things. Dangling bonds are highly reactive to gas phase molecules. I’m sure pi stacking leads to similar interactions.
You’re not cracking this mechanism without some high dollar analytical equipment and a good amount of time.
You’re going to have to be satisfied with determining and eliminating the causative agents for now.
No one here is using pure isobutane, but many of us have used isobutane blends for years without issues. It’s not something that is literally in blends of gas available and used for extractors for 10 years.
Wanna try harder? You sound like you’ve been munching crayons.
The feeling when you talk in an incredibly pretentious manner, but can’t spell the word rubric, or use it properly, or the difference between i.e and e.g…
New tank from Oxarc, first time having this issue. The liquid portion I poured was VERY volatile.
Re-dissolved and it did the same thing again near the end of recovery.
As strange as this is gonna sound, I think I got a clean tank of gas the other day. I should have taken pics, but it recovered all the way down with no issues.
So I’ve been reading, @anon88836658 …albeit only Oxarc from certain distributors …or potentially consumer-contaminated tanks, since some folks apparently use the fill tanks directly for recycling solvent on their systems!
I believe what caused my crash in the collection column; after running my first sock, I let the oil sit in collection column too long before running my 2nd sock. I let it boil down to a way thicker consistency – like after pour out in a mason jar --. Then added my second run atop of that which crystalized the bottom portion (first run) To fix issue - readded solvent and let set for about 1/2 a day. Next run ran great, no issues.
I’ve seen that happen. Mine sat over night. Came in the next day blasted on top of it. Went to finish the run and there was a 110g puck of thca in the bottom
