I have a semi-related question. I did my first solvent distillation today, it was a success, I recovered roughly 3lbs into that tank, but while i was doing it the cold bath (Alcohol and Dry Ice) were bubbling madly, as if i just poured the alcohol in. I’m assuming this is normal and just the cold bath cooling the now warmer tank with the warm butane getting converted into a liquid again? Thank you again everyone for being nice to my noob ass. lol

He got you too? He’s so hot right now…

There we go…

If it was truly a 125lb tank, then that was legit. most tanks sold to this industry are labeled based on how many lbs of WATER they hold (100% full)…but some folks actually state how much solvent will fit (100% full).

At this point I don’t trust anything but a tape measure and maths…

Yes, as long as the dry ice is in the alcohol there will be bubbling from the dry ice turning to CO2 gas.

I put my denatured alcohol cans in the cooler of dry ice for an hour with the metal against the block of ice and I think it sublimates less. When I put it in the chiller coil cooler theres no bubbling

I also precool everything in the deep freeze. So it starts around -5

I wish everyone had answers like this guy. Impressive say to least thank you
