Shitty drawing but do you see what I was saying about the tee?
Tee beneath your big valve won’t change your process. The ports on your system probably aren’t threaded all the way through, and they would need to be for you to connect a dip tube to one of them from the underside of the lid.
looks like he’s got a spare 1/4 NPT female in the lid, so he’s golden.
otherwise going in through a tee like that is certainly do-able, and can be accomplished more cleanly with a bored through fitting (I often make my own). you can also get these Tri Clover Compatible X Compression Adapters from Brewers Hardware which sometimes get the problem solved.
Edit: for low pressure applications (not butane!), you can swap the ferules for an oring, and make an adjustable dip-tube. I’m about to bore through a couple of 1" fittings to make an adjustable hight sprayball. as I’ve yet to meet a hand set 1" fitting, I might even stick with the stock ferrules…
I completely disagree. Especially in that environment, it is imperative that you recover all of your solvent. That will give you a big web of crinkly stands. Freeze and scrape, homie.
@Graywolf called it cotton candy tek. Please don’t blow up.
When I watched my first run at @Pharmer_Joe 's lab, I watched the scraping and was like “forget that!” Joe said, I" pay a guy to do that. It’s a terrible job."
But he never blew up his neighborhood. It’s a trade off.
I wasn’t arguing against safety, I was telling him to be polite to you. That’s all. Addressing the safety of his extraction area will require my morning coffee.
Ive looked into pricing like this before… unless that base has some kinda sentimental meaning then I could understand but it’s basically same price if not cheaper for new base
