300*c and the grease releases toxic gasses.

And if anything you should be able to pick out the little bit of vacuum grease with a dab tool. There shouldn’t be that much getting into your product

simply “picking it out” will not do here, there are particles of the grease you cannot see with your naked eye.

Best way to remove vac grease?

hexanes/pentane will remove the grease too. I am wary of smoking “clear” from others, lots of grease contamination. I often seen people online pour clear out of flasks with grease still on the joints. This is my method: use ptfe sleeve and some thc distillate on the boiling flask joint/ thermometers/flasks on the reciever.Use grease on your cow only if your product cannot make contact with the grease, otherwise use distillate and the ptfe sleeve. make sure you zap it with a heat gun before you…
