I have had to break out the toxicology math on this one a lot recently. I have calculated it would take ~10 kg of distillate to give you a lethal dose of HCN from Myclobutanil, assuming 100% efficiency in conversion and absorption.
Cadmium hydroxide has a boiling point of 300°C/572°F

How concentrated are we calling the Mycobutanil in the distillate?
Would you mind sharing your math?
Does anyone out there think this could be related to extraction labs not fully winterizing there product? Can cannabis lipids cause lipoid pneumonia?
Bho isnt as winterized as distillate
Most carts are disty based vs bho

For VAPI, no. The Mayo Clinic didn’t find lipoid pneumoina.

I agree. However Distillate can be produced using BHO, CO2 or EtOH and if not done correctly the two former solvents can pull a ton of lipids that go right into the distillate in SPD.

sure does, that’s how you get the “green” fraction at 1st.
Most of us properly do a disty run and never see the green
Sorry to tag ya in, just ask @Betroit
I’m confused. Are you saying that plant lipids do or do not pass into distillate in SPD?
If they do, it’s super minimal. We are still trying to figure out the last 10% of a 90% labbtested distillate.
Bho is about 65%, what makes up the last 35%?

If a sealed vape cart is under vacuum after a drag. Wouldn’t that lower the boiling points of metals such as cadmium, lead and/or any other chemical?

not that much. And vape carts do not experience intense vacuum.

There cant be a vacuum in a vape pen. How do you take a hit?

I was under the assumption that there is slight vacuum even with air holes

When you take a hit is when there is slight negative pressure

If theres negative pressure, would that not allow the oil the back flow out of the air intake holes and onto the battery contact?

I have seen oil back flow and make contact with the battery contact. It’s not until the battery won’t ignite that I unthread the cart and clean the contact

The negative pressure comes from the tiny amount of air flowing up thru the intakes being less than the amount of air being pulled by the draw. the air flowing in stops the oil from leaking out

I’m still not convinced. If that were true, (I’ve tested about 6 cart types), carts would not oxidize if it were under vacuum. Ascent carts, take 3 weeks before it starts. Ccell knockoffs take 4 days. Others fall inbetween.
I have jars of distillate vac sealed and absolutely zero red ring
