Dont forget to vac seal the jar. Find a jar with as little head space as possible also
Great work!

Are you referring to the gas ballast?
I was yes, my mistake. Long day at the office yesterday.

Plugged up the boiling flask thermometer joint and stuck the mantle thermometer between flask and mantle as I saw a few people suggesting in another thread.
Tried out the hot alcohol spray on a few joints to look for leaks as @spdking suggested and that helped a lot thanks bro
Also, we got rid of those stupid plastic fittings that screw onto the cold trap and cow and forced the silicon tube over the glass threads.
All of these things helped get our vac waaaaay down so I highly suggest all of these tricks to anyone having issues with leaks!

Hey @Backyard_Boy , what connection did you use to adapt your 12CFM pump to KF-25? I’m pretty sure I have the same pump, looking to switch over to stainless steel connectors.

So I actually bought the pump from Xtractor Depot in LA and it already had a KF-25 fitting attached to it…
Check with @Killa12345 he may have a kf25 to male 1/2” pipe thread which I believe is the size for that pump (I could be wrong so double check the threading on yours)
As I understand you open it up and it essentially opens a small leak to the system which allows volatile contaminants to off gas from the oil.
I’d wager that the stall in the freezer is doing nothing for you other than wasting time.
you need to reduce your initial solvent volume in order for winterization to be effective. especially if your freezer is warmer than your extraction.

Does it is distillate?
Yesss
