I have crude oil which i seperated it from ethanol from rotovap. From then , i try to do short path , but the result is too bad . It does have terrible stinky smell . I’ve been trying couple time but it still same result - Stinky shit . I use 200 gram of red oil and in the receiving flask it only have roughly 10 ml of golden liquid ( thin like water and not thick )- stinky . Why did i do wrong ? People told me to change the flask but it seem doesnt help , after 180C , the stinky shit come out and that it’s . Not more running .Any help would be appreciate it .
200 grams is too little for that large of still.
Consider using a 500ml boiling flask for an amount that small. Odor is burned terps, what vac level are you acheiving?
