THC distilation

Hello !
I’m new, can you help me? I have carried out CBD isomerization several times and each time my oil has a bad taste, I know that I need distillation, but I don’t know what equipment to buy. Can someone explain and show me the simplest and cheapest equipment for THC distillation?

Id start by looking into and understanding SPD, Short path Distillation. The search bar will give back loads of useful info, parts lists SOPs etc.

See: I make terrible distillate....why?

Although just distilling isn’t going to separate the isomers/derivatives you’ve produced.

Which method are you using to produce your “thc”?

Edit: it looks like all the videos posted by @Killavolt in that thread have been taken down (or made private), which is a shame. Used to be a treasure trove on the subject…

you need to stop using SPD and get you a modular wiped filim distiller my dear bro

How is that helpful to someone converting CBD to unknown chemical soup in the privacy of their home?

You have a lead on a $500 WFE?

I use p-Tsa and hexane, sulfuric acid and alcohol. What could be the cause of the terrible taste and color?

How much reading have you done on the subject?

Where? (Reddit & Facebook are generally low quality info).

Tons of stuff here on both isomerization and distillation.

You can get here after distillation

Assuming you have no access to analytics, you might want to learn TLC so you can have some idea on the purity of your work.

I read a lot here on the forum. I used hexane and 1.5% p-Tsa, but it got terribly hot when I added the acid. I later used 1% p-Tsa and it also became very dark. I don’t know anymore

sounds like you didn’t read up on how this reaction should be performed. controlling the temp of that exothermic reaction is mission critical. check these

…and maybe start with EXACTLY what you did. if you tried several approaches, list them all.

if you can’t describe exactly what you did, in a manner that allows others to repeat it, then the likelihood of following someone else’s SOP to a T is low.

my understanding is that sulphuric acid will lead to more side products, but isomerization isn’t a trick I’ve performed more than a handful of times.

the water clear 90+ % D8 shown above was a “training” run. I was in the lab to see the SOP run first hand, so I could teach it to another lab with confidence. had the next guys making very similar quality within the allotted week.

new to SPD? try these:

edit: no, I haven’t read them recently.

Dear Bro, thank you for the quality of your responses…

a sublimator such as @beaker used would be more appropriate than a WFE

yes, you are correct dearest bro and I thank you for replying with a more quality of respense in a time sensistive manner

For me, short-path distillation is black magic… I will have to give up, which is a pity because I have already tried many different things.
Thank you for all the answers

15

Chances are it was pretty close to black magic for these folks too…

…but I don’t disagree, you should probably stop making unknown cannabinoids and huffing them to see what you’ve made until you have figured out how to clean up the reaction

16

Is there any way to clean the oil apart from washing it? Is it possible to bypass distillation?

17

when its time dear bro i recommend a wiped film distiller column over spd

18

buddy, could you show me what this set looks like?

19

Is there anyone on the forum who sells distillation kits? I am asking you for help

@Killa12345 can probably hook it up, so can @goldleaf_scientific @Sidco_Cat @AlexSiegel and a few others.

@AlexSiegel has some really cool tech for budget conscious people
