care to elaborate at all big guy ? smart mouth comments weren’t what i was after .I asked a simple question ,maybe you have a reason as to why that’s not a good idea instead bs comments that helped no one… anywhere .here in canada i cant put in shatter from a different starin as it would be cross contamination .so i want to devise a good way to zero in on proper super saturation .keep in mind we make a lot of diamonds already with no complaints, ever, that being said ,consistency among jars from the same batch is something im trying to improve .i may pour 50 to 60 jars in one day and have some variance in crystal formation …all producing thc-a crystals but with in that i may have jars that are a puck and some that are beautiful double facets .
Has anyone tried the 60/20/20 blend? If so what is the ratio for this blend? Is the 60 propane?

It would say it in the tank but I have seen it be n-butane/isobutane/propane

I’ve used really close to that back in the can day . Whip it premium is tri blend
I don’t see any difference when I went to large tnks of 70/30 other than the propane is harder to condense

Thank you, that was explained nicely.
Have you ever tried to stir EtOH at -50C ?
Think about the “on rates” of crystalization steps.
Then think vicosity and diffusion rates, then think molasses .

Sorry to bump an old post, but is iso inherently dangerous to use? Or just works shitty. Like if I want to recrystallize THCa and the only solvent I have available is isopropyl alcohol, should I use that? Or try to use a terp fraction instead?
Alternatively (what I’m doing now) just melt it down in the oven and hope I don’t hit decarb? lol

Dont use Isopropyl alcohol to make diamonds. It wont work well and its not easy to purge because Iso has a relatively high evaporation/boiling point when compared to butane, pentane heptane propane hexane

Thank you for the reply. I see you didn’t mention ethanol, is that equally inconvenient? I’ll probably leave recrystallization to the pros until I do a bit more reading around. I have seen some ethanol diamonds threads I’ll check our again

I think i messed up. I poured off into 2 jars. they both got a bit foamy to start but one turned golden and clear like honey. The other stayed clouded up. I opened it last night and it was all chunky but still small like sugar and was reacting alot. In my haste I combined them?
But its fuuuuun!
Combining them means you added a shit ton of nucleation sites in a otherwise good jar. You also kicked it up a notch with the agitation required to mix jars. I’m guessing you have 1 jar of sugar by now.
i knew that the next day- oops I dont think it matters to me because i dont get any extra for exotic shit. Im purging some to show at cannifest and im sure people will like it. I cant really purge it proper in time but i keep the vac low Im new to crashing and was surprised when i saw it.

good thing is there are no failures just lessons.

Are you trying to argue that ethanol is thick like molasses at -50C…?
The actual fuck? I sure hope I’m just having trouble reading your odd diction as usual. Ethanol’s viscosity sure isn’t changing a lot -40c to -50c.

??? ???
My experience with EtOH at that temp
Is ethanol dry ice mixtures that are rather viscous.
But I have lost context of the quote…
Diffusion controlled reactions have both a temperature coefficient as well as a viscosity factor. …perhaps that is the context??
Calli: you understand that the use of the
Ad hominem is a detriment to one’s own character.
If you wish to crystallize from ethanol solutions at minus 50C please do so. My understanding is that you work in a Butane extraction facility.
What’s up with the Ethanol questions?
Excepting the ad hominem?
If you are really interested in cannabinoid/ethanol solution chemistry
I will refer you to a new post: Surfactantless Micelles and Colloids…just posted last week…
Depend is 200 proof or 190 the viscous
