What solvent are you using that requires 8 washes?

It has nothing to do with solvent it has to do with math and the strength of your acid and PH of your water

âŚthere is likely some of the bleaching acid still presentâŚ
âŚWho wants to smoke bleach?
If theyâre this worried about âbleachâ in their Delta-8 vapes, wait til they hear about the 20% mystery isomer oil in their products.
Iâm also especially fond of the advice they give consumers:
âreach out to those brands and ask them what color distillate they use in their product.â
Or, ya know, look at the goddamn CoA and ingredient list that have to be made available in most states.
The word you both are looking for in this intellectual slapfight is âequilibriumâ.
Liquid-Liquid works because your compound reaches equilibrium with both liquid phases; HOWEVER, equilibrium doesnât mean 50/50 in both phases. if one of your phases has a higher solubility than the other it will have more of your compound in it when the system reaches equilibrium.
Roiplek is correct in that all of those factors (water solubility, neutralisation capacity, miscibility) affect how effective washes are. If youâre performing 8 washes, maybe there is a better way to achieve your goals rather than brute forcing with water washes.
After you neutralize, you still have the conjugate base of the acid left in your product (in small amounts). It didnât go anywhere, Achieving a neutral pH and completely removing the acid from your material are two different goals that are not necessarily exclusive of each other.

Iâm not neutralizing Iâm washing the acid out which is why what Iâm talking about applies
Diction is everything
Itâs very easy to create an emulsion by neutralization so I water wash the majority of the acid out then hit it with a strong base as the final wash before returning to a PH of 7
Could one argue that d8 is not natrually any color because it has to be converted and therefore the color is determined by the method of conversion? From what i have been reseraching the color is dependent on the pH of the solution and how long it is distilled for?
No where did I ever say neutralize
Whatâs this about not neutralizing?
Iâm not neutralizing the whole solution, 99% of the acid has been removed by water washing
So is it really âneutralizingâ?
Also, RO water has a high PH to begin with so technically Iâm Neutralizing with water
That depends on the filters/ membranes inline on the RO

went to freshbros website, theyâre trying to sell keys of CBD for 1.5k
keys of CBN for 20k
keys of CBG for 7.5k
fucking chads.

except it does not. its pH is around 6.5.
Isnât cbd isolate 450-5?
Cbn 6-7racks?
Cbg distillate 600-1000 iso?

Wrong buddy
Only if you have a deionizer after
Itll come out of the membrane at around 8.5-9
It also depends on your input source but Iâve always gotten alkaline water from my RO
Iâve seen isolate at 99% cbd as low as 325

yeah OK so the entire Internet is wrong⌠i admit defeat!
Youâd be surprised to see what folks are willing to pay when they donât know any better lol.
Thatâs why these scummy companies are all about âconsumer educationâ but then go spout misinformation. âConsumer educationâ in this context means that theyâre âeducatedâ on how and where to come buy their product.

All the posts I flagged had valuable information clouded by personal attacks and name calling.
Both @roiplek and @Kingofthekush420, kindly check your fallacies at the door and carry on like adult men of science
