Tricks of the trade

Buying tanks from @Killa12345 with sight glasses
makes that way more legit. Doing that on a tank I can’t see into makes my butt hole pucker.

I should have mentioned that. Those sight glasses are awesome. A visual indication of solvent level gives me the warm fuzzies.

I’ve got a 6x24 hortizonal collection from bhogart. You’re welcome to have if you like bro.

It’s a bitch to clean, so I’d use it for the bulk solvent evap then move it on to your 6x12

I been thinking adding 2 - 6x6 spoolz to my collection…that way I have 6x6 base to clean out from.

I have 2 - 6x12 tanks

I need bigger tank but I love being able to peg the gauge on zero w 70/30 mix

is it solid 6x24 that would be badass actually

I could make a t at my injection and inject from both 6x12s at once then

I have rack being made also

also how would u move it to next tank do u geta lid w dip tube or something

I think i could def use it though

I’d plan on just pushing from 1 tank into the next then into your system

@Indofab @Soxhlet
dm me w quote to add spout (NPT outlet Male) something I could screw valve onto and empty the 6x24 base wwithout having to break it all way down

so its 6x24 that needs npt Male outlet welded onto the base near bottom to empty it out. how much to add the Male NPToutlet

It’s all there already buddy

Even though I’m out of big tanks for the time being. I do have some 25lb tanks with 3/8” the same as the boys got in this thread with sights as well

I’m in love with that 50 lb tank. I’ll need another at some point. Do you anticipate more soon or are they out a ways?

This is what I do, I really only have to do it a couple times. After there is enough cold solvent in my tank it stays at damn near full vac.

And it fucking rips doesnt it.

Indeed it does. I wouldn’t run my system any other way.

I’m ready for some upgrades in other areas though. Second solvent tank to act as supply tank, 6” material column, 2nd material column, jacketed collection with bottom drain and jacketed spools for my sieves…

lmk how much it is, dm me :green_heart::facepunch:

dibs!!! @Killa12345

is this really needed?

what does it help w? distilling a bunch of solvent and have it ready

that’s the only benefit correct

@StoneD inject and recover at the same time. Very useful when running 60 lbs of solvent. Begin recovery while injection is still taking place. It should help to relieve collection pressure and inject faster as well.

@Hansel I am in the middle of a similar upgrade. Building my solvent manifold now to vapor push from column to column. Super excited. Stainless is expensive though…and I am broke.

I’ve never thought doing this.

esp considering I dont even have my recovery side hooked up while injecting. to many hoses everywhere. plus I’d need way to pull vac so I’d have to add t somewhere to pull vac when all lines are hooked up. when injecting I pull vac from recover port. when recovering I pull vac on vapor side of my emptied solvent tank,( I inject and recover through the dip tube)

is there any disadvantage to this?
anyone?

also I noticed once I get about 40lbs dry ice dissolved into 5 gal denatured alcohol for slurry it finally is so cold it stays -40 to LO on IR gun. also it stays cold much longer and cools my tank much faster. it literally pins the gauge all way w 70/30 tane/ pane

It’s a game changer. That’s for sure
