Tricks of the trade

[Midnightoil]

To get an idea of how much gas escapes from a tightly sealed mason jar. Put it in a turkey bag suck the air out and tie the end of the bag closed.

[cyclopath]

Putting a sealed jar in a vacuum oven and pulling a vacuum in the inside of the jar also works to demonstrate they leak at less than 15psi

[Dred_pirate]

With butane in the jar? If it’s anywhere near the BP of course it will leak. If it’s empty, it would hold a seal on the vacuum unless it’s a used/dirty lid, or has imperfections.

[cyclopath]

No. Empty sealed jar. Pull vac. The air in the jar (at least some of it) vacs out, and the lid is now seal when you take the band off.

Co2/ dry ice sand blaster for sanitizing equipment! Anyone using something like this?

@cyclopath

also works to demonstrate they leak

But I have done those and they don’t leak under vacuum. This is why we can food with them. With positive pressure they will leak, which I agree with. But under vacuum, you’re losing me

[cyclopath]

They are designed to hold vac. Inside.

If you tighten the band, and apply vacuum outside, you have ~15psi positive pressure in the jar.

IF, when you release that external vac, the pressure inside is less than 1 atm in the jar (the lid is “vac’ed” on), you have successfully demonstrated that canning jars leak at less than 15psi pressure differential.

---

If you have higher vacuum outside the jar, it will find its way in…and the jar will keep it there…because that is what they are designed to do

Reclaiming cannabinoids from your dirty dishes….

Clear or triple pass distillate?

Where you been bro? https://clearconcentrate.com/ So, will your old school head accept decarbed thca isolate instead? Maybe. They don’t sound super informed, so it could go either way. If you’re doing this right you never had diamonds. If it’s faster and less effort, and affords equal or greater purity, it seems silly to go the long way round unless you’ve got a good reason. I can’t think of many (minors come free with your hot dog water). The tracking problem (lack of accumulator ta…

These make removing inventory tags from dishes/fixing labels or stickers way easier

When packaging vials (terp, etc), use the foams from cartridges in place of the tucked filters/packing peanuts, etc other people use. Cut them like a cross so they fit very snug in your container and insert your vial into the cart hole. Position the foam halfway down your container so the glass vial floats. Essentially acts like a pelican for your terps. Our post guys are absolute animals with the packages, this is the only way i got breakage to 0 in shipping. (As a plus, you probably have endless boxes of these laying around…)

fuck, missed your post, yeah this ss tumbler media is basically the same price as lab armor beads; $/vol

Anyone have any other recommendations on cheaper bead media?

How about glass beads? found a post elsewhere of someone using cheap soda / boro glass beads, http://www.ceroglass.com/

Anyone have any other recommendations on cheaper bead media?

You can find shot in various sizes

@pdxcanna

Aluminum Shot (1 pound | 98.7+% Pure)

I’m curious if these are the same, they cost about half as much. Maybe the lab armor ones are polished

@pangea

How about glass beads?

I think u want something that disperses heat well. The glass beads might make hotspots on the bottom.
Most metals disperse heat well, some better than others and some are “delayed”.

Sure! Here’s the markdown for the post I had written up:

Here’s an Imgur album I just uploaded a bunch of screenshots to - https://imgur.com/a/24-45-gl45-adaptor-vHJwzqn
But since I know people don’t like clicking on links, here’s a few pictures from the post:

• Stainless Steel Tri-Clamp x Female Joint Adapter [1.5" Tri-Clamp x 24/40 Female] Stainless Steel Tri-Clamp x Female Joint Adapter – BVV
• GL45 open top cap, found on Ebay (example: Open Top Cap GL 45 Blue Lot of 11 | eBay)
• Silicone seals for GL45 caps (cheap on Amazon - Amazon.com)

Now this solution works great for me, but when getting this post ready for yall, I stumbled across something that might work better: GL45 Screw cap with PTFE joint adapter | Laborxing
Its €35,00 ($36 USD), and shipping for me would be like $12 USD. But it looks pretty interesting. If anyone tries it out, please do let me know how well it works.

Trick of the trade tread worthy if you ask me post it there as well please.

You got it.

Hope this helped.

Does anyone having any tips for draining thermal fluid on a jacketed vessel+open bath chiller?(huber cc508)
This cascade vessel currently does not have any shutoff valve on the bottom for the jacket.

I am thinking I will drain the bath first, then the top hose, but then any idea how I can avoid making a mess draining the vessel?

Am I overthinking this and as long as I beer bong the hoses and keep them above the height of the jacket it won’t dump fluid?

Or should I disconnect and drain the top hose and then cap it before disconnecting the bottom?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
I’m gonna just go for it in 20min.
