Do a hot vapor loop with the coil at 60-80f and it’ll dissolve in minutes instead of hours

see: Re-dissolve BHO for CRC @murphymurri actually links to a couple of videos

so what did you use for search queries?

note the spelling on the thread linked above…

I cheated used Search results for '@murphymurri boil' - Future4200

yeah, warm solvent helps…as does agitation. @murphymurri is correct, adjusting the temp/pressure, so you have a solid boil going, is probably the easiest way to achieve that agitation if you don’t have a hash capable liquid pump in your system for circulation.

Sorry, I hope it’s not too obvious just how little energy I put into that response!
Edit: To be honest I still haven’t read past the second sentence of his post… (Note the lack of italics)

I found a bunch of old oil and decided to crc it. It all melted into a small quantity of butane. Im gonna mix it intoa big column of butane prior to crc but you dont need to heat it. All my mixiing was sub zero and no pressure and COLD but it eventually mixed with no heat and it was stiff and stuck to the jar frozen.

are you genuinely curious or just busting balls?

I actually searched “redisolve bho”(yes with that spelling), but I did try quite a few other combos(redissolving crude, etc) and stumbled upon posts like this Looking for a good way to clean up shitty oil without the need for a rotovap - #5 by cyclopath
which no one seemed to have much of a conclusive answer. Or tons about ethanol crude

either way thanks for the useful links.

Agitation is key to making it go fast. Doesn’t need to be hot, either, just warm enough to make the solvent boil. Room temp is sufficient.

I have used 100 micron mesh socks (same as you might use for weed) for when in a new lab and I have to dissolve in a column where sightglasses are not available/possible. The benefit of the socks is that any oil that doesn’t dissolve will still be in the sock at the end of the run, rather than blocking/clogging the bottom of your column. This is also a very easy way to rinse your diamonds if you want those bright clear colorless crystals :sunglasses:

I’ve tried with cold and ran into the same problems. For my purposes that would be to slow and inefficient since it both lowers the ability of butane to dissolve bho and the added cold doesn’t help.

off topic but ive seen a dirty diamonds thread that didnt answer, they were taliking heptane and shit. Will a quick butane rinse of dirty diamonds clean them right up? I was slightly worried the butane could redissolve them?

Can’t thank you enough. I think I will have to rinsing diamonds like that as well.

Cold fast and not too much

it wasnt fast but i got about 5 oz bho dissolved in a jar. I shook it and put it back in the freezer over and over. It had melted past parchment and was stuck in the jar. I used some used w1 powder and thats all mixed in. Ill crc it and hopefully it comes out more clear, im funna make me some gummies out of it.

are instructions on how to wash the damn things…

ive washed them w butane before, I just saw weird suggestions in that thread, I dont even know what heptane is? Im just stuck sitting on it. Novody I know is interested in diamonds.

are you asking?

it’s a hydrocarbon like propane plus butane, only it’s liquid a room temp so it’s easier to deal with.

its like propane plus butane combined…literally.

CH3-CH2-CH3 == propane (3 carbon)
CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 == butane (4 carbon)
CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 == heptane (7 carbon)

cool, I just research what I think I need to, I thought it was a ssociated with alcohol extractions so I never looked it or many other things up yet. I looked and its like 100 for a liter And I only have a handfull of diamonds so ill just do a quick wash of cold butane. Ill prolly just use them as seeds or something because I cant sell it and its covid so noplace to meet people.

Your using W1 on your oil for edibles? I’m too fucking poor to run that shit on sugar leaf for diamonds and sauce. I still think you’re the cops up in here trying to play it cool…

its used w 1 on some dark stuff. I recently raised my prices on edibles from 1 to 2 dollars per 40 mg gummy- they were robbing me, but now its clearer? Are you so rich that you only use w1 once? I agree on your paranoia. I just found a clone source, the company is states away and the clone grower is from my town and the same age??? I called her a cop immediately but its a small world. I was watching a vid of a drag car at a show on youtube today and saw that it was at my favorite local grocery store.

I’m saying I don’t run w1. And I definitely wouldn’t run any powders twice lol.

When you load a CRC column, you do so with the intention of using the powders entirely, in that they will no longer be usable for your purpose. Because when they are…you put fresh powders in. That’s why we all have our batch amounts dialed. After extraction that shit goes into a shop vac bro…never to be used again.

I just saw in another thread that you pay $1200 a month for 400 watt light that produces you an ounce a month.

Your a cop all the way…or a fool

1200 is for a house instead of an apartment which could suit me just fine. crc is not new, the 5 year old threads have it being mixed into a solution and then pulled through a buchner funnel. I was redissolving so I figured the used w1 wont hurt as long as I filter it all back out. I have like 7 filters down to .5 micron but I still may put celite bed under it. I have 20 micron screen to 5 micron to media to 5 micron to fast paper to 5 micron disk, to 1 miron felt to 1 micron disk to .5 micron felt may or may not clean up the slurry. Ive seen powder residue past the 5 microns and felt but not past the last 2 filters. Like I said, its cleaning dirty oil to make the gummy cleaner, thats why everyone agrees my gummies are the best.
