Very nice, thanks for sharin
We did testing on the inital and 1 day and post 4 days of exposure to sunlight during summer when UV indexes are high…
On day one we detrcted small degradation but day 4…
Lets just say the chromatogram was a rainbow of degraded products…
So far that we could identify just hints of thc and the other things were unknown and unidentifiable…
From my end if it turs red you went overkill, wount do it any more. Rather a 0.5% dash of carbon although most might not agree
waxy diarrhea
Does look like someone ate a candle
at least they chewed it well
If you hire me on I’ll make sure no extract coming out of your outfit looks this way ever again
Any way you can get a crc setup ?
Basicly a filterplate and some bentonite clay of either
Carbon chemistry T5
Or by oil dry B80
Clays from @Waxplug1 will probably also get the job done
Other option dissolve your wax in pentane
1 wax :5 pentane minimum
Pass treu a Büchner funnel with a prewetted
(Pentane) bentonite cake
Go easy on the vacuum level for your pentane will boil out fast
To avoid this you can freeze your pentane solution and place your suction flask in a ice bath
This is something I made when I first got my machine. It’s been in the back of the cage for almost a year. I pulled it out today thinking of playing with the Buchner funnel after reading some posts here, but I wondered. What happens if I set it out in the sun just like it is? Answer: It all melted together into a waxy green mess. I got busy and forgot it was out there.
I’ve got all the goodies now and we make fairly good stuff. Media Bros made my life so much easier. Learning and reading here has made it all start to click.
Hexane and pentane have me curious. I don’t have a rotovap. I do have a short path starter set, but it’s more tinker toy than production rig. I’ll start searching for posts on using these two solvents. Thanks for piquing my curiosity. That’s why I like posting here. Ideas and rabbit holes are everywhere.
Is that a bypass valve on your crc?
Seems like you have a filterplate setup in the rig
Not sure if it’s your molsieve chamber
But you could always dissolve the wax in butane and pass it inline treu the bentonite
Are you aware of CRC tech. It s a interesting tech of passing dissolved cannabinoid extracts treu powders such as bentonite
Yes, it has a pair of 1/2” valves and bypass line. I don’t have it configured that way. I have it set up to pull vacuum at the bottom and to push with nitrogen from the top. I’ve never had an issue with plugging with Media Bro’s. Am I missing something?
This is the CRC.
This is my mol sieve

He was asking about that monster manifold you have at the top. The car part you installed.
oh. That’s getting replaced this week. I ordered a pile of fittings from OSS. They were having a sale, so I ordered a bunch of stuff that might come in handy. Tees, elbows, valves. It’s time to tidy everything up and stop swapping vacuum and N2 lines around.
Hey nice setup may i know if its possible to bleach kief without losing weight? My kief is little green and i want to turn yellow or more golden. Isopropyl is enough to bleach chlorophyll color or i need more complicated equipement ? Thanks
The green is NOT kief.
It can be removed with electrickery
What happens when you put kief in isopropanol?
Isopropanol is a polair solvent
It will strip your cannabinoids from the kief
As for beeing polar it will darken the kief considerably
If a solvent must be used on kief I recomend propane or butane with dry ice cooling but this is only for loading
Product on the kief and NOT for color enhancement
This is the treuth now I am assuming
You are working with EU cultivated biomass where the lack of knowlidge and greed are both an isseu
Quality kief from eu compliant chemovars is hard to come by
Repass the kief over a 40 mesh net to
What falls treu is NOT kief what stays on top IS kief
