Ok so I’m on a quest to turn my usual snap-and-pull into a more stable shatter. I finally got my buchner funnel and I was about to give winterizing my first go, but it literally shattered before I got to use it lol.
So I had an idea but I was hoping to get some feedback on whether or not it might work the same.
So I was thinking I would use my 6" diamond miner as a base.
Last I was going to put some ashless filter paper on top the 150 micron SS screen that the filter plate came with, and secure it in with the compression clamp.
My biggest concern is that the filter plate doesn’t have much room to pour in the solution, could I just pour a little at a time?
If I pull vacuum on the diamond miner, could I use this just like a buchner funnel?
This sounds like a really expensive way to skin this cat. You can get the parts you’re using for much cheaper elsewhere. At least the diamond miner, since you don’t need everything else that comes with it.
dont spend the money if you have all that shit already. you might try to find a way to run into a carboy or bigger flask so that you arent emptying that diamond miner every 30 seconds.
a 3" filter isnt much surface area. how much tincture are you filtering?
Oh and I believe it is pure ethanol, the extract shop near me gets there stuff through bestvaluevacs.
They also have some stuff called 710 extraction solvent that I was wondering about because it’s almost half the price. They claim it’s a 95/5 mix of ethanol denatured with n-heptane.
although with just a miner, a reducer, a 3" filter plate, and a closed column, I think you’ve probably already exhausted the possibilities for your tinker toy set.
