YOC DIRTY DIAMONDS TEK
.
we first released this tek April 2019 at Hash Bash 2019, here it is for anyone who missed it
.
MECHANICALLY SEPARATED THCA .
PRE-NUCLEATED MATERIAL:
.
load the fritted separation tubes with nucleated material, be sure to weigh each tube out equally to balance the weight, otherwise you will offset the centrifuges balance.
.
Due to the speed of the centrifuge, A solvent is not required.
.
use the 4,000rpm VIKING GLASSWORX lab centrifuge and fritted separation tubes to separate the sugar from the sauce.
.
average separation time is 1-2 hours
.
You can then recrystalize granules to larger diamonds in a hydrocarbon solvent or use as is
…
QUICK NUCLEATION:
.
you can quickly nucleate any form of extract including crude by dissolving it in pentane, 10% by volume seems to work fine (more dense extracts may need a bit more) pentane is easily removed via vacuum
.
put into a covered pyrex dish and place on a digital heat mat or lab oven at 89f for 24-72 hours.
.
Please note, a solvent is not required if the solution is already nucleated, pentane is just used to assist and rush nucleation.
.
the centrifuge can also dry larger diamonds without a solvent
.

.
Lab Grade Pentane - available in 1 gallon and 5 gallons (call for prices)

Hey guys! Love your product but I don’t like the idea of using such a micro scale tool. Please make a bigger one without disposable frit. Not trying to hate I just want to process batches of 2 L at a time
I used a panda to do the same thing, but failed because all I had was a 6 inch reducer. The panda can handle a 4 inch reducer safely.
You can get about 3 uses if you use heat and pop it out and pop it back in, we have prototype’s of those other styles and have not found a ilter media that works the way we need it to
ok gotcha why don’t you have that company just have make a fritted disc that will fit in the insert. the ones i have work but not well cause the micron is too small i think. but the inserts work
Yes, this is the solution. Then you can get the sauce out without cutting the tube apart. What is the ID of that tube insert? I bet a perfectly sized frit could be sourced. Then all you need is a cheap bench fuge and your in biz.
