Riiiighttt...... The oil travels back, as SOON as I turn the pump off.. and the faster I equalize the pressure, the more violent the flow is.....oil shouldnt do anything to rubber. jsut rinse ur lines out real good!..the over flow back into ur chamber is gnarly dude! i over filled my vac when i first bought it and all it did is blow more exhaust vapors out, never came up my line!...it doesnt even make sence to me dude! is it flowing up while ur vaccing? cause that line should ALWAYS be sucking air not pushing oil up it lol. r u leavein ur chamber under vac pressure after ur turn ur vac pump off?!? cause if u are it only makes sence that the chamber is pulling air back into it with oil straight out of ur vac!..once u turn off ur vac disconnect the lines and release the pressure rite away! i never let my chamber sit under pressure!..hope this helps dude cause thats some shitty shit! lol
I turn off the pump, and start turning the nozzle off to equalize the pressure and I hear the same boiling sound you hear in a tea kettle... then flows back into my chamber....... This last time, I managed to deal with it by raising the chamber higher than the pump I was able to have some flow back down, then I had to slowly equalize and watch the pump oil fizzle in the recessed part of my vacuum chamber.. This last time, I was ready for it to happen, so the only part of my clean chamber that was exposed was the little eraser sized area where the air gets sucked through.
the first time though it blew up back into the chamber and all over the ceiling of the chamber (missed the hash oil some how went around it and didn't drip back).... I was not expecting that, but to be fair I think I had my hose hooked up to the wrong port (the side one)
I would give this up, and consider it a $300 loss..... if this oil wasn't SO DAMN GOOD!
I feel like these electric pumps just dont mix well with food-safe hash oil.... when you consider all the PUMP oil back up im having.... it doesn't seem worth it, or safe in the long run...
For now I sit on these 8g I have and wait til i'm at like 3g to think critically about it
Should I return this pump TOO? I got a 2 year extended warranty on it! Guy said I can run it over with the car, bring it back, and get a new one
Thanks for being in this discussion Gnome Grown!
I think I might whip my next batch to get away from this electric vacuum that backs up oil......I love vacuum purging, but this is some serious bullshit
OR if FDD2BLK makes a thread, giving away a free pipe to whoever lets their oil dry..... then thats what I will do ..... (get on it faded! I'll make a run on thursday / friday for an oil spoon! )
