Seems like an ok pump. Are you going to pump out
an air conditioner? What do you mean, "make wax"?
Maybe I can't help, but I am very curious now, what you want
to do.

Ive heard you can use a hand vacuum pump for purging your wax or oil

You can, but with varying degrees of success...Not to say it wont work, but it might not fully purge all of the butane out of the oil.

OP, Generally you want a two stage pump to achieve deep vaccum when degassing thick fluids like resin.

But when applying great amounts of vacuum, you're gonna want a chamber that won't fail catastrophically. Really not something home made, but rather a chamber designed to be under vacuum.

yes i have such chambers as well as homemade ones that work just as well..... just upgrading to a electric pump my vacuum sealer dose not reach the vacuum pressure i need....i think with the proper fittings and with no leaks i can achieve the negative pressure required with this pump................WAX is the goal i have my technique for gassing the buds down along with my tube size relative to the amount of bud/butane being used and think it is the most efficient out of the ways iv tryed
extracting all the thc

Yes that pump will pull a vacume down low enough. A two stage pump is quicker is all. My techs use single stage pumps to check for leaks and moisture in ac systems. Unless your vacume chamber is huge should work fine. Or you could just let the stuff naturally evaporate which is what i do or after all butane is gone I put mine in oven at 175 for about an .5 hour if in a hurry. But I do fined letting it sit for a week is good.

i use a mityvac brake bleeder, it goes up to about -92kpa and purges my oil into wax after necessary heat purging. you can get a metal one or the shitty plastic one, the handle breaks but its not hard to make one. and id use about 1 can of vector for 7-8 grams.

Lab grade oven with a vacume pump, sounds expensive!! So do you think it increases the potency, or just better taste due to higher extraction of solvent? I am going to try a mason jar next time with my vacume pump. In the past I have just stuck the shit in an oven at 200-250 for an hr or so after the majority of solvent has boiled and then let it sit for a few weeks and let it naturally expire.
