You could use any of the alcohols or acetone. I imagine you could just use some isopropyl, theoretically adding some water would make the ISO more polar and would allow more waxes to drop out of solution. Once the solution is winterized and the waxes have been filtered, you can dry the solvent...

I think you can use a solvent recovery pump like the one they had in the picture to pump it back into your tank of r600. Also I imagine you just keep purging at room temp until it honeycombs up inside the chamber, or you could heat it a little more and purge it till it's a translucent sap or...

I wish I could say I was familiar with they're setups, but I don't own a closed loop system myself, I just have a basic understanding of how they work. The butane is siphoned from a tank of r600 into your solvent recovery chamber which is the smaller one. You pack the large chamber and seal it...

Haha that part about the car gave me a good laugh, I've been struggling with the same decision. :)

Oops I forgot to add the link :o http://bhogart.com/product/1-lb/ Most of the companies generally just make them with a single column as just offer them in larger sizes. This same company sells a system designed for 2.5lbs as well as a 5lbs system. Also I have seen a multi chambered cls...

I'm pretty sure the sugars would be left behind during the distillation of the alcohol when they process it. I think some people just try to pick out things in other peoples tek's to make themselves look superior. IMO I don't see any reason to use food grade ethanol because I just buy a fresh...

Lol I should have payed a little more attention although your being in canada doesn't mean a thing, but it seems like your mind is made up on buying one all ready to go. It kinda depends what your budget is but this one looks nice considering it's meant for 1lb at a time and it's only $1,500...

They really aren't that complicated pieces of machinery, you could just follow the instructions skynkpharm has for any simple cls and buy all the parts. I'm assuming there's a local metal worker/machinist in the area you can take the pieces to and have them weld it up nicely. It would take a...

So it's safe to say they've already switched hoses and tubes and it's safe to buy? I'm thinking of buying one of the hoses and a 30lb tank of butane so I don't have to buy cans by the master case.

Did that company ever convert their hoses to PTFE? I'm considering getting one of these but obviously don't want to have rust in my extract.

I'm a little confused could you clarify for me, are you just using the fittings to connect your glassware to the to the apparatus? And if so where is it going to connect? I'm looking at a heating mantle/magnetic stirrer right now and I'm thinking of getting a cold trap and a 1000ml rbf to go...

I think for co2 to be effectively utilized as a solvent it needs to be cold enough and/or pressurized enough for the gas or solid to be a liquid so it can saturate the material and dissolve the trichomes in the same way butane does. Basically it can't be done just because it takes a serious...

I bet the alcohol you distill from the extract is gonna be carrying some of the more volatile aromatics so theoretically you could reuse the same alcohol for a couple batches of extract, then dilute it and make yourself some damn fine liquor. :) Also your setup is badass, I like how your...

Haven't read anything of the like, haha. It's an interesting idea but I think it would be better accomplished in a pressure vessel or something like that, I think closed loop systems that are designed like your littlefoot are more or less meant for a solvent that can be both evaporated off very...

All the scientific literature I've read relating to the isolation of cannabinoids from crude extracts claims that DCM and chloroform are the most efficient solvent for the extraction of cannabinoids so post your results if you would :) I'm gonna get around to making chloroform finally so I can...

Well it's hard to say, the chamber as a whole looks pretty legit but the temperature of the oven could fluctuate, which would be a problem if your trying to achieve a certain consistency so it would be important to measure the temps to know how much it fluctuates if at all. Now all you need is a...

Yea it looks like the metal hose has a female connection that would screw right into the male connection on the vacuum pump. Looks like it would fit my pump nicely so I hope I helped lol

Oh my lord, your gorgeous.:shock:

Idk I guess it could be considered advanced but it's not as advanced as a closed loop system. Also you could use the mgso4 on the solvent carrying your extract to remove any water that is pulled from the surrounding area when the dry ice is in contact with the alcohol, but you would need to...

It works better when you distill your alcohol over the MgSO4, instead of attempting to pass it through the MgSO4. :/
