Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

I was wondering about that. How did you make the dabs? Alcohol?

Three-stage process.

1) extraction with hexanes followed by solvent recovery.
2) Short-path distillation under pump vacuum.
3) Turns out some of the wax distilled! Imagine my long face when a nonchemist called me on that. I dewax with methanol. The wax crystallizes and is filterable.

After a vacuum purge, I store the resultant bear grease in 5ml plastic syringes. I pulled one aged three to make my latest edible, one 5ml portion adjusted to 100 ml with avocado oil. No noticeable degradation and zero nasty flavor. I eat it plain from a plastic pipet (1ml = 50 mg distillate so at least 45 mg in the am, 2ml in the evening, both usually chased with some fatty food for better uptake).

What happened with the silicone though?
 
Inspectors are such cool people...

This one had two big issues O.o (and then the tens of tiny ones) Seller wants to get it fixed and offer me another walkthrough. I am feeling good about this.

Not enough amps though. Gonna have to upgrade before increasing my grow size >.<

So the Bear grease is already decarbed?

Yes, but in an extraction rig that should not be an issue. It could also be the cheap Chinese silicone used a medieval catalyst. The polymer itself shouldn’t react at all.

It could have been the container. I can see that because I'm sure you have your technique down solid. I saw something with hex and silicone being an issue one day and thought of that....I can't even remember what I was researching. Might have been containers.

I seem to remember silicones will swell in light hydrocarbons. I’d use nitrile rubber, cheap and super available.

flameproof hyd. oil required Viton O-rings, cost more but lasts.

Should you have the need.

"Why is Viton so expensive?"
Why use Viton™? A Viton™ o ring will tend to be significantly more expensive than the equivalent nitrile component. This is because it simply does the job where other products cannot.
