yea if you look on their site it's described as a VRV. just dropped the dough on the air compressor and went to the tami site and picked up a schrader valve (apparently it's something i need to add pressure). i also picked up 2 packs of the o-rings in both sizes. out of curiosity, do you only use the rings once or have you tried multiple w/out issue? also have you added pressure urself b4? i mostly want to be able to keep the whole thing really cold and minimize the difference between the butane in the rec.tank and the rest of it. i am thinking have the column at sub-zero at the rec. tank at like 5 deg or refrigerator temp. am worried that w/out a little pressure the contact time will be too long. had to disconnect and drop the rec. tank in a pot of hot water to get my last extraction going w/ decent speed. am curious if you use a carrier solvent. i have a buchner funnel and vacuum flask so i was thinking of winterizing w/ ethanol like Gray Wolf does. TIA for your thoughts and time
. my buddy is gettin' impatient so i am trying to do a quick run right now. got the partner's parents in town for graduation so i'm trying to get all my gear packed and outta sight b4 they visit the house. halfway done recovering right now.
thanks, i concur w/ QTS. it matters how long the butane passes over the material, but not how long the butane sits in the extract in terms of quality. for concerns with time of total process 20-40 min. is accurate. can be up to an hour. 20 min. i would guess is if it's under vacuum. hope that helps
to peeps w/ butane concerns i refer you to the MSDS sheets. compare butane to ethanol. then come talk to me again. butane is food safe. we do know. it's not just stoners who like chemistry. if ya want to play it safe then stay away from solvent based concentrates entirely and stick with dry sieve, bubble, etc. since your name is errl then i am guessing you are a fan of solvent based concentrates then you should know that a proper purge no matter how long the contact time will remove all butane. when using this system the mercaptans (sp?) and and propane can be removed from canned butane (something none of the sstb or other straight tube setups can) or use lab grade n-butane. this tool is FOR safety. as it is originally purposed for making essential oils that are food grade. ISO or QWISO is actually much harder to purge as it has an even higher polarity. just my two cents. hope that helps
that's badass. they also provide you with the correct procedure and "codes" as it were to start you own AirGas account. i feel like staying a little more off the grid for the time being so i am sticking w/ the vector, plus i already had two casesIm into quality to;o indeed
. for me it is not time, but money, safety, and the green factor (got a little hippie and me, balanced by some screamin' punk and metal ) i love being able to look out at the rain and surfing the net without concern of blowing myself the fuck up.
yes, do you?
do you have something to add or share to this? or are you just spreading fear. i am trying to help educate you as is QTS, but if you are an oil hater, then why the moniker and why come to this thread? i have had plenty of this conversation on other sites if you just want to argue the safety of butane. that isn't what this thread is for, i don't believe. sorry if i seem short or abrupt and i acknowledge i may be misinterpreting your intentions which is why i am asking you to clarify them.
