Yeah, it's not cheap but I've saved $8-$10 per run with alcohol and running only twice a week is $832 (at $8) per machine. Expensive is relative.....

This came across my feed yesterday. Cool article from a writer named Sharon Letts whom I was following a lot in Dope magazine https://www.civilized.life/articles/the-source-patients-power/

As far as biological function goes the vapor is absorbed immediately. The idea of holding it is antiquated (like me) combustion smoking and does nothing for you with vapor. Any increased sensation is simply oxygen deprivation. This topic was brought up at a medical (real doctors) round table...

Yeah, I tried that when you mentioned it before. The vacuum ran out of the chamber too quickly. I have a dial regulator I could put in the line between the chamber and flask, but it is a bit too much going on for me. My mini vacuum pump works a treat, as long as I survive using it.......

To my experience treatment of flower and trim are very similar but you have to me much more careful with trim. Flower is actually pretty easy. Kind of like cooking steak, it's very easy to make a delicious steak out of high-grade expensive meat, but to turn cheap cuts into something yummy...

I'm happy to hear you are finally seeing what I have been working with here! Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

I am at 5,000ft and the new units are working like stormtroopers. I have friends using at sea level and they report the same operating points as I here. I know Lee went to Estes and 8,000 to test the units and they worked as expected. So, I hope yours works well. If you use flower I think...

Hmmm, good question. Technically, the reclaim will already be purified because the only vapor that should be evaporating and condensing is the alcohol, leaving any water content still in the cup. The Source for the most part is a closed loop still.

Thanks! Not the best video, but that's about the extent of my patience and ability, probably won't do another one for a while..... I have used high quality nug many times. The results are as you would imagine. When I first got my machines I was running nun a lot, and ruined a couple runs...

It seems to be just a function of vacuum and temp. From what I understand, to achieve the faster operation allowed by the turbo mode it requires more energy/heat to be pumped into the unit. To dissipate the increased application of heat and keep the temps down the vacuum pumps run more. So...

Hi Accept, thanks for taking a look. Making video is obviously not my strong point, but since I am feeling more comfortable that I am figuring out the process I thought I would share. I have had a Ball glass jar and a beaker with the dry ice and they haven't broken yet, but I assume they will...

Finally got time and borrowed some stuff and space to make a video using the Source. Its not great, and as always used beat up trim, but it gives a good idea of what to expect......

I think technically all three or those are considered "oil", just in different phase? From what I understand, oil is still pretty loose and viscous and often accompanied by a carrier? Wax is more pliable and is similar to shatter with the exception of form. If you disturb the oil while...

I probably used way too much MCT, maybe that is why it was so smooth? I am just starting my experimenting with this but I think it is going to be pretty straight forward. I have heard the emulsion holds very well with MCT in comparison to the other options. The essential oils that I used for...

I spent some time messing with this yesterday and had some great results. Unfortunately, played the guessing game and eyeballed everything very roughly. Not to mention I used materials I already had processed laying around. Anyway, not a great post, but just wanted to share what I was getting...

Cooling the top is essential for condensation and reducing how much the pump runs. I use a ziplock full of ice instead of the ice try through.....

Ah, nice timing. I am just thinking to start experimenting with cartridges. Have you used MTC oil, and if so how does it compare to VG/PG?

Oh, I'll be very interested to hear how that goes at 7200'! where are you located? I extracted along with some cloves that came out very good. Good for trim but I wouldn't add any flavor to flower. It will come out really terpy and beautiful on its own.

Cool, Im looking forward to figuring this out. I need to get some good flower to run, the horrible scrappy trim I've been experimenting with has about run its course, but I have about 5 more experiments I want to do using a control starting material so tek is solid before moving onto flower runs.
