Ok so last night and tonight l decided to turn my concrete into an absolute, if l can call it concrete, it's in shatter form at room temp, but l ran it from dry trim instead of fresh, so is it an oleresin or however its said?? Anyways!! Back to the BHO BHC chunk that im dissolving into this beautiful everclear
The everclear BHO mixture became very cloudy with white, waxy particles just liked you guys showed said. Then l froze it for 24 hours just for a lil extra. Well it started to suspend like a cloud and some sank a little, note this was very good, clean tasting BHO in shatter form at room temp. So l guess there are some waxes or something else left in there...
So l take the glass out tonight, 24 hours later and filter it through a brown coffe filter l had at the house. Unbelievable the wax or whatever it ended up filtering out.
So l just warm water bathed it really low and slow like l do my oil without the flame purge of course haha and scraped it up
lt is still shatter, maybe a LITTLE harder not much at all. But it is a little darker in color, still golden still beautiful. lt hits smoother like this in the absolute form or whatever, but it does take away that lemon zest it had before and l really do enjoy that taste and flavor. l guess that is what the waxy shit is l don't know, have no idea. Still debating if it's worth the extra work...
From the observation that the lemon zest was gone along with the bubbles,it does take away that lemon zest it had before
the absolute is free from all the bubbles and looks like glass
Perhaps also w/ low oxygen.i think the terpene that gives the lemon flavor is rather delicate and extra care w/ low temps needs to be utilized.
Theoretically recommend a vacuum distillation,
but I have no vacuum and I distill ethanol in portions of 50 ml on a steam bath,
which provides about 160F on the surface of the evaporator plate.
Obvious that such heating is not useful for keeping terpenes.
In the experiments of evaporation at ambient temperature,
I noticed faint shades of vodka in taste.
Ethanol is needed in such quantity that the solution has turned out quite liquid for further filtration after cooling.
The excess ethanol will only lead to its loss,
the lack of ethanol will make the solution too viscous,
making it difficult to filter and leave resinous trail on the filter,
which after drying the filter can be cut with scissors and washed well with ethanol.
In my small practice, consumption of ethanol is about 50 ml / 0.7-1.0 g of resin.
For the use of a vacuum, I can only theorize.
On the practical experience of application of vacuum to ethanol reported GrayWolf.
Using the vacuum does not remove the need to melt the resin for the mobility of the solvent at its disposal.
Yeah, what Jump said!
So VAC purging may not work or did I read that wrong? Also I had a tough time getting the butane out of that last batch (never got it out to my liking) and was wondering if the ethanol will be as difficult or will it not get trapped such as the butane making it hard to purge. Also what if some leftover ethanol were to be left in the oil and to be vaporized would this be a concern?
Also the notion of thin film is over rated.
Well, you just went from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand. And How does the resin exactly get removed from the chamber? Looks like the are a closed bulb.
