im curious about the specifics of this. what was initial iso extract's quality? and did u hav to do multiple distillations (passes)I had my guy turn 24g of iso extract into about 20g of distillate. What a much better extract.
Have never worked with hexane or ethyl acetate.
Anybody know of an industrial use/source of these chemicals?
This is a great example of my complaint about shipping to Alaska.theres one more piece of equipment i think u might hav overlooked which is a vacuum chamber.
I'm really shocked that you only lost a little less than 17 % on that. Even decent material I'm still losing 25 to 30 % on my first pass. Another 5 to 10 for the second pass. Crude gives me 50 percent returns for distillate.I had my guy turn 24g of iso extract into about 20g of distillate. What a much better extract.
there r many ways to get a vac chamber i recommend building one. there r some great videos on youtube of this. even kingofrandom did one. u can also buy products of the shelf lik the foodsaver vacuum storage containersThis is a great example of my complaint about shipping to Alaska.
I had a $120 Best Vac chamber in my shopping cart until seeing an $80 shipping charge for USPS postage.
Just can't stand being abused like this.
If they put any effort into using USPS I'm sure they could get that handling fee down.
Thanks for the advise on the vacuum chamber, I'll figure something out.
Pinene removal? What? Are you trying to add Pinene terps? You MUST be confused and thinking of Limonene. Its the only terpene used in the distillation. And that's only IF you use it, better options out there.Stop me now, or this is what I'll do as soon as my aluminum oxide gets here.

Made this extraction via open butane blast using three cans of bute on just under 200 grams of leaf and seconds.
I then dissolved it in 95% ethanol.
I'm planing on using the Buckner funnel as a chromatography column and seeing what happens.
Should I water it down and do a pinene removal first?
I have watched the video twice and know I'm missing something.
Is the pinene being distilled off or left behind as the white fluid?
Will watch the vid again and see if things clear up.
At any rate, experimentation will happen.
All advise will be taken into consideration.
My apologies, thought you were onto a different method.. Advice I would give from experience is Pentane has VERY close polarity with Hexane and a much lower boiling point. FWIWI just re-watched it and think I understand what is going on.
Purifying cannabinoids by Chromatography
In the opening boil, he is stripping light aromatics by doing a dirty water distillation.
As a side effect of the boil, pinene is being removed into the boiling water.
I want to try this primarily because I have the still, and want to see if I can perform this separation.
As to dissolving the resultant oil in hexane for further separation via silica gel, I'm not there yet.
No hexane or gel.
Will probably attempt a de-waxing by silica oxide chromatography, once the silica arrives in the mail.
Our livers also don't turn any residual pentane into 2.5 Hexane dione, a carcinogen.My apologies, thought you were onto a different method.. Advice I would give from experience is Pentane has VERY close polarity with Hexane and a much lower boiling point. FWIW
