Yes that is likely a 1lb column, the ID is 2" and its 36" long.

It doesn't look like your missing and ball valve ends and your got the ptfe hose so you don't need the compression fitting. Was there anything else Rb meant when he said ball valve ends?

You can get this going in a week or so. You need to find at min a 6x6 spool and the injection port.

I haven't used a small system with a 1lb tube. I recommend that you upgrade to a 10x12 shortly if your doing allot of extraction. The deal with smaller collection spools is the solvent doesn't have enough surface area to evaporate within a reasonable time frame, so basically it takes a long time.

Sorry dude but you can sort it out with a bit more money.

so this is NOT a 1lb column? i don't have the tank yet, didn't make much sense to me to purchase it when i didn't even know if i would get my extractor, but now i have it, it is no different than NOT having it, useless.

These parts were so terribly packaged, it's no wonder why things are dinged up. everything was thrown in the box and layered with bubble wrap.

That 2" x 36" column will support 415 grams @ 4.2 grams per cubic inch.

I thought I was the only high maintenance customer!!!

Not only can we call/text the owner and get a response within a hour. Just about everything is in stock there. As a added bonus, its only a 40 minute drive from my house...

Lol i wonder how much time they Put into customer maintenance! I have taKen up a few hours too thats for sure.

Also, terpps calculations are correct. That being said, more or less will fit depending on material. I dont weigh it out before extraction. I just try to pack firmly and evenly.

Its the 1 lb model but doesnt do 1 lol. Call it an approximation.

Bro. Call bhogart and tell them your situation and what parts u need. Get a tank from them, yup, the one redbeard talked so much shit on, and u will be happy.

I have a bhogart system, i hate the storage tank and am using a 50# refrigerant tank lol. 100 bucks off amazon.

thanks IC,
i appreciate it, gonna go with Terpp for anything else i need as well as any future systems.

I know i could get it going with more money, but sucks to know i did not get everything i paid for.

Reached out to RB via email, explains an error on his partners side, said he'd take care of it tomorrow.

Do u have the 1 lb system? A 50 lb or 100 lb tank is overkill. If u pick up water during the extraction and have to dump your solvent tank, u wont be happy. Im happy with my smaller tank.

Its not hard to get water out of the tank.

A tank full of solvent? How do u do this without letting all the solvent out into the air?? This why is many people use multiple vapor filters as fa as i know. Seems to me the best setup is having a large tank to fill your smaller one with. I remember rb complaining about his "shatter" being runny before he imploded.... Most likely from a 100 lb tak tat had been infested with water.

How r u getting the water out of the tank icdog? If i am mistaken, i might buy a larger tank....

Turn the tank upside down and after it settles for a while, open the vapor valve for a short burst to blow any water.

Some of the larger refrigerant storage tanks have a bottom drain port.

I have a 5# system with their stupid tank thats the same size as a 50# tank just not rated for as much pressure, why they use this and not a normal refrigerant tank baffles me. The 50# tank is overkill? How? More area inside the storage tank for the incoming hot liquid to cool seems like a better idea then a tiny tank that has welded corners. I wounder what those tanks are rated for considering the thicker one piece curved 50# tank is only rated for 400 psi. The water thing has already been said but yes its very easy to do, i leave my tank in a deep freezer 24/7, every couple days i burp the tank of any air ive introduced. Every couple days a flip it upside down over night and blast out any water that's maybe in there. Since ive started use filter dryers on every port where there's no oil ive seen a huge drop in water build up. I used my 50# tank with the MKIII and that only holds 180g, i'd load about 10lbs into the tank and that would last me a two months with pouring some times and only recovering to -15 MAX.

I have seen the posts about this and have tried it as well. Maybe it didn't sit long enough, cause my next run still came out runny. I them changed the solvent out and proceeded to get stable extract from the same material. Does the temp affect this?

A6- if u are using a 5 lb machine then a large tank is the way to go. I recommended the smaller tank for grow4flow because he already spent so much $ and it would get him up and running quickly. Just a suggestion, go with a 50 lb tank, just make sure u dont overfill it and overflow the terp. It does happen to beginners, which is why the mini tank can be nice. I was about to grab bhogarts 50lb tank, but now that i see the liscenced ones are so cheap i may go that route. Good suggestion.

The warmer, the more water it can also hold in solution. The water that comes out when you invert it and let it settle, is only the water that fell out of solution from over saturation. If you chill the butane before inverting, more water will fall out of solution.

You will still need to use a drier to remove the 32 ml/L water that butane is capable of absorbing.

Cool thanks. I will try it next time i do a run. I have been using the disposable dryers that come with the reftec units. I absorbed water when one of those vapor filters was fully absorbed. Im gonna do some searching after watering my outdoor crop, but if u see this message soon, do i just grab the 50 lb tank from glacier?

I wouldn't use any tank from bhogart. After seeing a hole in the welds of one I avoid them. The tank I got from them i use to use as a can tapper spool, and the system i got was immediately converted to terp style. Those tanks suck, with faulty welds or with exceptional welds....I would get a 30# tank for the smaller systems and a 50# or 100# for anything larger. The structural design of their tanks is faulty, imo. Spend a hundy or two and get a tank rated for recovery. If your using canned butane their tank works great as a tapping spool, till its saturated with MO!!!

Are the cylinders bhogart makes D.O.T. approved for transportation and storage of hazardous materials?

Doubt it. The welds on mine are pretty decent. A handle or two would of been good!!

Defintitely not!

Quick UPDATE: Contacted RB and he was very responsive, already have a tracking number for the missing parts!

 

[icdog]

Great, how about the bigger spool?
