Does the starting purity of the solvent matter if distilled/Dehydrated properly?

Wondering if the $450 tank of refined hydrocarbons solutions n butane is worth it vs. best value vacs. If distilled and dehydrated, won't the 'dirty' become pure anyways? It so, Anyone know cheapest solvent in the Bay Area or online?

I believe Ive read that pure N butane will pick up more red pigments. I personally used to run pure N butane and had massive issues with red pigmentation in my distillate possibly due to anthocyanins. But I did find Pure butane gave me higher yields.

You should be able to pre-distill your butane to the PPB level.

We use 99.5% Instrument grade from Apis Labs in Eugene, which we distill and filter to 99.99%. They also ship. Coltrane422@gmail.com
