I make clear oil all the time. It is not hard at all. Yes, it is a distilled product.
how?

You take the dark oil, put it in the distiller, turn the distiller on until you fractionate and fractionate and fractionate. And when your done fractionating, youre done distilling its real eazy. You get clear oil.
Damn, i knew it had to be one of those keep it simple stupid deals. Here i was overcomplicating things.
As for your previous questions, with what you already know and the info in this thread, you should be able to answer your own question through a few trial runs, and perhaps recording data while you work. I highly recommend it as well.
What did you mean by "first pass is difficult to fraction"? You had to raise temperatures to get anything over? Or you had a very wide range of boiling and condensing temperatures per fraction? Or you just didn't get a good color in your collection? Give more details and I'm sure someone may be able to help
Consider getting a clean boiling flask for final runs, when your product is fairly pure already. See if you can dial in pressures and temperatures.
I have a lot of Cinderella 99 from my harvest 6 months back that I am thinking about running out as BHO and will consider this once I get to that point. I also have some Headband that needs to get run so once I get the dough for some tane I will then check into fractional distillation.
How much does a basic setup run??
GW you got a link to any vendors that have the correct components to set up one of these systems? I was checking out lab glassware and there are just too many to search through.
Looks like a list of required materials are as follows: (feel free to correct me or add on)
heating mantel
2L 2 neck round bottom flask
24/40 SP distillation head w/ vigreux thermometer joint 14/20
24/40 cow receiving flask w/ 3x offset receiving joints 24/40
3x 250 ml round bottom flasks 24/40
4 inch deler condenser w 45/50 endcap
1L 45/50 Dewer round bottom flask
assorted keck clips
assorted thermometer joint adapters x2
hoses
chiller
vacuum pump
open source steel has a kit with just the glassware for $2150 which is high I would think as the distiller head seems to be the most costly piece.....
I haven't done anything chemistry related besides open blasting BHO in like 2 decades so excuse me for my ignorance. This looks like a fun project!
Really need to bite the bullet and gather the parts for CLS first it seems. Butane cost is prohibitive to me running oil as would be needed. Then there is the problem of what to do with all of the extra oil!
I really need to make some new friends that are 420 friendly.....all my old stoner friends either gave it up or moved far away.
I'd like to think I got my setup for a cheap as possible.
laboy glass is around 150-180 ebay/amazon for basic fract dist kit
chinese stuff can be had around the $80-100 for the same kit
mantle- 100 from SEOH
welch 1405- $80
vac gauge- $60
misc shit.......at least the cost of all the above lol
Was just at my boys warehouse checking out his gear for his new setup...
Thats 15 chillers and pumps...
And yes, the tank does start right up and drive.....

Quick question.... can you use bubble hash as a starting material for short path distillation of THC? Can't seem to find the answer, most people use BHO
you can. but the less pure the starting product, the more impure the distillate, the more degradation that takes place due to the extra time it takes to separate cannabanoids from a greater number of compounds present, which means lower yields.
can you get a great, pure distillate from bubhash? yes, but you will suffer a greater ratio of loss.
Speaking of yields ...........I'm just curious what all this distillation and fractioning does to the overall yield. Let's assume you're starting with 450 grams of BHO. Beginning with winterization which for me always reduces yields 12-18% ............ from there how far south do yields go trying to produce translucent, colorless oil?
