that's a scotchbrite prefilter to give you an idea of how easy it is to catch this shit. The goods ran through there and into a bed of silica.

Thanks. reducing the volume of some ethanol extract right now.

pay to play, google or crack a book.

Probably more water and then drown, maybe some floating seaweed.

I was already thrown into the water man, I wasn't asking for hand holding, I was asking because I was curious if there was a specific reason you went with 4:1 instead of 10:1 that wasn't related to your differing extraction process.

When I search google for stuff, and believe me I've been spending days worth of time looking, I don't find too many specifics of anything, or just videos of joe blow with their tabletop setup where they themselves don't know jack.

I literally cannot afford to waste anything or screw anything up by trying any unknown process or experimenting too much at this point, so in an attempt to learn I was asking questions, which I thought was a thing that was encouraged.


as for your pay to play comment, we talked about this, I told you to I was more than happy to pay for your consulting services and you didn't get back to me, and now you post stuff freely on a public forum and tell me to pay to play when I ask a question about the topic? Do you work for a freemium company by chance?

i didn't put a post up there for people to ask questions. More for people to learn. I'm not gonna say much because how the hell do you think I figured it out? It's not gonna help me to tell you or anyone a godamn thing because at this "level" there are always more questions and if i dont say shit someone else will guess or try and figure it out and well thats how learning happens.

I ain't martha stewart, but sure i'll teach you how to cook for dough. I didn't see any reply from you and im a busy dude you know how to get a hold of me. and im not gonna tell you a thing you cant learn on your own.....from community college, the internet, and a set of balls.

i bet you don't become a fuckin CHEF learning from pintrest recipes.

Don't ask me questions, ask the search bar. Point out holes in shit I say, don't swallow my words for fun.

you're the one who makes a living doing this shit right?



I do 4:1 because at my volumes that's when i feel it "looks" good enough to work with as far as consistency for my filtering.

I heat my crude to 120c, stir in water/citric acid, let cool to 80c, stir in 5% carbon and 5% bleaching clays, stir for 30 minutes, pour into ethanol to make 10/1 ratio, filter, freeze, filter.

I'm not concerned about decarbing the material because it is going to be distilled.

i felt like adding carbon/fullers to crude was a sure way to kill yields. Carbon isn't really selective in its absorbing.

if you're just going for a clean first pass with less work i guess it's fine to chuck some to the carbon.

You might be smart and all... i really cant say one way or the other.

However, you dont play well with others.

IMO... this site, and "our" community only would benefit from open, friendly conversations.

Cheers mate

Fascinating, do you do this before standard winterization then? I have been wondering if it's really necessary to go all the way through the process first to avoid slowing down first stage filtering.

I haven't had very great luck with carbon, but I was also using it with Ethanol and I did not get nearly hot enough I suspect. I'm going to try it with silica again and see if I can improve my results, the last time some carbon came through the silica and didn't get caught before distillation so I suspect a small amount of D8 may have been generated as a result.

they sure as fuck would. show up with your boots on or go away.

im not all that bright, i lack ambition, have no attention, and smoke pot so don't put me in the smart pile.


the "community" as the general populous at least here in the states is generally retarded and talking to these people can cause a fuckin idiot shiver so bad people will think you're michael j fox. hats off to gw he can deal with shitheads, dipshits, do gooders, and general tards like myself with such grace and patience. obviously im not him.

if you're making concentrates and giving them to other people you better have half an ounce of common sense. put your foilhat on and imagine all the bad things that can end up in your shit, then act accordingly. we cant trust testing facilities, "reputable" companies, etc.... and its not like the people who care to know a bit about "extraction" are surprised... so ya i speak with a bit of conviction and am a dick because if you wanna get real about shit.....lives are at risk and this is supposed to be "medicine".

sorry to harsh your mellow but im a bit of a misanthropic fuck and i see everything from a life a negative as fuck life or death point of view.

i use it sparingly. Like if i expect X amount of contaminants then i'll add X amount carbon.

I've gotten carbon out with just DE. You gotta play with it to get the slurry method down to prevent blowouts but it pays off!
