Thanks brotha!
Are the ptfe gaskets for sealing triclamps? Would you need them at every triclamp spot?
Why do you use the 10 mesh screen as opposed to the 20 mesh that graywolf did in the original?
Hey everyone,
Been lurking awhile now and am trying to keep my dumbass questions to a minimum. Hopefully this isn't one of them:
In GrayWolf's initial Lil Terp designs, he parts out a spool-based storage/recovery tank. The only custom work is a drilled out spot for a coupling weld. (Not a problem for me.)
My question is, is this still considered safe?
I really like the convenience of using a smaller, handy, stainless butane storage unit, and I really like the idea that I could build it from a spool, two end caps, and 2 high-pressure clamps...
Essentially, I love Tamisiums recovery tank, but it's $600. I also think it's silly to have to deal with inverting a 30# tank... right? I mean is that technique just for people who have no other vessel for their butane other than what they filled through AirGas or something?
Just about to order some stuff from Glacier and don't know if it's worth looking into a different plan for the recovery tank or not. It's worth noting, that a) I'm doing this passively, as mentioned. b) Would like to chill the butane and column as much as possible before doing the extract.
Just want to ensure there's no obvious issues I'm missing.
I wasn't trying to put my system together on the cheap like the thread you linked, its basically a MKIII with out the custom lid and using a different bottle for recovery, we just wanted something that didn't require welding is all.
For the cost of a new lid, some valves, and a pump it could be converted into a fully active mkiii. I will try to get some pics of the passive system if you guys really want though.
I'd love to see a pic!
This might be a good fit for me.
I can't fab a regular lil terp lid
And I can't find one online...
Much appreciated loc dog.
But that's a Mkiii lid
How do I make a mkiii lid work for a lil terp?
I guess that's true if you're using a hot/cold differential to flood gas into the column. If you want to use a cold/colder differential to flood with sludgy butane, gravity isn't all that fast with that size hose.
edit: or am I missing something?
