this guy ( http://www.xtractix.com/refrigerant-recovery-machines-are-poisoning-the-cannabis-industry/ ) is trying to sell something similar to a tamisi using scare tactics against refrigerant recovery machines, namely appion etc...
well I use an appion and have seen cannabis oil at the connections to the machine and at my filter so if cannabis oil is getting in, is this guy right?
"While some extraction machine manufacturers have taken steps to create a system where the butane/propane only contacts food safe materials such as stainless steel, they seem to have overlooked the fact that the internal tubing of the refrigerant recovery machines are made from copper, brass and aluminum. Copper, when exposed to oxygen and moisture, creates copper oxide and copper carbonate, these are a black and green corrosions of copper which when smoked leads to a condition called Metal Fume Fever, symptoms of which include fever, chills, nausea, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, shortness of breath, chest pain, shock, collapse and or convulsions. When copper, brass and aluminum and are exposed to water, oxygen and acidic environments they produce sulfides and oxides which are being washed down into the extracted oils, and then smoked by consumers."
Gray Wolf what do you think I run an mkIII and have actually not had as good of product compared to my glass tubes. maybe the pressure in the column is scorching my herb?
any way Iam considering shelving the appion and mkIII for my old glass tubes.
