does the color change at all having it that high?
FE, watched the whole video. Well done, nice clean work space, I like your style. Petri dishes- cool. At what point are you putting your oil in the dishes that it isn't pouring over the edges.
Do you not vacuum purge in your process documented in the video?
I don't see how this could be any more 'decarbed' then the method of 115* for a few hours. Doesn't seem that the oil would get above 130 for very long since you are only hitting till it is viscous enough to run around on the paper.
i have some digital thermometers for cooking and i turned my heat gun on high and pointed it at them for just a couple seconds... they go up to 225 and they maxed out.
How long does it normally take to burp a tank after can tapping? I just finished can tapping, the tank weighed about 42 lbs. I had it in a container filled with ice and the temps on the tank were low 30's F. I opened the blue valve for a few minutes and something kept coming out so I closed it up. I can't really smell the propane or whatever should come out first, GW said the butane doesn't really have any pressure so does it take a few seconds or a few minutes or an hour or so?
@localhero. Looking like and being are two different, things. I think testing before and after his methods would prove me right. I find it humorous how much effort he puts into trying to prove me wrong instead of just trying to make better oil the first go.
Why would you want to stir your oil while under heat or under vacuum?

those scientific hot plates often have a magnetic stirrer built in. my guess is that it vibrates the ceramic top. my idea was that the stir function would help break up bubbles while under vacuum and low heat, allowing the gas bubbles to break faster. the issue i run into while vacuum purging is that the expanded bubbly wax cools as it is not touching the bottom where the source of heat is and takes longer to release the gas trapped in the expansion.
something like this with a 10" heating surface http://www.ebay.com/itm/VWR-VMS-C10...126?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c374a7656
