How do you not get the stank to end up in the distillate? It's this nasty smokie smell that just gets into everything the distillation head, receiving flasks, vacuum lines, and end product.
Is it a terpene that I collected too early or is it from over-cooking the flask. It seems like my main body is coming out late (250-280c). I don't know if it's our vac (can only get down to 0.7torr).
in my experience you gotta get more vac than that. 500mtorr would be better.
The lower the vac, the lower the temps, the better the separation, the less degradation the better the distillate.
what kinda pump you got? how's the oil condition? trap of any sorts?
I got that nasty burnt cedar smell when i tried running with a huge vac leak and a bad gauge.
got my pump dialed in, joints cleaned up, fresh lines and pump oil....
the distillate just flowed
