Just got advance copies of the May 2014 High Times, where Skunk Pharm Research was featured on pages 52 through 60. Hats off to Elise for being gracious and kind in her writeup, and for being a good student in the bho and alchemy classes. Some pictures of the Skywalker and Greencrack that Joe and I extracted specifically for the project, but alas the clear shots I hoped for didn't make the cut. I had a bad camera card that day and missed all of the pictures. Both were extracted using denatured alcohol and dry ice for the recovery tank and the Skywalker was almost transparent, while the Greencrack looked like electric yellow stained glass. On a scraper, not so much................ Anyone interested in the details might pick up next May's copy and crack it to page 52, plus check out the rest of the articles and advertizements. One of the other articles is a list of strongest strains.

Could i use zeolite from the pet store for fish tank ammonia removal to dry butane? Im assuming that if it will adsorb ammonia that its around 3a or 4a otherwise it would just go around it correct? Im looking to use it to dry for any water and or mercap or other contaminants around that size, butane is about 4.9a so I would assume it would be left alone from adsorption in the crystals if it catches ammonia because of the gap from ammonias size (which it is advertised to be adsorbing) to the size of butane which is roughly 1.5-1.9 angstroms larger so it should be fine right?am I correct in this thinking? A second or third opinion on this would be awesome thanks
I've read several excellent stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much attempt you set to create one of these great informative site.|
Just wondering, when extraction companies say 5(9) Butane what does that mean exactly?
If I would like to Distill 21 pounds of butane, do I need to wipe my cold trap clean after every recovery or can I just refill it over and over again for a longer period of time to avoid constantly dismantling and rebuilding my machine? I'm using an Oreo obie and a caresaver
We clean when we finish the batch, typically 24 to 48 lbs. GW
How long does it take condensate 2 liter of butane? And does butane stays transfer line after butane vaporizes?
Can charcoal be used to filter in the cold trap?
I am a chemist. I admire you guys for trying but I must say that your research is comparable to that of an Apollo monkey on cannabis. You shame my profession. You share bad information.
If you're a chemist...... do be specific about what information Johnny Chimpo has wrong ?
Well enlighten us then if you have such good information? Last time I checked, the info that is posted here, was not posted by anyone claiming to be a chemist or scientist but instead a group of people who are in this venture together. So enlighten us please by letting us know what information is incorrect
Yup I wonder where the money comes from that keeps skunk farm going. The .org dont fool me Oil companies?
Nope, looks like someone beat us to it. May I suggest a good laxative for what ails you? GW

Out of our personal pockets and it is a matter of public tax record that it has been a money hole. We've gotten free gas samples and equipment to test and report, which we've done as a public service pro bono. No need to fool you brother, you are so full of it, that you're doing a good job yourself! May I ask what have you done recently to make the world a better place??? GW
There is so much debate regarding refrigerant pumps. Has anybody put enough hours on a haskell to recommend a part number? I don't really want to discuss Appion as safety is my main concern. Kind regards, QZ, Safety Officer
A fair number of folks running the single/dual stage 59025-3 Haskel, and Haskel is now coming out with a single stage EXT-420 stainless version, geared to our industry. Check out this thread for more insight into the pump. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=297278
How about posting a PDF reprint of the article? Thanks!
any possibility this can be accomplished with a lil terp?
Dumb question maybe. Is it possible to use a small glass vacuum distilling apparatus to recapture butane from an extraction? Collecting the butane solution from an open run, and distilling the butane off, leaving a small amount as a carrier for the concentrates left in the bottom of one flask, and pure butane on the other?
Yes, the right thickness glass or borosilicate would work.
I made a glass CLE out of 1.5" tubes that came out of a milk sterilizer. It works good, but heating the liquor to get it to distill makes the dab really dark. Still 82% THC, and shatters... anyway I'm going to drop the temp to 98.6F and see if I get the yellow stuff I do when I waste the butane. And I'm going to buy a pump haha. One of those cheap Robinairs.
I found the same by trial on new terp. Excellent post. Worrkshop was great training.
I am just getting my order together with Glacier Tank and I have a question about the butane distillation apparatus. Can you provide more details on the piece that should be ordered to fulfill the 12" input port? Also a spec on the thermometer and maybe a source for it as well. Many thanks for your efforts to share this information on your site. You are true Samaritans..
I cut a 24" 1 1/2" sanitary spool in half to make two of those pieces. I had a Type K 1/4" tubular thermocouple made by Branom Instruments and use a cheap Mypin temperature controller off E-Bay http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Dual-Digital-F-C-PID-Temperature-Controller-Control-TA4-SNR-K-thermocouple/280840220156?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27%26meid%3D3094846578978645992%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D1011%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D3%26sd%3D141126338876%26, and use it as read only.
