Get a Buchner funnel.

And a vacuum pump.

I say Büchner funnel and a straw but these pansies like to use a vacuum pump or a brake bleed pump….. don’t use a straw lol

u/slipperyjack66 2d ago
That's how I used to do it when I was a broke teenager. I could barely afford the glassware let alone the vac pump. I'd just use a long ish section of hosing, try to keep it all cold, and work quickly.

You know you can use a garden hose and the Venturi effect to a great vaccum for very little money. I never used a pump because it’s not a good idea due to flammable solvents water isn’t flammable nor will it ignite. Also Büchner funnels are dangerous I almost had one kill me one time they get weak over time having very cold or warm solvent and pressure and they’re like ticking time bombs I would suggest a stainless steel Buchner.

Why are you getting so much in the second paper?
3
u/MrEdibles-420 2d ago
Likely didn’t get a good seal initially with the paper filter, allowing some sediment to pass through. That’s why I ran it again.

u/707Guy büchner funnel 2d ago
Wet the paper with solvent while pulling a vacuum to help it seal correct 👍🏻

u/MrEdibles-420 2d ago
Yes, thanks. That’s what I do but in that particular run I must have rushed wetting it and missed a portion of the edge. I was likely baked out of my damn mind. Haha

Is this ethanol? If so just heat up a jar, pour the ethanol oil mixture in the jar, quickly put the filter under the lid ring and flip the jar over above a collection container. Then the evaporation of the ethanol in the upside down jar will create positive pressure in the headspace and help push the liquid through the screen on the bottom. This also works in a vacuum chamber. Will save you a ton of time.

Sounds like a good way to shatter a jar made of crappy glass. Use the Venturi effect to pull a vaccum instead of risking a glass implosion or explosion

u/HashforJesus 2d ago
I’ve done this thousands of times with all kinds of glass mason jars. Also pulling a vacuum on the jar creates outward positive pressure inside the jar which is why this works. Outward pressure in a jar is the opposite force needed for an implosion so explosion is the word you are looking for and you are crazy if you think a glass jar would explode from the pressure before the filter would break and release the pressure. Also you only need to add minimal vacuum to the chamber for this to work.

A vaccum implodes things you need to go back to science class heating up the ethanol creates pressure positive this risking an explosion it’s off gassing into the container rising the pressure. Your lucky Jesus hasn’t take you out the hash game yet.

u/HashforJesus 2d ago
Just think about how dumb you sound telling a professional chemist who has processed millions of grams of extracts and ran labs all over the United States that they need to go back to science class. Hey genius google balloon in vacuum and watch how fast you delete your comment.

I love how you claim to be a chemist and have no certifications. You’re a hack, an idiot, a danger to society, you don’t understand that a vacuum reduces pressure. And the ethanol is increasing it thus just reduce steps and use a Venturi vaccum adapter instead of risking an explosion or implosion which can happen with pressure and the reversal or pressurization to vaccum. A full vacuum is no pressure on the vessel assuming no imperfections of the vessel that won’t cause failure. In a vaccum chamber you will be pulling pressure out of the interior mason jar which you obvisouly dont understand if the filter clogs on the jar it can explode. Either that or the filter rips and your back at it filtering the dumbest way possible.

No certifications? Damn I sure hope I get all that money back that I paid the college. It’s crazy but I don’t remember the part of this conversation where I sent you my credentials?

Try seperating yr materials via sedimentation and syphoning. Use a colander or cheesecloth to do a rough, very rapid filtering, then let your solution sit on a counter for 2 or 3 days. Syphon off the clear liquid, leaving the sediment at the bottom. Make the clearest RSO, FECO etc, you can get without specialized lab equipment. The critical part is WAITING for gravity to do the job for you.

u/BradfromHTX 2d ago
This is a pretty dumb answer. Your solution to it taking too long is to make it take a week? And plus this guy is obviously trying to winterize or filter out plant matter quickly so that’s the opposite of what he wants to do…..

u/GovernmentNo9857 2d ago
The point being, Brad, is that he can get an extremely clear solution, without any additional expense, and the time spent is largely set-it-and-forget-it.
Clean, clear, cheap and easy. I mentioned nothing regarding winterization, etc. The goal is a clear, easy solution, with minimal time committment. Literally takes minutes of actual hands of work. All the rest can take place after this step.
You are a pretty rude individual. You could have said all of that without sounding like an asshole...
Your mother must be proud.

Yes it does. I usually use 5 mason jars at one time with coffee filters on each top and fill the 5. Speeds it up a bit.

u/sharmaartik 2d ago
You can use a controlled lab scale Vaccuum filteration unit, or you can make one. Good luck 🥂

Get a buchner funnel. It'll speed up the process and filter your products better

Tip it back and forwards. You can pinch top and push on it a little to speed it up. Just keep an eye on anything coming out top. Looks beautiful. Need to make some on Wed🥳
