Anyone using a Source Turbo for extractions?

[Rwise]

Nice, thanx, those sure bring a lot used then fades off fast into toys/games/ect..
Good idea.

I'm really digging my Source Turbo. There is a group on Facebook(if you partake) called the Extractcraft Users Group and there is some pretty good info floating around there. I bought my unit from Extractcraft but it was a refurbished unit so it was only $400 but it still came with a warranty so after taxes it was about $430. I just started attempting to make my own vape cartridges using the oil I extracted with the help of the Source Turbo!

The used ones on epay are almost that, and its not over yet.

I would say the etoh but it costs 2k. Does the exact same thing as turbo but can do a lot .ore at once.

My check showed up in my account 12/31. Ain't told the wife yet. Lasts longer that way.

The etoh also allows you to do post-processing(purging).

I made an offer we'll see, said 3 others had also.

I use the source Turbo to make RSO. Everclear + trimming and larf.

If you’re using the source you’re probably really want to step your game up and get off the Everclear I use CulinarySolvent. , you lose about 50ml- 80ml per run. 2-5 grams outa an oz.

How is paying more for the same thing stepping up your game?

I don't know what a Source Turbo is, but for $600.00 you could cobble together a real lab still on flea-bay and be a lot more versatile.

I got $60 off on one from epay, question, can the sellers see you looking at others items? Reason, the sellers offer was made while I was looking at the others on epay tonight, my offer had expired.

 

[Rwise]

I think what was meant was you can get 200 proof instead of just 190, which could be a bit better.

IF it had not get stuck in Texas I would have it now, waiting for it to come in Monday by 9PM. I have one of these on the way to do the first part with as I think I will get a cleaner product.

I can also use it to make my own solvent, or some fine Blackberry brandy.

OMG that's so cool looking.

I am running my first batch of shake and make (5 minute wash), unit ran 2 hours and kicked off on the safety circuit, restarted and finishing now. They say watch it close the last few minutes, but they dont say how long it takes to get there.
IF the still gets here on time (the 13th) I think I'll run 2 batches of brandy then start on some bud.

Also heres a negative for buying on fleapay (or amazon), there is no warranty or support from the MFG, if it fails toss it in the trash. With this attitude I wont be buying any of this brand again.

Drekthar In your 2nd pic you have a bowl setting on the lid is that to keep a tight seal? A few years back I read all kinds of cannabis related information while being laid up for a few moths from surgery and it seems like I remember reading that it helps.

When I run a batch of oil in the etoh, I'll let it recover almost all of the alcohol until it's almost a syrup and then transfer that to a silicone cake pan for vacuum purging.
I find that I'd rather sacrifice a small amount of ethanol to help with removal from the crucible.
