Drying hash with a Buchner funnel

[natureboygrower]

The paper is a really low mircon, so it would probably help with the vacuum. I've never seen a buchner funnel being used with any other type of filter.

DE base filter with a carbon pad filter on top. These started off as ethanol slurrys @Jjgrow420 and have been dried. If you pulled this too hard, the carbon pad would crack. And that was using my sink aspirator.

Also I thought I remembered seeing the screens which were 25u ... Same as my press screen so I just thought duh no brainer use the screen.

So mine has a cap, that suctions on when I'm running it. Am I to understand this is incorrect? It's supposed to run open? What would the cap be for?

You could be right, I'm no expert. I do use the filter paper in my bho extractor.

I use 'mean screens'. Then a stainless one overtop to prevent blowouts

I use this method and it’s quite simple. I use a porcelain Büchner funnel and filter paper with medium flow. You wet the filter paper, then apply vacuum, and finally spread your hash evenly. Make sure the hash covers the entirety of the filter. Leave for a few minutes then remove the filter with the hash and break apart and place somewhere cool and dark with a fan moving the air around (not direct air).

have you tried drying in a pizza box that is kept in a refrigerator?

Normally I freeze it then microplane it onto parchment and dry it on the floor in the dry tent in the basement. Floor is about 64ish°
I have left some in the freezer for a long time and the moisture crystalized on the inside of the bag and the hash was dry (forgot about it)

Hm still didn't work. Not sure what's going on exactly. Might just try some of the paper

One poster earlier, said he wets his filter paper first.
Dammit, i want u to get this!

I think the most effective way to do this is to have a lot of hash fill the funnel. To the point of covering the whole frit so air is forced THROUGH the hash and not around it. That's my guess at why this isn't working.

I only have so much time to dink around with it each night, hopefully I can figure it out.

the partial vacuum being pulled is drawing the moisture out of the hash.
seal up the joints.
I hate vacuum leaks

Didn't work, too bad. Did you poke a small hole in top of the foil?
How much is the vacuum pump?

do you have filter adaptors?
when I asked the lab store wether or not they are necessary for a good seal they said 100% yes

I never got it to work properly and I ended up returning it. Just been drying hash the old fashion way
