Got my first residuals screening, still waiting on the results. Don't like paying that much for a test that basically no one will give a fuck about, but the stuff doesn't look great, so I felt it necessary. Results tomorrow.

Kudos for testing for residuals, I think more people should do it, more as in everyone, especially if they're trying to call it "medicine"

Like I said, it's not something I normally do. Most of the time I can tell it's good. Just this one batch looked questionable to me. I'd always test for it but it's way too expensive and dispensaries don't seem to care. I added a little bit of iso to it and heated it in the hopes I could make this into amber glass, but I failed hard. Now I've got purple goo. I tested to make sure I completely got rid of all the iso.
Here's the sample in question. Doesn't look pretty

It tested ok, but it just visually looks like crap to me. I'm very quickly finding how exactly how much I don't know about oil/wax.

Ok, I have a question about vacuum purging and I figured this would be the place to ask it since there are a few experienced hash heads here. I've been looking for a good quality vacuum pump because I am sick of the little hand pump, but I LOVE the results it gives, quite clean, it's just not economical.
I'm not about all the "Vacuum purge on the cheap" type threads and ideas, I want to do it right (as right as one can without a vent hood that is) so the question is: What are the best options when looking at vacuums pumps?
It seems obvious to me that I need a 2-stage over a 1-stage pump as the 2-stage pulls a deeper vacuum and more quickly, but CFM doesn't seem to matter unless I get a larger vac chamber.
I'd rather not have to spend more than $200 on a pump/vac-meter/hoses, I have everything else I need except lube for my desiccator(suggestions?). I've been looking at the 2 pumps at Harbor Freight (1-stage) http://www.harborfreight.com/25-cfm-vacuum-pump-98076.html (2-stage) http://www.harborfreight.com/two-stage-3-cfm-air-vacuum-pump-66466.html and the Vac Tester: http://www.harborfreight.com/fuel-pump-and-vacuum-tester-93547.html
I dunno if I like the cheaper one, but I'm always a little iffy on harbor freights *brand*. So I guess really all I'd like to know is what is a good option for a starter Vacuum pump in the range of $150-200. How long will the pump last, how much oil will it take to maintain, and really just overall whats the best bang for one's buck that doesn't totally destroy the wallet?

This is beautiful man, so now I have to ask, have you ever tried making any of this into Budders? I'm pretty sure the guy who came public with original budders tek said they used etoh or iso, but it's easier to get budders with butane. Just wondering, since you know, budders is STILL all the rage >.<

Budders is the rage? I think quite the contrary. Whipping is out. Amber glass is in.

False. 99/100 dispensaries want non-stick wax. That's because that is what most people buy. Wax right now is the single most desirable cannabis product in Northern California.

yea bro, amber is not in where I'm at, here the "Crumble" us what's up

Well among heavy dabbers that I have met from across the country they all seemed to mutually agree budder was def not whats up. But I am not in Cali so I dont know what the dispensary's want. I also hear from some of those dabbers i have met that dispensary's are the worst for errls. So I guess that explains it...

The bay area is pretty much the dab epicenter of the world. And the dispensaries here have pretty damn good concentrates for the most part. They just happen to prefer wax to glass. TBH I think it's all kinda gimmicky. Glass, wax, oil, basically all the same shit. The wax out here is better than the rest of the other stuff because wax is the most desirable so the better concentrate makers are making wax. If more people wanted glass, then that's what they'd make so glass would be better.
It's more of a matter of personal preference than an actual quality difference IMO. All forms of bho are pretty much strong as fuck and they are all pretty good as long as they are purged right and taste good as long as they aren't heated too much.
i use a 6cfm it seems to get the job done. check amazon they are pretty cheap and show up quick i read somewhere that 5cfm is the level u should be looking for but this is the internet and most info is bullshit. i am no expert in this area but i can tell you that the foodsaver quick marinator canister is not an acceptable vacuum chamber

yea, so basically I just went to use my desiccator and wouldn't you know, the stopcock broke right off, so guess it doesn't matter at the moment... It's what I get for spending less than $100 on a 180mm chamber... tried to weld it with some glass, but my propane torch isn't hot enough to do anything but make the glass droop apparently... So now I guess I need a new vac chamber too, and I need to get my money back for this old one because it broke on the test run...i use a 6cfm it seems to get the job done. check amazon they are pretty cheap and show up quick i read somewhere that 5cfm is the level u should be looking for but this is the internet and most info is bullshit. i am no expert in this area but i can tell you that the foodsaver quick marinator canister is not an acceptable vacuum chamber
