My soxy extractor has been on the shelf since the day I saw I could qwiso and get stellar results, comparitively. it's in your cooking spray ! used in the food industry for over 100 years ! it's not "stuck" in oil,wax,or budder after processing. you are not ingesting it, or breathing it when using oil. Just your friendly neighborhood chemist.Įdit: I forgot to add you can set up the system using n-butane, but that would just be harder, much harder.īutane is non toxic !!, it evaporates completely !. I would like to note that I have not made bho, but have extracted plenty of organic compounds from substance. Soxhlet has to benefit of being able to run for hrs to get to maximum yield from the herb, and much better retention of solvent. If anyone wants to know how to set a system up using a soxhlet, feel free to ask. Just wanted to give the opinion of a guy who had to do this stuff for hrs on end. I mean no disrespect to anyone who has already bought it. And no worries about metal impurities since you are only dealing with glass. Hexane also has to added benifit of being easier to get, and much much much less likely to blow up. You are also better off using hexane since, again it will be cheaper, and much more effiecient. I suggest getting a soxhlet extractor, it is not very hard to set up, cheaper, and much more effiecient. While the system might look nice, I find it ridiculous the amount of time the compound and the solvent come in contact are not enough to time to do a proper extraction. And not once did we use a flammable gas to purify a compound, there are much better alternatives. First I have say that I worked in a large university lab, working if solvents and organic compounds, purifying and all of that fun stuff. As someone who has working in a oraganic chemistry lab, I find this entire process painful inificient and wasteful.
