kool thx for the link. I did a run yesterday and it came out pretty dark, i it cuz my water was too hot? And my pump is only hitting 26.7 hg is that bad?

google where you live. find out your elevation.

for every 1000 feet (300m) above sea level you are. it is a 3.5% loss in vacuum.

I am 2200 feet... 7+% loss. I can only get 93% vacuum.

29.9 x .93 = 27.8 my vacuum gauge seems to get around 27.5... so yeah. thats about my max.


26.7 means you re at 3000 feet elevation/1000m. no its not bad.


yes, warm water does sometimes make it darker. also, older material does too. as well as if the plant is a sativa or an indica. fresh material run with low temps produces something like this ive found:

JEEEEEZ THATS SOME SIK GLASS! Ya my material is not the freshest but stanky. i am only at about 100 feet above sea level tho not 3000

is it bad at my alititude that im only getting 26.7?

yes. you should be getting 29.5 at least.

could be that you need to run your vacuum longer, or get a smaller chamber/bigger vacuum.

why is it bad that its only getting to 26.7

Because it takes you more heat and longer vacuum to remove the solvent, which can change the end product.
