Hexane can ordered online, or at a local chemical store if they have one around you. I have heard isohexane is much better and does not have the toxicity problems that hexane has. Unfortunately it is restricted. Some people use acetone which works just as well I bet, without the need to worry...

I have worked with hexane, it really is not that dangerous if precautions are taken. Food for thought, hexane has a health rating or 1 and n-butane has a health rating of 1. But n-butane has a flammability rating of 4, while hexane only 3. Under proper conditions, if you know what your doing...

Ahh I see, well a soxhlet, works differently from what I can imagine you used. The herb would be put into a column, alot like the tanisium. The solvent is pored on the column and when it goes through the material it is then filtered with a cloth or mesh into a flask. The flask would be a warm...

All I said when I looked at the machine is that it works like a giant soxhlet extractor, the concept is really similar, if not the same. I have no interest in selling anything, just providing free information about devices the generaly public might not know about. While I will admit if you wish...

How long and what solvent did you use to run it? There are ways to purify the wax out with cold acetone. The machine is a giant soxhlet extractor in my opinion just a lot less efficient. Have you ever tried running ice cold water through the condenser making the less likely to dissolve the waxes?

From working with hexane, it is no more toxic then working with butane, and still safer. hexane will completely evaporate give enough time. And you still have the benefit of being able to reuse hexane. As long as you wear gloves and take the proper precautions. My main concern with the system...

As someone who has working in a oraganic chemistry lab, I find this entire process painful inificient and wasteful. 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. And not once did we use a flammable gas to...

Again the point of the fed is to control interest rates, which is necessary when you are a foreign investor, or any investor. Who would invest in a country and buy the currency when they know that it is to the whims of any out side power and you can have high inflation or deflation happen at a...

Yes in a perfect world, but again we are dealing with a very imperfect global environment. How would the market deal with countries keeping there currency low i.e. china, giving them an unfair trade advantage. Massive shifts in the market because of unforeseen global problems i.e. Europe debt...

If the market controlled interest rates fear would play way to much of a role on deflation and inflation. We live in a world of finacial insecurity in the states. Many people do not realise that we live in a global economy, no country is in a bubble. To get foreign investment into the country...

Please show me where in my post where I was wrong and I am a idiot for stating a fact. The fact that you think that simply cutting taxes are going to lead to people spending more and creating more jobs and foolish and shows how little you know about economics. Just because people have lower...

Please show me this article, because if you talk to any business owner, my family, this is just NOT TRUE. I will repeat you can cut taxes to zero if you have no demand for your product or services you do not hire. Taxes have been their lowest in decades. I ask you this where are the jobs? FYI...

How is downsizing a already wastful and unnecessary large military a dumb ass move. Should we continue to pay for widely over priced military, or spend the money on more important things, and help the retired soldiers find civilian jobs. FYI: This is a move that has been called on by many...

The only reason that the government does this is because people vote people in power that want to do this. If people would remember that it is the government of the people, and we have a wonderful system where people can be voted out of office. To bad most people don't vote, or care to research...

The argument being made is not that Romney or any other "1%" is making to much money, and that other people are envious that it should be taken away and given to some one else. argument is that Romney benefited from many of the benefits that our government pays for. He drives on the same roads...

After many many failures on my previous grows I think I got it right this time. I have a cabinet that is 18x24x35. I have gathered most of the supplies, only thing left is to gather supplies and build a diy carbon filter. Lighting: Starting out w/ 16 23w CFL ( softwhite), and 4 13w...

I am sorry voting is useless, the system is set up so that you have a choice between guy who stabs in back. Or the guy who stabs in the front. I don't agree with Ron Paul on a good amount of issues, but it would nice to know when I voted for him I knew exactly what I am going to get. Exactly the...

I was able to pierce it with a steak knife to test it out, I think i can manage. I have been thinking about using my 400w in there and building a custom 4 in cool tube to fit. I wonder if a td-100 would cool the hood, while my td-100x would be on my filter for the room.

I'm just going to use the hack saw for now, I can always go to target if all else fails. How hard could it be it hack through a plastic shelf

When I went to home depot I didn't find the sterilite. Now I am really regretting not going to target and getting it there. I am just going to hack saw the shelf instead, I doubt plastic would be that hard to cut through.
