Hi guys;
I bought something iv been wanting/ needing for a while to finish my workup of DMT from tryptamine - a vacuum chamber/dessicator.
To be honest it was a double whammy because it came with a pump and whatever else it needs to work but yeah I’m interested in the pump.
It says it comes with some oil but I’m wondering, do they just work off of mineral oil, or do I have to buy special ‘pump oil’?
Its just a rotary vane pump, I doubt it will be all that powerful as there are definitely bigger ones out there so not super sure how useful it would be for vacuum distillation but really any drop in temp could be useful at some stage.
I do intend to get one of those 1/4” screw connector cables, that I can then attach to a 3 way adapter with a mm/hg manometer on it instead of whatever those car guys like, or whatever those AC guys like…
Anyway, iv done this RXN twice now and simply need a vacuum dessicator to turn it “to a ‘waxy - scrapable’ substance…”
Man I wish I’d started with PEA’s. Oh well! What gets you interested in organic chem, gets you into it I guess….
