Hey,
I've been wondering if anyone on here has a Critical CO2 machine and if so, could they give a review?

No review, but I would be hesitant to order one. The pictures provided appear to be in the guys living room and they couldn't even get a clean co2 tank for the promo shot. Also uses a generic email addy, most professional folks wouldn't really do that. Website also has a fly by night feel.
I could be horribly offbase though, no experience with the product, just initial reaction to it.
What are the processing capacities for the Apeks unit. For example how many pounds do you start with and how many pounds are resultant?I'm currently running a 5LD 2000 series Apeks extraction unit. And I love it! It's easy to use if you know what you're doing and unlike any other sources of extraction you can pinpoint and extract different oils based of volatility. Such as pure terpenes. Only thing negative is startup costs are expensive (ours was over 100k). Let me know if you have any questions about it and I'd love to answer!

Thank you sir for your quick reply. What the temp and pressure parameters you use? In essence what I’m asking is are these the steps to achieve the result?
1. Grind the trim
2. Dehumidify the trim
3. Decarboxylate the trim
4. Load extractor with trim
5. Extract the oil
Thank you again.
im curious as to what ur starting material is. i hav a much less sophisticated machine with 1 lbs capacity and i use indoor trim with settings at 2000 psi and 100f and i get about 7-9 percent in about 5 hoursSince my system is the 5 liter I can only process 2.2 pounds at a time (1000 grams). I usually get about 15% to 20%+ yields. So roughly 1/3 a pound to a little less than a half pound of oil from my extraction in a 7 hour run at subcritical settings. (Average yield is about 10% for most extractors, so I'm not saying you will be guaranteed to get that percentage) It's all based off your parameters and starting material. There is the 20LD system that costs more but you do get more out of it (obviously). It's over $15k extra to upgrade and takes over twice as long to extract your material. They do have other higher capacity ones as well that you can see on their website http://www.apekssupercritical.com/
