Evaping indoors with a gas stove.

BOOOOM!
nah they were outside. pump must have sparked or something. and still after reading gray wolf saying its ok, I wouldn't have an electric pump near my open oil. haha fuck it glad Ive been away from open blasting for a few years now. CLS all day haha

yield is very good, It can clog easier so I usually do a 70/30 or 60/40 mix of trim and sift.
I had some issues with clogging too. Good idea to mix. So you think if I dry sift a pound I would get a similar yield to as if I just blew the bud? Im excited to try lol

What did they have in their oven? Was there visible LPG when they put it in?

This was separate from the oven. They were using a vacuum pump hooked up to a Büchner funnel to dewax 200ml of -45* open blasted Bho.
I remember when I'd open up my passive 10gal chamber after dewaxing the exact same amount and there was always a decent amount of cold vapor and a tiny bit of liquid every once in a while

So last time I used dry sift I didn't have an extractor so I soaked it in a mason jar for like 15 minutes and then poured it through a coffee filter. Should I do this again to avoid clogging or do you guys think using an extractor tube would be better?

Also if anyone cares lol....after doing a second tube of the same material I think me flipping the slab is maybe what caused it to turn to crumble. I had some trouble getting it to flip lol. I was more careful this time and it still looks clear like the 1st batch did before it turned to crumble. It's still not very stable at room temp tho.

I would use a tube and blast it using the method I said when you mix it with trim. Insane yields

Where are you getting material from? Are you sure it hasn't been sprayed with anything? Have you had the same results from multiple sources? As far as not being able to get it stable? One growers material I get always comes out gold but sappy for some reason and I know it's not machine trimmed or sprayed with anything in flower. So I always have to crumble his stuff or use an ISO butane blend

one reason why we change our pump oil after each vac session. To rid of contaminants it accumulates during purging.

@Graywolf
What say you on using these pumps for purging? Any issue of explosions with a normal robinaire type pump we use?
He would be the go to guy on purging
@Graywolf we weren't talking about purging though. We were talking about hooking up a vacuum pump to a Büchner funnel for dewaxing bho. There's no way for tane fumes to get into the pump?

I grew the material myself. But every once in a while I will process someone else's material for them and it seems like it's harder to get my stuff to come out stable

When you purge, your doing the same thing. Only your using a vac chamber and said pump. Both are vaccing solvents thru the pump.
Ya there's a tiny bit of solvent when it's in the vacuum oven purging, but nothing close to dewaxing. There's not 2000ml of straight liquid tane when you're purging.

haha ok... I have a custom Terpp mk4c, cause I have a friend who used to work for Terpp, who consulted me years ago and how to run my system...it sounds like you're new to this, I run between 20-50lb of material a day, EVERY DAY.... no its not rocket science here...its thermodynamics. are you running for crude oil when you run 25-30lbs of solvent? I would be shocked to see that much solvent returning piss yellow oil. what "solvent tank" tank are you running? any by the way, there are recovery tanks AND solvent tanks, just depends on the application (whats your IG, id like to see the people stating its not a recovery tank). and whoever you're talking to that says running 16lbs through a column isn't enough is dead wrong. if that were the case then why would I be getting back 10-17% returns on trim? and thats also what every big extractor I know runs...im @quail_extracts on ig if you wanna check my page.
Oh checked you out btw. And also been running a lot of crude, yup standard around 25 to 30 lbs before it runs clear when running and that includes flooding the column for five minutes to get as much out from the first initial push. Obviously you don't make crude or distillate. I have tweaked some of my methods and have gone down to using 20 lbs of solvent over 4 lbs of material for shatter runs. I guess I have to thank you for that. As for being new, close loop trapping for a little over a year now. So I guess yes decently. I also don't work for anyone, as I can tell you sound like a lab hand for that extraction company "Quail Extracts", saw the "bent"syrup lol (cannalean, and a opiate cough syrup reference rip off that's disgusting to say the least).
If I commented any sooner to this I feel as though I would not be so tactful

Omg not 20-50 EVERYDAY?!?!
Lol that should be standard for anyone extracting with as large as a set up as mine or yours. If you want when I go to the farm tomorrow when I go to work, and I can take a pic of 2000 lbs laying around that's already ran and am waiting on an ethanol wash. Oh and I don't work for an extraction company. All black market. :D

Sorry @ForrestGUMP I had a couple shots of Pendleton, gets me a little fiery and can't hold my tongue. You will do great, and make sure to freeze your slab when flipping if your concerned about agitation causing nucleation.

One more thing lol.... what size micron should I use for the dry sift?

My nickname is Quail, so it's actually my company, along with a partner. We currently have our lawyers working on getting us licensed for the new rec market in Cali. And yes, I do make crude and a buddy makes our distilite. Thats what goes in our Bent syrup and Real Heal topical balm. I'd rather have 75% thc crude with a smaller yield than more crude at 60%. I run my crude the same way I would run good material for shatter, 16lbs of solvent for 4lbs of material. I've had multiple people say my crude looks like it's already been winterized. As far as the Bent Syrup being like a opiate knock off...I can totally see that, it was actually my partners idea. But we don't market it like the other cannalean companies, we have bartenders make non alcoholic mixed drinks with it at events, the only people who even get the reference are people familiar with "lean". I've gotten a few people I know off of the opiate by switching to our syrup. And countless vets love it because they can just take a teaspoon before bed and it helps them sleep through the night with their ptsd. So if you think that's a bad thing, I'm fine with it.
