I have one of BVV closed column extractors (Link). It came with 150 micron screens, but since, I got smaller screens. At first I used the 100 micron and got better results. Like to experiment to find the best screen so I went ahead and got the other sizes for sale.
Is there any 1 mesh size recommended for this?
25, 50, 100 or 150 micron?
I will be using it primarily with fresh frozen flower (Live resin)
thanks dirt, my thoughts as welll.
Ansel, your pointing to a method that I was also thinking of... do a run with the 25, then at least another run with a larger screen. If the 25 micron is used, there has to still be some that doesn't pass through...
I'd get at least 2 batches per run, but the first run will be the head stash, the rest can walk out the door I guess.
*Found and article this morning that trichomes are in the 4-5 micron size, so the 25 should do the trick if it's packed and loaded properly with a good soak... will definitely be doing other runs to see what comes of the 150 or lower screens after 1 run.
I'm a bit confused by this post, and honestly not sure that you understand how BHO works..thanks dirt, my thoughts as welll.

First, bulbous trichs are around 15 or so microns, but the 2 different capitate resin heads are between 50-100 microns in size.
Which is why you can catch them with a 33 micron screen for bubblehash.
And I apologize if you know this already, but based on your post I cant honestly tell... with BHO you are rinsing the oil out from inside these resin heads, you dont want the actual resin head itself, just the oil inside it.
So screen size Should be 25-50 micron if you want to filter most out, But less than 10 micron if you want to filter all the resin heads out and be left with just the oil.
I think you understand it just fine, But I think Mtown was under the impression he was extracting resin heads, rather than just the resin.Makes sense to me. I am fairly new to all of this so my processing is specifically to create shatter. I know there are several "types". In particular my goal is the glass, snap shatter so i filter out as many impurities as possible. I am certainly in "learning mode" which is what i am getting here. Thanks all.
... I will look for the screen stacker dirt showed above. This is all for personal use, I can't afford an expensive attachment, I hope it's in my range, id like to get it clearer.
thanks for alll the help, very useful.
That would be great. I found some, not sure it’s as short. Thanks again
Thanks, explains your rig much better. Off to bvvv.
