Hey all, pretty new to the extraction process. Learning blast by blast. I am running into some issues with my slab waxing up in certain areas during vacuum purge.
I'm running Mataro Blue through my stainless steel open blasting tube.
I'm drying 30 grams flower after being chopped up for a day.
I'll pack and vacuum the extractor tube and freeze in my freezer over night.
From there I blast my 300ml can 5x filter butane into frozen tube untill the tube and can equalize.
I attach vibrator and wrap in cold packs.
Then back into freezer for 30 mins with butane in the tube.
Pull from freezer and blast any remaining butane that will go into the tube.
Open bottom valve and extrude into 8x12 glass pyrex dish.
After all liquid butane has off gassed I add to griddle and continue off gassing untill all large bubbles are gone. Keeping 110 maximum temp.
Scrape with razor blade onto silicone mat, trying to minimize "whipping"
From there I try an have the thinnest layer of oil possible and enter into my vacuum chamber. I Have it on a ceramic hot plate. Inside my chamber I have a rack set up so my silicone mat isnt directly on the bottom of the vacuum chamber.
I bring the temperature of the material to 90-100 and begin purging. After only 2 hours everything has settled down and virtually stopped reacting.
I open vacuum and flip slab over, bring to temperature again. Pull vacuum for another hour and by then parts start to wax up.
This is right after running all the butane through my tube. Dont worry, I have that electrical box un plugged from the wall.
I've tried the hot water bath too.
Right before scrape.
In the chamber before the flip.
This one here was one of the cleanest, best tasting slabs yet. But had the least yeild.
Here in the upper middle you notice the wax starting. Different slab. Same strain.
You can see the bottom of this one is starting to wax up.
They all finish as a bend and snap consistency. I'm wonder how people get that swiss cheese looking like slab with all the holes in it. All while being that brittle like consistency.
Any productive criticism is welcom. Thank you.
