I know this may be a hard one to answer,but what are some average yields like say with 28 grams of frosty popcorn nugs in.
What might you suggest with with a first timer running oil, I have about 2zips left of some fruity Sour D that would love to try this on,But don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.
We do have a bad ass head shop so I guess I can take him this picture to blow me a tube like you showed.Would cheese cloth be a good filter to use ?
What HD said using popcorn and sweet trim, with a single pass column. It all depends on the material.
With prime bud, my record with a repack and second run was 21.6% and the average was closer to 17/18% with the strains that we run.
With our closed system, our record was 23.7% absolute, which is around 25% raw BHO oleoresin, before winterizing.
Popcorn can mean any number of things, and those yields were all over the place.
Doing more research is a good idea, and if you can find some leaf or trim to run first, to shake out any problems, more the better. I developed my own extraction techniques using fan leaves, that were low yield and low quality oil, but were free. Less tears when I blew the bottom out of a column and splattered oil everywhere and fumbling with everything until it was like clockwork.
There is also more to a boro silicate exctraction tube than meets the eye. When your glass worker closes the injection end of the heavy wall, ask him to make at uniform dome radius, of uniform thickness, because with the thermal cycling, if the stresses are not evenly distributed, they will cause spalling of the glass at the injection port when cold.
Also make sure he fully anneals it after forming, to eliminate residual stresses.
I have had the best extraction efficiency, by keeping the ID of my columns under 1".
I use a scientific glass shop to make ours, for that reason and stopped having failures.

How much butane do you normally blow through a 10 gram tube? Curious to see how much people are using
I no longer smoke BHO due to the lubricants used. You cant purge those out like butane.
Smoking these lubricants over time will attack your nervous system.
If you are going to use butane in the very least please try and use human grade butane.
I dont want anyone getting the shakes in a year or two.
What lubricants are in butane?
What lubricants are in butane?
Ive been told by a club owner and a maker of serious butane extractions. The person who makes the butane extraction told me that the butane in the can was not fit for human consumption, was never intended for the way we are using it. He went on to further say that there was only one place to get human grade butane. That place is in Texas. He might be wrong but who knows. If you want a cleaner product this higher grade should be used. He went on to say that there are lubricants used in the cans. The lubricants are what help the butane to move through working metal parts. He told me that these lubricants are what prolonged exposure to is very bad when you smoke them. Smoking bho daily might not be very safe.
He might be wrong, but until more is known ive quit, along with many of my friends. In fact we all have now quit smoking bho.
Im not trying to scare anyone or highjack this thread. Im simply relaying what ive been told.
If you are starting with 100% clean butane then im sure your extractions are the best Greywolf. You know what you are doing.
Have you heard reports of anything added to canned butane?
Yeah, search the words butane and 'mirror' and you'll find brand discussion. I've used a lot of vector but switched to lucienne for considerably lower cost and what seems to be a slightly cleaner blend even though it's only 4x (no evidence, jmo based on final purged product comparison, and while secondary to quality price is a powerful suggestor for me).Great info, I just picked up vacuum chamber and pump.. Waiting on extractor, but I'm gonna try this method first.. So Vector is the butane alot of people are using?
Hey bro nice post! Just to let you know though, the power 5x is only really 3x refined.. Much inferior product compared to Vector...
