Noso if I have a tank of c02 and an extractor i use for BHO;and I make an adapter so I can blast the c02 instead of the tane what is going to happen?
CO2 is a much better solvent for thc than butane because it is a much smaller non polar molecule. the same process is used to decaffeinate coffeeI'm sure it can be better, but the yields are significantly different.... THC in soluble in butane, but not co2 ( which is why people that have co2 hash oil tax out the ass) Personally I would prefer to vacuum purge the shit to near zero impurities, & have more.

I doubt itIt is out of a commercial SCF extraction unit. I hope to have some out of a DIY unit, but I have to build one first.
Perhaps in the interim CO2extractor has some DIY pictures to share.
Honey child butane thats in wax would combust when it hits the red hot nail. (C4H10+O2+heat--->H2O +CO2).Yeah, when you concentrate butane and SMOKE it, it's way less harmless than inhaling it lol. You should read some of the thing you're posting before you do it. Also OMG you're a chemist? Where'd you go to school? What kind of degree do you have? Where do you teach? I'd love to know more about your infinite knowledge of chemistry. And about it being bullshit, you only say that because you were taught to only focus on newer AMERICAN studies when it comes to this. Butane has been studied since long before this country was founded, and turning a blind eye to those points founded over a hundred years ago doesn't do your field any service. Also turning your eyes away from a study because it was performed on living humans is another way to introduce such idiocies.
Four people hospitalized, two with a collapsed lungs. The only thing they smoked was earwax. End of discussion.
(It's come quickly to my attention that you are mostly just amateurs to the field. When you need the advice of a real pro, you can not find me anywhere online because I'm too busy growing 100 pounds a month. If you need me though, look up huge warehouses that make you look bad by comparison ;))
Does industry still want c02 extract? Seems like the pens are coming up big. Sorry for responding to a late post, looking to invest in a SFE C02 machine.Nothing, except for maybe making some dry ice. CO2 extraction requires that the C02 be at least liquid, if not super critical.

can u tell us any specifics about the machine ur using? or the temp ur running at? i also make co2 oil and im just curious
i understand and im not looking for parameters for my machine im just curious. ive also wondered if others who do subcritical extractions ever use heat above the critical temperature but just keep the pressure below critical
is there any way to tell how much co2 u flow thru the material in a given extraction? like if u weren't recycling the co2 how much tanks would u go thru in one of ur extractions?
Are you getting 300 grams of oil per 1000? Nice!I run my system at subcritical.
so you are saying that you are putting oil straight from the collection cup into carts with out any winterizing? How are your d9 thc percentages looking?I have to disagree with the yields being different. I achieve on average 20% yields and higher with my apeks extraction system. Of course this all depends on the quality of your flower, extraction parameters, strain type and cannabinoid percentage of your starting material. But they should be relatively the same for both. The cool thing about CO2 though is you can really pin point what essential oils you want to extract unlike other conventional methods. For example I'm able to fraction out pure terpenes first, then my cannabinoids second without extracting any of the fats, lipids or waxes out. By doing so, I'm also able to make pure/clear CO2 shatter if my starting material hasn't been decarboxylated first. And if it has been, I'm able to make a clear and clean distillate looking material that's taken straight from the colection cup without any post refining. This requires very specific parameters for you temperature and pressure to achieve though.
Also THC is definitely soluble in CO2. That's how it's able to essentially get extracted in the first place. Only liquid or supercritical CO2 can act as a solvent. The other two phases (gas & solid) do not act as a solvent, but the gas penetrates through the material. That's why supercritical CO2 is able to extract twice as fast as subcritical because it takes on both phases of gas and liquid at the same time, thus passing through the material with ease and dissolving it at the same time.
