60F is probably too cold, depending on what your separator pressure is... If you would like to run at 60F, you will need to lower your separator pressure, which can be achieved by changing your orifice to something smaller. The reason I say you need to lower separator pressure is because if you looked at a phase diagram, you'll see that the reason you created a puck of dry ice, is because you were more than likely creating solid, and/or liquid CO2 in your separators.
Or... if you would like to maintain high flow rates and not put a smaller orifice in your separator, you can just raise extractor temp up to 70-75F, this will maintain a good, high separator pressures which means high flow rates, and you'll still be able to get THCA build up on the walls of your separator. This THCA buildup is what is used for making glass like shatter. Keep in mind, if your plant material is not fresh, or has been decarbed you will NOT be able to make good glass like shatter. Shatter becomes hard, or crystalline, because of THCA's ability to crystallize, whereas THC will not crystallize. I would be happy to speak with you, or anyone else on the phone about this, and we can go into more depth. Feel free to text or call me, 812-697-4317, or you can email me at
