Okay so im kinda new to this I guess. Just having trouble getting a nice shatter consistency, always come out crumble, which isn't really a problem I guess. Just want some shatter. I've tried dropping temps, but it just doesn't seem to be purging very well because of how hard it is. What should I do? Maybe a better vacuum?
Well its been with a Few different strains, every just come out pretty much the same, I usually hover around 120, I try to go lower, but it just doesn't look to be bubbling up very much. Is it just still purging out even though I can't see it or what should I do.What strain are you using?
what temp are you using?
weed with more terpenes will cause a soupy concentrate.
It's always pretty much like this. Not bad, I just want that nice see through shatter.
Yes with Demon, lower temp around 110 is perfect. Also freezing your column and solvent will almost always make shatter when purged at 110. That's how you make it very clear.It's always pretty much like this. Not bad, I just want that nice see through shatter.

Yep. I keep the solvent tank on dry ice. Pack the plant material in a 3x18 and put on dry ice for a couple hours before pouring. And I also run a jacketed 3x18 with coffee filters after the plant material column. Vac oven right around 110. Muffin top overnight then smooths out. Do a couple more days with a bunch of flips.
We've found the right temperature to be in there somewhere, and varies by strain, but it is the exact temperature that the puddle fully melts, allowing the bubbles to break the surface tension and escape. Typically around 110 to 115F with the strains we've extracted. I go to 120 when purging ethanol, because it retains high surface tension even melted, and blows huge bubbles that resist bursting.
Is this a closed loop? If so I have some suggestions and questions.Yep. I keep the solvent tank on dry ice. Pack the plant material in a 3x18 and put on dry ice for a couple hours before pouring.

How do you build any pressure to inject solvent if its in dry ice? I honestly don't see that even working. I have to put warm water on my solvent tank to gain pressure to push solvent. Why not have a conductor coil hose in dry ice? This makes much more sense IMO for efficiency and speed.I keep the solvent tank on dry ice.
Coffee filters? Are you just adding these filters on a gasket as your building up the system? Please elaborate.And I also run a jacketed 3x18 with coffee filters after the plant material column
What I do is put the oven on and let the oil sit in at that temp over night without vac. The next morning when I get over there it is nice and spread out over the sheet and when I vac it down it doesn't muffin at all so it makes it easy peezy to vac down and walk away.Muffin top overnight then smooths

Yes that clears up a lot of questions, thank you. Yeah the hose was a game changer for me because I was doing everything manually with dry ice. I keep my coil in a five gal bucket filled about 1/3 of acetone or denatured alcohol with dry ice on it. Obviously your methods work judging by your slab in the earlier pic. Well done sir!Just looked up conductor coil hose and that does seem like a good idea. Might look into getting one. I just want the butane cold as possible when hitting material.
Sorry its a condenser coil, must have been really stoned when I wrote that. I buy my equipment from a guy locally who sources it from other places. But my condenser coil looks almost identical to this :Do you have a link to the hose?
