I am really enjoying my machine. I have had the SuperC for about five months. It takes me between 3 and 4 hours to do a run of around 25 grams (equipment prep, bud-cleaning, extraction, start to finish). I usually get around 4 grams of oil each time. I'm not adding or subtracting anything from the oil. I extract the terpines and other cannabinoids from the plant to keep them together. I am not winterizing, so I'm mostly getting cloudy oils, but they are really tasty and powerful. Others reported clear oils, but I don't think they are preserving the terpines.Hope I'm not too late to this party. I was so happy to find a thread on this particular machine as I believe it is the only somewhat affordable table top co2 extractor out there? (I could just be old too..)
Are you guys getting consistent, repeatable results? Still feel like it was a solid purchase?
Hi Robsanhi, I'm still on the fence about whether I should winterize, or not. I've used ethanol for extraction before, but never get terpenes doing that. The CO2 pulls terpenes, but wouldn't the ethanol destroy them? I'm really trying to find a solution to my cloudiness that will preserve the whole plant goodness. :) Cheers.Winterizing will remove the waxes. It's a pretty simple process. ... Then evaporate the ethanol. Ok, maybe not that simple :).

Anyone found a simple method for small (tiny) production winterizing that doesn't involve buying a lot of expensive equipment?
How else do you extract them? The only way I know how to get the terps is to do a subcritical run first. The degrading of them that I'm aware of occurs during the subsequent extraction/processing steps. I don't know how else but to remove the terps from the field after extraction, and keep them separate from the rest of the extracts. Add them back in as the very last step.I haven't seen anyone mention that extracting the terps at a subcritical run first may benefit a lot of you worried about degrading the terps.
I fully agree with that. If someone is trying to produce the quantity from a dispensary, then there's no substitution for the $80k+ units. I am, on the other hand, only allowed to legally possess a couple of ounces at a time, so the big machine seems a bit overkill. :)IF you plan on using this Super C as your business model for others to use and profit off of, then you may want to do some research on bigger extraction methods.
My super c and expansion rack was delivered today!Hi everyone,
I am hoping to find other users of the OCO Labs' SuperC extractor to share ideas, tips, tricks, and whatever else comes up.
I have had my unit for a little more than a month, and I'm loving it. I get a nice oil that goes straight from collection vessel to vape cartridge, after a few trials-ending-with-errors. :) I'm waiting for my lab results, but I've sampled this batch and it is, of all of my runs, "Max Flavor and Max Potency." (If you read the included "Quick Start" guide, that phrase might sound familiar to you. Lol)
Let's connect, if you want to share experiences with other SuperC Users, WOW us with your fantastic extraction run stories, make us laugh at funny happenings, and let us cry with you when you learn what not to do. Tell us about your experience with the unit, ask for help if you need it, and answer questions if you know it. :)
Cheers,
CannaGirl
I have noticed a difference in the effects of the CO2 oils that I have been getting, compared to flowers. I am somewhat skeptical of the terpene profile, since none of them taste anything like a full extract (like BHO or an ethanol extraction). The tastes are very strong, some like pine sol. I enjoy the oils but I find that they just don't give me the same effect as smoking flowers. The oils I have been getting don't help with nausea nearly as much or as quickly as flowers, regardless of the strain. As a oil extractor, does this sound like a common problem with the terpenes just being added back like a recipe. I haven't noticed any difference between the flavor of batches, other than them being strong. Is there anything that isn't extracted in a C02 run that would explain the difference in effect?By finished oil, I mean winterized, then adding back 8-12% of terps and flavors to get a 1 gram cartridge. My patients love the product, people from other parts of the country have said its some of the best they have had, hella smooth, great flavor, and a kick. I am using Extract Consultants and Denver Terpenes for the terps and flavors.

Reading over all the amazing information you've got down. I will definitely add to it, as soon as I do a couple of flower runs. Today we did two runs with trim. In a few weeks I'll have plenty of quality bud to experiment with.
Thanks
