Experiment Update: Wax Yield Increase Theory-
General Theory: Using more alcohol & more seconds in shake, may likely result in more yield.
Experiment Results: Theory DISPROVED after test set 1.
Using Additional Alcohol and a few more seconds on the shake did NOT increase yields.
In fact, less was pulled from the additional alcohol batch, telling us that this apparently depends entirely on base product and not on extra time or extra liquid.
Test Process:
I ran 2 batches to see if using more alcohol really matters.
Results:
Batch 1, 330 grams product. 10-12 second shake, lower amount of everclear per shake.
Result WAX: 16 grams.
Batch 2, 330 grams product. 16-20 second shake, much larger amount of everclear per shake.
Result WAX: 13 grams.
Final Thoughts:
I noticed with batch 2, seemed to be ready much faster and less water to evaporate after sitting all night. So this tends me to believe the batch 2 is potentially a stronger power batch and thus, when making vape oil, in theory batch 2 could stretch farther in a 4:1 or 5:1 oil to wax, when my batches are generally always just a 3:1 ratio.
So if batch 1 would make you 30 vape cartridges and batch 2 would make you 50, then experiment would be a success in final product.
Of course I can't test this theory, but if you could test THC in each run result, you would have this answer. The look and gooey feel is much better than the batch 1, but shit, final quality/strength could be exactly the same. :)
MIKO - OUT
Actually the whole experiment is quite disappointing yield.
I used 660 grams of decent trim and resulted in only 29 grams of wax.
