Hey guys, first time posting here but I've been lurking for awhile. After many extractions, I have found myself with lower yields/ratios than I have been reading about. I think the problem lies in my extraction process. Here's what I'm doing:
-Using high quality trim/popcorn nugs, and running them in a dehydrator for about an hour or until completely dried.
-Then I take my tube (approx. 1.5'' diameter x 12'' long, made out of glass), and I pack about 100g into it, making sure to take out all the stems. (I do not grind the trim/small nugs, I just pack the tube tightly)
-I use 3-4 coffee filters on the end, and secure them with a hose clamp.
-I run about 2 cans of Vector per run, holding down constant pressure the entire time.
-I blow into a pyrex dish in a warm, temp controlled water bath
-After my first run, I unpack the tube and let the plant matter warm up and crumble
-I repack the tube, and run another 2 cans of Vector in the same fashion.
-I let my oil purge for about 1-3 hours at a constant temp. around 115 F
After this I am only getting about a 11:1 ratio, which kind of sucks. If anyone can give me suggestions on how to improve my technique/process, it would be much appreciated.
