can anyone tell me why my crc chamber is trapping all my thc and im getting almost no final product ( went from 25-28 grams down to .5 grams , no typo . im using silica on top , activated alumina in the middle , and activated bentonite clay on the bottom … ran it three times so far all with the same results , butane comes threw just fine but no / barely any shatter makes it past the crc … please help
You weren’t running enough hydrocarbon through your material. When you just do an extraction without a CRC column A good rule of thumb is 3-5 lb per pound of material, with crc you want about 7.5-10

thanks for the tip newchop, going to run some more butane threw my remediation chamber and hopefully that will help pull it out , from what ive been hearing im assuming its stuck in my silica, going to use more burtane in the future and way less silica
Is be wary of using too much alumina too. There have been reports of it reducing yields as well.

Yeah I ran the same material for a while and when I used more silica then I would normally I lost some yield
I only use b 80 and crash out overnight you just have to bake it

Start at 95 degrees in your vac oven if there is no action go hotter it’s material dependent but with crc slabs I stay between 95-110 the less stable will be fine purging at 95 but the more stable stuff will have to go hotter around 110

Some folks just like the slabs my friend, still trying to figure it out myself. ill keep making as long as they paying

Throughput for the win if you ask me. I apply that concept to both extraction and post processing.

At the end of the day, volume is what pays the bills.

Yep. Maximum yields in the shortest amount of time, with anywhere from acceptable to exceptional quality.

Carbon chemistry all the way. I’ve tried a lot of others too, can’t get near the same results as CC. Using activated carbon, t41, T5, magsil pr and silica 60. Turning gold to platinum,

You’re using all of them together? Why all the carbon (ac and t41)? Why the magsil?
T5 and silica 60 are the only ones recommended out of the ones you posted there, if you care about staying true to the terpene profile

Why are you putting your non polar extract in those plastic containers? Wtf…
