LMAO. Then get your ass on the committee and make sure it doesn’t happen…

See you guys in San Diego!
I’m filling the application now…
I used to set my jars on a towel that rests on a dry ice block and I would get a good clean crash of fats and no visible oil. Or so I thought…Unfortunately the fact is it would take a considerable volume of butane to selectively reject “fats” and not thc
I recently got my samples lab tested and the results were consistent with the idea that butane (non polar) will reject the thc when chilled to cryo levels.
I set aside my crude and terpene fraction
Crude: Verify | CWLIMS
Terps: Verify | CWLIMS
The crude was decarbed for production prior to testing.

if butane at -80C doesn’t hold cannabinoids, why is everybody and their mother suggesting running the actual extractions at cryogenic temperatures?
@Pharmer_Joe you’re my gold standard for “how cold can you get your solvent”. what says you?

I think it has to do a lot with the volume of solvent. With enough solvent the cannabinoids will stay dissolved.

Solubility changes with temperature. If you have a dilute sample @-80C, THCA wont crash out, but the lipids will. Extracting at cold (-50C or lower) temperatures, you need relatively more solvent but, the majority of lipids will remain with the plant materials. Also the monoterpenes arent volatile at very low temps and will be extracted more efficiently.

So basically if I drop my Tane into second jacket column… Then let sit FULLY saturated, the fats will swell and the thca doesn’t fall out at all? Is this right? If so I’m getting 6x6 open jacket and doing 2nd stage soon( if my runs are never more than 7-14 g do you really think I would clog a 4x8 open jacket for my 2nd stage if I’m doing prior Dewaxing column for material?, Trying to save lil money if I don’t need that large 6x6, my main material column is 2x6 and my big one 2x24, I never use the 2 material columns at same time and it’s a CLS)… Maybe I can start soaking a lil longer in my material column then… It jacket too… This is 2nd stage dewax right, single solvent…
And one more about real winterizeing
But if ethol winterizeing wouldn’t be considered good then what the next best thing…I have bf and would never use on my good stuff, but my second run if I do or anything I considered lower grade I bf then use in Vapes… Just wondering if something would be considered better
And if I’m using a cls with coil and 2nd stage dewax could I potientally remove all the wax and not have to winterize for my Vapes?
I was hoping someone with more knowledge could help me out with figuring out a good way to do a single solvent dewaxing. I don’t have an inline on my extractor so was hoping I could pour the extract from the collection pot into something like a stainless nutsche filter? Would this be do able? I was hoping to do cryo-temps in something for 2-3 hours and then filter through, just not sure what would be the best way to accomplish doing a single solvent dewax outside of the extractor. Also how much solvent should I leave in collection chamber for dewaxing?
Has anyone used the inline dewaxing column from ETS on the MEP or mini? I didn’t think it was worth it, originally but now with diamonds being in such high demand, I could see it being useful if it works. I’m trying to find the best way to get the wax out for my diamond tech, so any info on what everyone is doing to dewax for diamonds is appreciated!

What would the benefits of a glass lined vessel be? Ph washes are corrosive to stainless?
That’s the main use I’d want out of it
