If you absolutely must run open. I suggest buying a closed column open blast extractor.
You can use a cheap solvent tank or even can tap.
You can then be able to run a filter plate on the bottom for crc to get a clear or yellow oil.
As I said I’m new to this what kind of setup are you suggesting is it something that I have to purchase or can I build also what are the cost right now I’m strapped for cash as all my family is going through a very hard time with the covid-19 Sickness and I am the only one left to try to pay bills so that we do not lose our house I’m currently laid off of work but have enough stock to make a very good run and bring some income in for the family so that when they get out the hospital are not stressed out about wearing to make payments on their house and their valuable assets that potentially could be repoed or taken from the bank and put up for sale I am in a very desperate time
Check out the link i posted
Your biomass is old. Siphon out the dead crispy trim leaves with chicken mesh wire. Dry your biomass. Pack your tube evenly with small pressure. Use your fist or a plastic jar cap that’s screwed into a tip of a wood broomstick. Once it’s filled clamp everything together. Throw it in a vacuum seal bag. Put In freezer overnight. Butane notes overnight. The next day go outside or to a well-ventilated area. Your tubing should have a tripod. Blast on a pyrex rectangular glass till it’s clear. Take a fabric heat mat and boil off butane. Once the majority is evaporated using a razor blade and scrape onto a parchment paper. Insert it in a vacuum chamber
What would I need the standard column or would I also need the dewaxing column?
I would get the dewaxing column.
So the de waxing column will do it start to finish?

If you want to run crc you will need at a bare minimum a filter plate and filter paper. Preferably a sintered disc.
But since funds are tight i suggest the felt filter method.
Ill try to find a link
But yes that dewaxing column. Amazon n2 regulator. A small tank of n2.
Either a can tapper or a cheap 6lb lpg butabe tank (or both if you get the tank you have to fill it with the can tapper)
Can roll this up and use as a cheap alternative to a sintered disc plate

Maybe @Idab916 can chime in as he told me about this.
@Killa12345 might be able to help you out but idk if he has xlosed columns extractors.
Honestly, if your whole family is sick with covid you should be under isolation yourself as even if you’re not displaying symptoms you are very likely infectious yourself.
Have you all been tested yet?
Whos to say hes had contact. My whole family could have it but not me… Or vice versa
I dont live with any of them
If he was in contact with them prior to their hospitalization, which based on his words seems highly likely, it’s a reasonable warning to try to ensure he doesn’t infect others.

If what they are saying is true, their bills are due. I get flattening the curve, but if you’re gonna be homeless, then I dunno, I’d be desperate too…
Get a dewax column like slabby said, I used to make some pretty decent shatter with a closed column.
Pack your tube, fill sleeve with dry ice and isopropyl. Have your cans of butane in the freezer in the mean time. Once the tube is cold as balls, pull out your butane, let it warm up a tiny bit, then inject into the tube. Let tube soak for a little bit, ten minutes or so, then open the bottom valve and inject the rest of the butane.
Evaporate butane and pay your bills with said product. I would get a nice golden color shatter when I did this.
Very condensed version of what I used to do. Good luck and I hope your family is ok.
from some old weed from last harvest in Aug unfortunately I dont have the money for a close loop so I’m doing this with a open blast glass tube pre froze loaded tube n beutane in deep freezer I’m mostly interested in that butane is the best to use overall I am looking to get the lightest colour honey oil possible also on that note I would like to know after I blast it and have the liquid what is the professional way of going about curing it boiling it down xcetera…
I have heard that taking your trim buds grinding them up and freezing them is a really good option also I heard putting your puke tank and in the freezer and freezing them for 5 hours really helps to contribute and having a good yield I have also heard of people using dry ice which I have no idea what that process would be used for or how to do it… it would be greatly appreciated if some people could give me a full start to finish line of operation on what to do and what not to do like I said I’m very basic just a glass tube a double boiler and some stainless steel and glass Pyrex dishes I can possibly get my hands on a purge setup but that is a 50-50 chance of getting I have heard that. Puretane Whip It butane are some of the best to use what are your opinions
I really appreciate the help coming because a lot of people don’t like giving out their secrets but I am new and don’t have anyone else to rely on to get the high-quality that I’m used to buying from the professionals I take pride and passion and what I do and I hate to see it all go to waste feel free to message me on here or private message me at my email
Knapman91@gmail.com thanks alot brothers n sisters for your help!
Back in my old days when I would run open, I would blast directly into a glass pyrex dish lined with PTFE. Once all of the solvent has been collected in your dish, place the dish in another dish of warm water to help evaporate the solvent. Once it’s all gone it will start bubbling. From here you can take your PTFE sheet out and place it in a vac chamber and purge it for a few days with a heating pad underneath.
After a day or so of purging I’d fold the sheet on itself to collect everything into a slab, then flip and continue purging until it was done.
You will definitely want to get a vacuum pump and chamber at the very least to ensure you can pull the residual solvent out of your extract.
Whip it premium is a good brand of canned gas to use, you’ll get good results there.
Just keep in mind cans have various amounts of lubricants and other oils that will be present in your final product if you’re not distilling the gas beforehand. It’s not really possible to distill it without a closed loop system though, so keep that in mind.
My product always had a faint taste of burnt balloons when I ran cans in an open system. The untrained consumer would likely not notice but I could pick up on it since I ran that way for a while and was present in every run till I went CLS
@Andy91: you’ve posted the EXACT same thing 3 times. how about you stop with the cut and paste.
old weed is not going to produce a light colored extract without post processing you are unable to perform.
freezing your weed before blasting is also unlikely to help. in fact, if not done correctly it will reduce your yield because butane cannot penetrate ice.
putting canned butane in the freezer is also not a win. butane is a liquid at 0C. your freezer is -20C. there will be no pressure at all in the can & the butane won’t come out! if you want to play that trick you need propane or at least isobutane in the mix.

desperate times call for desperate measures, but posting your email address on an open website before committing a felony is not the way to help your family.
given your level of knowledge and equipment, you don’t need words, you need to watch several videos, I would suggest starting with
https://www.google.com/search?q=open+blast+youtube
given your poor starting material & equipment the only variable you’ve got control of is the temperature at which you drive the solvent off. don’t go above body temp with the warm water you use. or you will unnecessarily darken your oil.
I’m guessing you also have no way of vacuum purging. so you’ll need to use some variation on “whipping”. which I again suggest video. unless you’ve got time to spend 40+ hrs reading here.

and for fucks sake be careful! don’t imbibe before or during. work outside away from sources of ignition. 3-degree burns will not help your family either.

assuming you get product too dark to market, I would then recommend you make candy with it.
see: Need gummy recipe (recipe inside)
then you’re selling by the mg not the gram…and your profit margins are higher.
you do have the ability to make ethanol extracts for edibles safely inside your home.

Well hopefully that desperation doesn’t get someone killed, op or someone in the high risk group that doesn’t know an asymptomatic individual handled everything their product came in.
If he got laid off and his family is in the hospital with covid there are services available that can keep his family in his house… namely unemployment. Especially since we’re talking mortgage payments and not rent. Seem to recall most places have suspended foreclosures and evictions in light of covid.
Wanna do everyone a real favor, family included? Get a test for covid before you risk being the cause of the next cluster.
If they won’t test you isolate for at least 2 weeks, during which time you’ll have plenty of time to study how to do this properly, use your internet to get the help you need with financial constraints(ie. unemployment for you and your family(or whatever benefits they were receiving if they weren’t working), and start putting together applications for where you can work when you don’t need to isolate anymore.
I wonder if some other desperate person thinking that way might be how his family got infected.
“I gotta take care of me and fuck everyone else… 'merica!”

Dude i already told you what to do.
Do you NOT want help
I usually agree with you… But your rambling.
Nowhere did he say he had contact.
Like i said i could have said the exact same thing about my family and could be trying to do the same and not be infected. We dont all live at our moms house… I havent seen my family since this started.
Let the man make his moves without you judging what you dont know
