Sorry we were out for the holidays. @StoneD ill send you a sample today. @acreativeusername i saw you ordered some b80 and dewax so I doubled the order. I use the same amount I would use for silica60 which is about 30-50g per lb of biomass

Your sample should have gone out before Christmas it should be arriving. If not I can send one out as well today with whatever other medias you want to try. Also HFS, Californiaextractionsupply, Chemchix, solvent direct have samples of the 5 W’s if they happen to be close to you there’s free samples there

You didn’t have to do that man, but I really appreciate it

@Waxplug1 you should try getting your product into @ApisLabs it’d be nice to go somewhere local to pick up instead of online

So using this in collibrate w a color removal powder like w1 then the dewax could we just not run hot the entire way or does it need to go through w1 cold. I know it’s better to go through without the wax so I could put the dewax on top the w1 and just run hot gas?
If it’s taking the fats wax and lipids there shouldn’t be a problem running hot but to truly please me it’ll need to look like it was ran through jacketed material column w dry ice and dry ice cold solvent. If it comes out identical as this then this could be the answer to using way less dry ice as ud only need it to recover

I think it may require more media if you extract warm…definitely would need more clay…
Well if it’s dewaxed as it comes through wouldn’t it be like an extract ran cold then?

I may be wrong, but I assume you still run cold for the extraction, then use the dewax to clean it up further.
So if I’m following along, do your run cold into a holding tank, let the solution warm up (or heat it up), then run it through the medias.
Am I wrong @Waxplug1?

It would be a much cooler product if it allowed you to run warm and accomplish the same thing running cold does.

im waiting to hear if i fucked up again but I think thats what it does. but why not run cold to minimize waxes and such instead of just planning on the powder to pick up what you didnt want in the first place. By running cold i mean less than dry ice, more like 0 from a freezer. by the time it runs through the system itll be near 32 hitting the crc Ill try it at those temps if i get a sample. My inputs are all indoor and frosty at least or usually nugs

As long as your butane is liquid it will be cold. Boiling point at atmospheric pressure is 31 f
My chest freezer is -20

you have a badass freezer. ive seen as low as -13 on mine . tane warms up super fast though. wax isnt a huge issue for me because i use dry ice and a coil too but this dewax sounds like it may save a trip to the dry ice place. When i first learned this stuff I thought cold was to prevent water based stuff like chlorophyl . Now that im on future they say run COLD so ive invested in coils and nitrogen but? Is it dewaxed? no. I used to do ethanol dewaxing.
My old freezer would get to -40, I’m hoping I can find another that works as well as that one did.
Old pic, also I know what I’m doing here is a no no

i do it. I use a dot rated tank in the freezer. ive opened it and the vapors were thick and had a mirage effect- leave the area.
At least instead storing it there toss it in the day before
I’m gonna try this stuff running 10° solvent on both live and cured stuff this week, will report back

My bad. Must have happened when I stuck my phone in my pocket.
@Waxplug1 let’s schedule a phone call, @Homegrown34 is in my area

Correct. You run cold through the biomass if you’d like but for flow reasons you would have to go at a warmer temp(75-100f) through this media. It targets the fats and gums that affect clarity in the oil. These gums are more prevalent in older material but can also be found in certain strains. Winterizing in butane is not ideal since there is more thca being dropped out than fats. Dewaxing with a media is a much more efficient way to remove those fats.

ive used media bros and lustermax and it flowed fine at 50 psi. I think w1 workd at that lvel too but i was running propane so it was higher.
