Yes, me too. That Welch pump head is stout. I have one of the first VaporHawgs made and I’ve had absolutely zero problems with it.
Only reservation I have is the backstory of how pdx came to be, but the pump is probably the best value on the market.

Hey you were asking about the Luna Tech. I have been running a Luna for a little over a year i have the 4th one ever made it is a great system. I can answer any question about it i am well versed in the system.

I have a Luna and it is great system I have been running it for over a year and i their are a lot of misconceptions about it. if you have any questions let me know id love to shed some light on this system for everyone.

Thank you!
We ordered one last month so it’s moot at this point, but I’m super pumped! Fixing to dominate the Michigan extract market, lol.

yeah your gonna love it your getting one of the newer ones i have the 3rd one ever made so ours is not as refined as what you will have. I do some of the R&D for Luna and i can tell you the new Luna’s are where its at. I see that their are some people on the forum that shit on it but I know those people personally, and actual work with them. they are just stuck in some of the old ways of extraction. If you guys need any help or advice with runs let me know I am here. Yields on my system are great i get 3-5% on my frozen and i hit 8-15% on my dry depending on the quality of the material. I also work with media bros i was one of the first people to use crx and cry they work great as well with the system. I run my whole lab with only 2 people and the work of at least 6+ because we can walk away from the system and do other things while it handles the runs on its own.

Why follow the cadabinoids when you could follow the cannabinoids and provide an actually percent extraction efficiency bro?
Without it, your “R&D” is just playing with goo.

Cadabinoids: I got some goo. I can haz dabs!
cannabinoids: actual target molecules. Can be quantified (actually required if you want to sell your product legally).
Cannabinoids obtained/cannabinoids available == actual metric for how good you done did.
8-15% cadabinoids depending on input is fucking horse shit as far as actual data.
I might could use a nap🤫

I get that. I’ve seen results as high as 27% 8-15% isn’t great.
Can’t wait till we can all meet at a glg event. You’re a character

If you have 1 kilo of material at 15% target cannabinoids, you would have a theoretical 150 grams of THCa we will say in that biomass.
Do your magic juju with the tubes and gas.
Final output could be say 150 grams at 86.7% THCa.
150g x .867 = about 130.
So you extracted 130 grams of THCa…and left 20g in there.
Is that kinda what your talking about @cyclopath?

Insane 173k to run like 4.5 pounds in 18 hours… DUH HELL?!

Yep. So rather than “Hey Bro, I got 15% yield”
You have 130g out of a possible 150g which is 86.7% extraction efficiency.
A number you can use to compare every extraction you do with, because it is far less dependent on starting material potency

That was then, now it’s 350k

C’mon guys, we all know yields vary based on material.
Tbqh, any dry biomass over 15% cannabinoids should probably be pre-roll material, not extraction material, unless there’s something terribly wrong with it in the first place.

Sure…yield varies with input… extraction efficiency doesn’t vary near as much…
As such it is a better metric for measuring your performance, or that of your operators or equipment.
In the legal market, your inputs come with a potency, and your outputs require a potency to be sold. Why not actually leverage that data?
If you’re gonna spend all that cash on an automagic goo machine, understanding how well it does seems like simple due diligence.

Also strictly speaking, most of us would like to get as much of the goodies as possible with the SMALLEST total mass

Your accountant might not like that approach.
it’s fine, I just cut it all down with pine sap
