Not sure exactly what your trying to say??? Future is a moderator he said he gets his pentane from Lab Society I said I get mine from Hebrew extractions… that’s what it is … It’s a statement?? I buy my pentane and ethanol from Hebrew extractions in Michigan.

Sorry, it sounded like you were trying advertise a marajuana delivery service. Hebrew extractions sounds like a marajuana collective.

I mean they do deliver but not weed… they deliver BHO, blends, heptane, and ethanol… And he’s a local extraction artist here in the Ann Arbor area.

@Future for the pressure vessel tek how much solvent do you leave in the jars? i have a collection vessel that i’m using and has a sight glass, but when i look in it looks like a lot of the solvent got evaporated out of the jars and is just sitting at the bottom of the vessel. is this what it should be doing?
So i dont have an inline dewax vessel, let alone a Buchner. Can i dewax in mason jars like I do normally in dry ice for 24 hours and then seperate and begin the process from there? I get a good amount of separation, but idk if it’s the amount of separation that an inline dewax takes away. Usually for me, it’s about an 1/8th to 1/6th of the solution is separated off after 24hrs. Should I add ISO to my dewax as well? Now after reading I think I should, and because it was called for in the first step, although that’s inline.

Slow evap with top off is how I go. Currently have some tiny iso crystals forming. I just started a heptane
Youre going to want to pressurize with nitro. With how much space is in them you need a lot of butane to reach a high enough pressure to slow the last bit enough to achieve proper separation

Dont put ethenol into the solution thats counter productive. The buchner vessel is an inline dewaxing. And for plant fats it wont hinder separation it effects the terps. They wont get as runny and pure with them in it.
My jars seem to leak a bit. Does this happen normally? There is pressure built up but it appears to be self regulating in a way.

This is no common. We generally like to have a full seal on the jars.

@Otscc What does one mean by a deep-freezer ? Is it a blast proof scientifical freezer or just a normal deep freezer , i am worried about solvent going trough the system

If you don’t have an explosion proof freezer you may use dry ice in a cooler.
are you saying that a non-dewaxed run will still crystallize, but the terps will not become as runny? I was under the impression that separation will not happen in waxy runs. I’ve not done this yet though, just learning all I can from you guys before attempting.

You can use a scientific. But as long as it gets around -20 itll keep your dryice and solute at a good temperature. So the solvent wont evap and the dry ice sublimes much slower. Most chest freezers work perfect you can get them for a couple hundred bux at home depot.

You can 100% crystalize without dewaxing. And the plant fats do not attach to the thca only to the terp fraction.

good to know, I don’t have a dewaxing set up yet, so I might try this with a waxy batch and see what happens. Appreciate the reply!

When mining with a pressure vessel can you throw it on heat to build pressure with the butane from the extract you poured in? Or does it have to be nitrogen/co2 pressure and then put in the freezer to grow diamonds? I am under the impression that freezing just helps with single solvent dewaxing, after that heat and pressure need to be applied to create diamonds. Would heat and pressure not be what we are after to grow diamonds, kind of just like in Mother Nature naturally forming diamonds?
I like the pressure vessel a little better than jars. I think they pop at 30psi which is pretty scary when dealing with glass etc… is it a different tek in a jar vs a diamond miner?

You can use butane gas to hold a pressure but its a little less efficient because it will become liquid at higher pressures. Butane gas is also more dangerous than using N2 or CO2.
As far as I know, tek is the same. Higher pressure just means faster and dirtier crystals.
