Query, wanting to run 300g of material in a 2LB closed column extractor

a fire pack can take more tane I’ve been taught and dry ice frozen material plus sub zero solvent lowers the solubility ao it most likely takes more to get everything. Its been 3 yrs since I touched closed column glad I don’t have to anymore

Cost of getting that cls sent to the U.K. abit pricey

Cls bought from the U.K. are around £3000 for a 2LB

I have a trusted Chinese source I bought an oven from

And I see some of these U.K. suppliers prying them out so I feel I found somewhat of a gem

A from the Chinese will cost be £2000 including the shipping

I know even all the tane I spent on already

But these are little ongoing costs and not a lump sum cost and now a whole system to operate and tend to

I’m just working on a place to set up in before I jump to the cls

Safety and security is most important

Right now I need to run Through that material ASAP with lowest upfront cost

After this load of work I plan of upgrading to the cls ASAP

I see everyone here loves participating and watching the come up haha

Glad to share it with a community

I understand

I was open blasting using honeybees running through a whole kilo using over 30 x 300ml cans of gas

That was quite toxic and dangerous ofcourse

The closed column will save me the back ache and also being around so much tane (which was giving me terrible skin problems :/)

How its essentially the same exact thing except its made metal and has valves. You still spray it into a pan

O well I guess the stand does help the ole arm out from getting tired

Yeah lol but I guess I still will have to be there pumping cans in

The stand does help indeed I thought I’d get Into comfortable position and rest the arm in

I’m defo not going to go with the closed column way now

I will be getting a CLS

I mean they work fine to get u started and learning the fundamentals…what not to do and shit.

For the love of God don’t blast inside at all and don’t reduce butane inside or w any flame source. Use hot water bath
