Any updates on this I was not running for a week or so. Finally got some new LP tanks and now I am dealing with this issues. Very frustrating

Your tank is labeled n-butane?

How do you not blow the lids off if this is butane without cooling it?

Just starting having this issue and read through the whole thread. Is the solution just to use that different molecular sieve? We have been running fresh frozen at -80C for 3 weeks straight and just got new gas this week when it started happening.
Work on your pourā¦ Your might be able to counter act it?
Is there way more oil in those jars than Iām thinkingā¦like lb oil? That would change thingsā¦
I know I seal those big mouths to soon and poof goes the lid

We also had this issue. After we pull our run for the day its transported in a smaller collection vessel to our drying room. Its about a 45 min drive but suddenly one day we noticed that when we go to pour we have a huge puck of something like diamonds formed on the bottom. Our solution was to take blender and mix it back in until homogeneous. I actually didnāt mind it happening because our end product is crumble and this caused the solution to crash and dry extremely quickly. Then one day last week poof back to the way it was. No change in supply but it was a new order of butane so we think it may have been that.

Same here. Nothing has changed in our SOP. Last week we were fine. Itās not only a problem for diamonds but also for the cart tek we do which requires keeping the solution super saturated before going into post processing, if it fast crashes we have to do a rocks & sauce.
exactly thatā¦
I suggest backing off 20 posts and re-reading.

I saw that stated above but no detail, just that someone has negated it by adjusting their pour. We have tried changing collection temps, pouring off the next morning with the heaters both on & off, pouring off with more solvent, pouring with less solvent, basically we have been doing R&D all week to try to find a solution since we saw it happen with 3 big runs all in a row.

Interesting. We tried leaving the collection heaters on for 10 hours in between shifts, then pouring, and putting into a vac oven (no vac, vent open) at 90F. The fast crash definitely still happened. The first indication something wierd was going on was when we did our typical 20 min soaks at -80C for a batch of LR budder, usually we will see a good amount of fats caking up in the filters in the material columns above the 25u, but this time we had a huge layer of crystallized cannabinoids mixed with a small portion of what appears to be fats below the 25u and it was clogging up the bottom cup of the material column as well as the line to the crc. Havenāt had that happen before, like I said with fats yes, but crystallized cannabinoids no, Iām sending what I pulled out of there to testing on Tuesday to confirm. I have some pictures I will post here in a second of last weeks runs versus this week.
