Someone talk me out of a centrifuge

I usually make around 150 disty carts a month. I’ve been wanting to do the whole fuge terps off the wax and Decarb and add back for awhile now.

Been looking at a Wanlecy LD-3 but idk if I need one that can do 5x50gr runs.

What I’m really asking is … is it worth it to add to the Arsenal (mainly) for personals?

I always read about @StoneD praising it so it keeps me thinking haha

Definitely not worth it for small personal batches usually when I’m praising it the personal is making anywhere from ,100-5000 Csrts and ppl want live resin or extra tasty carts it helps preserve terps

Or spinning the sugar and reX in pentane then add back bho terps

You might have trouble finding filter vials at that diameter.

You might be better off with a bigger fuge than the wanlecy.

Edit: nevermind lol.

I was wanting to set them apart as easily as possible.

Just me and my people want terpy like the wax I make.

Id prolly run 4-5 oz at a time just seems easier than sourcing HTE

I used my centrifuge all the time and I only ever ran a lb at a time at most.

The ld-3 or whatever it was suited me just fine.

I have been wanting to try a smaller centrifuge tek using rosin bags. You can swipe the smaller version of a LD-3 with tubes and bags for less than $200

I believe @Dred_pirate has a post where he uses rosin bags in the regular 50 ml fuge tubes (non fritted) and gets killer separation.

I picked up a smaller version of the cheap china fuge everyone uses that with 15 ml tubes and the bags. I realize only about a G would fit in each tube but haven’t had any material to try it out with yet.

Dred uses a 100ml, idk the model name

Are you saying that I wouldn’t be able to just fuge Decarb thca and reintroduce? I thought it was just those steps but if not lmk so I can look more into it for sure

I don’t make too too many carts maybe 200 at a time /month (maybe lowballing I don’t keep full track). But I’m just not a huge disti fan as.

Also seems easier to fuge it off than to continuously find HTE

Shit where can I get me a LD3 for under 200 with the tubes lol.

Just something I been wanting to try but don’t want to be a waste of time/money and product.

Trying to make good carts is all

Do you have to do anything beyond just fuge the terps and Decarb —> reintroduce

Even the garbage in comparison I make blows a regular disti cart away :confused:

Did you run already finished terpy extract ? I’d be running already finished materials.

Thank you for taking the time to read

Nah, that’s all I did and made some decent carts.

I’d run my own extracts that were an applesauce like consistency and lightly crc’d.

Look up my post history, I posted some pics of my stuff after being spun off and then carted up again after being mixed back together.

No that’s exactly right

If it already crcing stuff it’s not gonna make much a difference other than frog hair tastier… I noticed crc leaves the heaviest terps in the extract. I’ve fully decarb it before w the terps in it and still got citrus flavored carts. They were really good in fact. The bigger the amount the more I’ll get out of a centrifuge imo

O cool. I don’t plan on running less than an oz of each type of wax at a time as long as they will stay stable

I like to do them all at once. Cool. So just go for runnier extracts not something thicker? I don’t produce anymore personally.

You think I can Decarb inside a beaker inside a small mason jar in the oven to preserve terps themselfes?

No u need to seal the dry ice extracted oil inside a jar for week or 2 to get sugar thca on bottom and terps on top

Some ppl would think decarbing would blow the jar releasing co2…k.but the count butane we turn into a gas inside them.on a super small scale I don’t think it would matter

Maybe under small -15hg vac to lower the boiling point

I wasn’t speaking of making my
Own HTE via diamond mining just spinning terps off wax , I don’t have a vac oven anymore either so it’s really between a new vac and a fuge :confused:

I could stay busy enough to justify it I just want my shit to be different than some random disty cart

If you think crashing the wax instead of spinning it would be more cost effective kr better I’ll do that. I just don’t have a vac . Thanks for the spoons man

While I’m not against this step… :joy:

Thanks for all the insight!
