Not hating just not sure how your getting a larger yield when your removing stuff from your concentrate when?

I’m also talking with dry material. Not just frozen. Frozen I’ll freeze and run it -50c and colder. I’m all about experiments, too. I must be doing something different. But when I lose over 100g in my material just because I’m trying to save time.

I run all fresh frozen regular and crc dry material these days. Still i’m not getting how you get better yields when dewaxing? you are taking stuff away how does that increase yield? Unless i’m missing something?

how long are you soaking your run for?

Maybe it’s magic.
Just like how you don’t explain publicly how you have those clear terps.

I can’t give out all my secrets. besides that’s more for the head you don’t yield much on those so it’s not like i’m pumping out a bunch. i don’t make them often.

I already know what you’re doing, anyway.
When I dewax, I get such high yield because I have a few tricks up my sleeve that help me when I am operating. Removing fats shouldn’t have significant reduction on yields, just time.

Yeah it’s not complicated. Whatever your secrets are for that sound much more valuable anyways. I don’t know how you can gain yield while taking something away. That’s some magic

Again man not hating just sharing what i do and what’s been working for me. I’m sure you got your own tek too which is why your not publicly sharing that knowledge either

Rushing fast and cold doesn’t grab everything, that’s what I’m telling you. I start with a slightly chilled solvent so that I can control its flow. Then, I flush my material, transfer into a dewax chamber and let her gradually get cold for a couple hours and flush. Stage your filter and it won’t bind up your thca with the filter. Also being heavily saturated helps with this.
I do this with cured resin runs.

oh right on. how long does a run take? do you only do it with cured material or FF as well. I can’t speak on the cured material but a longer soak for me didn’t yield more when running FF. i don’t use a chiller so it would be a little trickier for me to get a constant low temp before getting really cold. During my runs the last third goes clear and all the experiments i’ve done don’t yield anymore then what i’m currently doing. How much more do you think you are yielding by doing your process?

Frozen runs I run frozen. Just cured do I dewax. Cured runs, when I run cold and an excessive amount of solvent. I get about a 5% less yield. When I get over a 20% return and I lose 5%, I notice.
My fats look incredibly different than yours. Before I had a chiller to set my temps. I’m using lc02 and ln2 now with my bizzybee. I can keep my run at -50c the whole time. Recover the majority of the solvent and run it all again in like 30 min. And I still get a lower return.
Depending on the run. I can probably flush 30lbs of solvent across a 6x48 frozen column three times in an hour. I recover at a minimum of two lbs a min

very interesting. 30 to 35 lbs is about all my collection can hold but i run 3 different size columns depending on what material i have available. i just use a coil with dry ice and iso so it’s a little harder for me to run as accurate as temps as you. So your saying you pretty much flush your column twice per run for cured material?

30 lbs for a dewax, little bit more maybe. I can cycle cold solvent into a cold column and re inject it every time I fill it up.
I use the dewax chamber as a frozen column, then use the material column to warm up the solvent, it’s jacketed (I can warm -60c to -5/5 ish, which isn’t bad). Then through my crc. Into the collection and recover.

Spare tank is for storage during recovery. Solvent columns are heat exchangers and piss into the tank. Once I recover enough to fill up a column (like ten minutes or so with both running), close off one recovering and fill it up. Inject again once it’s cooled. Remove nitro and resume turbo speed

very cool man that seems very efficient.

Do u get glass like shatter at these temps though? It’s not a trick question, I’ve never made enough to know
I’ve made some at dry ice temps before was bad ass like glass. Would actually shatter. Only issue I had to warm the dabber bc absolutely would not stick at all

if the material is dry it would always make good stable shatter for me. If fresh frozen it would be more of a pull and snap consistency

I couldn’t make shatter out of my material.

heat gun gently, flip, repeat til desired stability.
