Transferring into a chamber that cold is what killed it. Otherwise the process is fine. If you ever get a wild hair up your ass, send everything over then fill it with a slurry and do your thing. I bet you won’t have the same results and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
When you injected into the dewax chamber with the slurry in the jacket. You recovered the solvent and seperated the oil from the solvent. And it just globbed to the bottom, didn’t get dissolved by the cold solvent and just got smooshed into the filter and what fats dropped
My process for both dry and ff is the same if you pack your material in the columns and freeze them before you do your extraction you only pull the best from the get go. instead of pulling more and then having to filter and lose thca in the process.
I don’t go below -60. There’s nothing to drop out after that. By that time, they all fall to the bottom of the chamber. Butane loses its solubility once you start getting colder than that. It’s also extremely, extremely saturated at this point and the thca has a hard time letting go. It’s not going to grow giant blooms on the walls that you can pick off and dab… That won’t happen.
I won’t have to dewax dry material for very long. But I will send some fats out for testing and see if I will see what my shoe tastes like
-60 will def drop thca. i don’t run that cold. If your material is frozen and then you flow even colder solvent over that material quick you pull the best of the best and can skip trying to get everything you can running warmer and then having to clean that up and lose thca in the process.
well if it’s that fast your probably not getting all the undesirables either so i feel like we’re splitting hairs here. Also this is comparing Fresh frozen to dry material so there already in 2 different categories.
we don’t want undesirables regardless right? So isn’t it best we don’t pull them in the first place. I pack my columns the night before extracting and place them in the freezer dry and or fresh frozen then push butane through a coil in a everclear dry ice slurry. you end up pulling the best of the best on the first go. I just feel like doing your dewax process is attempting to do the same thing only it takes longer to do and adds more steps to your work day and you lose thca which is one of the main compounds we’re after. it’s also easier to purify from that step if that’s what your going for.
Remember that video I sent you of the mason jar off gassing and dumping out all that wax? It was being chilled by off gassing and that seemed to be a great temp for dewax 0c
Can anyone comment on using Molecular sieve beads in the vac oven chamber as a desiccant? I’m getting highly stable end product running ultra cold, distilled/dried gas etc.
I’m wondering if sieve beds off gas any type of chemical and if that’s possible to contaminate my BHO.
I heard it was a good idea to use them to assist in potential moisture removal within the vac chamber but am suspicious about this information. I have the solvent viscosity release temps worked out per individual pour and would hate if those beads are doing anything negative in my ovens.
