TIPS ON PURGE

[playa 69er]

Ok so need some tips..once wax is in the chamber and I have released pressure a few times and oil is not muffin ing up any more,I know depending on the strain has alot to do with purging time....any tips on what I should look for to more or less know if the oil is fully purged..thanks.any and all tips are welcome..thanks..this will be my first vacuum purge..

If you are making wax, you are looking for state of waxing, as opposed to state of purge.

With a thin film of shatter at 115F and -29.5" Hg, the random sized solvent bubbles coming off will be larger than the CO2 bubbles. The CO2 bubbles are small and fizzy.

Thanks Fadela..quick question..if Im looking to make shatter finish would I be looking for it to shatter form??or wax first then turns into shatter??

Unless it is old material, it starts out as shatter and you have to turn it into a wax hydrate by further processing.

Some strains are more prone to waxing than others, so may start to wax in some spots, while others are finish purging as shatter.

If you DeWax it by filtering out the wax. It stays Shatter. If you Save that wax... you can add it to shatter and you will get better smelling and tasting shatter. And it can still be Supper Hard. Not sappy at all.

 

[qwizoking]

add wax to shatter?

 

[Texas(THC)]

Why...?
you dewax to make it smoother correct..?
im sure it is possible but seems unnecessary
adding back something that was filtered out is a lil backwards

 

[GLobel]

the reason you dewax is market. It was the fad and people paid more for shatter.. It is a controlled way to add the wax flavors and tarpins back in without making it crumble.

so when u say dewax,do u mean by keeping on the heat for a period of time,or by vacuum purging it??sorry fir the dumb questions I just wsnt to understand a little better,being this will be my first run.

I shoot blow pour my beutane into pyrex glass beakers. I freeze it to -50f with dry ice in a cooler Or a cryogenic freezer. The beutane will become cloudy. The wax solidifys and bonds together (fall out). You have to filter it very fast using a vacuum funnel so the wax doesn't thaw and precipitate back into the butane and fall through the filter. Also the butane become thicker when its super cold. You need Buchner funnle or vac funnle.

im just not understanding. GLOBEL,

so you DEWAX....AND THEN ADD ALL THE WAXES BACK IN? or just part of the waxes..In order to recieve a more robust flavor .



I apologize for the question this is just a TECHNIQUE i haven't seen or done yet.

we dewax for the purity factor, i stand by my dewaxed products over non.. ( i winterize with ethanol as well.. )

i really dont like the wax chunks i filter out, all they do is taste good, and leave my mouth feeling caked, i like getting high :]

Cool..thanks for breaking it down . Thanks Guzias and Globel..ok..so what if I just want to make shatter nice and simple,blast into pyrex glass and water purge at 110°f.then when done bubbling throw in to chamber also under 110°F and start the purging process muffin up etc...... im just trying to understand..how u end up with shatter,how u end up with crumble,or how is it you end up with ear wax..do u heat at a different temperature??,or do you let the wax sit in the heat for a certain amount of time??or does the end result of texture have to do with how long you purge??once again sorry if im asking dumb question. Just want to understand the process to the fullest before I go threw this weekend..thanks again.

Very simple, but well written tutorial, SS makes A LOT of oil.

Please research first, then we will be more than happy to help with the ”purge tips”.

Understand, this process is VERY dangerous and you must do some reading before taking on this endeavor.

Read tutorials from different forums and different members.

I read, read read read and read some more...

Research is Paramount, especially with solvent extractions.

Please do more research before attempting...

After reading that first guide I posted^...

It's not the fact that they are
” dumb questions”

The only dumb question is the question that doesn't get asked.

But, you are trying to dive into the ocean before learning how to tread water, let alone swim.

No problem my friend.
He breaks it down really well, and his suggestions and techniques usually will get the consistency you desire.

Keep in mind different strains and the age and quality of the starting material plays the biggest role.

So his specific” recipes” per se, may need some tweaking.

It comes with practice and repetition...

Sweet, already got a Buchner vac assisted funnel with the 2-5 micron glass filter on the way! Gonna use a water flow vac (sink arerater). Thank you China. Can't freaking wait, only a few more days!
