Hello all!

I have run across 15 lbs of nice trim, it has been pre ground. pretty sugary, pretty stinky. has a few stems.

today I did a test run... packed 80 grams HARD into my tube, and ran 2 cans of butane into 2 separate dishes. I am thinking I shouldnt pack so hard next time...pack loose and only use 1 can?

I did that 10 times and ran a total of 800 grams of material and 20 cans of butane into the same dish with evaps in between fills. it was annoying.

the oil tastes a bit green... was beautiful and golden when spraying, but now that its done and in the vacuum chamber its turned brownish and not very tasty, tastes too leafy and def tastes like trim and not buds.

any advice on where to go with this?

I am thinking

1. ill try bubble bags. but not a fan of bubble hash.

2. sifting some of it, trying to catch all the kief, and running JUST the kief??

3. winterizing the final product?

what do you guys recommend?? if I were to freeze material before hand would that help and taste not be so green?

also, where do I get a large tube... how are you guys doing large runs and whats your butane/material ratio? hows this tube? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Essential-Honey-Oil-Extractors-300-gram-Aircraft-Aluminum-18-/161369180921?pt=US_Hydroponics&var=&hash=item25925a4af9

thanks

Ordered my tube at online metals.
Food grade chem resistant.

Then ordered lab quality plug with pre drilled hole.

My tube is 3ft x 2 in
and holds almost a qp.
i run between 4-6 6oz cans.
i dont reload because im lazy.
I pack fsirly tight so i dont get air pockets that freeze and divert the fluid.

You can make a stand with a hose clamp anddome sort of legs.

You could build three of these for the dame price of the one in your pic

yeah ive been thinking of getting that 300g tube off ebay or 70$ but thats not my main problem. I can deal with using a small extractor.

I need to fix the taste, and possibly the color of this stuff! the material comes from a machine... its fairly dry, fairly powderized, fairly stinky and sticky and "crystally".

ive got 14 lbs of it I paid 100$ a lb for. I picked 11 ozs oz bud from it... those buds just made up the 1500$ I spent. now this 14 lbs is all free and profit.

the 800 grams I ran yesterday wasnt so good... probably shouldnt have wasted 20 cans (120$) worth of butane on just a test run... should have stopped after 2 damnit, I def need to change my process up here. oil is too dark and gooey. its not golden shatter. is it because I packed it way too hard?

do you guys shake your tube? I spray 1 can (not much comes out of extractor at this point) and I let the butane sit in the bud/chamber for a minute or two, shake it up. then I spray 2nd can and it pushes out that 1st can thats been sitting there and soaking, it comes out very dark golden. I stop half way through 2nd can and let it all sit and absorb again. shake the extractor too at this point real hard, then spray 2nd can through. at the end of the 2nd can its coming out fairly clear and rinsed pretty good id say.


I am now thinking that with a larger tube. my quality would go up as im using less butane. with a giant tube the first 2 or 3 cans would be pure gold as theyve just ran through 100-200 grams of bud!. the 4th, 5th, 6th might be a little less and go into a seperate dish.

I was able to get 80 grams into my queen bee honey extractor http://azarius.net/headshop/extraction_systems/queen-bee-extractor/

Most people here use 1 can tane to every 30 grams or so. So you may actually want to use slightly more butane. You should deep freeze the material and the tane for atleast 24 hours before extraction, this will lock up most of the chlorophyll thus getting rid of the green. As for the taste whatdoes the trim smell like. If it smells leafy and grassy thats what your extract will smell like. Thats one of the downfall. Of trim runs.

yeah the butane was frozen but the material was not.

the trim does smell like kush, but its also a bit green and grassy not gonna lie. I am hoping if I extract all the kief, and rinse the kief itll turn out better.

ill try to get some pics up today.

please dont ruin this thread DSW, ive considered you as well.

ive considered making your product, and LOTS of it, enough to fill my 3"x12" extractor then blasting a few cans through it..... what do ya figure that would turn out to be?

I really need to figure out a way to make this into a golden budder (budder to kill the taste)

it will never be gold, and I doubt it will wax, but give it 6 hours and see

but if you havent gone over 120 and it looks like that, its old material the thc has degraded and all the trichs have ambered up.
