Wow that's allot of folding and work. I thought you were going to make a honeycomb ball at first like a beehive.

Fuck, I never hit 20%....but I guess it's strain dependabt........
I didn't eigher Bublon I got 17-18% but I was just using the 20% as an example. But since you mention it I was at a friends place today and he had a few samples of wax and one of them was very similar in color an look to mine. He asked what yield I got and I told him and I asked what yield that other one he had was. He told me the guy got 25%!! I was like wtf are you serious? He said ya; he actually gave the guy the bud to make the wax with so he know exactly what there was for starting weight and what he got back. I had a feeling it might not be 100% purged right when he said that so I squeezed one of the pieces a little bit between my fingers to see if any moisture came out. I was thinking that maybe butane was still in it or just moisture. Sure enough I got a moist slippery stuff on my fingers when I squeezed it. The guy was like is that bad? I said I didn't know but thought it could still use more time purging. He put a piece in his vape pen and it melted nicely so I dunno if it had tane left in it or what but I didn't know 25% yields were even possible. Does this sound right to you guys or does it sound like it wasn't 100% purged?

Lol that would have been nice! The muffins look so cool how blonde and sparkly they are.

If it looks like it has a protective film or sparks when smoked that's usually a sign. As for 25% yield, I guess with the right strain but could just be warm bho with lots of fats and waxes?

Edit: largest we've made is 19.64%

Yeah you can get 25% of the right bud, I never got more than 13% as long as my days went by then one day I met a guy and he showed me a jar of his home grown and I almost creamed it looked like nuggetry weed. I begged to buy two ounces and got back 22% including a pyrex spill. I've never gotten anything to yield like it since nothing even over 20% again, I was going to buy a pound flat out just cuzz I know it will give back bread and honey style. I wish everyone knew how to grow like that I always thought it was something wrong with my tek so i'd go back and rerun material and end up with green squirt..... Maybe if I didn't have that spill and I didn't kief the shit out of it first it had more than 22% in it. Just talking about it makes me want to see if he has any left, somehow as an oilmaker you think the yield is your fault for lack of tek of one form or another. Another great way to get higher yields is to pick through your trim like fuck until it looks like a bag of buds at a distance... A great way for me to feel like instant shit is to let sad ass folded sunleaves into my tube and then hope for yield.

Why does it put those "attached thumbails" at the bottom of my posts? Seems like when I upload a pic then delete it before posting it still puts it on the post?

Starting fresh frozen bud weight was 138 grams. I'm thinking I will maybe get somewhere in the 5-6 gram return yield from it if. I didn't weight the oil before going in the chamber. I should have to see what I lose during the vac purge..

My dry buds are usually 24% the weight of my wet trimmed buds. so If I calculate it like that: 138 gr x 24%=33 gr x 17% expected (hopefully) return honeycomb yield=5.6 grams. I'm just going on what I got in yield from the dry og buds I ran so who knows really.

Really curious to see how this yields and if it turns out more blonde like I'm thinking it may.

Lol sorry bro...glad you got it all sorted out

Looks good....yea there pic thing is weird. You can blow em up by double clicking and changing something, but I'm on a phone soooo idk
Also it will attach deleted photos and even if you don't upload a specific photo to your post if you uploaded it to your drag and drop thing it will still put it in your post.....hope that made sense haha

Hey guys thanks for all of your input!
So when the muffin chilled out I took it out to get a weight on it and yes it was 6 grams :D
But PISS ME OFF when I did that and went to put it back in I dropped the fucken thing on the table and the oil picked up a bunch of little weed flecks that got stuck into it :cuss:

I put it back in the chamber, turned up the temp a bit to 100F and went out for a few hours. I picked up some oil slick pads, a second larger extractor,a new more accurate scale, and a new extractor tip to replace the one I broke.

When I came back the oil was close to the shatter state with a few bubbles still left in it. I re folded and put it back in and turned the temp up a little more. Shouldn't be too much longer before it's done.IMG_0658.jpgIMG_0661.jpgIMG_0664.jpg

I'm on a Mac computer Guz and I tried the copy and paste thing and it didn't work?
