I can pull 20% + return when running trimmed nugs (the kinds one would smoke).. I get alot of wax though, using this particular method.... But I am ok with that. I pulled 300 Grams of crumble from 1000 Grams using my mason jar technique. I empty 3 cans at a time, into 1/2 gallon mason jar (12 jars to a master case). I do this by poking a bunch of holes in the lid ( 10 or more), And just shoot butane into the jar until its full. Then I put it in my Cryogenic freezer. You can use Dry Ice with the same effect. Let it soak for an hour In the jar filled with butane Surrounded by dry ice. Then strap a Coffey filter and strain it....
Just kidding, it wont strain if you did it right....
The wax should clog the filter immediately. Use a Büchner funnel or Vacuum Assisted funnel If you got it. Or what I usually do because its easier. Shake that mother f'ing Jar then Tilt it and let it sit for a few minutes Repeat..... Then just vac it at 130f ish for 2 days. WARNING !! This is only a good method for High End Material. And you will never get shatter this way LOL.
But am in California ware the butane is $130 A master case (Lots of wax), and I am able to move it at $500 and OZ up to 8K for the full . $350 for typical trimm dewaxxed Shadder.. $250 for goo bo bo. .... Also whats cool about this method.. If you don't Break the nugs when their supper critically frozen (-50F we hope) Like T1000, the nugs will look untouched, and will have NO residual smell..
Lost my job in December, built the business with a friend so no unemployment. Thank god for this crazy inflated wax market. I am able to pay all my bills, and put my kids through day care because of these crazy prices (fiends).
*PS after editing for clarity. I just had the Idea, If you were to filter this multiple times at -50f and have the wax fall out you could get shatter. But I don't think it will be as aromic and tasty as crumble. Also its a lot of work vacuum filtering and Freezing butane.. I would have to charge accordingly.
Also I have Seen people drive from new york to pay $1200 a OZ for C02 Wax from an eden labs machine. I have seen blond BHO go for $1000, I haven't found the lucky client myself yet (still looking).
