My question is as follows:

If your trim/buds were ground up too fine would that possibly hinder the thc and resin from being fully flushed out of the center marijuana being extracted? As in the ground up product compressed too tightly with the pressure of your butane can preventing full penetration and only allowing the butane to flow around the outside of the column of product inside your tube?

Butane is a solvent that contains petroleum, after the gas evaporates your left with 2 things: tri-comb, and petroleum. thus this being a bond of THC and oil/petroleum. same concept with carbon fiber; and OIL RESIN hardens when it dries. it is most def oil homie

how much would one expect to yield from 15-25 Ps of trim? and what extractor would be best since its gonna be a lot of work?

We haven't found a cheaper or more effective way to extract large quantities than a Terpenator at about $0.04 per gram decarboxylated and about $0.12/gram in shatter.

We typically yield 10/12% oil from trim. 25 pounds (11,320 grams) of trim should produce about 1100 grams of oil.

i see, im leaning toward a stainless steel extractor since im sure i will be doing a lot of runs bc of all the trim i have. i also heard of purging by placing grow lamps under the plate. anyone ever tried that?

A lamp will provide enough heat, but how are you going to control it unless it is also dimmable?

We use a glass lab dessicator with the hot plate inside, which but you can also use a metal vacuum pot with a Lexan lid, as used in the epoxy casting industry for degassing. That appears to be what most folks are using, in conjunction with an exterior hot plate.

We just ordered a used 12" X 14" X 9" Napco vacuum oven off E-bay for $550, and after paying for a lab dessicator and hot plate, the incremental difference is small, if any, so you might also check those out.

Ok that makes sense, I'm looking at this bel-art scienceware desiccator vacuum chamber, n I was wondering if I could put a hot plate inside of it while I'm purging. How hot do u have the hot plate inside the chamber?
