large trim extraction, I WANT GOLD :D

Your concern is very appreciated. To whom are you directing these comments? Fadedawg is using closed loop system where butane is not exposed to the atmosphere and Saybian's choice of solvent is d-limonene.

i believe it was directed at the person in the video, and the person backing up the person's method in the video..................

wait did I make it seem I backed the spoon dewax in the video?
I don't, I don't like it at all but I won't dismiss it as a reality going on today.
I find open pool dewaxing to be the epitome of why the law of the land should be close loop or criminal.
Taking open blasting risk should be for personal meds, I love and cheer people who risk their life making meds for masses the danger way but I really just find it to be the cheap cop out I just want your money way.
Take that with a pinch of "right livelihood" ideology.

I saw a guy selling his ethanol recycling roto evap on facebook because "single solvent dewaxing is the shit". That's so fucken sad, he's a bag of dry ice away from a 2 hour winterize full solvent reclaim, no instead let's just add a few extra can's of butane to the atmos per run and scoop what I feel like scooping if it shows up and I'll pat myself on the back the whole way through.


I now have no clue what im ranting about. transmission complete.

FD stupid question here but why do non-polar solvents extract THC-A when it is polar? Am I wrong? or is it only partially polar?
BTW I saw that the Skunkparm website had a subzero extraction pic and it looked very nice. I think you are on to something there. Do you have any plans to do a full tutorial on it in the future?

There really isn't any polar and non polar, as much as there is a continuum from low polarity to high polarity and and using dielectric constant as a measure, an arbitrary line drawn at 15, where anything above is considered polar.

Non polar solvents may prefer non polar solutes, but all of the terpenes are hydrocarbon chains, and non polar hydrocarbons, still dissolve polar hydrocarbons, just not as fast.

We do have plans to update the site, which has suffered from my getting buried past my hocks in just trying to keep up lately. It looks like I may be over the hump on some of the major projects, and will hopefully be able to be more attentive. Indeed, some of those projects are part of what I will be updating.

One of the things in the air is movie making, which has been a dark hole since shooting, but which I'm hoping will allow us to post u-tubes and produce DVD's.

Dry Ice & 125 ~ 150 mesh fifter.

You can get dry ice in most welding supply stores. For example, Praxair and Air Liquide may carry them although not all store carry them so you may need to look around so calling or send an email is a good idea.

Well worth it.

You can then run it through an even smaller one but I think it would then be overkill. You can then do anything you want with the kief. Dry ice, in my experience (Medical User) yields the most kief than any other method.
