As noted, care is required when freezing fresh material for subsequent extraction, to insure the trichomes don't become coated with ice. I cut mine in into quarter inch chunks and pack it in the columns before freezing it, so it doesn't coat from atmospheric ice during loading.
I also use butane at from -50C to as high as 0F, but it and the columns are always chilled.
Yield is about the same as dried, if you take out the water weight, but because it is being processed with the water in place, it takes about four times as many runs.
The aromatics from the oil are intense and the oil is not smooth to vaporize, but assaults both your nose and taste.
