It's so dry it's kinda a pain in the ass. Crumbles so easily I see so many others that look like they are hard, shatter type.Just going to keep working on the process. This is only two grams but I only ran twenty or so.

I use a round dish because the tools I use flex to the sides and get 98% of everything in the dish.
I use the painters tool to get the majority out, I use a razor blade to scrape of the tool onto parchment. Surprisingly it comes right off.
I then use 1 or 2 blades to scrape towards myself while rotating the bowl, it gets everything. Takes me about 1 minute to scrape from bowl to parchment, by far the easiest method I've ever seen or used. Square dishes have corners and the angle between the wall and floor is too great. With the right sized round dish, the painters tool and the razor blades flex to conform to the surface, and get every last micron. Not to mention there is zero mess when done right. Painters tools were like $5 online, came with an assortment, but this shape works best for me.

I use the exact same tools. Pallet knife, and razor blades both flex. The bowl actually looks clean after scraping. I use the same size pyrex bowl too. lol

Great oil and wax guys!

Ya Alaska it's vac purged. 60 grams bout a 14 hour purge at 105F
Maybe try a bit of a slower purge if getting too dry or lower temp a bit if it's a pure indica you are running?

Up here in my current circle I've got something called "hash plant" a google search of this turns up buds that closely resemble one of what I grow. The other I grow predominantly is something called caswell. Which is a pretty local name I assume because we have a caswell up here. Both are really good strains. I think you may be right, I got a electric griddle yesterday. So far I've tried my stove top griddle, an electric, coffee cup warmer, heating pad. I probably push the process along to quickly.
I know that if I get it to hot it goes unstable on me again, and gets sticky.
I can heat it and push it together but it doesn't have that look of really hard brittle product.
My dabs are great but I bet they could be even better.
I'm planning on running my finest batch of just buds broken up. Should be epic. I'm still using my small glass extractor even with a piece broke at the injection port. Stainless setup isn't ready yet.

Did you go with a vac buddy or a DIY?

Thanx SD!

Yes Alaska I bought the vac chamber off eBay but honestly I should have built one like SD's. The one I bought had a fucked vac gauge right from the start and the lid seal came off in about 2 weeks. I run lots of oil so I'm trying to buy a vac oven instead of a chamber but having a hard time finding one in Canada for a good price. Kind of risky bringing something like that over the border cause if something is wrong with it getting it fixed probably a nightmare.

Lots of guys make great chambers out of stainless pressure cookers. I'd go that route if I were to do it over again.

That's what I was thinking in regards to the SS Pressure Cooker. I'm laid off but previously worked in a business with a complete machine shop among many other resources. I've never looked into vac ovens. I'm interested in running a lot of oil myself. I think that like most things here in AK there is a need for concentrates. Considering we have a ballot measure this year to join WA and CO the need should only grow.
The idea of going and getting another job here in an industry that I don't care anything about is not appealing. If we get this measure passed and go full legal I would think opportunities to help people and make a living will be abound.

If I were to choose a vac oven......

Across International has the industry on lock.
Expensive, but if you are running lots commercially..I would imagine it would pay for itself rather quickly.

Hey SD ya that's the website I've got bookmarked to buy one from. I've gotta bite the bullet and just do it. I can't keep running the two ramekins in the vac chamber over and over again. Even in one of the 1.9 CF ovens I could probably run 5 or 6 times as much oil as my chamber. Just use the chamber to de muffin then keep stuffing the oven with de-muffined batches all purging at the exact right temp.
