Going to do one run with trim, trim is dry and decently separated to sugar leaf only. I'm wonderimga few things. First, ill have maybe 4-8 ounces to run but only one tube that claims to hold 60g packed right..i'm wondering the logistics like should I run two cans through then set it i'm water for the initial purge while I go inside and repack it, do I run the material twice our is it not worth it and I repack the next two zips, then i'm wondering can I blast the second pack back into the once purged dish holding oil already? Then after running two to three times I can scrape all at once is my goal, no product loss..then after that i'm wondering about the whole winterizing thing, should I do it, any bad effect to taste, and do I do it before the final purge..I have a vac chamber..sorry I know the info is scattered around but I can't mess this up! +rep for a walkthrough, I've read many threads and these are the questions I have left!

Just freeze all the trim very very frozen in a bag then pack your tube and blast with frozen butane. Once that tube of trim is blasted push it out of the tube and re pack more frozen trim and repeat till your done. Careful when emptying and refilling your tube. Do it away from your liquid butane/oil or you will get trim dust in it if it blows that way when your fucking around with it. Run a can of butane for every ounce of dry bud or trim.

Some guys winterize and some don't. Read up on it there's tons of info on the net. Personal preference is what it comes down to.

Lol well I know all that..you didn't answer my questions..i'm going to run about 6 ounces and that's alot of butane, can I do a water purge and then blast into the somewhat purged first run with my second run?? Just seems safer...second question, is it worth running material twice seems like you hinted at no...third question for someone who winterizes, is it necessary with a vac purge and how different is final product and when in the process is it done...thanks!

I set the container in warm tap water before I start blasting and replenish that warm tap water when I return with another column, to again blast into the same container. I harvest the oil when I am through blasting.

We typically picked up two or three percent with a repack and rerun, of lower quality extract, so we usually only ran once.

Winterizing typically reduces harshness, but also reduces the monoterpene levels. A personal choice.

No need to purge before winterizing. Just purge in warm water until the visible butane is gone. Getting rid of the alcohol afterwards, will purge the remaining butane.

so far i found its best to not heat the butane after the first run just allow it to sit.. while u repack. then keep blowing.. evap all at 1 time. the last time i tried evapping while repacking.. it was wierd.. the first run was almost done purging the butane u can see.. and then i started to spray.. and it was like in LAYERS.. instead of dissolving it easy.. it was wierd.. since then i do not purge before im down to the last tube.. once im about to spray the last tube.. i use hot tap water.. and start the purge.. this has worked great for me... or.. u can just do 1 tube per glass.. me personally.. depending on the material.. if its ALL THE SAME EXACT MATERIAL.. then all in to one pyrex to purge.. if there is diff stuff. i use multiple pyrex.. lately i run 3 pyrex 3 tubes.. 1 trim. 1 small nug n larf.. and a ss turkey baster my small one.. is for headsmoke .. Colas mixed with Kief from nugs...

If you have a 60 gram tube I would run butane threw it till the tane starts coming out clear...blast till the eiver runs clear....unpack ur tube repack with new stuff run it unpack repack first tube run it throw that shit away and repack with the last bit and run it its second time

Ok so one for running material twice one against..one for purging as you work one for running it all then purging lol...I think I will heed the layers warning by not fully purging but not leaving all rubs until the end because that seems dangerous, well more so. I think the layers thing wouldn't happen if you blast when the first run is still kind of goopy//wet...ok one question answered!

Still a toss up of I run material twice but i'm leaning toward no..

Last bit if confusion, winterizing mans I don't need to vac purge?? Does vac purge mean I don't need to winterize lol?? Id like some personal opinions on to winterize or not to winterize keep in mind I have the vac chamber..

umm I will say this.. we don't use butane to run the material again.. but I do use a hexane soak.. and I use the oil I get from the 2nd run with hexane for edibles and shit.

Blow a tube of butane and while ur repacking put ur pyrex dish on hot water to rid of spme butane then remove from water whipe water off bottom blow butane on it again set it back on double boiler while u inpack and repack with the material u ran the first time....I would say rerun most stuff at leats 1 time unless it is horrible trim

Winterizing makes it much easier on your lungs. People i've let try my winterized beg me to part with some but I won't.

the thing i've found about freezing butane/material is that if your tube is too big/long the liquid butane will kinda be bottle necked and run slow to not at all.

also joint, where do you get hexane?

You may have too many filters on or packed your material too tightly.

Is your tube bigger than this one? I freeze all my product and butane and never have any problem with butane flow
