Holy run!!!

[VapeNStone]

Just had my best run ever. Used what was left in the shake jar. I didn't weigh it do I'm not for sure, but it couldn't have been more then 5 grams. Didn't even fill my extractor tube 75%! I didn't weigh this either but in comparison to other runs this is twice the amount. I really couldn't believe it when I saw how much. This was the result of two runs of the same bud but I really thought it was a lot. Which is why I want to share. What do you think?

 

[VapeNStone]

Oh I forgot to add I usually get about a gram to a gram and a half on other runs. So I believe this to be around 2 grams or more.

hrm, i doubt you could get 2 grams of oil from 5 grams of starting product. hell my last run was about 15% and that was bud.
your stuff also seems a bit dark for me. The only time i have gotten anything that dark, is when i resprayed a batch for the 2nd time

 

[VapeNStone]

The darkness is just the shitty light and using a cell phone. I kid you not this is just from tops 5 grams ran twice. The bigger unifomed glob on the left is from the first run and the second glob on the right is from the second. It is amazing oil as I make it all the time. But I have never got so much from such a little amount before. Usually I have been getting about a gram to 1.4 or so with 7 grams of green. So this can't be too far off, just thought I would share.

well consider this, you only get above 20% on good buds only, no trim. there is no way you get 40% return, that is impossible.
i am not being harsh, just letting you know.
also you said you ran it twice, don't bother. if i were to do that like i have in the past, i keep the batches separate, as the quality is vastly different. it is more sedative, so it is good for sleep.
even though its shitty lighting, it is still pretty dark. if you mixed the first and second run together, that explains why.

 

[FLskwat]

So yes there is a way of getting 40%: Do runs on bubble hash!
I frecuently use top nutch marrocan bubble & pollen and get around 40% back as explained in the spiderman oil thread!
But yes: bud run will never exceed 23% (this with the soaking method in the thermos + TOP QUALITY bud + freezing both the buds and the tane can!) and generally not exceed 19-20% with the SSTB!
I have also found that you get the most out of the minimum: better do a small run on 5 to 7g then a bigger one on 20-25 g IMO!

I really don't care if you believe me or not, that is the result of my 1st and 2nd run. I just showed the picture to show everyone cause I was excited. Good job on bringing me right back down to reality.

 

[VapeNStone]

I also jam mother fucking packed the extractor tube. So maybe thats why I got so much and its a little darker than normal.

 

[my name is erl]

packing the tube tight has nothing to do with getting it that dark. you want it packed tight so it won't flow through too easy, and not too tight where you get a blow back.
sorry vapeNstone, it is hard to believe that you got 2 grams of oil from 5 grams of shake. The best bho makers can't get close to that, and you passed them all by with your 5 gram runs.
i would first invest in a scale maybe, that way you aren't just throwing numbers around.
also document your run on youtube or something. every bho maker in the world wants to know how you got 40% runs off shake!

 

[VapeNStone]

I have a scale which is why I said it was more then before runs. I just don't like weighing it because its a pain in the ass. How about you just say good job and move along

 

[VapeNStone]

I have done about 10 dabs out of it at least so far. So when my gf gets home I'll have here scrape it all together and weigh it up. I don't have the patience and my hands are always so warm. Then you can see exactly mister earl

So what you saying if you get 10 grams of pot you can get 4 grams of hash. So you pot is 40% kief? So with 40% kief on your marijuana it will look like one giant crystal. Makes feel a little horny thinking about a plant like that. You should locate the grower cause he has the most keif heavy hooch in the world. If you seeing 40% by weight you are no less than 1/2 contaminates (most likely much more). Could be plant matter or residue from extraction chemicals but it is not all hash. I don't mean this critically of what your doing. If your happy with your produce then that's great but it can be refined, filtered, purged more, much more. It can be a lot of work. The cleaner it is - the less there will be.

(Dang you got a closet full of smoking stuff, nice)

 

[my name is erl]

in the first post at the end i thought i read "what do you think?"
impossible was the first word that came to me

 

[my name is erl]

well he was using the shake, so you have to assume the buds would test out like 50% or higher thc

 

[FLskwat]

I have to agree with these guys... this is maths and chemistry and guys with top nuggs & tamasium extractors do not reach the 40%, not even close to it.
As stated Hash runs can really reach those yield and I'm talking the BEST 1st pressure creams... I have done MANY runs with hashes/pollens/kiefs and have reached once or twice 38-39% yield but it is usually around 32% (which is already a "holy run" in the concentrate world)!
OP: seeing the darkness and quantity of your product I have a few questions:
-How ground up was the weed? Powder/hand broke/intact nuggs?
-How did you purge and if yes how long?
-how many coffee filters did you use?
-do you have some residue on your nail after a dab?

EDIT: This is from SHAKE???? OK then we have even a more complex equation here!

 

[WatTyler]

a lot of what is in the very bottom of my jar is kief, as I've not cleaned it out fully in a long long time. Maybe not 40% of it, but perhaps this could've been?


lol, the coin for size reference means nothing to me! haha, it happens a lot- we need an international size reference.

 

[VapeNStone]

And the grand total is? 1.5 grams and I did a whole bunch already. I'd say at least .3 so I wasn't too far off on my first estimate.

 

[VapeNStone]

Here is a pic in the sunlight.

You don't have to convince anyone here. I don't think anyone is questioning how much stuff you getting. It just what the stuff is.
FLskwat ask some pertinent questions. You really didn't address mine either. Do you think you weed is 40% keif? Actually to have that percentage of pure oil you would need higher than that. And this is all I'm going to say about that.

Good Luck

 

[VapeNStone]

I ground up the up just a tad to break it up, but I did jam it pretty good into the tube. It only filled it just under 75% of the way. Then I ran it, but we have noticed that you don't need to use a whole can when running so little. So I ran maybe half a can maybe a tad more IDK for sure. Then I ground it up like a mother fucker and ran it again using the rest of the can but still not even a whole can but very close. I don't use coffee filters. I just purge it by switching the water(to keep it hot enough) and messing around with it with a tool. This purges and gets all the inside butane out(or at least that's what it looks and smells like). Then I ball it up and put it on the glass. That's when I took the picture.

 

[VapeNStone]

I use a skillet and yes there is a little bit of residue on it after I'm done.

 

[VapeNStone]

But I have just thought that might have been because I didn't get it hot enough?

 

[VapeNStone]

Not so much debate now I see :-)

 

[snew]

You obviously have it all figured out. If want to make better oil there's people here to help you but I don't think anyone wants to just argue back and forth. Everyone here know there no way to extract that percentage of clean oil.

 

[FLskwat]

Yes sorry I was out you know in France it is late^^!

So I use a can of tane for +20G!!! So for 5g you could have used 1/4th...
The jamming and grinding seems ok, but if we are talking shake then it is already pretty much grinded...
How many coffee filter layers?
How was it purged?

I'm asking cause U used a LOT of tane and if you didn't purge it A LOT part of your weight is IMO 'tane...

&

also if you have residue on the nail though it is not "smoking" after your inhale...and in that case the residue looks like "ashes"= vegetal matters in your oil
if you have black cristalized bubbly residue and your nail was smoking after your inhale: then yes you did not vape your whole dab either because the nail wasn't hot enough or because you did not inhale enough...
