Ordered a gal on August 31st but I ordered it through amazon.com for $88.19 after shipping. It was processed right away they shipped on sept. 2nd I received it earlier today sept. 5th it shipped from Carlsbad, CA and shipped to Bellingham, Washington. Couldn't be happier with shipping times. Came in 1 1 gallon jug discrete in double wall cardboard box the passes construction requirements for hazardous materials packaging requirements for freight classification. ( in case anybody really wanted to know) had a return address for kleen xtract that's about it. And no I didn't need to sign for it I'm sure he would have left it sitting on my doorstep had I not been standing outside when UPS arrived. Also I wasn't asked anything for verification that I was of certain age or identity..... I was the guy standing in front of the house the package was addressed to therefore must be who the package was intended for. All said by no means am I complaining always been happy with UPS service as long as it's not FED EX SMART POST I'm happy if it was fed ex smart post I wouldn't order it in the first place. For anyone that's had issues with the delivery , by chance is it or was it shipped fed ex smart post? I've noticed any items lately I've had problems with we're all fed ex smart post and their screwed up delivery system, if anyone's interested I could probably pull up the article I read explaining why their system was so screwed up. Anyway hope that helps anyone that's uneasy about shipping from kleen xtract . I've got some material I want to experiment with. I've read all 16 pages of this thread since receiving it today have had it in the freezer and have been getting fidgety and need to see some results first hand.

One question........ So once I open it since it's in a one gallon jug how do you recommend preventing as little water absorption as possible. Should maybe I split it into like 4 quart jars so I can keep them sealed until they're needed rather than opening and closing the one gallon exposing the whole batch every time I use it?

I have a smaller bottle, but I close the lid tight and keep it in the freezer.

 

[TeeJay1952]

Ordered gallon and screens today.
Let's see what this is all about.
Thanks for holding my hand and being patient while I gathered info and courage.

 

[NickDlow]

I can't wait to see ur results and ur tek. Now for the worst part, the wait lol.

@Buddy4541 where the heck did u find that on amazon?

 

[NickDlow]

Sorry for the back to back....

Performed another KX run.

Starting material: frozen KX, frozen 10g of Recon broken up.

5 min Wash: filled KX just over material, swirl for 10sec every min on the min.

Strain: 50 micron ss screen on mason jar into 10 micron ss screen into parchment lined Pyrex

Evap: placed on hot plate temp 45c or 113f, oil temp 83f with fan directly blowing on it for roughly 9 hrs.

Results: 1.4g or golden shatter. 14% return on first wash.

I will save the material n wait for another run then combine both 2nd washes n blast them with tane. Never tried combining the two I'm interested in the results thanks for listening guys

Nice @NickDlow, I really need to jump on the 10 micron ss screens...and man, those starting flowers look so damn good compared to what I have

 

[NickDlow]

Thank you I'm very proud of them myself The 10 microns are a must!!!! I'm doing another run of "blue ice" (Blueberry crossed with Alaskan Ice) I'll post those up too currently in the freezer lol

 

[CrazyDiamond]

And you should be. The 10 micron makes a big difference compared to using the unbleached coffee filter I take it? I guess I need to get me some sss.

not... even... close

Would you mind taking a pic of the bud after it's been broken up please? Maybe with something in there for scale too? I'm trying to gauge how much most people break it up, and I'm a very visual person. I know @DieHard says a little coarser then preparing for a joint.

I'm curious if everyone does it by hand, or uses a grinder. If using a grinder, I'm assuming a VERY light grind?

Thanks!

@2clicker that's....................what..................I..............thought...........lol, j/k...just wanted confirmation. I'll have to get some from that site you posted. They last pretty much indefinitely if you keep them clean? And what's the best way to clean?

yeah i think if you take care of them they can last quite a long time. i use iso sometimes and boil them. usually i run scorching hot water through them reverse the direction i filtered in. but do it soon after. ive done this only and used them again w/out any negatives... at least from what i can tell. not saying they are totally cleaned though obviously.

the 10 micron though i would suggest more frequent cleanings. maybe even a blue dawn scrubbing...? then boiled.

i think i will contact the guys over there at 316tws to see if they can recommend anything.

[CrazyDiamond]

Thanks @2clicker I look forward to hearing what they say.

@Roth

You rock. Many thanks. Going to try another run myself soon and hope to up my yields.

 

[darkrom]

IMO if you want the finest of the fine take whatever technique you are using and soak for a RIDICULOUSLY short time for a first wash. You'll get a lower yield of course, but the 2nd run will be as good as a 2 min soak and normal yield, minus the premium small return first wash. I'm talking 10-15 sec. If you can spare the solvent cost and the 1 more purge time etc, it is well worth it imo.

 

[NickDlow]

Are u talking about using KX and doing that? What are the benefits to using this technique?

 

[2clicker]

Thanks @2clicker I look forward to hearing what they say.

Ben said "You soak them overnight in rubbing alcohol and then run hot water through them. It seems to be the best way. Even though it is very simple. Thanks"

so i would say iso and boiling them is good. and rinsing them in HOT water immediatly after use. i hang mine to dry.

i wonder if PBW would be effective here...?

 

[CrazyDiamond]

Thanks for that info @2clicker...I'm gonna have go ahead order some of these for sure.

 

[invisiblefriend]

the links from KKLEAN site no longer work

im so thankful to have the FC FAMILY

so I feel ok ordering !

thx everyone

Ran a zip last night.
With minimal freezing and two ten minute soaks there was maybe 500 ml of gold liquid.

Still very little green. Computer fan over baking dish overnight... golden goo.

I think I am getting a significantly higher return than with everclear. This is not a lab here but I just got 5.3 raw grams from a zip. A recent run with EC of same weight, same material got 4.1. Both cold extractions.
Kleenxtract is a pleasure to work with. I really like that it evaporates completely without heat.

To be clear, this is for a medicinal oil. Dunno about dabbing it. I do know that KX is cost competitive
with EC and it's 100% ethanol. Try it, you'll like it.

thx 4 advice my friends

im gunna give this a try ---- sounds like this could take some huge steps outa my process

EDIT ( so so sorry 4 double post my bad -- i just noticed in my excitement -- my bad)

OK I appeal to the Council of Knowledge that reside here. I got my gallon, gold mesh coffee filter, 10 micron mesh filter, oil slick paper roll and 12 grams of my "Butterscotch." Hand crushed buds, small but not ground. Freezer for 24 hour along with Jug. Add to mason jar, top return to freezer,. Every minute get out swirl jar madly and reinsert. 4th minute (1 min past last swirl) pour though coffee filter. Next slow pour though 10 micron screen into oil slick paper clipped to the edge of glass baking dish. 24 hours and a red I hesitate to call it oil residue is on sheet. I fold and press but very little luck. Reminiscent of my recent "Tar Baby gram adventure" I individually use dap tool to press up what I can and It looks to be around a gram. When you guys hold up your golden swiss cheese are you doing pounds or something? Please critique and suggest away.

PS My daughter thinks it is the best thing she ever tasted and wants to quit the convent.

 

[CrazyDiamond]

I do 7 grams at the most...it's not how much you start with and from the sounds of it, the strain would be fine. I do about the same as you with ISO and much shorter washes (will try the Kleen soon); you mentioned "swirl jar madly", I have concern about this as I've seen no one say do it that way. I've always seen "gently swirl"...that may be your issue. Also, I do use heat to evap and what I have found is that I always need a second, quick re-heat (about 105*F for 30 minutes give or take) and after doing that, the oil gets much more "hard". Hope this helps.

 

[TeeJay1952]

I am but an egg. Thank you I will add that to the try try again. It sure is some nice yucky stuff!
