@eidodoos great question! The filter is placed onto the pump's exhaust. Vacuum pumps have a tendency to release an oil vapor. This vapor can stick to things in the surrounding room, causing contamination. The filter removes the unwanted oil vapor from the air. Without the vapor present, there is no worry of contamination.

Hello sir!

@brainwashed7244 a 20lb CO2 tank should make 11 pucks!

Cannabinoid Preservation: So your weed stays potent and effective. Picture this: a pristine lab where cannabis is freeze-dried with surgical precision. No contaminants, no funky stuff. As testing standards get stricter, we need clean processes. Freeze drying minimizes contamination risks. It’s like the cannabis equivalent of a sterile surgical suite. Mold and Mildew Be Gone: Hang-drying cannabis flowers in the traditional way can sometimes lead to mold or mildew growth. But freeze drying? It’s like a superhero cape against those villains. No more damp corners or unwanted surprises. The Aromas: Freeze drying keeps the aromas intact. You’ll open that jar of freeze-dried bud, and-voilà!-it smells like a freshly plucked garden. No more faded scents or lost magic. Potency Boost: Traditional drying and curing methods are like the slow-cooked stews of the cannabis world. Tasty, but not as potent. Freeze-dried cannabis, on the other hand, flexes its muscles. It’s like the espresso shot version-strong, vibrant, and ready to party. The Bottom Line: Freeze-dried cannabis is like a time capsule for your stash. It preserves potency, quality, and overall goodness. So whether you’re a producer or a connoisseur, freeze drying is your secret weapon.

@@Jmarosii thats a bunch of bullshit.

@@LMExtraction Don't knock it until you try it!

Personally, I wouldn't freeze dry bud unless I planned on turning it into hash. Even then I'd be hesitant because I suspect excessive drying could lead to lower quality runs of bubble. That being said, I'm watching this because freeze drying hash actually makes sense. I don't really see the point of freeze drying flower outside a commercial setting. I'd argue there's better ways to dry/cure/preserve flower but I'm assuming freeze drying is more cost effective so it is what it is. In their reply they're basically saying it's harder to mess up freeze drying than traditional drying/curing. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that would prefer to freeze dry their own stuff rather than risk messing up the drying/curing process, even if the end result is inferior.

@conroybent4586 we have a 2l setup for $1,275.00, a 5l setup for $2,200.00, and a 10l setup for $4,100.00. Feel free to shoot us an email or give us a call for a personalized quote! [email protected] (331) 281-0154

@paulmcnally7631 we have 710 denatured alcohol, certified 200 proof alcohol, and isopropanols. Check out our website shopbvv.com

@RobertRussel-qg2lf Harvest Rights are pretty sweet! They work well for many applications.

@davidmcghee7696 there is potential loss while performing any refined extraction. In your case you may have had the solvent in contact with the material for far too long. THCA can precipitate out of the solvent! Running multiple post filter setups to clean ethanol extraction could destroy all your terpenes. Ethanol vs hydrocarbon extractions are both widely used and both have their benefits per desired end result.

@nimo517 we use a 50 micron air filter on the air intake inlet. This stops particulates from entering the chamber when letting air back in.

@@Jmarosii thanks! I do have that though. I know my question is reallly elementary sounding, haha so thanks for hanging tight with me…. As a loyal BVV customer haha If you see my recent upload, the vacuum is reached and with nearly zero temperature change, begins to boil off/evaporate.. what happens to that butane or moisture etc that is degassed? It stays in the “air” in the vacuum correct? So releasing that valve just brings all the suspended gas down to atmospheric pressure and temp and where did it go? Not out.. I am especially curious now, after my last run… I think I let it inside the vac too long bc it smells and tastes like dry crap…. Thanks for your help!!! Also, tell Angel I said thanks for the help with the hose fitting!!

@code1555 could be too much heat!

@sneakysquidles2526 we offer support! Amazon does not. We have techs to answer your toughest extraction questions, Amazon does not.

sneakysquidles2526 come back around 4/20 when we have a sweet sale!

@paulmanhart4481 we have more economical options! Look for the 1.5" cold trap on our site 8-)

@paulmanhart4481 it sounds like you need a solvent recovery system, such as a rotary evaporator. This unit is designed to catch any vapor before it makes its way to the vac pump. What type of liquid are you looking to boil off? Feel free to email us at [email protected]!

@mortezaebrahimi737 when ethanol gets a little too hot and bothered, it can cause some cannabinoid decarboxylation. But fear not! Cold ethanol extraction is the hero here. An observed increase in acidic cannabinoid concentrations indicates that cold ethanol extraction doesn’t play the villain by decarboxylating our precious cannabinoids1. So, keep it cool, my friend!

@@Jmarosii Thank you very much for your answer, dear friend. I have another question Regarding the color of the substance extracted after distillation, what should we do so that the color of the substance does not darken after a few days?

@garydoherty7043 maybe you have a screen/filter clogging too fast? You can use a 1/4HP rotary vane pump on a buchner funnel. In this video we used a 1HP vac pump.

@drumhailer547 you certainly can!

@@Jmarosii already did it works perfectly i used a 10 foot roll of copper tubing coiled from the table to the chamber to cool the air 👍👍👍

@jarredstiles9275 it depends on the viscosity. The barrel heats up, but is typically used with distillate, which tends to be more runny than rosin.

@magician you can use a cold trap on any vacuum pump! Just needs to be in-line the vacuum hosing and it'll keep moisture out of the pump's oil.

@kermets we let the people know the listed tri-clamp size is the OD of the spool, not the ferrule.

@Gta_Selection might work! But that does not remove the chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can add taste and be an issue within further processing. Using a filter aid after extraction typically gives the best result.

also whats the difference between having a tri receiving cow instead one? is it only breaking vaccum or not to change for the heads main and tails?

@marcoallin the idea behind the mono cow is to remove the chance of contaminating your main body with the residue of heads/tails.

@@Jmarosii tks
