Ok, so I will order the 1 pound model with the 3x36" tube. What about those upgrades?
Some of the Upgrades I would suggest are:
Larger collection pot (10x12) as I believe the 6x6 is just too small.
Larger butane tank. I still use the one for the 1lb model, but am wanting to
upgrade to the bigger one (+250$) and I want to put valves right on
the orifices, rather than the Flare-hose-valve setup.
Also, I just ordered the Appion Megaflow hose (http://www.trutechtools.com/MegaFlow-12-in-Hose--6ft_p_1646.html) to decrease recovery time...

^ thats sound advice...
just get the 2.5lb model... and some smaller spools incase u uhave smaller runs.
very soon. they are going to be releasing a double sided pot that u can actually put water into so you will no longer need a water bath. I ordered a custom bottom plate with a 1/4" flare and an extractor stand so i can just dump my tane into a pyrex instead of pour... I am still waiting to hear if it is possible to put a slope in there so it can drain efficiently...

Thanks! I have appion and Bhogart ordered now. Any one have a link to a decent vac-pump & chamber seller?
I got this one - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vacuum-Cham.../141150402293?pt=BI_Pumps&hash=item20dd3836f5
Works great!
Also, got this to put it in - http://www.target.com/p/oster-18-qt-self-basting-roaster/-/A-14678506#prodSlot=medium_1_15

Does anyone have info on dewaxing with a bhogart?
He's probably referring to running with dry ice which is apparently called dewaxing now.

I think people are "dewaxing" like this...
Use the pour off method into a room temp or cold pyrex.
The waxes precipitate out if its cold outside or if u have some ice under the pyrex.
Take the pyrex and tilt it, and the waxes can be scooped out before the solvent evaporates. You dont need dry ice to do this, but u probly will pull less wax out of the material with a dry ice run.

Dewaxed, single solvent. Same ideah. Just without alcohol.

I don't really get the last part of Brett's statement "Winterized batches that I see tested are super high ppm, or super low terps."
Also, since we already have coffee filters on our extractors and the trim/nugs act as a filter of sorts, why not just supercool your butane to start with? Anyone know the freezing point of butane?

N Butane freezes at about 135.4C http://www.airgas.com/documents/pdf/001007.pdf
Isobutane freezes at about 160C.
We had problems with any moisture present freezing up in a MT-69 when in an alcohol/dryice bath.
The Appion MegaFlow hose showed up 3 minutes after I started my
first wash on my last batch today, damnit! Running again tomorrow, will
report my findings then. The thing is huge! looks like a hydraulic line...
Just need to change out the fitting on the tank lid...

I've experienced that the mega flows can begin to leak at the threads after a month or two....I was told by my local RSD guys that this is common and to avoid using them. I ordered kobra hoses from RSD that are identical to the megaflows. They are a custom order but the same price as mega flows, even a little cheaper if you buy enough.

RSD is Refrigeration Supply Depot.
Ive switched to stainless hoses with JIC connections throughout the system. Corrugated Stainless is rate for much colder temps than teflon lined hoses.
The same size hose as the megaflow in all stainless cost me 125 to get made locally.

No I went in trying to find an alternative to mega flows because two had began leaking....they chuckled and said nobody uses those. They gave me a more affordable alternative but would have gladly ordered me more megaflows if i was a stubborn prick. Obviously the o rings can be replaced but its the threads that are the problem.
RSD is Refrigeration Supplies Distributor and they don't make commission off their sales. I wish they did cause they are super helpful and don't shun me because I'm extracting and use cash....I trust the opinion of guys that have been using these tools for decades.....
