Regarding yields that's the idea, but I couldn't say for sure. This is only the second run I've done. "Firmly packed" is my understanding - and you don't want it too tight, or you may create paths of least resistance your butane will run through instead.
The tube is a 304L stainless steel that's 36" long and has a 1" outside diameter.
I clamped a 120 micron 304L stainless steel mesh at the bottom as a filter. I can't seem to link the page for the life of me so it's a 9230T455 at mcmaster.com

you want things packed tight.
I use a screen and hose clamp like the one on the bottom to hold the rubber stopper in, as a just in case.
I always pack from the bottom. That rubber stoppers in there good and held in place.
I like to have a little pressure in my tube

Thanks for the tip, I'll try clamping my stopper in next time as well.

interesting..now im thinking bout building a tube instead of buying a turkey baster. So many decisions.
This should work fine right? http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Ste...?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1320716735&sr=1-131
I like the fact i could make a couple tubes in dif lengths with this one piece.
Do you just drill a hole in the rubber stopper to fit the butane nozzle?

It should work just fine. You can also order 12" lengths - I just did this with a 1" OD tube.
The rubber stopper just had a hole drilled in it, yeah. I did have to cap it with my thumb as soon as I took out the can though or it would start leaking gas - I'll need to find something more convenient later.

I like the Honey -Bee extractors better than threading my own pipes. I have to use too much plumbing tape to seal the leaks in homemade extractors.

wow! interesting concept. i have used parchments folds to give small samples frozen, but never thought of using it for collection. i will have to give this one a try. i can see a splash issue, but no more then normal. i may even be able to capture some lid spray (butane recycling system) if i fold the paper correctly.
what do you think, graywolf?
will report back.
I've never tried it but it would be an interesting experiment.
novel idea no doubt, but scraping is very easy too. just do it with a warmed plate, it takes maybe 1-2 minutes.

yea what would the advantage be with the PP? It seems like you would have to freeze the PP and then shatter everything off which would be a pain too...

yes, but if you pop it in the freezer on parchment, it pulls together and absolutely does not stick.
i do think there is alot of bow off occurring without some containment. perhaps paper bagging around the end of the tube.

I also prefer the scrape method, in part because I can gauge very easily the completion of my purge during the scrape. If when I take the first (before heating) blade swipe and what comes off is a clear, see through layer that grows yellow with farther pushing and almost seems like a thin layer of see through glass, then I am properly purged.
If when I hit that first scrape things feel too tacky, I plop it down on the heat pad for another 20 and check it again.

Would you mind elaborating on this? I've been told my scrapes 'look tacky' previously but I'm not really sure what that means.
Just from my experience if I can scrape a non heated plated with little effort then it needs to be purged more for what it's worth. When all is said and done correctly .I cannot scrape a non heated dish. I will break the razor it is so hard. Came close to losing an eye once doing this. Sorry I haven't been around much to follow this thread, been very busy with new projects.

So I've done about 6 or 7 runs in a smaller glass tube. Pack it twice. Maybe half oz-20grams per run? Get a decent yield, use very fresh buds so each time has been quite vibrant gold. I can't seem to get it to change states to wax or acheieve a glass state, any tips? Also, where can I find a cheap hand vacuum pump for purging?
This is the cheapest I could find it works ok.
