does over packing blast column compromise yield?

[RGG]

Sorry if this has been discussed before i did try and search but couldn't find much.

As the title says if if pack the blast column to tight will it yield less?

i noticed on a couple of runs that when i pushed the blasted material out of the column some of the material which had been touching the sides clearly still has resin in. it was clumping together but it only seemed to be on the edge of the column is this from over packing?

im using a passive closed loop system with 500g dewaxing column.

would leaving my recovery tank in dry ice be an issue at all? when i have been running all day i have found i struggle to pull the butane into the column as there is no pressure in the recovery tank even with a vacuum pulled on my system, i have started taking the recovery tank out of dry ice in between runs to build up pressure.

Uneven packing reduces yield, because the liquid finds the easy way through. Try putting a wad of coffee filters ahead of your herb, so that the liquid is diffused over the whole top surface, instead of just shooting down the center.


We average about 3.8 to 4.1 grams/cubic inch in our columns, depending on how the material is prepped.

I was blasting yesterday and tried to pack as evenly as possible and not quite as tight as i had been and there seemed to be very little resin left on the material.

I have some kind of defuser a bit like a shower head where my butane blasts in so it wouldn't go straight down the middle.

Sup grey
When this man packs a tube u need a compressor to blow it out lol... but he knows what he is doing more then anyone was of filters up top makes a huge differed they also make shower head plates for the top of the tube that do the same... but like the old man said having it packed even n tighter is always better in a closed loop when it's an open system a light pack is better cuz u risk blow outs and all other disasters...

Can't edit cuz this a newer act but both posts supposed to say WAD of coffee filters not was
