Fresh frozen kief??I just did a run lastnight.. Fresh Frozen + Dry Ice + Grain Alcohol, filtered thru just one layer of filter paper.. Not even green
What are the odds, i'm just about to experiment with making oil from dry ice extracted keif and 99% iso. Glad i found this thread!
Would love to see your results as I am planning to try an EtOH extraction on the kief I yielded 24% off of with butane.

Let us know how that secondary run comes out as well if you would
If you are using thermos method and getting a lot of oil stuck on the sides then you are not using enough butane.
Not planning on doing the secondary extraction for a while now. After my initial kief run, I did another run with GW's 60% yield off bubble in mind -- thinking that I had not fully extracted the kief. This time I ran my extractor extra long. The yield went from 24% to 29% however this 20% increase also made the stuff a few shades darker. Not sure if its worth the extra yields because the 24% run was pretty gorgeous but the 29% run is ho-hum.
Therefore I am thinking there is about 4% left to be extracted on my original kief run so probably not worth the ethanol until I finish my cold trap.
What happened to the folks talking about their successful runs but no pictures? I just did a run with kief alternating with trimmings/popcorn in the tube not compressed at all, just dropped in there. It was a horrible experience. Yes, half of the butane started coming out the top and running down the tube. My glove froze up and about gave me frostburn. the kief in the tube turned to mud and the whole batch just cemented down with nowhere for the gas to go but up. Fuck that. Now I have a 3ft tube of cemented kief and shake to try to rerun.

fook! - how full was the tube? Hope your okay.
read a few threads on a topic before complaining about people with successful runs and "no pictures"
here are 2 threads full of pics of the process:

both have pics, as does this thread....
so i don't get what the issue with no pics to back up successful runs is (TRY reading more posting less)
also, pretty sure i warn about that pressure build up issue when blasting through keif in my thread.
hell ya and lol ^^^^^^^^ nice setup av

Just sharing my experience for the sake of others. That's why we're all here, no? Yes. I did read up on it and have already seen those posts - including this one. In fact my set up was based on the picture and description you posted of your long glass tube that you say ran just fine. I have a similar tube so I tried it. Maybe my tube does not have a tight enough seal, maybe a screw on and a tight tip is the best way to go. All I am saying is that the liquid chose to come out the top more so than the bottom. It sucked. I learned.
sorry if i came off harsh cat man,
i've had that same pressure build up problem, thats why i made a thread about the process and warned people of the dangers of the butane buildup and overflow in my keif to bho thread....
it's definitely different than running flowers in that regard, the pressure buildup in the tube.
hope it goes well for you next time you blast thru keif, catman

I've spoken to a few people who had problems blasting with kief. They described issues where the layer of kief basically fused into a blob and built up backpressure caused problems such as compromising the structural integrity of the tube. I have not personally extracted un kief in an open tube but based on the problems described I would say the best way to do it would be to incorporate the kief in such a way that it doesn't have an opportunity to form a layer that blocks your tane from flowing down. (Eg, rather than packing in layers, mix it in homogeneously.)
Has anyone tried adding High quality kiff to the oil before the purge and blending it in? ... ive ran kif before had blows out whole deal , pack um light , be patient when spraying, small runs are better ... i found is best to add little bit of un crushed leaves to kiff.. maybe 15% ratio , let tube fill it self .. no packing... one run came out like blood . it was amazing.. Kiff runs are darker and mega strong but flaves are different than running veg material..... this was Pre vac days so im not sure how purging would effect it

I wouldn't add anything until after purging.. I have added some amazing kief to my fully purged bho.. and it came out ok.. just make sure when u do it. spread ur bho out.. add heat.. get it a lil sappy like consistentcy wise.. and then add ur kief and stir it up.. press it.. n mix it up a lot.. make sure its evenly mixed.. my shit still bubbles up nicely.. just has more flavor and taste.. leaves a lil residue on the nail.. but what can u expect wen keif leaves behind a lot of shit anyways.. I only did this 2 grams of bho. to 3 grams of keif.. ended up with a patty that still was like shatter in a sense that when u break of pieces it still shattered .. but iuno me personally I didn't mind the jelly hash.. but I wont make it unless i want it for my head.
