Swagelok 304L Stainless Steel Vessel

My sickest co2 subcritical unit thus far has evolved from methods to equipment, this thing way rocks in terms of performance and expectations. And the name is so well trusted, thank you Swagelok for giving me the peice of mind knowing I am safe within parameters.

We use only Swagelok fittings on our 3 supercritical machines. We feel the same way about having piece of mind.

Finally a like minded individual. Good to hear from you. Tell me about your thoughts about this being a realistic subcritical liquid extractor costing $500 as a starter kit w instructions? It won't do subcritical water, but has serious potential smashing a cannabis cup entry and done on an economic scale, making it a sick ass unit, in an affordable pro package.
 
I am going to venture in to subcritical water from an assembled tube fittings and create it's subcriticaln condition of 217 atmospheres and 705F which is absurdly hot and can catch clothing and the like on fire from contact w that kind of heat. Automatic valves are needed for my plc so I need not release the gas manually. Way hip tunable solvent.
 
This is leading by example. The choicest materials, no reactions from carbonic acids when using co2, and perfect for co2 either in sub/supercritical temps and pressures. It is restricted to 140 bar, but thats more than enough power to get sick ass work done and the most potent product is obtained. Not so much a big yielder, but potency is the beast in this area.

What are the benefits and added requirements of subcritical water vs regular subcritical? Very interested in co2 but for home use, not looking to drop 60k for an apeks.

I like and have used a ton of Swagelock over the years as well, in the right application. The down tubes on my original Terpenator prototypes were all Swagelock.

Except for the brand of pressure vessel, yours looks a bunch like the JYNdustriez system that we've been having the pleasure of playing with, though some pieces seem to be missing.

Now that you have shown us your product and price, perhaps you would answer the sorts of questions for us, that we would ask anyone else attempting to sell us their product.

How much material does your Swagelock tank hold?
How much liquid CO2 do you load, at what cost?
Is the scale included in the price of the unit?
What temperature do you take it to?
How are you providing and controlling the temperature.
Is the heat source and controls included in the price?
What pressure does that end up being?
How long do you hold it?
What are you using for a collection vessel and what is its efficiency?
How do you remove the oil from the collection vessel?
What is the oil yield per cycle.
How many cycles to strip a load of material?
What is your average total yield?

I am delighted to see that you have a camera, and wonder if you would pleasure us with pictures of extractions from this device?

Good luck with that! He might have to get off his high horse to answer questions and take/post pics.

At my age I don't get lucky often, but hope springs eternal in the breast of even tattered old wolves.

As brother CO2 portrayed himself as leading by example, I was sincerely hoping to see the new standard for being open and forth coming with actual usable information, vis a vis hoopla and disparagement.
 
Every single as pect your curious about is gone through in my old video 420 Honey Oil Extraction CO². Just switch out the vessel and its not different steps. Its a 500ml double ended cylinder DOT3 compliant. Whitey 1800psi, optimal range is 10-40 grams of weed w about 0.5lbs of dry ice, venturied effect on co-solvents and charger unit to skirt around pumps. Works about 2,000psi at some initial fills and can accept no heat. Other times only fills to 600psi where I add water at 100C. So it all depends on the pressure needed or start bleedin immediately. It usually gets hit for a primary extract only w this unit. Cheap thrills are restricted to lower pressures but aren't lacking in potency in the least.

Sooooo, if your job was to instruct the new employee to operate your Swagelock based unit, what exactly would you tell him to do to end up with usable oil?

Would you expect acceptable results, if you handed him your last post?

Are you here to share or to sell your product and services?

I have been reading these forums for awhile now and have come to the conclusion that CO2extracter is simply an attention starved troll. Of the worst kind: he baits with insults to BHO then backs with CO2 vagary. In Hawaii we call this "all lip, no crip." In this wonderland of incredible information and extremely helpful people CO2extractor guy seems out of place. Just an observation for what it's worth....


....i think if we all got in a group hug with him in the middle and chanted "Co2 IS as good as BHO" over and over while hugging he might be o.k.
 
You guys are funny. Eden will tell you what they use to obtain their results, they won't discuss or demonstrate methods that achieve the objective as that is saved to train the operator of the unit once the solidified sales takes place. In untrained, very stoned, or incompitant peoples hands is more than enough power to create some sever damage. The thread could not possably be printed for liabilty reasons and recommending you cats a substandard explanation isn't very responsible of me, thus deeming you a liability. I can only ensure a thorough demonstration as I cover bases answering questions. It would practically be a grant application that would be needed leaving many scratching their heads as the paperwork only goes into great depth, spaning a wide range of subjects including but not limited to gas laws, pressures and temperatures, suitable equipment, critical points, ideal conditions, dangerous habits, fatal accidents, and good practices that make the use of carbon dioxide as a prime solvent of choice as well as GRAS. Its a higher level of conscienceness for appling a higher standard of expectations.

Why those rascals, and here I thought Fritz, Nate, John and I were friends and mostly openly sharing!

I feel so gullible! Do you think they just like funning me cause ah'm so easy to shuck?

GRAS. Its a higher level of conscienceness for appling a higher standard of expectations.

And heads up, its March 4th this year, don't miss it if you have the chance. We are going to be burning a shit load of oil as we lead up to the GRAS in New Orleans, and we will certainly attain a higher level of consciousness.

Hee, hee, hee, haven't done that for decades! Wonder if I would recognize it after Katrina?

As I recall it was spiritually uplifting and loads of fun passing out glass beaded necklaces to qualifying good hearted purdy women bearing their breast.
 
Well I believe you are all friends sharing common knowledge that is substandard. Why don't you pull up some fatalites as a result of neglegance from supercritical carbon dioxide and super pressures. Once you understand that accidents happening at these pressures are often fatal. Get back to me after you find the root of some of these accidents.

What would we do without your deep insight bro? Thanks for sharing!

Ummmmm, are you asking for us to get back to you so you will finally know the answer?
