in all fairness they are based out of the Bay Area, so pink might be very appropriate

Looks good to me. I'm excited to hear how this was accomplished.Somebody needs to tell that kid to change the teflon tape on his connections, pink=water pipes, yellow = gas.
so heres the proof of pudding pics finally.
First pic is before i installed the filters, a batch of tangerine kush from outdoor trim that has extremely high wax concentrations. Following gw's 10ml-1g rule i put 150 grams into a 1500ml jar and topped it off and this was the result.[URL=https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=48466&pictureid=1232117&=1]View Image[/url]
following instillation of the new doo'hickeys, i ran more tangerine kush, and used 70 grams to winterize a smaller batch to see if the filters really made that much of a difference.

now onto step 2 is to do the total yeild calculations and smoke reports, my favorite part
it needed some work, but after in done with it it ends up as blonde cotton candy, has a texture like foam/sand/cottoncandy. made this batch about 2 weeks ago and it still looks just as blonde and same fluffyness (excpt some of the icebergs have turned into golden rocks, future reference i need to make smaller chunks lol)

So once again for the third time, what are u using that is costing so much to dewax?? I need to go over the math again but rough estimation is 80-90% wax removed using my new setup. Still perfecting it but it seems it'll work w any of the systems that are knockoffs of gw's design so it'll work on yours/sweet leaf/bhogsart as well. sorry it's been so long for reply but the 420 cup calls and sometimes I gotta drop some knowledge bombs

Not to sound like a dick, but shouldn't you be telling US how YOU dewax? All redbeard is saying(if I'm not mistaken) is that his unit is the same as the sweetleaf without the inline dewaxing feature. That would mean that you're paying $4350(the price difference between the two units) for the ability to inline dewax.
It seems as thought you interpreted that as "the way I dewax costs $4350"
So please, tell us, what is this method that you discovered, which only costs $20, that will allow us to remove 80-90% of waxs?
I saw that you want to keep this method secret because youre unsure if its a fluke or not. Wouldnt that be all the more reason to share it with everyone? Great things can come from those who share...(GW
)Regardless, to come on here and say you have a superior method "but you can't see it" is well, questionable...
If it would benefit the community, you should share. That is of course, if the community is important to you.

The only thing he could have done for that little is use filter paper that he cut to size. You'd still need dry ice which adds to the cost. It is easy to insinuate how you are accomplishing something for almost nothing when you choose not to provide details. I stand by my original statement about the guy. We shouldn't even acknowledge the dude, because I seriously doubt he has figured out something that we haven't. I almost never believe people who quote numbers because it is based in opinion rather than fact.
I don't consider our system like SL's as theirs is passive, not made for production, wildly expensive for what you get, and unsafe.

i been trying to get in touch with these guys about a 1lbs system with inline dewax. maybe u can help me?

I had emailed them on FB and it took a couple months for them to get back to me. Their normal response on IG is to bully, mock, make fun of, or make it sound like they know it all, which won't fly here. That is why you haven't seen them back.
it would be very easy to make this yourself, yes? i don't see what is so difficult?
what i don't understand is why they have two spools on the bottom bucket? is there something in particular about how far the column sticks into the bucket?
it seems to me the only reason you wouldn't add this to a terp would be because it'd be too tall! lol

If I understand correctly, GW cools his butane tank in dry ice and alcohol to chill his butane before extraction. Has anyone tried to do in-line chilling? Perhaps coiled SS tube or some type of radiator submerged in the DI alcohol mixture would adequately cool it, and since you wouldn't have to cool all of your butane, but only that which you inject, you would save a considerable amount of dry ice. If you were to install a tee with a thermowell after the contraption, you would be able to monitor your temp. If it worked well enough, theoretically you could slow the flow through the coil to extending the amount of time that the butane stays in the coil, hence dropping the temperature. Any thoughts on whether or not this may work?

I think I may see what you mean...
I asked GW about this and he said he personally feels that not extracting them in the first place is sufficient, but he gave me suggestions to do it anyway.
This is what I came up with:
I thought it was a pretty cool idea(GW's idea). A cheaper alternative to buying a sweetleaf, and can be added to any terp. You just remove the middle column after extraction and chill it in DI like you would your butane before blasting. The filters in the pictures are lab filters which will filter the waxes out. Leaving your dewaxed product in the collection pot, ready for the oven.
That way if you chose to winterize you could just not use the middle column. I decided to put the idea on the back burner for a while and just use the method GW suggested. Curious what you think though bro, you seem to have a much tighter grasp on this stuff than I do.
Also curious what GW has to say about your idea.
in reference to the "chilling before blasting" method, is there any advantage to chilling your columns AND your butane or will just the butane suffice? Curious if chilling the column is even worth it. Would like to do some experimenting with my unit once I get it.
Hope this helps
We always freeze our columns to keep the temps low throughout the extraction (we have sleeves welded on the spool), but mainly to freeze moisture.
the only difference between your idea and sweet leaf is that you take it off and put it in a cooler, where as they just have a cooler built in. like i've been trying to see, it seems SUPER EASY to add this to ANY terp. it would just be really tall
