Yep just pack the buds in. Never had a moisture issue.
I've never attempted that. Please share more about the rest of your process???

99% of the time I get something that's budder/sugarwax/crumble wax.. its usually because I purge it for a extended period of time.. i thought i read somewere if im wrong please forgive me but i could of sworn fucking greywolf said.. to get below 500ppm.. u can do that in less that 30 minutes.. it might have been someone else.. but i could of sworn it was GW.. but if i fucked up. im sorry GW.. lol. as i cant remember who said it .. and had lab tests to prove it .
Our fresh frozen comes off the plants, into a 6x36 sleeved spool. Drive the spool to the extractor, load it up, pull a vac then add dry ice or LCo2 and wait. After at least an hr the extraction begins.
Have had stability issues most of the time but I chalk it up to terps. Maybe we'll try one without freezing next harvest.....
on fresh frozen.. or just dried and run.. u are going to get a sugar wax.. or super sap.. in some cases u get other consistencys but in reality you extracting soo much more terpenes.. I wouldn't worry about the consistency as much as smell taste potency ..
I ran a batch the other day.. nug run.. not fresh.. but got a bunch of water in it when I clipped the waterbath.. I poured the water out.. and still ended up with a SHATTER. after the vac purge.. no problem. so im not understanding the entire moisture causing buddering and such. as ive gotten water in my extracts a many of times.. with 0 buddering .. lol

I like it! Direct, simple, and to the point!
Do I infer that the 6" is the OD of the outside sleeve?
I've always frozen before pulling vacuum, so as to not rupture any plant cells with the vacuum, but the ice ruptures them anyway, so it may not matter.
I've never extracted material directly off the plant without freezing it first, but I have extracted material that was frozen and by the time it was extracted, it was no longer, so the plant cells were pulp.
It produced a harsher extraction, with a light electric green hue.
It's a 6x36 with a 10" sleeve, they a beastly

Wowza! Yet another situation where being a big strong lad comes in handy!!
What'cha recovering into?

Glacier tanks sells those big sleeved columns now.
I would be extremely scared to vac down fresh buds that weren't frozen, but if it works, that's awesome.
GW, does the rupturing of cells under vacuum apply to dried material?
With dried material I usually pack and vacuum the column, then freeze to avoid the moisture pickup from the trapped atmosphere.
It works great with buds not frozen!! No issues with rupturing cells. In my opinion better results then freezing.
