Yep I sure do. That's what normally happens 2g from two pulls 100g MHRB 50ml solvent each pull. After that just a bit of red inactive waxy oil comes out. MHRB (or MTFB to be botanically correct) is fully depleted of goodies.Never underestimate what a magnetic stirrer can do for an extraction.I normally use the max ion salt tek modified for a stirrer.Was going to try and just swap out the naphtha for limonene but I changed to many parameters to be scientific and used to much MHRB so could not stir. Had to decant some into a separate vessel. Now it seems to be taking a hundred million pulls to get my goodies out with limonene. Each pull seems a fairly consistent amount which leads me to believe that either the limonene is not holding much or my technique of salting is rubbish (20ml vinegar per 50ml pull left overnight after agitation) and leaving spice in the limonene.That is why I wanted solubility data. If someone had got back and said that 1g will easily dissolve in 20ml then I would say my salting is rubbish. If the answer had been say 500mg in 100ml then I would know that the limonene is causing a bottleneck in the process.I have noticed that a lot of the teks written up for limonene are dry treks and all seem to use large (for me) pulls. This would suggest that spice is not massively soluble in limonene. I try to get the base and pulls done quickly as I have kids and although it is tucked right out of the way I don't like having a potentially harmful soup around the place for any longer than I need to. Many pulls over a few weeks is not good for me not compared to 45 mins with the basic soup and then finished.limonene does seem a lot less toxic than naphtha so I would rather work with it.I assumed that someone would know roughly what limonene can hold and that it would be useful information to have available on the nexus.
