Sorry if this is a lot but one would want to know fully the process's ins and outs before trying it. One has chosen Q21's Jim Jam party as the tek, One has read this tek over fifty times in the past month (one really enjoys chemistry) but still some questions remain on some of the finer things and questions that were not found answered anywhere on the nexus. One hypothetically owns tech grade d-limonene (95%), and Ms Wages Pickling Lime. Thanks ahead for all the help.
1.) Could one use Q21Q21's Jim Jam Party Tek on ACRB as it's written to do, as if one was using MHRB?
2.) Why do some people use xylene or naphtha instead of the food safe alternative d-limonene? One had no trouble locating and purchasing d-limonene for a reasonable price. Do some people find better yields or... what from using different solvents?
3.) Say one owns a 1000ml Sep. Funnel, is that even useful doing Q21's Jim Jam Party with ACRB? If it still can be used, at what step would it become useful?
4.) One has seen others discuss yields with Q21 tek with ACRB but they always use tek 2 (crystal tek); As one understands from reading the Q21 tek the yield of "jim jam" is higher than yield of crystal. (It states in the tek that extracting yields 1% up to 2% spice, but extracting to jim jam it states that yields over 2% are not unheard of). Question is, one hasn't seen enough people with topics about yields using Q21 Jim Jam party with ACRB, One has seen others say that they get 2% yield with ACRB (using tek2), if that's the case would one get even more doing the Jim Jam tek (tek1) with ACRB, Possibly 2.5%+?
5.) This one I think will likely go unanswered due to lack of information or testing but one was wondering out of curiosity what would happen if one were to put jim jam in a degassing oven in the same fashion that good hash oil producers use it to purge their product? One found hardly any resources relating to this, but one is getting an Across International degassing oven soon and wondered if it would be of any use to (one hopes) maybe make the Jim Jam less sticky, more like a crumble/honeycomb hash oil consistency. Just curious, not particularly sure how or if it would work.
6.) A question about the pulls, does it matter if one does an immediate pull once one gets to that step and then do pulls at 24hr, then 48hr, then 72hr, etc? Or is it better for yield to wait, then do one's first pull at 24hrs, then 48hrs, then 72hrs, etc? Just a bit lost on the timing of pulls and needed a little bit of clarification.
7.) This is a pretty lame question, sorry if it isn't obvious, but when doing a pull, one keeps the solvent, not the mush, and do all future steps to the solvent, what does one do with mush? Discard after the final pull?
8.) Clarification on Salting: The bottom layer (vinegar) is the liquid that one does need to continue on with right? The solvent layer on top is the useless one after that step? Just a bit confused.
All the help is appreciated!
