Anyone have questions about cannabis extractions?

I'm a cannabis extraction professional that manages a production lab, teaches extraction on the side, and i'm here to kill time / answer your questions - anything and everything extracts.

Try posting in r/danknation, a lot of dab heads there.

Ooh I got a few questions!

1) Is there any benefit to using hexane vs butane?

2) what is the cheapest but most effective way of purging butane? In the past I used a brake bleeder to create a vacuum in a hot water bath with decent results but I'm wondering if there's a better method.

3) I've heard you can't fully purge all butane when extracting, however in medical states where they're sending extracts to be tested they're showing to be solvent free. I'm assuming they're still extracting with butane not pressing or anything. How is this done?

4) how can one ensure to keep as many terpenes in a finished product? Some extracts lack a lot in the terpenes I feel.

5) How long would you soak your product in butane before purging?

6) I've heard qwiso can produce a more refined product especially with an ethanol wash. Is this accurate?

Thanks for your time!

I've done an acetone extraction recently, would you be able to take a look at the pic I posted in r/Ausents and take a look, tell me how it looks? Can explain the steps I took in pm if that's easier.

How did you get into the industry?

If someone wanted to make their own, would you recommend squishing? or blasting? Why one over the other?

Are your products available through a vendor on a market? Just curious why you postsd in this sub, as opposed to some place like r/cannabisextracts or r/dailydabbers.

Are you in a rec state? What kind of advice would you give someone who wants to change career paths and get started in the cannabis extraction/processing industry?

What mistakes do most idiots make when learning themselves from YouTube. Edibles, tinctures, concentrates, and what advice/pro tips would you give. Whatever you focus on.

I have a question about your role in the lab. Hows being a lab manager in a cannabis extraction lab? What did it take for you to get in the industry and reach that role, how is your experience working there and how is the pay? I'm thinking of getting into the industry (Chem major). Thanks in advance!
