How much do you know about the extraction?

I'm guessing it uses supercritical CO2, so temps above 31.1 ºC and pressures above 72.9 atm. Same process they use for decaffeinated coffee, etc.

Everything I've seen is fairly small (batch size) tedious to fill/clean, and slow. It should be doable under supercritical levels, and in faster cycles that are easier to run. It's a tenuous industry ATM with differing laws between states, and the Feds still lingering.

Missed this before. You know if they'll fill a 10# tank? I think I'm getting close to needing a fill.


I don't know. I went by Way To Grow on Sinton, just off I-25. They told me they don't handle 5's but I didn't ask about 10's. Give them a call.

I called several grow shops last year when I only had a 10# and needed gas on a Sunday, around here it was a big nope, and the brewshops only swap 5s and 20s.  So on Monday i traded my 10# up to a 20# for about $35 plus fill of $17.75, now with the 20# I have more swap options.
