Having done around 40 100g extractions using cybs max ion tek, I am very familiar with simple a/b extractions. I wanted to try Thicklight's tek on 500g to save some time and effort. Everything in the tek looks great but in the instructions it says to do 6-10 pulls with 600ml nps each time. As 1g can be dissolved in 50ml of naphtha and I typically only use 60-70 ml per pull on a 100g extraction, 600 ml pulls seem pretty excessive to me. I would imagine that using 150 ml of naphtha per pull would be more practical. Does anyone have any experience with this tek or doing 500 g to 1 kg extractions? Feedback is greatly appreciated.

It has been my experience that proportion matters most. I have also only worked with mimosa however I can only imagine that less solvent would simply collect less product. I can't see a reason it would ruin your entire process but I am not a trained chemist.

I only comment because my first extrac ever was on about 100g of bark and after the disaster of messing up my scale with a bunch of fine powder I switched to a rough estimate of the weight of one good scoop and all previous attempts have been made with an estimated 100-300g without significant issue. I have also found that less solvent and longer soaks leads to much better yields, or the same yield but in less pulls.
