keif left in tube after blasting?

I save my trim after the first blast and usually rerun it once, yielding about 1/8 the original blast and of a lower quality. The issue is, I've noticed that even after this second blast there appears to be goodies left in my tube..... (see pics) anyone have any experience here with left over keif after running BHO? should I even try and get this stuff out I already ran this trim twice I'd think its beat but there also appears to be stuff in there.... thx! tube is 24" and around 1 1/4 I.D. I used 2 cans each time vector 5x

no need if you ran 2 cans already
the kief you see has already been extracted of the resin inside and now is basically a empty husk

Sorry, mah ancient eye pans are long past seeing any nuances in your photos.

As noted, examine with a >100X microscope for capitate heads. The stalks and discs will remain, after the resin in the heads is gone, looking like wet fur.

I just swish iso around in there to clean it.
Im lazy so I clean it out before I use it and put it away dirty.

What C face said if you are talking about washing oil off dirty glass........

She said the truth

Thats left over gland heads and stocks that are devoid of there goodness. If you iso wash it, you'll just have to filter them out again.

when ever i blast and push my stuff out i never have a dirty tube mine are spotless as if i did clean then with iso

I should have clarified.
I slosh iso in it then toss it.

Yup I clean all my tools & tubes with ISO to reclaim the good stuff stuck to it- I noticed the best pull is from the hose clamp I use on the end of my tube for the coffee filter- mine can get really encrusted with old BHO after awhile..think it's the weird lip on the end of my SS turkey baster that allows this- my glass extractor has a flared lip that prevents this but I still reclaim whatever I can from it after blasting

left over STALKS.. the heads are gone.. ok.. kief depending on quality.. ok.. so dry sift.. with 1 screen .. has the stalks and heads.. and plant matter.. the thing is.. to some people KIEF is just HEADS... to others.. kief is.. just a gold powder.. that consists of heads stalks and plant matter.. this is why.. u see people claiming they are getting 90% returns on bho.. and others getting 20-50%.. all kief isnt created equal.. with alot of the shit ive made.. ive noticed.. your best bet.. with KIEF.. is.. to do a Small NUG RUN.. breaking the 90% of the nugs up with a grinder.. then the mixing the kief in . with that.. packing it. the last 10% of nug.. pack FULL.. this helps filter any plant material... and then i use 3 unbleached coffee filters.. a stainless steal mesh screen .. and another coffee filter over the stainless .. and clamp it.. and spray.. ive noticed.. a much lighter product.. and sooooo stinky.. its great.. i thought at first.. o the more filters it might clog.. the thing with making bho is.. ur not just getting the trichome heads as a hole. you dissolve them so u cant clog your filter with keif.. the reason people have blow outs with it clogging.. isnt because of the screen its the kief itself.. it dissolves and creates EMPTY SPACE in you tube.. allowing for PRESSURE to be pushing the kief mud lol out like a potato gun.. instead of allowing the butane to pass threw the material.. .. thats why mixing with material is best.. and its best to do with nug.. if u wana do a straight kief run.. u wana do the soak method.. get your temps to were its not evaporating at all.. and soak.. and strain..

but i hope that helps u understand.. a Solvent dissolves the heads.. and a screen or bubble bags just collects them.. which .. a solvent doesnt create as stinky a product.. compared to a properly made dry sift ... the taste and smell are always reduced with a solvent .. but that doesnt mean u cannot make a nice tasty shatter or wax.. because u deff can.. but u get what you put in with a good drysift or bho.. so if ur just taking all your trim including fan leaves.. ur going to get a worse product then if u were only putting in crystally sugar trim.. or bud..

goodluck man.. bho is an art.. and only worth making with the right equipment. a vac and chamber.. and a heat source and laser thermometer .. a closed system is great for yield and saving butane.. but costs lots.. so its hard to get the investment cash ..

and if u take ur material out of the tube right after u blow it.. while its still like moist kinda.. and put on a plate to allow the butane to escape.. the tubes stay pretty clean.
