nut butter - Vitamix, Cuisinart, etc

Question

Usually I make nut butters in the Cuisinart for ease of clean up.  However, recently I used my Vitamix and there is no turning back to the Cuisinart now.  With the food processor, I would use about 2 cups of nuts.  I read somewhere that the Vitamix needs at least 4 cups of nuts to grind easily.  What amounts of nuts do you use in the Vitamix?

Thanks for the welcome back, Stephanie!  I do not use the dry container for nut butters.  Just use that for grains and spices.  Also use it for sun dried tomatoes to make and for peppers I grow and have dehydrated.  :)

Also have a Vitamix and love it!  You can use any amount of nuts, there is no minimum or maximum.   I usually use 2 cups of nuts, which makes 4 cups of butter.
