At the risk of attracting the attention of federal government i want to pass what i have learned from watching my boyfriend.
So, I'll just get this out of the way.
I am not responsible for what you do at your house, all activity is not instructional, but for experimentation and educational speculation. All events legal under Prop 215(California Health and Safety Code 11362.5); and SB 420 (Cal HS 11362.7).
In the beginning our methods were crude. we used a sharpie and shitty kings butane. we found however, that if you use good nugs like venom OG the wax comes out white, literally, like cocaine. lol.
People will argue that the butane quality is everything, and to some extent, I can see that, but really, if you use nugs instead of trim, you will produce better stuff. and more wax to plant material ratio.
We've used everything from PVC to glass to metal tubes, and found that thick extraction tubes are the best. And i have read somewhere and using anything other than lab grade glass you will get sick. the butane will actually eat away at the PVC or metal depending on what kind of alloy it is, and if it has a protective coating or not. We have even used monster cans, and have produced some amazing crumble! yummy~~~
We use a tipless extraction glass tube, and it's a small one, I have been told that if you have a smaller tube, you will make more wax. I'm not sure if that's really true or not, seeing as how some of us use homemade tubes to blow our wax.
Ice extraction is clean and great, but it takes forever, so butane has been a favorite for all of us.
We have weighed the pros and cons of doing CO2 but seeing as how expensive the rig is, we decided against it.
Pyrex is a no brainer, a team of two or three people is best. blowing out doors is also a no brainer, we use a airplane hanger by where I live, a friend of mine is a Cessna pilot and he has a parking space for his plane. so it's perfect. it's huge and ventilated.
packing the material too tight into the tube proves counterproductive, as it takes more gas to pull the thc out fo the plant material.
we always purge with heat as we are blowing into the pan. i have seen people blow wax into a cold pyrex dish and i think it's a waste of time.
now, from the cops point of view, (my uncle is a cop) i can see how this shit can cause some problems. people are messing with highly explosive gaseous fuel and blowing themselves up. a lot of these cops were ex marines or army vets and they come back home from the middle east or whatever god forsaken war ridden country and find us beating our wives, driving drunk, and killing ourselves whilst making drugs because apparently weed wasn't good enough.
see?
anyways.
always blow outside, never do it inside, you will regret it. I have many friends who have blown off their eye brows and it looks hilarious. But they were lucky!
YOU CAN DIE FROM THIS.
ok.
I think the purging process, as it was explained to me, is 50 percent, much like that curing process of wet buds, right?
we use a double boiler over the stove when the wax has stopped moving with the big bubbles, (small bubbles are fine, but make sure you pop them)
20 minutes to 4 hours depending on what you want.
higher heat will make shatter, lower heat, and longer cooking times will produce crumble, from our experience.
everyone has their own methods and depending on your altitude and weather location your results will be different.
happy dabbing!
