Essentially yes, you can do this. People I talk with have actually made extraction tubes with valves to trap the liquid butane in for maximum exposure time, however... compared to a quick run of butane the quality will be significantly less. Plus there's really no reason to keep stripping away what's already been extracted. Butane is a ridiculously strong solvent... one run and 99% of all the good shit is gone. I've done second runs of already ran buds, and maybe got 0.5 out of a half ounce...Luv the ss turkey baster as a better alternative to pvc.
I wonder how much the potency of the oil would change if you could devise a diy way to keep the butane going back and forth from a liquid to gaseous state refluxing through the plant matter. Does the turkey baster fit through the opening of a liter of coke? If you could get a fairly good seal with the turkey baster through the mouth of a plastic coke bottle cut to make a funnel and fill that with a mix of ice and a bit of isopropyl alcohol, you'd have a ghetto refluxer.
Some people like to build a contained extraction tube with valves to hold the butane in and let it sit in the plant material for a long time to maximize extraction but this is unnecessary. An open ended tube where the butane can flow through and drip into a collection dish is the easiest to build and makes much better oil. Allowing the butane to sit in the plant material will make your oil greener.
Bed Bath & Beyond holmes!Woah sweet vid, whered you get the tube?
Maybe it extracts a different fraction. I wonder if it would be more active in some medibles, it makes sense that it would. The first quick fraction for THC and the second more lengthy one to extract additional beneficial cannabinoids that are primarily active through digestion.Essentially yes, you can do this.

The $100 extractor tube made from NASA materials? Didn't fuck up buying it because it's sweet, but you could of made one with a trip to bed bath & beyond and home depotSo...are you saying I fkt up buyin this????
A lot of guys have made their own stands as well. Some even welded 4 of the basters together with a stand to make multi-runs that look pretty sweet. I'd try the screen out once, and if there was no plant matter or anything in my oil, I'd stick with it until it gets completely gummed up.I just like the stand....was the selling point for me....but a $10 turkey baster would of been alot cheaper!!.....If this was yours....would you use the 100micron screen that comes with it or would you still use coffee filters....and what brand coffefilters are you using on the baster....I know the brown ones are the best....just which one
Im going to give the vacumm a try.....HI have a vacumm pump already in my shop for my bikes.............so save there.....oh and his picture not showing up for me so didnt see it LOL....fuck stoned on my ass so I probley just bliped past it........I was googling differat sites and I Like the looks of this tube.......think Ill go ahead and order then..........thanks............will keep you posted how it goes.......my BHO journal......lolHahahaha you posted exactly the same picture as the guy above me; ENDCYCLE
I hear those extractor tubes are great so I don't see why not order it if you're too lazy to make one
You gonna try and vacuum purge like my tek or go with the original double boil or heat plate purge?
Hahaha right on!LOL trust me I will be yelling hahah......Im pretty pumped up about doing this.......cant wait.
I'd recommend doing the vape bud first, just to get the gist of things when it comes to what to do and how long to do it. Rather accidentally ruin shit bud than ruining bomb nugs, ya know?Im going to use my good bud...Purple haze on firs run then Im going to do a run on my vaped bud and do a comparison test and just see how much is left in the vaped.........I know i can compust vaped weed in my steam roller and get high again....about 2 full bowls versus a 1/4 bowl of good bud in the steam roller.
EDIT: speaking for myself that is........everyone gets higher or not as high on differant amounts.....Id say Im avg with everyon on how high I get on amont of bud it takes.
Good shit man! Should post a pic.So you inspired med today to make BHO. Ususally I make ISO and its only ok. I made it from 10g of good chron bottom nugs. Ran 2 cans of vector and ended up with just about 1.5 grams. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I was expecting a really gooey oil, instead it is more like a really sticky earwax or taffy. Its really good, was pretty easy.
