Nom nom!!!!
Were you losing any pressure out of the top of your extractor? Was there any butane escaping out of anywhere except what was going into your dish? How much trim actually went into the tube? You should only need 1 can of tane per OZ of plant material.Hi Guys
So i made my own extractor from a pvc tube (it's not PVC but PP). Put coffee filter on one end and a lid and hole in other end. Stuffed the tube with great trim and ran 3 bottles of gas through. After that i got only about 1/10 of a gram of budder. Looked at the trim after it dried and it is still pretty well covered in trichomes.
Any idea what i do wrong since i don't get the trichomes to dissolve and run through into my candy bowl?
With only coffee filters in one end how can pressure build up? - but tane went all way through. About 15-20 gr. But no butane escaped anywhere else but through the bottom filterWere you losing any pressure out of the top of your extractor?

Packing is probably my worst sinner here. I will try to pack it more. These times i did not pack at all - just let it fell into the pipe and shake a little to make it fit.you have to have it packed just right.
too packed and the butane won't pass thru. not packed enough and it doesn't pass thru slow enough.

Oh! - that fine? Is there any connection to how fine the trim is and how oily the BHO will be (i love to make it into that white yellow budder i know the "not crushed" jack herer gives.) Will that budder become just as nice if i crush the bud a lot?i crush my trim. then i dump it in the tube a little at a time while i gently tap the bottom of the tube on the floor. very gently though. it's easy to over pack it when your trim is crushed.
I think consistency/color comes from the strain. Some strains dont "budder up".Oh! - that fine?

Ah okay - thought grinding it up might expose more other stuff/oils to the butane or something.I think consistency/color comes from the strain. Some strains dont "budder up".

I know what you mean...I harvested some ladies last night so I got a bunch of trim drying, as soon as my Okeif gets here its on!! Its funny, now that I know about oil my trim piles ends up being more than my nicely manicured bud pile haha whoops. More oil for me
It will expose more surface area, which is great. But be careful with your grinding..... Too much can be bad... If you pulverize your material into a powder, and then pack a tube with powder, and try to spray butane into it.... you will not get very far. Imagine dust getting wet, and turning into MUD. Same thing will happen with the herb.Ah okay - thought grinding it up might expose more other stuff/oils to the butane or something.
You gotta turn your posts per page up in your settings, makes going through alot easier. I only see 8 pages in this thread.Damn i've been slackin hard. Spending time with the girl and working has me tapped for time haha. Gonna blaze thru the 20 pages ive missed here and ill throw up a video tonight or tomorrow.
Again, Great thread verde.
Don't know, but my outdoor strain Durban grown indoor gives an amber colored oil that is very fat and oily in the smoke.Brilliant addition to the conversation. +rep (edit: gotta spread more around)
Very good contrast.
I never know 100% where my herb is coming from, most of the time.. So I cant say with 100% certainty, but I also find my 'outdoor' strains to produce a darker oil, than my 'indoor strains'.... Indica / Sativa also comes into play for the color, I find.
