THERE IS SEVERAL REASONS BSHO ISNT A GOOD SOLVENT OF CHOICE WHEN IT COMES TO EXTRACTING ESSENTIAL COMPOUNDS OF INTEREST. FIRST, BUTANE IS DERIVED FROM CRUDE OIL. N-BUTANE DOESNT MEAN NASTY, IT MEANS NORMAL. ISOBUTANE IS MUCH CLEANER, BUT THERE IS REALLY NO PAYOUT USING SOMETHING CLEANER AS IT WONT YIELD MORE. IT SURE DOES COST ALOT MORE THAN N-BUTANE. SECOND IS RESIDUES IT LEAVES BEHIND. THERE ISNT A TRUE TOTAL EVAPORATION , BUT NOT AS CLEAN AS ISOBUTANE WHICH LEAVES LESS THAN N-BUTANE, THE RISKS FROM FIRES ISNT WORTH THE HAIR ON MY FACE, NOR IS THE OIL WORTH BURNING ANY HOUSE DOWN OR THREATENING ANY NEIGHBORS FOR SOMETHING THATS KNOWN FIRE HAZARDS. ASIDE FROM BEING DANGEROUS PROCEDURE, THE TANE IS SPIKED W MERCAPITANS, EHANOLIOL, OR EtSH, WHICH HAS WON SMELLIEST SUBSTANCE KNOWN TO MAN 2000 GUINESS BOOK. THERE IS MANY OTHER REASONS I DEEMED IT ONE OF THE LESSER FAVORITE SOLVENTS OF CHOICE AND YIELD HAS ITS TURN AT A RAG. I ONLY YIELDED FILM W BUTANE. ONE CAN MAY YIELD A DAB, BUT GOOD LUCK SCRAPING THE CONTAINER FOR THAT. THE NEXT IS COST. AT APPROXIMATELY 3-6 TIMES THE COST OF CO2, DOLLAR PER DOLLAR EXTRACTIONS EQUALIVANTS WILL SHOW HOW MUCH MORE THAN BUTANE IT YIELDS. IN FACT I TOLD A BUDDY OF MINE WHAT YOU DO W THE STUFF AFTER YOU EXTRACT W BUTANE, HE SAID TOSS IT. NOW HES GOING TO GIVE ME HIS EXHUASTED BUTANE MATRIX AND IM GOING TO SEE WHAT KIND OF YIELD I CAN GET BACK FROM THAT TRASH. LOSING PRETTY BAD, BSHO GETS SMACKED DOWN W TASTE. SPICEY THROAT AINT HAPPENING W CO2. IT DOESNT MAKE ME FIEND ANOTHER HIT EITHER, MORE SATISFYING DAB. THERE ARE OTHER REASONS I WILL ADD TO IT BUT HERE ARE SOME MORE IMPORTANT FACTORS ON WHY I SAY BUTANES NASTY BUT THATS THE JIST OF IT.
