ive ran buds before. maybe the bud wasnt the best but it was horrible result. the butane came out the other end white still. I wasnt impressed. i will never do that again.
I just chop the bud up, finer than you would for a joint. throw it in the tube and blast it... it comes out so fuckin golden its crazy.
the furthest I would go it running the bud and shake in 2 seperate batches.. only because its 2 different kinds and im sure they would yeild 2 different kinds. otherwise if it was the kush buds that my 100g of kush shake is from, I would just grind the bud, grind the shake, combine it all in one big pile and start filling the extractor.
and when I say shake, I mean bottom of my freezer bags of bud.
looks like this when chopped.
that stuff might have been chopped a little too much. I shake the extractor after every can of half can (lets see you do that with your glass ones
) and it definitely doesnt clump up and not rinse... ive tried second rinses. its a waste of butane. 6$ in butane doesnt even yield 6$ back in oil on my 2nd rinses. also, I noticed on a 100g second rinse I pulled around 1 gram. its not the best.. and I notice it wont freeze when put in the freezer so I can get it off the parchment paper like all the other oils have!
twitch: I didnt say I would have 100 grams of oil, I said 100 grams of weed. I am going to have 20 grams of oil and a 3 gallon chamber.... ive seen on youtube (knotty) has done 100 gram oil runs in his 3 gallon vac-it pro with no problems. it required 1 lb of weed for him to get 100 grams... then he vac purged. it was 1 big cookie like you guys got the size of a small dinner plate. its what got me interested in vac purging and its why I signed up on this site.
