BHO with Vacuum oil/wax tutorial

look at the frost on that dish.... impressive! haha

do you ever submerge your extractor into the butane in the bottom? when I was very first taught, I was taught to press it right onto the dish bottom... eventually it was submerged and it just bubbled.

now, I hold it a few inches above the dish and it sprays everywhere, theres fumes, theres oil spec all over the walls of the dish, right up to the top and im sure some that are missing the dish and going everywhere, wasting oil.

so, I am thinking of going back to my old way and just keeping the extractor pressed on the bottom of the dish. what do you guys think of that. I dont think it would work so good with your set ups.
 
We don't submerge column extractors in the pool and are unlikely to start. If you blanked the flow completely, you might retain liquid longer, but at the expense of messy and we get good extraction percentages without doing so.
 
yeah I think with your style tubes its nuts to submerge it. id imagine with your guys filter at the bottom that you dont build up much pressure anyways? with mine, it builds up pressure and sprays out the bottom leaving a fine mist EVERYWHERE even a foot higher than the dish goes... wasting a few hoots of oil into the air.
 
Lol...

I noticed the same bro, even when I transitioned from rubber-bands, and leaving a lot of excess coffee filter.

To using a SS hose-clamp, and trimming my filters perfectly...filters are taught, around the flare...and still...

Fucking mists oil EVERYWHERE...lol...damn it..
 
the bottom of my tube is about 1-3 inches above the pool of oil.. would be messy/wasteful to submerge it. i fold my coffee filters nicely, along with stainless steel hose clamp to get a nice seal..

..broke the tube again though :[ she getting shorter and shorter.

got an idea this time. im going to weigh my entire rig with alcohol filled oil. boil off alcohol.. and just monitor the weight the entire time.. once i see it balance off. i'll then know its ready for da vac :]
 
dont think your scale will be accurate enough unless it is one hell of an expensive one. and with that much weight on the scale, its going to be even more inaccurate id say when its upper end. would be interesting to see I guess.

romulan wax winterized below zero for just under 36 hours, filtered in the freezer, then let it evaporate off outside of the freezer, scrape and vac purged at 110.
2.2 went in 1.7 came out.

This stuff has a little less flavor then the original wax, but is more potent and the bite after you exhale is not present.

oh yeeeaaa. winterizerr. why did you winter such a small amount?
 
Hey everybody. Slow at work and finally feeling like checking-in.
Have some TrainWreck extract to post pics of sometime soon.
Also, just got asked to make some oil for a grower here. He said about 120gs trim. First time being asked so I'm def excited to make some impressive extract!
Well back to work...

TrainWreck winterized BHO. I said it was 18.5g input but i was looking at the wrong notes and it was actually 20.1 input with 2.4gram yield in the end....before i was to anxious and started dabbing away at it lol
In the last picture you can see that it just started to wax up a bit but only on the under-side...the top was actually all glassy until i messed with it and shattered it up for the picture.
The middle 4 pictures are kinda in the middle of purging it out. Flattened it out with a rolling pin then vacuumed to 24inHg and let it sit at room temp(68F that day) for about 8 hrs then took the pictures. Plenty of craters, but plenty of really tiny bubbles trapped. It then sat under the same vac for another 8hrs or so while on my warming pad around 90F.
Not the most impressive final pics but it's aroma and taste def complement what it came from.



IMG_20130607_202841_971.jpg47.5 grams of chocolope runts
Pint-n-1/2 jars, nug up to the 500ml marks in the picture, later I packed to 300ml. 50/50 weight distribution. Everything sat in my freezer for a couple days before performing an Everclear soak. I was curious was kind of results i would get if I washed one jar and just strained into the second one; basically double soaking the Everclear. In my mind, even if i come close to the same yield i would from washing all would-be 600ml at once I'm happy, because i just used half the amount of solvent.
IMG_20130611_180243_280.jpgThe Choco double-QWEt as is now. About to head out and grab that trim I'm extracting for someone, but when i'm back i'll be filtering this QWEt once more and evaping.
 
yes! thats what I was thinking at work today...

what if you took a lb. and washed it 1 oz at a time with half a liter or so in a large column like guzias'. THEN took that golden liquid, and used it to wash the 2nd oz.. so on.

at the end, you would have washed 16 ozs with about .5-1L of everclear. how would it turn out?



are you going to winterize it?
 
Well i did through it in the freezer overnight ya...but i believe because the extracting is being done with ethanol in the first place it doesn't really extract as much fats and waxes as butane does.
I saw a little bit of stuff settle out but not nearly what i see after a butane soak.

As for the multi-wash tek...i have no results yet but about to filter and evap. I wouldn't use a column, i would use a jar so you can keep it in the freezer during the wash. I washed the choco for a little over 5min each jar, while swirling it around every min or so. Didn't get any green hue so yay! Alcohol extractions are more sensitive/easier to screw up than butane...IMO.

If this double wash works well I'm def going to try a triple and keep going until the ethanol hopefully reaches it's max saturation. Extracting as much oil with as little everclear...i still plan on performing butane soaks with the aftermath to collect nearly all of the remaining oil. Someday i will do a secondary ethanol soak and a water rinse like described on the SkunkPharm site.

IMG_20130611_200519_664.jpgThis is what my buddy gave me, i don't know the exact weight but i thought it said about 6oz. The bottom half of the jar looks to be some Blueberry Kush and the top some no name but it's super fruity. Been sitting in the jar for a few months. Said he has three more jars full sooooooo if i'm up to it....i said anytime :)

Time for dinner
