I think using buds has a lot to do with it too. I have had some strains yield me 12.7 before, that was depressing. lol

You got to whip and have the correct heat to evap the butane. Whip it.....whip it good

Once you are finished purging and most of the butane has evaporated and your oil starts to bubble, thats when I start whipping.

You can see where I whipped most cause it starts to turn milky creamy looking.

Then I scrape it all into a pile and continue to whip it out

More whipping...lol
View attachment 2868909

Its almost all creamy here, I scrape it all together again in a pile and continue to whip.

Once I see its all creamy looking and not like glass, I stop whipping and let it sit in water that is approximately 100F-120F, like a double boil setup, if that makes sense. I do that to really purge out any butane that may be trapped.

Its a bitch if you have weak shoulders! Its also a lot of whipping.

You can take the glass looking stuff you have and can winterize it to a pure form but will lose your terpenes! I am going to run some wiinterized BHO too.
Thanks for this info.
I have never made BHO mostly for the reason that some of the butane is pretty nasty stuff if you do not get rid of it all.
I am in the process of setting up a vacuum chamber right now. I will build my own no problem.Looking for the half inch plexiglass right now.
For a blast tube im going to use a stainless steel pipe with a end cap on each end.a valve inserted into one end and a check valve in the other to put your can into that way the pressure is trapped inside of the pipe.If i make a long tibe i will probably want a piece of stainless brake line going through the center crimped at the end with small holes drilled through the sides of the stainless brake line to distribute the butane evenly though the material.
What i was thinking was this.With the butane contained within the tube and it cannot go anywhere.If you were to put the end of the tube into heated water the butane would create pressure forcing it back up through the material with pressure away from the heat to the colder source.You could then put the butane into colder water and that would draw the butane to it forcing the butane back and forth in the material making for allot better extraction with less waste of butane.
What do you think?

Thanks for taking the time.

I can try this the next time.

One other thing, and this is just to get a feel for it I am
in the ball park....

How much do you use, weight wise, and how many cans
for that amount?

(regardless of the amount you use, I want to gauge how
much Butane you think it takes....)

I have blasted twice, and got good product, but wonder
how much I wasted, bud or butane.

Thanks again for the time!

P.S. I have a laser thermometer and should be able to jury-rig
a heating system in any desired range. What is this temp?

Yadda yadda yadda....and wouldn't a water bath make for
condensation issues.... I am googling up some data. Sorry
to run on so. Take care.

I dont see a distribution tube in any of the photos, only a long pushrod to get the shit out once its ran.
For some reason i thought the smaller tube was for insertion into the center of the mix to blow butane through the center of the material.
Probably because it makes some sort of logical sense to me for the longer tubes i just assumed someone made a butane distribution tube for the center of the pipe to completely saturate the material with the butane.

I would rather spend $20 on a glass extraction tube. I dont know anything about that set up and its too expensive if you ask me. I have seen those real expensive extraction units which cost a shit load of money. Sometimes keeping it simple works best, well at least for me it does. If you do go with something like that, please feel free and post updates here, I would really enjoy seeing it in action.

@cba420, thanks for the very kind words, I appreciate that!

@JD I usually pack my 12" smaller tube and run at least 2 cans through it, if I see more color coming out at the end of the 2nd can, I will use another can but only half, I never used 3 full cans on my 12" tube. You have a DIY lazer temp??? Fucking awesome, share please, I use a candy thermometer.

I hope the weather gets warmer outside so I can start blasting today!

Peace

He's got a laser temp but can diy a hot plate, me thinks.
I think your correct whodat, although I got giddy when I saw DIY and Lazer temp. I would love to see a DIY lazer temp dohickee!!! Today I smoked after 2 days of smoke free from being sick. I also see the sun coming out so I am going to start boiling up some water now and prepare BHO making. Maybe I should do like a live web cam of me making bho....

Peace

I'd watch :-) and smoke, and talk to you lol
Here is the problem I have, I can make some kick ass BHO but I dont know shit about computers, I dont know how to set up a live web cam, any help would be grateful and once I get that set up then I will do the live web cam. I am setting up right now for a BHO run so if you can point me in the right direction to do a web cam I am in. I know I can do it with my cpu cause there is a camera thingy on top of my laptop

You can use Justin.tv or ustream.

Oh Fuck I mis-spoke....I am sure that I got my laser thermometer at
Harborside Freight, or some such.

I can also figure out a hot plate...I may buy one with the needed temp
ranges. (150-250F ought to do, yes?)

I have several pounds of junk to work with. I am going to use the lower
grade material with either bubble or CO2 in the bags.

Thanks again, and all apologies for the confusion.

Its going to take me a second to find everything im looking for and get it together.Ive got most of it together right now but a few things.one of them being a injection tube and a vacuum chamber.
It looks like it would be a bitch making wax right off of the bat so i would like to know a little more about making shatter.
Is there specific temps and process to make shatter any information would be great .

If ya want to do shatter go with the winterizing BHO. Its cleaner than vac purging. The bad part about winterizing is you do lose terpenes which gives your bud taste and smell.
This should help you out! I tried it and it works and is pretty good smoke with no flavors! Smooth as a baby's ass when smoking it though!

I wonder if you could collect the fractions off of the evaporating alcohol vapors and collect some terpene liquor? :)

Sounds like something to try, kind of like Green Dragon??? I am positive terpenes are sitting in them filters cause there is no flavor from absolute shatter. I know BC99 fucks with that Green Dragon stuff or whatever its called. I remember him making some and I did a little eye drops worth and it had me lite!

If you do some research I am sure there is a way...

LOL...how the little girl, isolated by that commotion, managed
to finish the routine was amazing. It really might have disintegrated.

Funny stuff.
