    whats wrong with using acetone?

    thanks for the info. i checked out the ending like you say and i guess in my experience maybe the dehydrator removes this unpleasant smell/taste that the last poster was referring to. my end product tastes and smells just like what i started with and i've used trim, shake and high quality buds...

    Hash and Oil Picture Thread

    My first run using hexane. 20 hr vac purge @ 150F. Hard but flexible at the same time. Melts immediately upon contact with any type of heat. Even warm hands can make it gooey. sort of snappy too.

    Vacuum Purging Times? 10 min? 20 min? 1 hour??

    Finally, after almost 20 hrs of vac purge testing diff temps the hexane hash oil is finally clean enough to dab. still can't post pics? not sure why. maybe cuz rollitup.org hates mozilla firefox? eh? anyway, here's some links to pics i took during and after...

    Vacuum Purging Times? 10 min? 20 min? 1 hour??

    thanks guys for sharing all of your critical experience and input using vacuum purge techniques. I just don't want anything to explode and I think you guys haven't had any bad experiences like that (based on your posts and following reasonable common sense). hopefully my vac purge will go well...

    Vacuum Purging Times? 10 min? 20 min? 1 hour??

    so it seems like 2 things are needed: #1) low consistent heat (100F for shatter) and... #2) multiple vacuum runs (like more than 5+) just one thing that concerns me though is this: would leaving my vacuum on for this long without releasing the pressure cause an explosion? thanks again guys.

    Vacuum Purging Times? 10 min? 20 min? 1 hour??

    Awesomeness!! hopefully this'll be my last question? here goes... Final Question (Maybe): Do you continuously vacuum during this half hour process? or just build up the pressure in the container and have the pressure held there without releasing any air for half an hour? Or do you get it to...

    Vacuum Purging Times? 10 min? 20 min? 1 hour??

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INPUT. THIS HAS CLEARED ALOT OF POTENTIAL MISHAPS THAT I MAY HAVE ENCOUNTERED OTHERWISE. couple of questions tho? just want to make sure I do it right the first time. #1 Would I turn my vac motor off at this point? and should I release the pressure valve before...

    Vacuum Purging Times? 10 min? 20 min? 1 hour??

    Hi guys- I bought a 3CFM Single Stage pump with a Vacuum chamber and all but can't find any info on how to's, timing or exact procedures. After reading and googling for an hour to find some instructions I wasn't able to get any DETAILED instructions that sounded like they work. Some people say...

    Butane Explosions: Can It Happen Outside?

    sweet advice guys. i may try this but though i might i will still be weary until i complete a run. honestly though the thought of making wax every 2 weeks makes me wonder if its just a matter of time before i miss a small detail and explode myself (i consider myself smart but stupid at the same...

    Butane Explosions: Can It Happen Outside?

    hi guys, i'm still experimenting with solvents and concentrates and i know that butane is probably the king of all extraction methods being that it's affordable and easy to do. however, it's also easy to cause explosions or fire hazards as well when using butane. so my question is, if i...

    top 3 solvents excluding butane and why

    awesome content on here since i last posted. good to see people are willing to share their solvent experiences esp ones i've never heard of or seen before (eg: limonene, n-pentane). to be on the safe side (or maybe more popular one) i think i'll use n-hexane next since it seems to be used in...

    top 3 solvents excluding butane and why

    i went to skunkpharm and saw the process for hexane. but i had 2 questions i couldn't find the answer to on the info page. the first one is: 1.) How long do you wash or shake the buds in hexane for, is it really hours? and 2.) Is it possible to make a pliable extract that can be easily handled...

    top 3 solvents excluding butane and why

    hmm, so when you say n-heptane would produce similar results, did you mean similar to n-hexane results? or isoprophyl results? i know you mentioned its similar to isoprophyl in regards to boiling point but i just wanted to double check. also, what would you say is the likelihood of producing a...

    top 3 solvents excluding butane and why

    so i'm thinking of using naptha for my next run, but do you think n-heptane would produce similar or better results in comparison? i heard hexane takes a while to evaporate, more difficult to purge and just takes longer altogether? i just want something golden and delicious.

    Hey guys, I'm an novice at this concentrate making thing but have done months of research and recently was motivated enough to want to try it out while ending up with decent results. I ended up with some glass/shatter/candy texture product that melted into a pool instantly when heated. I'd...
