BHO with Vacuum oil/wax tutorial

I've never actually held someones good honeycomb in my hands so it's hard for me to guess what the consistency/texture of it should be. The look of it should be obvious but the texture I'm not sure. So those pics were taken a couple hours ago and since then the oil has gotten a lot firmer by the looks of it in the chamber but the last time I checked on it I fucked up and left the valve open when I turned the vac back on after checking it with the temp gun. So I closed the valve and turned the vac back on full and the oil did a weird thing. It was almost like the top more moist layer of bubbles pulled away from the rest of the mass and then just kind of "froze" there with large firm un popped bubbles. I thought it looked fucked so I took a couple pics of it before I put it back in the chamber. I'll post those up in a minute. But when I took it out to take the picture and I touched one of those "froze" in place bubbles it cracked like glass. WTF? is this like a shatter/honeycomb state? I don't know. I have nothing proper to compare it to; only internet pics right now..

I posted a vid a little bit ago about how much heat stable comb can take, took 200F to melt it...u want your oil to become melty under vac so it can "boil", raise ur temp until the oil starts to boil under full vac again, that patty should comb in a couple hours..

bcogyodaaa, good work, keep trying, i never did till i made it myself! just youtube knowledge till i made it :]
no time to really help right now. see ya :]
Ya this oil is very very sensitive to heat changes. If to low it just sits there with expanded bubbles but no movement. If just right temp the bubbles slowly move, pop, then form again. But as soon as a tiny bit too much heat then bam right back to a warm puddle of melty oil with no bubbles or movement again.
Last night before I went to bed I set the griddle to be holding around 125f. The oil was around 85-90. Knowing that the oil will creep up in temp I thought that would be a roughly good temp to leave it over night with the vac on full, valves closed off and the vac machine off. I wasn't sure if the chamber would hold the full vac with the valves closed for that long. But thought I would try it cause I didn't want the machine going in the garage all night again. So it did. It held the full vac. I woke up this morning and the chamber was at full vac and the oil had a lot of expanded bubbles on it but it wasn't moving much. I took a picture that I'll post in a few minutes. I turned the heat up a bit to see if it will make it move more so the bubbles will start popping again.

Am I on the right road to wax/honeycomb? I think a lot of those guys on Youtube making honeycomb are whipping their oil before vac purging so the consistency/texture looks more solid like as it waxes. Is that a correct assumption? Mine looks like it is going to get more crackly/glassy but not sure yet.
I hate having to go out while it's in the vac chamber. I picture coming back to a melted solid mass of oil every time I leave it un-attended.

The pics on my post #1389 it seemed to me like it was trying to wax up there. And the temp of the wax was only 79F. I raised the the temp this morning and as soon as the was gets over 86F it just gets melty and stops trying to dry out. I tried the higher temps 100, 120, 130, 140 and the warmer it gets the more liquid it gets and no bubbles at all form.
I watched some of the makers on youtube making some of the stuff that looked really good and their heat guns on the was was in the 80's.
Brett Maverick sets his vac ovens only in the very low 100's like 100 to 109 from what I've seen. But I have read quite a few guys saying 70-80F for the actual oil itself (not the griddle or vac chamber) is where they sloooooooowly wax their stuff. It seems to be true for this OG oil. I think the strain makes a big difference in where the oil will dry/wax up.

LOL ya right
. Yes of course legal. No if someone new of a dispensary selling good comb, etc. around this area. My friend makes budder but doesn't use a vac chamber. He just low heat purges, whips, then lets dry and it looks good and is crumbly etc. but I'm pretty positive his stuff has a lot of tane left in it. I'm trying to make some good quality purged stuff. Look forward to winterizing if I can get the honeycombing thing figured out well.

hhaa, give him a break. i prettyyy sure(some) the stuff that ive whipped up is the best stuff ive ever laid eyes on(and i never knew much about it before i started this)... i never hit up clubs though.. so i dunno what they bangin
Lol, no not kidding. No one I know makes it. I've been doing flowers for 20 years, and bubble for a couple years but bho isn't big around my group of friends at all. Recently I was asked if I could make some bho for the people I make bubble for so that's why I started messing with it. Personally I love good bubble. I love the flavor and smell, and high from it.
