i have no arguement of budder vs shatter... whatever floats your boat.

simply stating that either or, Still has hard locked contaminates from butane refills.
if you want to "believe" otherwise, go for it.
It CAN be bought without mercs but you gotta have the license to buy it.

I'm staring at VOC test results that say that's not necessarily true.

Mercaptan is non-toxic, and a naturally occurring chemical in things we see and eat everyday. Mercaptan is less corrosive and less toxic than similar sulfur compounds found naturally in rotten eggs, onions, garlic, skunks, and, of course, bad breath. Your bad breath has more toxic mercaptans then my BHO. Mercaptans may be present in certain MJ strains also(see: SKUNK). The refining process for the butane is to remove the waxes. They may not be able to remove it all, The common name for Oleaginous Waxes from petroleum, is Paraffin, which is non-toxic enough to have no known LD-50 data and be used to seal jelly jars, so they are of low concern when extracting. If you are worried about the parafin wax you can winterize and filter out the waxes with pure ethanol (NOT ISO). ISO is toxic, so I would not go around touting ISO as safer than BHO, unless your using pure lab grade ethanol.

Mercaptan is also in our blood and evaporates at 43 degrees. Unless you're making wax in an igloo I wouldn't worry about it too much.

This is made from 3oz of super frosty trim.. we just chucked the fan leaves, or cut off the parts without resin on the larger leaves.. This was leaving dust piles of trichomes on the parchment when packing, always a good sign.


Been curing 4.5 weeks now, perfect as far as trich degradation is concerned, I think :dunce:.

Right now most of the visible butane has evaporated.. The pan is just sitting outside in luke warm water, with the warm 84f air outside, getting as much as I can off in the air before this thing goes in the vacuum. I'm keeping the temps down too, in an attempt to preserve the beautiful colors a little more :-P.

So i'm going along here, process going good.. 1 vacuum purge down.. my friggn oil kept puffing up HUGE so I had to keep turning the vacuum off... I come back for the 2nd purge and the vacuum pump won't turn on!!

I got a 2 year warranty for the pump, but now I have to drive across town on no sleep in 2 hours, and then drive back and finish this oil. Then I have to do more shit. Probably won't sleep.

Can a verde get a break? Damn.

So I'm back from harbor freight, got a new unit for free, and they let me buy the 2 year warranty again (this one was a year old of purging, that's a lot of purging.. Probably had 30 hours on it..) So I walked out with another guaranteed vacuum pump for $20. I could do this for life? LOL. Only ever buy one of these things.

Now I'm 3 purges in the current oil, and the oil is clearing up. It's beautiful. Going to go another 2-3 purges at least.. Giving the unit a 15 minute break leaning against a tile wall with a bag of ice on the other side for now 8). It's warming up with the sunlight!

Low temps is like 160-170 with only a 30-40 second exposure before going into the vacuum. Sometimes if the oil isn't great quality I'll do 170 for a minute every time and that results in a more rapid purge. I don't want to warm this oil up too much though. Anyway, it looks like it's keeping the awesome yellow color! :) edit: also I was using lower temp water for the pan purge.

How's everyone's morning going?

Thats the temp I wondered about. The h20 temp.

Warranties are the shit. Only reason bbb torch is better than vector. Can take it back locally. No matter how painted, stickers, broken base. Anything. Even no box or reciept. I've did it with all those.

Funny you say that, I'm now noticing my blazer big shot starting to make an audible leak from the bottom..

edit: fixed that shit with a flathead screwdriver...

THANK YOU DAN KONE putting bitches back in there place
Lol.......... 8)
The test I want to see is budder thc % a day after its ready then another thc% a month later. Because that's my problem with it. It degrades and crumbles. I smoke cigarettes and don't care about the rest. I'll smoke budder. Just not make it. And want the highest % of thc. Not the easiest to get a dab of.

Oil is finished...

And my god.. This is some seriously powerful stuff.. Immediately on the inhale it just tastes super clean, like pine sol hash oil. Then once it fills your lungs that clean taste moves to a SKUNKY fruity PINEAPPLE flavor.. full on 100% pineapples..ZERO harshness.. Then you realize you have to breathe, and the exhale just fills your tastebuds with pineapple flavor... This pineapple express is the kind of oil your like, "wait a minute, this requires a second review, that was too good."



Definitely some creeper too. I haven't used that term in years and years but this is truly some creeper. I took a fat dab, to analyze, then took another. Then I started this paragraph with a super coherent thought and review, and then it just went to shit :clap::dunce::weed:.


6 purges, home grown g13 pineapple express, 100% trim.

- When this stuff was mixing with the butane and coming out the tube, I thought the yield was going to be shitty.. Usually I see the oil pretty thick and chunky pouring out , this came out pretty translucent. When it cleared up it was crazy, just super translucent. Then it started coagulating and then just, magic. 8)
