Good Day to Everyone.


As Promised, we now have a thread where BHO (Butane Honey Oil) is not taboo.

Here at AFN, we spent a lot of time deciding how to do this section. Our main concern is safety of course.

BHO has a couple of things to watch out for. One is the flamability of the Butane. For this AFN ONLY recommends doing this Process outdoors. There will be no "Oh, It was too cold" or " It was wet outside", will not get any endorsement of Indoor Processing.

The second thing to watch out for is cleanliness of the final BHO product. I am sure no one wants to consume unpurged Butane.


We will not allow any discussion of unsafe practices.

We will monitor threads for information. It must be spot on, or it will get washed. One of the things we were concerned about is MIS-information.

This is a highly volatile subject. We are expectin "Adult" conversation on this topic. As soon as we start seeing bickering, flaming, slamming, or general bitching, we will shut it down.

If you treat this section as intended, it should be good for all of us.

Everyone read this: if you have questions about subject matter, please PM Me, Root66, Grandma Roody, Oldster, or Briman.

If you cant find us readily, contact another Moderator, and they can pass the word.

We are not going to allow puffery. Or simply put, if you have a question of minor attention, don't start a whole new thread please. We will have a thread (probably this one,) where questions and answers will be available.
 
YAY its here!!

I ran an oz of Auto Cush X Chem trim by Mephisto and Yielded a decent 3.6 grams.

Here it is after a 24 hour purge before it was flipped and put back in for another 12 hours

I'm very new to this, so I have a ton of questions. Please excuse my ignorance.
What is the difference between shatter, wax, qwiso, etc...?

Hey man is all good got to start somewhere.

Shatter/wax/crumble/honeycomb/sap are all just different variations or consistency's of BHO you can achieve through different Temps during purge and sometimes really just strain dependent.

Now QWISO is Quick Wash ISO so your just doing a quick shake with either ISO or Ethanol (Everclear) and extracting the Trichome heads that way
 
Hey guys i understand im not a MOD by any means but i have been extracting for 4+ years 2 years of that being medically. So if its ok with the Mods of this forum id be more than Glad to help out.

I just dont want people to get hurt or be consuming poison!!
 
Thanks for clearing that part up. Is one any better than the other, since they are all just variants of BHO?
 
What is the best material to make "bho extraction tube"? Glass or stainless steel?

I have both steel and glass. I like that you can see whats going on in the tube with glass, but with the massive temperature changes when the butane is introduced, they can (and do) crack. I went through 2 glass tubes until I found one that is thick enough to ally my fear. The steel tube is literally bulletproof, but again, no viewing the process while processing the material in the tube.

SS is Good to use thats what my Half Pound tubes are.
but
You can go both ways because i also have a Boro Tube that holds a OZ i use for personal small Runs.

Both are safe and good to use.
I would not recommend a Cheap China Glass made tube as that can get risky.
Make sure the glass is nice and Thick

Do not use PVC or Plastic turkey Basters
