Extraction BHO Discussion Thread

[Root]

I can no longer take part in discussion of just heat purging as i did it for almost a year when i started and realized its not safe nor clean.

If theres discussion on vac purging and making proper meds then i will be back.

The solution to that is to make a thread on vacuum purging Weedman.

We are here to make the safest medicine. You have experience in this we need to hear it.

I just did a Google search of this 10 min a gram and heat purging and its all from 2011 2012

Now i want you to Google BHO house explosions and compare the years of the two when the most explosions occurred


I know its only a few years ago and thats when people didn't know shit on it.

I myself started experimenting in 2010 heat purging and whipping and dabbing poison trust me iv been there.

in the past 3-5 years BHO knowledge has exploded il leave it at that

 

[Weedman30]

The only way i would make BHO if i did not have a vac would be this:

STAGE 1 PREPERATION
These steps can be done indoors
Step 1-Dry my starting material and put butane in Freezer. (You want a very dry Material)
Step 2-Once Material is nicely dry you want to break your material up as if you were to pack a bowl or roll something.
Step 3-Pack your choice of Tube Glass (5mm thickness Minimum) or Stainless Steel. (NO PVC or Turkey Basters) You dont want it loose nor rock hard tight. It should be a nice firm pack but you are still able to blow air through the enclosed end of the tube where your Butane will be injected into.
Step 4-Secure the end of your tube using a pipe clamp or zip ties and your choice of unbleached coffee filters or a S.S micron screen or both.
Step 5-Prepare your Glass pyrex make sure there are no containment in the dish and that it is dry. You can also line your pyrex with PTFE its like Parchment but is safe to blast on and no scraping or agitation so less likely to budder on ya as well. Parchment is not safe to blast on as the polar solvent will degrade the parchment paper in microscopic amounts and it will be in your finished product. (see below if you do have to scrape)


STAGE 2:THE PROCESSING
These steps will ONLY be performed outdoors with proper safety equipment on Stand By!!!
Step 1-Move your Butane/Tube/Pyrex outside in a safe location.
Step 2- Using protection for your hand from the tube (oven mit or something) hold the tube over your pyrex dish.
Step 3-After shaking your Butane of choice do 5-8 second Blasts with 3-5 seconds in between each blast to allow the butane to soak in the material and strip it of the Trichcome heads. Continue these intervals until the butane is just about to come out the end of your tube. (Remember 1 can of butane to 1 oz of product or until the liquid from your tube is running Clear) Once the Butane is about to exit the tube i like to do a full on Blast with no stopping. i will continue to run butane through my material until it runs clear.
Step 4-Once you have completed your Blasting or running of your material you want to do a hot water bath. so find a pan or pyrex dish that is larger then the one you used to collect your BHO. You want to have your larger pyrex dish filled about 1/4 to 1/2 full of hot water from your sink i don't recommend using boiling water or anything crazy like that just let the sink run for a min or two and it will be plenty warm. Now you may have to replace the water a time or two depending on the size of your run or temps outside. You want to do this until ALMOST ALL REACTION STOPS.
Step 5-Once all the liquid butane has evaporated and your left with the BHO and you didn't use PTFE its now time to pour or scrape. I like to Pour and Scrape. Once i know my BHO is safe to bring to my shed or Garage (NOT INDOORS AT THIS POINT) i will have my Parchment paper pre staged where i will then pour my BHO into the center of the Parch paper and scrape the remainder. This is where i transfer to my Vac where itl purge for 72-96 hours at around 102-108.
If you are no Vacing your Meds and heat purging you can either Pour and scrape to heat on parch paper or heat in your pyrex with out scraping either way is fine.



STAGE 3 THE PURGING
Step 1- Take your Bho thats on your Parch Paper or in your Pyrex dish and to a outside location still where you have a electric griddle on stand by 90-118 try not to go higher then that unless you want a honeycomb budder consistency.
(i would recommend getting an Infrared thermometer so you can tell your exact temp of oil as griddles fluctuate approx 10 degrees.)
Also look into getting Cermanic floor tiles from your hard ware store grab 3 or 4 they are great heat buffers.
I would set 4 tiles 2 next to each other and the other two on top of those so you have a nice even surface.
Place you Parch paper or pyrex on these tiles and heat on the stated temps above for a min of 12 hours before you bring indoors or you can continue to work outside in a shed or garage. Once you relocate get your griddle set back up with your tiles and place your bho back on the tiles at the desired temps for another 72-96 hours Minimum at constant heat do not turn the griddle off.

TAKE NOTE: I did not say to Whip or pop bubbles at any point the keys to getting a good purge is to Heat low and slow and Set it and forget it for 96 hours. Let it purge guys dont be in a rush youl enjoy it much more once its done correctly.
With the IR Thermometer your checking temps of BHO you want that around 100-110. With the tiles youl prob set your griddle to 150 F.
Also it dosent matter if its a gram or a oz always purge a min 72 hours then give a sizzle test drop a dab on a hot nail and listen to the sound. or a lighter test take a small dab on the end of your dabber and hold a lighter to it if it flames theres butane in it purge longer.
If your doing a BIG ASS run and have alot of BHO Purge Longer the 96 HOURS

Once youve completed the process safely its time to enjoy your meds guys

I can dig that! How much do you run at a time Weedman? You must have edited in the time I read and replied lol, as you answered my question now.

 

[Weedman30]

I can dig that! How much do you run at a time Weedman? That also has a lot to do with how long you heat purge.

Yes it does have allot to do with it as thats why its in the Take note larger runs take longer.

I run a LB at a time or a OZ for personal. i have two 7 Gal Chambers and 2 Vacs so for my LB runs i blast into two separate dish as i have a Half pound tube. and each dish will water purge for a hour or so then i put my dish directly in the vacs no scraping or anything and il pull it to -15hg for about 3 hours.

I then pull my dishes out and pull my ptfe out of the dish and transfer to Parch paper and then purge at 108 F for 72 hours flipping every 24 hours.

If you feel like it, next time you do a run make a video for us! I'd love to watch your process.

A few questions if you don't mind.

WeedMan, you mentioned a can per oz. Do all cans come in the same size, and how do we determine crappy butane from the good stuff?
What determines if we pour or scrape?
If you have a metal tube, how do you know when it is about to come out of the tube?

Sorry for the newb questions, but I really want to understand this whole BHO thing, as I look forward to becoming a master chef!
A video would be awesome WeedMan!! As a total newb, I still feel in the dark, and am hoping we can get some more information that will help us newbs become more knowledgeable about the absolute basics, and how to start from square 1

Hey Weedman! Do you ever winterize your BHO?

 

[Weedman30]

Hey Weedman! Do you ever winterize your BHO?

Large run yes i will winterize or dewax which ever you wish to call it. I use a buchner funnel for dewaxing

Hey Everyone,

I hope you have ironed this out a bit. You may get me in trouble here. Root and I took responsibility for everything in this thread. We won't let any misinformation in here.

Bubblekarma, your only option here is to have your source come here and explain all this. I have to take the stand that purging has to require more time.

Also, not everyone dabs. sticky or budder, it works for me as well either way. So making krumble is not a negative thing, it is just a different way of consumption. It also serves better for medibles, imo.

Also, no amount of information brought to this thread can substitute for practical experience. Keep that in mind.

Weedman, you are probably our foremost leader in this area atm. You have done the research and applied your experience well, so even though I will almost alway check the facts, you have shown to be knowledgeable. Kudo, reps to you.

Root, yer the best, thanks for your astute personal guidance here.

Hope everyone is fine, cuz, I just got home from work, and I am gonna smoke some Carmeliscious/ Sour Orange Kush X Lemon Thai/ Evol's Spice (stuff leftover in the tray).


later.
