Very interesting. I’ve definitely purchased “PHO” propane honey oil at the rec shop but it’s very rare, not something I see very common. Any idea why propane isn’t used more widely for extraction? I’d assume purity ?

Got another question- any tips on where to find butane sold in bulk I.e one large cylinder? I can find small cans no problem, but large cylinders or refills are impossible. No one carries butane, couple gas companies weren’t familiar with what it is. Literally argued on the phone with the lady...

So do you not cool the butane at all? You’ve got a much nicer set up than I, do you have an inline cooler or just run warm butane? By it will never happen- you referring to the 1 can/ oz target? I’m thinking my best bet would be what I did last time. Put in what I can, then run as an open blast...

Also upgraded the above extractor to include a pressure gauge, and a 50micron filter rather than the 150. The next upgrade will be a cooling/condensing coil for the butane to ensure it’s as cold as possible. For now all I have to work with is butane in the freezer, I had not heard that’s a no no...

This is the extractor I’m running; https://ablazecustom.com/collections/super-sale-collection/products/ablaze-stainless-steel-265-350-gram-closed-column-tube-with-outer-sleeve-and-tripod So no recovery tank. Just a simply blasting colum with dewaxing sleeve. I can fit three cans, but...

I appreciate all the tips! However, I’m running a closed column extractor with no recorders tank. Just a pressurized open blast essentially. I can’t freeze my extractor because it doesn’t fit in my freeze. I do freeze the material first, put it in the extractor, load the dewaxing column and let...

Also some notes to add. I cooled my butane in the freezer overnight, and then had them sitting in a dry ice/acetone bath for maybe 30 minutes prior to using. So I know the butane was very cold. The extractor itself was extremely cold as well, beyond what my thermometer could read (I think mine...

Hey everyone I have a question that I’m sure has been answered, just can’t find a good post on the topic. The problem I’m having is my extractor won’t take very much butane. I pull a vacuum and allow to chill for several hours with dewaxing column filled with dry ice/acetone. When I introduce...

If anyone is interested this is the tech I was reading https://forum.grasscity.com/threads/winterizing-de-waxing-bho-my-method.1304517/

Your question is to vague my man, way to many factors to influence. You probably won’t get a helpful answer. How much weight can you pack in the tube? You freezing everything? What’s the quality of the bud? Live resin typically yields very low because you have to account for all the extra water...

As the title states, I’m struggling to figure out the best way to process multiple batches, with only 1 vacuum chamber. I have probably 5-10 batches (still trimming) to process from the outdoor crop, I’d rather not have it sit in the freezer for a long time. I can process the average run start...

Unfortunately no, not with this set up. I’d need a recovery tank and some other equipment, I don’t know a whole lot about that aspect. I do know that I could eventually upgrade and build onto this system to create a closed loop. But as of right now, this is essentially open blasting just with...

Ahhh I see what you are saying, open up into the Teflon bag which is sitting in the hot bath, then I assume into a chamber? Reading about the bags there seems to be mixed reviews. Some say they are incredible, others says the material sticks to them really bad. What is your experience?

How/why is the purge instant? I don’t understand how a Teflon bag would cause an instant purge

Never heard of the Teflon bag! I’ll read into it today. I bought the same heater from ablaze :)

To each their own I suppose! Yes it can be very dangerous without common sense. So can driving a car, shooting guns, chopping down trees.... lots of activities take far more lives every year than blasting does. I appreciate your concern, I’ll be doing more research taking as many precautions as...

Figured out a step I missed! Blast into Pyrex (lined with parchment), then into the hot bath to boil off butane, then into vacuum purge. a few more questions I’ve put together this morning lol. shower head attachment to disperse the butane better, worth it or kinda pointless on a closed...

Well, I’ve worked in a legal grow facility so I’ll tell you exactly what that is hahahah. So in the trim room, lots of trim falls on the floor! And is swept up for blasting... Or my favorite- the crop won’t pass microbial testing. To much PM. It is then blasted... and sold to us :) the circle of...

Hello everyone! As the title says, I’m new to extracting and hoping to get some advice. I’ve been scouring the internet for videos and forums and feel pretty confident in the technique I will use, just want to run it by others with more experience. I’m not exactly new to blasting. As a teenager...
