So ive done a few runs all with heat purging. I finally got my vacuum chamber and pump so im ready to start making some good product. the last few runs i just used coffee filters. my newest blasting tube came with a stainless steel 50 micron screen, i also have a 120 micron silk screen. What micron do you find best for making bho? Thanks

am I stoned or are you saying the 50 would let stuff through? I think the 50 would be better than the 120 silk. Steel is measured in lpi and micron but 50 is really tiny.

i believe he is saying the 50 will let plant matter through, do you not believe this to be the case?

I use two coffee filters under the screen. They are around 20/25 microns.
From personal experience, everytime I have used 2-3 unbleached coffee filters it blows out on me. But the fourth one seems to be a charm lol

I'm not too bright but... isn't a micron, a micron? The smaller the number, the finer the opening in the screen, or tighter the mesh is. So, a 50 micron screen will stop finer, smaller particles than a 120 micron.

Actually the higher the count the smaller the opening, hence 120 is smaller than 70 and 220 smaller tan 110 . That's the way it works. When in doubt do some reference Wikipedia and there are also charts available on line or at your local fabric store or art supply place.
