I have heard many different methods of making shatter that is stable at room temperature and shatters without bending, and that it can also just be a strain dependent situation. I will post my current process of making BHO - I am resulting in a slightly under 10% yield, using only trim/sugar leaf and small airy popcorns that were unfit for dispensaries. I am getting great color/clarity/smell - have yet to taste it as I am on a smoking break for another month, but reviews are good. Only problem is I am getting a pull and snap consistency. I am trying to find a reliable method of making shatter that actually will snap and SHATTER at room temp, like glass.
Currently running broken down trim/popcorn at about 1 can per oz of material, in a glass extraction tube, densely but not packed to the MAX pressure. Then putting into a electric skillet holding hot water (not boiling but steaming/simmering) floating my pyrex for maybe 3 or 4 minutes, until most reaction stops. (I think this might be where I am exposing the wax to too high of temps, going to do another run keeping this heat bath temps at around 100 degrees.) Then scraping and transferring to parchment - inserting into vac chamber and vaccing at -28inhg sometimes it gets all the way to -29.9inhg at ROOM temperature. After wax has muffined and popped as much as it will (usually only about 5 minutes) i then add heat to the extraction chamber keeping the temperature around 100-105 degrees. Sometimes i have caught it getting to about 112 degrees but not for very long, I am refining my method to be able to reliable sustain it at temps 98-105 degrees. It will sit in this vacuumed and heated state for about 24 hours, then releasing vacuum and letting it sit on heat for another 12 to 24 hours.
As I said the result is a very light pretty clear honey/amber colored glassy wax that is pull and snap consistency at room temperature. I am still new to the extracting process although I have done much research and have found varying reports. Any critique/info is greatly appreciated, but please be respectable.
first picture is just holding it, second one is holding it up to the light, it shattered because it was in the freezer. Thanks again for the input everyone. I strive in making quality healthy medicine
