Need help with BHO extraction

[GNick55]

Are we talking about isopropyl alcohol? Do you have a vacuum chamber? That might be why. Thats the "purest" iso I could find, there are a few more claiming 100% iso with close to 0 impurities but the first time was so bad that I didnt even bother looking further. With no vacuum all I could do is let it dry and no matter if I let it dry for a few days, I even saved it for weeks and tasted and it was still awful xD what could have been?
EDIT: I applied light heat aswell after the first evaporation process seemed to stop. I was left with something resembling very oily hash with a chemical taste. Maybe the brand?

i’ll get back to ya, sounds like you didn’t finish it properly,.
it’s all good,..
would you have pictures of it or during the stages of making it?

Thanks for your concern! Im aware of the risks, I will be in a big ventilated room (with exhaust fan) and will only do 1 charge at a time so the room can ventilate properly before the next badge. And of course no smoking or nothing similar, also I have ceramic instead of gas in my stove so Im also safe with that, for when I clean it in a water bath.

Dude fans spark in the stater of the motor!
No dice!
You should always have 2 cans per tube. 12 in or not. You know you are done when the micron filter is clean
Also, lightly packed not tight at all.
Blast into water.

Yes is starting to look not worth it specially considering that every single gas can is 5 euros to 9 (clipper and colibri) and the dangers. Fug it, Im not doing BHO, its 60 euros counting the extractor and the cans that I can use for something else. Thank you all for your input, if it wasnt for you I would have probably blown my house hahahaha. I would like to know how to make it so ISO doesnt taste like shit and makes me cough horribly though, perhaps it was just that the ISO I was using wasnt the best. Ideas?

91 or 99% iso only. Water pulls extra chlorophyll into the return. Material including the alcohol needs to be below 32f/0c. Don't expose the material to the cold iso while shaking for more then 10 seconds. I usually do about 5 seconds shaking then onto coffee filter. Do not squeeze the coffee filter to speed the process. Don't. Use the waste material for edibles. Squeezing the filter will damage your end return. So will exposing the material for more then 10 seconds or so.

Well done iso makes the cleanest full melts I've ever smoked. Personally. Often dabable. Can be a little wasteful if you don't dry your waste matter to make edibles though. But if you do that, there is zero waste product besides evaporated iso and water. You just won't know how strong the edible pull is without trying it lol.

Don't use ethyl alcohol, can make sugar conversions and funky flavors happen. Weird Soupy end results with poor flavor sometimes.

Thanks! I will try following your process and update with the results. When you pass it through the coffee filter how long do you let it sit so the ISO evaporates? Is heating it in a water bath a good idea or does it take so little time to evaporate that is not even worth it? Would this one work? Which one do you recommend? 91 or 99?

The bottle says no additives on the bottom right.

Hey man don’t give up on that wax yet, seriously man it is good shit. Holler anytime about it bro. You gotta do it once at least,
A 12in tube I’ve pulled 5-7g depending on tube circumference and herb quality.

 

[Beazy]

Are you winterising your ISO after straining ?? I know that makes a huge difference in final product. Be patient G Nick will get ya squared away properly!!! He is the man for all things hashy

I already spent all the budget, so no BHO extraction for me. If ISO is even better like people say, its not worth to go BHO, ISO is very cheap.

Without being able to vac out the Butane bubbles I will pass.

Im not gonna go for BHO in the end, but doesnt giving them a hot water bath evaporate the butane bubbles? I read that you can put your vitro at 1-2 potency and let it evaporate inside a container on top of the water and its suposed to be the same or very similar.

I only know of the BHO that was made without removing the butane bubbles that I refuse to Vape .
Good luck hope not to see in the news ...

Im not gonna de BHO for the third time hahaha Im gonna do ISO after considerating the risks and costs thanks to all of your input. Perhaps the one you tested wasnt purged at all, no water bath either. In any case, I have no idea since the only extractions Ive ever done is kief, all I know is what I saw people comment online and what you guys told me.

 

[GNick55]

ok,. so is the weed/bud your starting with good? taste buzz etc,..
did you put everything into the freezer, weed, isopropyl strainer etc?
how long did you shake/swirl the mixture before straining?

When we were making it my buddy made all sorts of shit out of it by purging different ways. We had “ear wax” and “honey oil” and “shatter”. I have know Idea if thats really what all those actually are and how you achieve them but they seemed appropriately named after their consistency. Only once we had a slight butane flavor until the next adjustment. This shit would get me so high for so long! It really makes me want to grow just to blow it all dabs are so good : ) really though I will always want to smoke some good herb!

Is this just a simple YouTube search to find a video to help me go through the entire process? I want to look into more, and dont want to follow some dumb BS on there

ok i’m thinking you don’t want oil but some sort of hashy dab able stuff,..

Oh boy, I did freeze the weed but I didnt freeze the ISO and it was sitting there for probably minutes. I watched a guide online and apparently it was trash because it didnt even mention freezing the weed that I did by instinct because I do freeze it aswell to extract kief. The material is good, trimmings from frosty leaves and small buds from my grows.
