Purging bho with seedling mat?

[OCKushCollector]

This will be my first time making oil. I have everything down, but couldn't find any clear info on this purging method. I'm trying to work with what I have available and I seems like a seedling mat would be ideal due to the low heat. How long should I place the Pyrex on the mat to purge the remaining butane, after the hot water bath? Ideally I would like a shatter texture but don't mind if I end up with a different texture. Also, would you advise mixing strains for bho runs? I didn't think about this and mixed trim and buds from 3 different strains while trimming last night.

try to do each straihn seperate, and keep it on the heatmat till it stops bubblin. it may take an hour

Would it be beneficial to leave it on the heat mat overnight? I would imagine it stays around 80*

Your doing this outside right?

Seedling heat mat is not hot enough. You want to shoot for between 120-140 F. Some people use an electric skillet on low, or a crock pot on low. Make sure the dish doesn't get too hot though before you leave it on unattended for a period of time.

I just double boil mine with one larger Pyrex dish filled 1/2 with water and another smaller Pyrex dish with the goods floating on the water of the larger Pyrex on the stove over a very low flame. I do this for about 4 hours, making sure not to let the water boil. If it does its too hot. I try and keep a close eye on the water because even on the lowest setting on my stove it boils after a while. Works like a charm for me.

Oh yeah, make sure it has been doing its thing outside for 15-20 mins at least before bringing it in and putting on the stove. Use the ventilation hood on high as a precaution.

Thanks for the feedback, very helpful. I do have a crock pot I could use, although I'm not sure how I could fit a Pyrex dish in there. Could you go from the Pyrex to parchment paper, then sit that in the crock pot?

thats about what i do...dont really need pyrex at all...just blast into a parchment bowl n float it on hot water...
heat transfers quicker and will purge wayyyyy faster...

i put it on a seedling heat mat doubled up. it gets hotter that way.

Found a Pyrex small enough to fit in my crockpot. I will put almost boiling water in the crock pot dish and float the Pyrex on top of the water while heating the pot on low.

I have all my supplies ready but a little sketched out. There is a water heater about 15-20 feet away from where I will be running it OUTSIDE in my back yard. Am I safe? I have about 4 oz to blast.

Nope Dusa I've got a large 4 tray mat that i gently fold over and leave a nice large bend on the folded end.
fits a pyrex casserole dish nicely

With that amount you should be fine. Just make sure to do it on a day with a little breeze.

I just blast into a container sitting in hot tap water, so there are no elecrical devices involved, except for one or more fans dispersing the butane in a direction away from all ignition sources. When the water cools down from the evaporation, I just replace with more hot water from the tap, but never have to replace it more than once to boil off all visable butane rapidly.

I do the same thing, but then after I've caped off the liquid and its just goop I put it on my seedling mat.
