Bho how many runs

Today, BHO is still widely used to make cannabis concentrates because of its effectiveness, purity, and pricing over CO2. Finished cannabis concentrates are sold in a variety of forms for vaping. Butane hash oil is also commonly used to create edibles, topicals, vape juices, and other cannabis-infused products. When buying BHO vape cartridges and prefilled pens, be sure to ask for uncut oils.

Most are cut with coconut oil, and some contain vegetable glycerin or other essential oil blends. There are two types of extraction systems used to make BHO: open-loop and closed-loop. Open-loop systems are only found in DIY home setups. Commercial extractors use closed-loop systems, regardless of the solvent used. This is because BHO is a concentrate of all the chemicals within the plant.

Thread starter rival Start date Sep 10, How many times can I reblast a single run? I looked at it again the other day and it still smells like thc. If I break it up more can I run another can through? Have you heard of the jar or thermos method?

The difference is you chill the butane in the freezer, so it remains a liquid rather than evaporating off, then let the liquid butane soak your ground herb in a jar outside for at least half an hour the cold prevents the butane from evaping, you can use a thermos or put the jar in an ice chest outdoors if you want to soak longer, then filter and evap. For full details and a clearer write up of the process, check out my Vapor Volumes, under the Oil section.

I dont think that leaving the open butane in the freezer is safe. The cold should keep it in a liquid state but butane is an aromatic hydrocarbon, so some will sublimate.

I have no idea how much but it would take very little to fill a freezer space enough to make a spark explosive. Sort of like gasoline, a mix of aromatic hydrocarbons that are liquid at room temp, but still sublimates enough into gas that it has a detectable smell an can create dangerous, ignitable vapors, especially when its hot out temp is right around the phase change temp for liquid to gas, as butane is in a standard home freezer.

You flip on the light switch. If there is any kind of spark, BOOM! Wear safety goggles. Butane WILL spatter out at some point, especially when you are still learning your equipment and finding the correct adapter from your butane can to the tube.

A tube to pack your material in, which will hold the material in place so you can run butane thru it. I only put grams in at a time. Extraction Experts has many tubes to choose from. Some smaller, some bigger. For the average home grower harvesting a pound or two at a time, I would suggest this tube. I do not recommend getting tubes that use hose clamps and rubber corks to hold the material in.

The rubber stopper can pop out, ruining your shatter and getting butane soaked material everywhere. A vacuum chamber and an electric skillet. Some skillets will hold a consistent temperature, some not. It is absolutely necessary to get one if you want to make quality shatter.

Vacuum Pump: I use a 3cfm, single stage vac pump. I use the one shown is this picture. It is a white corning ware oven safe round dish. Then put that inside a regular stove top pan. A round dish works the best because it transfers to the round vac chamber easier. The big pan should have warm water in it.

If you attempt to blast without water in the big pan, the dish could freeze to the surface. A double broiler set up, and letting the butane out of the tube. Be careful not to let it out too fast and splash. PTFE: The days of blasting into pyrex and scraping are over.

Now we blast straight into PTFE. You can score some PTFE on ebay. After vac, the shatter will peel right off the PTFE. No scraping, no loss of yield. Blasted right into the PTFE. It rates 3rd best in residuals by a guy forget his name on toke city.

It makes nice clear shatter and it is inexpensive. Google it if you want. If you attempt to blast before your material is fully dry, your shatter may have a green tint to it. Every time you handle it, move it, weigh it, you are losing trichomes. I always cringe when I see people walking around squeezing buds in their gardens. Throw fan leaves in the garbage, and cut all the frosty trim into a bin. Here is a typical handful of trim that is ready for blasting.

And the bins I use to trim in, shown below. After you are done trimming, you will have a bin full of wet trim. I let it dry for about 5 days, turning it over with my hands once a day.

I do not suggest moving the trim into brown paper bags. Again, you are losing trichomes, every time you handle it and put it into a different container. Use the same bins over and over.

Eventually, you will have plenty of kief in the bin to scrape up and sprinkle on your joints. Only after it is dry, then you can pile it up as you see here in this picture.

At this time I like to put a lid on it, and burp it every day for a week, then it is ready to blast. A bin full of trim, waiting to be blasted, or made into canna oil. Packing your tube: Before packing make sure you now which end is which. Most tubes come with a fine screen on the output. A coffee filter, cut just right to fit inside the rubber gasket. Attach the bottom to your tube and start packing from the top.

Put in about 3 handfuls, then pack lightly with a piece of PVC pipe, wooden rod, or similar. The material should be packed in so there is no air space around it, but not too tight. This is part of the ART of blasting. The important thing here is that all fittings, hose clamps, rubber stoppers, etc, are secure!

Tube packed and sealed2. Hot water will COOK your shatter, turn it dark and burn off potency and flavor. Approximately one ml can of butane for each ounce of material you are blasting. Nothing electric is turned on in the blasting area not fans, no nothing. Light switches taped down. Safety goggles 6. Dry, clean towel. Blast off! You will probably have a different tube, but you can use the same technique I use here.

I blast about 7 zips at a time, so I use 7 cans for each run. Check the tip of your butane can and put it into the top of your tube. It should fit tightly. Butane cans come with a variety of tips that you can exchange to find the best one that works with your tube. With both top and bottom valves wide open, start putting in butane at the top. When your can runs out, close the top valve, remove the can, put on a new can, open the top valve. Work quickly. We want to flood the material as quickly as possible.

Keep putting in butane at the top and soon it will start coming out the bottom. Let a good amount of butane come out about a full can , then close the bottom valve. Put in one more full can, if possible.

Get in as much as you can, as quickly as you can. I always get in 4 cans in my tube initially. After the tube is full of butane, take the tube out of the stand, and flip it upside down. This will help get the butane to the top of the tube and make sure all the material is soaked. If the tube has frost on it, or is sweating, you may want to wipe it down.

DO NOT get water droplets into your oil. Let the tane flow to the top of the tube for about minutes. We are simply trying to flood all of the material with tane at this point. Butane will come out. Let it keep coming out until only air is coming out. Close the valve, wait one minute for more butane to flow down, and open the valve again, letting tane out until it stops again.

Now, close the bottom valve and put in a total of two more cans. You may need to let a little pressure out the top or bottom of the tube to get in two more cans. Now, repeat step 2. Now, use one more can to flush everything out and get the last of it. Keep the bottom valve open slightly until only air is coming out.

Do this a couple more times until you feel like all the tane is out. Pull your double broiler rig out from under the blasting tube. This will prevent any water droplets from falling into our oil. At any time during the process, if you see water droplets on the tube, you can close the bottom valve, take the tube out and wipe it down, quickly.

The water in your double broiler will be cool by now. You can pour it out and use some warm water, but no warmer than bath water.

Too hot, and you will cook off the flavorful terpenes. You will see some material in your tane that looks like a sea sponge.
