Great point. All of these sites have their share of concentrate wizards, and processes (and sharing of information) have come a long way in recent years. I've still very new at solvent extractions, I've only ever made bubble hash in the past. This recent batch of rock budder that that I made blows any bubble hash I've ever made out of the water though (taste and potency), and the light blond colour is just gorgeous. Check out the melt on this stuff:
I did too, but it's really not that hard. It just takes a few bucks to get the proper equipment, and it's much more of a pain in the ass due to the safety hazard and the need to do most of it outside.
purging the shit(oil) correctly, most important.
for taste and cleanliness of a product..... bubble is the only way in my opinion as it is far easier in produce and less dangerous
Now..if you know how to make shatter correctly. That's a different story.
Vacs are used more for oil you burn. Less heat the better.
You can still make meds for ingesting purposes without using a vac.
yum yum...wanna come play at my house...Hippy Like
If you buy good equipment the danger is reduced....but yes NEVER inside....hehehehehe...unless you have a Tamisium extractor....then your good inside
Yeah, I just don't run enough to justify the $1500 investment in a closed-loop system. For those that do, those things are fantastic though. I'm primarily a flower smoker, concentrates are just an occasional treat.

"if you get 2 ozs out of a lb of good bud you are doing good....80 grams sounds like it hasn't been cleaned properly....just my .02 after 20 years of making goo...)"
Keep at it Mr!!!
...been at it far longer eh
depends on the strain ,,,you should know that at least.
so what,,,52 grams from a pound is ok because that's what you get?
lmaorotff..... Keep at it. You'll figure it all out. Ive already stated that you get 50 to 80 grams.. but hey..thats unheard of because you cant do that lol....ppphhhhtttt
cheers .
Interesting....do you have a pic of which model of food saver sealer you have or how you rig this all up? I'm trying to picture how you would draw enough of a vacuum with one of those things.I should also mention I recommend using a heating pad or something similar underneath the chamber to keep the oils less viscous and to increase the vacuum in the chamber. Once it's fully purged, dependant on the strain, you'll have some nice crystal clear shatter
I'm stupid...you have to keep it running?
You have to pull a vacuum for an extended period over low heat while the product muffins up, collapses once most of the gas is gone, and then completely finishes bubbling indicating that all gas is removed. It takes time, and varies depending on the quality of gear and amount of vacuum you are pulling. When you put unpurged BHO in a vac chamber it goes crazy for a while.
