I've got nothing against a properly made BHO. I've never had anywhere to work outdoors so butane was out of the question for me to make at home. I've got a buddy with an awesome closed loop system and he makes killer extracts that I gladly enjoy
though.
The tricks to high quality alcohol extraction are simple really, keep everything real cold, do the wash fast so you don't get unwanted chlorophyll, and do a room temp evap on the alcohol(no heat!!) with a fan to evap the liquid. This gives the best taste, and smoothness I've achieved by retaining as many terps as possible, and keeping the washes as clean as possible.
