cleanin your honey oil for smooth perfection

READ ME!!!

I have done the "mirror test" with three different kinds of butane that were all recommended for making honey oil... I sprayed a small amount of each into a pyrex pan and left it to evaporate to determine the cleanest butane... While all the odor did dissapear there seemed to be a very very thin layer of something white left over from all the brands I tried... So saying that there is ZERO impurites left from a butane extraction is a bit ignorant I think... So, unless you have access to PURE N-BUTANE, you can expect a SMALL amount of impurities in the oil, IMO! Maybe washing with water removes some of these impurities???

AND.......
I dont think one would ever have to worry about MOLDY OIL... THC is a anticeptic, how could mold grow on it? It grows on the leaf matter of buds and hash under the right conditions... I dont think it could grow in a 80% thc concentrate... PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG! peace

"i would like an explanation as to what is wrong with the "honey-bee butane extractor". other than i'm a rookie because those suck.

it may help me learn something."

People seem to be using thick glass tube a lot more now days because of the debate on weather or weather not the PVC extractors are leaching any impurites into the oil, even though the honey bees are not supposed to, the idea of glass just sounds cleaner to some... they are more difficult to fashion than PVC extractors though and should be done with THICK TUBING!

repeating because I thought my initial post was overlooked due to its length and my noob status...

AND, not yelling, just bolding the texts that I find important... :)

And I also posted why I expect it doesnt mold or mildew, but it was my theory on the matter and was asking to be corrected if I was wrong in my assumption...

I personally LOVE the idea of washing something I will be smoking with something I consume daily... after its been dizzolved in something I would NEVER ingest...

Also, you are completly drenching your thichs in the process of making bubble hash, but if allowed to dry properly, it wont mold either:)

i could be many things im not sure im no scientist
i would think it it excess butane or impurities in the butane

the thin film of stuff on top of the water looks kinda like a oil spill in the ocean

all i noe its i wont hurt ur oil at all

nd it makes it smoother

First off... none of us have access to absolute zero impurity, pure N-BUTANE... Even though there is a very insignificant amount of impurities in the good butane we have access to, it still ends up in our oil...

also, honey oil can vary in THC percentage due to a lot of factors...
strain, quality, extraction technique...
this came from CANNABIS CULTURE MAG...
"One concern is that if you expose the solvent to the cannabis for too long, you'll start to dissolve off not just the THC-laden resins, but also chlorophyll, waxes and other naturally occurring substances that will degrade the oil's potency, color and taste."

SO... theoretically... water could then remove some of these unwanted impurities that end up in our oil after the butane extraction and evaporation are preformed...

I am VERY surprised this is not a commonly practiced step in making honey oil and am very curious as to why it has not been researched more...

i do NOT like the idea of pouring water all over my oil until someone with some intelligence can explain EXACTLY what it is doing. bongsmilie

with out me explaining general further... you did. So yes, exactly all of the above. Although methods have changed over the years. There are still many o' methods of "refining" anyone's extract. As there are trichs that dont produce thc, or other cannabinoids. Yes... tricomes are present on all sorts of non mj related plants, and in mj plants, that are also water soluable.*at a boiling point. I am positive you know this. You will possibly point out any run-ons or grammatical errors as well. so I wont any write condescending comments. lol
Without knowing jack shit about this, and reading, this is possilby another reason. as this is for iso extract. And I wont explain myself...lol bully mod

lol, since you decided you were wrong? Everyone take note by looking at his bully comments to mrbudder in his profile. Calling him an idiot didnt get you an infraction. So what does that make you once again? Slandering people with condescending comments? I will post your hypocrisy.

gotta back fdd here.... as far as extractions go (such as "essential oil" extractions), methods such as this (the butane) are at the forefront of the technology in the field.... the only "purer" thing you could conceive to extract with would be pure CO2, which requires a load of upwards of 5times that of propane or butane.... that coupled with the very low boiling point (evaporation) of butane and propane, make them an extremely effective method of extraction for the home user......

I've been damn interested in this "budder" since in first heard about it on here over a year ago...... but i've made honey oil via butane extraction on a few occasions..... some as ghetto as out of a plastic pop bottle.... and yet NO ONE CAN/WILL explain what the hell makes this "budder" so much "better"..... and this is the first time i've seen anyone attempt to explain what makes it different.....

until you present some VALID, SCIENTIFIC evidence, I have to say that you are full of shit. :eyesmoke:

The budder shit has me laughing. Says oil is like 80% thc, and this budder is 99%thc. For some reason I don't feel like fretting over some super secret method that makes some proptietary form of smoke that's only available in BC for some outlandish price.

I think I'm ok taking the extra .2375 of a hit of honey oil, and not thinking about this ever again.
