[How To]: Butane Honey Hash Oil (Videos and Pictures)

[PussymOneyWeed]

Here's some better pics.

And nice pickup on the SGW. The only thing i can say is you are absolutely gonna need a different nail if thats the one it comes with. That nail is too short, making it too close to the male joint which means when your heating it your gonna be heating up that male joint just as much as the nail. This could end up cracking your rigs downstem really fast.

Went ape shit on an oil extravaganza today and figured what better way to show the goods then to show people how to make liquid gold at the same time!

So here we are... first off. My butane honey oil vacuum purge technique (in 1080p)

[youtube]za26ntAaeWc[/youtube]
This video was, surprisingly, at first for my parents to learn how hahahahaha they love oil


Equipment you will need:
Bud or trim (Good nugs will result in highest quality and yield)
Extraction tube
Pyrex dish that's easily scrapable
5x refined Butane (Vector or Colibri brand)
Coffee filter or Cheese Cloth
Parchment Paper (NOT Wax)
Hose clamp/ fastener
MityVac hand vacuum
Foodsaver jar or Mason jar (cut a slit on top and use the suction cup attachment for Mason)
Trial and error

and the goods!;

Started with a half ounce of Trainwreck outdoor nugs and a half ounce of Berry White x OG underbuds and frost trim. The eighth is Fire OG I picked up for me to smoke $130 for 31.5g

Right after scraping, no purge;

After

A victory dab of some razor bho hash!

Fourth vac, I did them both in one

Final calmed down stable honey oil;

Vacuum pump I used is just a hand vacuum pump for bleeding brakes. Was like $25 at Sears and it has attachments to hook up to food saver jars.

Tips:
You cannot vacuum purge oil without it being heated into a molten state. Hence why I put it in the oven for a little while before vac'ing.

You can use an oil dish instead of smearing your errl onto parchment paper. I however don't have a dish, and like the mobility of PP so that's what I use and recommend. Remember never use wax paper, as it comes off and contaminates your oil.

ALWAYS spray your butane outdoors with no open flame or heat source nearby. It's so easy to end up another asshat on the news because of butanes flammability. Bring it inside for purging once it's no longer runny in the pyrex, just sticky and bubbly.

BEWARE of using materials for your extraction tube. GLASS and STAINLESS STEEL are the best for extracting with no contaminates. Next best is copper BUT ONLY if you thoroughly clean it before every extraction and know how to properly clean copper residue. Last resort is PVC, BUT you need to make sure the grade of PVC will not have compounds going into your oil. Certain types are for chemicals or solvents I believe.

Never use crappy butane like Rosslin or what you find in your garage. Go to a fine cigar shop and they will most likely have a 5x refined butane. Ask specifically for Colibri or Vector... those are the most widely used amongst us shat-heads for making BHO.

General yield estimate
Plant Material-|-Recommended amount Butane-|-Estimated Yield
1oz High quality bud-|-12oz-|-3-6g
1oz Average bud-|-10oz-|-2-4g
1oz low grade bud-|-9oz-|-2-3g
1oz high quality trim leaves-|-12oz-|-3-5g
1oz trim & leaves-|-10oz-|-2-4g
1oz fan leaves-|-8oz-|-1-2g

For my cans of Vector it takes roughly 30 seconds to get through half of the can. Those are Mississippi seconds

How do you go about storing the extract oil? Also do you leave it on the un-waxed paper? Lol ... I have a few questions as I am new to this method and would love to be skilled at it How is it best enjoyed, Spliff, Bong, Vape, etc etc ?? and how much do you need to smoke at a time ?? I take it its alot stronger than smoking buds? Whats it taste like.. Does it make you cough real bad or is it smooth, How much is it worth ?? and lastly whats the vacumme containers for? and how much are they?

Sorry for all those questions, it would be real helpful if you could get back to me on this though Ps/ REP! Well done mate awesome Video - STELTHY

 

[Sr. Verde]

This is like my 8th run.. I'm getting good at it too

need to return that mighty vac,,,, fuuuccckkk me

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

yeah i was wondering about the parchment paper too. does it go brittle enough to simply peel away the paper?

 

[Sr. Verde]

it doesnt stick to the parchment paper.... when frozen

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

top tip verde! thanks. im timing my order for A glass tube to arrive just before harvest!

so whats the preference peeps, skillet and a dome or whipping the oil into rocks, i say rocks as its not budder as people keep trying to tell me. saw some purple oil led in kief round here the other day shit looked awesome.

ok I guess ill try to answer these lol

1)I never have obscene amounts of oil so i just always store mine in my dishes. But if you have a bunch i suppose you can get the glass vials the dispensaries sell them in. Also you can just leave it on parchment paper if you want.

2) you want to get either an Oil dome with a nail, like Sr.Verde has, Or you can get what i have which is a Skillet/Curve(it's referred too as both) with a Titanium pad. This eliminates the need to use any plant matter so you can get a feel of what the oil is all about. Both of these methods are a form of vaporization, and they are basically amazing.

3) Basically to keep this one as simple as possible, .1 is a nice fat dab and will get you wrecked. Youtube some random dab videos and you will see people dying tryin to kill .25-.5 gram dabs hahaha.

4) If good butane is used and its purged right, the hash oil will taste JUST like the buds it was made from, but the actual flavor is intensified by x3.

5) It's usually Extremely smooth, but it expands SO much in your lungs that it does pack a punch and will make you cough quite a bit. The funny thing is though it's usually a delayed cough. You will get too exhale and be able to comment on how good it tasted and how smooth it was. Then about that time it starts to kick in haha.

6) The value completely varies based on location,how well it was made, the consistency it is when it comes out, how potent it is, ect. But i've seen it go for 30-60 a gram.

7) The vacuum containters are for the 2nd step of purging out all of the butane from your hash oil. You do this after you have given your pyrex dish a hotwater bath and thrown it in the oven at 170 for a few minutes. At this point you take out the HOT hash oil, put it on the parch. paper, throw it in the vaccuum jar, and apply the vac. This removes pretty much as much butane as you can. The mityvac runs like $40 or so, and the pumpnseal runs $60+

I love my Worked HMK skillet for my big fatty dabs. But i've hit domes too and they are just as nice with a Ti nail. So really the choice is yours on which one you like the look of more.

I don't whip my erl at all. It gets the hot water bath and now vac purge. This keeps that sexy oil consistency that we all love, while still getting out most of the butane like whipping does. =P

great tips PMW.

i've seen vids where they 'cook' the oil on an electric stove for a while scraping it round to get the butane out. you guys think thats enough or is a vac n pump setup a must? it like triples the cost of the setup almost.

Heat purging works great for us. Just be sure to work it until you don't see any bubbles. Oh yeah and take lots of sample hits.....you know......quality control We use a coffee mug warmer and ceramic dishes.

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

AMEN!!! chief QC officer I shall be. i think ill go with the dome, i cant really see me ever wanting to do massive dabs tbh, last couple of batches i made near killed me. tried to make the canna cigar with fan leaves and nugs glued together with erl. the cigar was a fail but the erl coated nugs were lethal after.

 

[Dropastone]

Dry is forsure better, But i don't agree with grinding materials for my first run(imo). I break down nuggs to about in between the size of a dime and nickle and pack it tight as shit. When running whole nugg you will get a lighter colored, better tasting, higher quality oil. But once thats done purging and out of my pyrex dish i take out the buds and THEN grind them to a powder and do my 2nd run. But i also have two dishes so i can keep them seperate.

Different strokes for different folks i guess =P

Yeah breaking down to get better more even flow is better I think, but grinding into a powder would create a paste (I would think) that wouldn't really let the tane flow well..


I grind all my nugs before running with a 4 piece space case grinder, it breaks them up into chunks rather than dust... about the width of an eraser, perfect

And nice pickup on the SGW. The only thing i can say is you are absolutely gonna need a different nail if thats the one it comes with. That nail is too short, making it too close to the male joint which means when your heating it your gonna be heating up that male joint just as much as the nail. This could end up cracking your rigs downstem really fast.

PMW Thanks for the tip and I'll be sure to keep an eye on it. Just a thought, wouldn't the water in the pipe help to dissipate the heat? I don't know I'm a virgin to all this but I'll definitely keep it mind.

Thanks for all the tips guys.

oil dome


vac purging your oil into some sap is what I like

It's very stable I can hold it in my hands


I don't get how glass doesn't break though. Youd think the ice cold butane would make it brittle??

http://okief.com/bho1.html

Im using that it's awesome...

 

[Greather420]

Hey all! Just did a batch of the sticky stuff for a patient\friend and thought I would share the results with all of you. Just figures that when we do runs for other people it is always a heavy yield and when we run ours.......well you get the idea. These first two pictures are of the first pre purge and the first scrape. Enjoy!

 

[Greather420]

Here are some pictures of our latest batch of errl (which is a mix of banana & ak48 sugar trim) thru it's different stages of heat purging.

First Melt


STIR!!!


Second Melt

Final Product....MOON ROCK!

This is the second run we did with our new tube. Turned out really nice and the finished product is MUCH more than the first time! We also really like the end product...melts into an oil instantly when heated and smokes nice and clean, and what's even better is it is soft enough to shape and not sticky at all, so you can work it with your fingers....still haven't figured out the mechanics on why it's a different consistency every time though; we guess it has something to do with the quality of the trim to start with. Any guesses?

im going to hold off till i crop next and get a piece from aqualabs to fit my existing bong the sum total of which wont add up to the cost of the attachment they charge like 30$ to ship to uk, my glass tube is near 3 times the size and only cost 16$.

i guess the glass is tempered, i mean if it can take a blow torch im sure freezing it wont be a prob but i dont know much about it science wise.

Greather that looks like some bitchin bho! how much trim went in?

It was just over an ounce. It is very tasty!

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

nice return well done. all sugar trim no nugs? not doubting just curious as to what i should be expecting out of my trim. think ill be investing in a little electric stove thing too.

 

[Greather420]

It was all sugar trim; very frosty sugar trim, but not buds this time. Now, for next time.....well, lets just say we were VERY picky with the lower nugs from our last plant....lol, ended up with half the lower buds in with the trim, so can't wait till it's dry! We'll see if it makes a difference in yield. As it is we have enough nugs to fill our smaller tube a time or two! We'll post pics when done, of course!

It's just a stainless steel tube open on each end.... I'm sure there are UK companies that sell the exact same thing



Just be careful with the glass..... I mean glass nails break all the time with the heat... you just don't want that tube to shatter or something if the pressure gets built up!

Lots of pressure with the butane, if you pack it tight.... so it's Cold + Pressure not just the temperature
