is that what you are getting after you winterize? the left over debris and "unwanteds"
a lot of that looks like you didnt use enough coffee filters initially, and/or you got debris flying around and into your liquid..

there was a few extra green chunks in my oil than normal... I wasnt as concerned as them as normal because I knew this was going through filters. I used 2 filter in the extractor and the oil looked perfect except for a few green chunks. maybe 20 or 30 or so tiny tiny specs from when I pulled the butane can out or something. but yeah. those are the plant waxes at the time, and a day after. you can see in the first pics the clouds in the oil that form once you pour the everclear in... thats your plant waxes. try it, trust me.
ya know that feeling after you guys exhale? that painful feeling, intense coughing and a scary burn where youre scared youre gonna suffocate? (or am i the only one?). well there is no more of that after the everclear (or maybe even 99% iso would work great too)
sorry if its offensive but im not gonna sugar coat it. your lungs are not something you wanna fuck with, and if youre trying to defend the plant waxes and continue to smoke them, thats your choice. fine with me but im going to try not to smoke them anymore. your lungs are a serious thing, im only trying to help you guys.
fadedawg. whats your opinion on winterizing/plant waxes? do you smoke un-winterized BHO fadedawg?

next time I make oil ill use a ton of filters again, and really make sure to get no weed crumbs in there. will also take pictures and weigh how much im losing. pretty sure its an insignificant amount really. and youre getting rid of the worst thing in BHO (getting rid of the weak link so to speak) ie: the waxes. not sure what the next worse would be after than and how to refine it even more, but thats another story.
pour 2 or 3 liquid ounces of everclear (maybe even 99% iso) into a dish, put your BHO into it. let it dissolve for 10 mins. shake it up a bit.
freeze it for 24 hours.
filter it. quickly and keep it cold.
re evap it on hot plate outside and/or vac chamber.
takes an extra 25 hours and the change in your pocket. its your fuckin lungs guys, come onnnnn!!!!!!!

vac your 100% right! the point of making bho is so your not smoking the green matter making it healthier bho vs herb.leaving the waxes/shit in makes no sense knowing how easy it is to remove them. i hate that breath after a good bho hit, like a shot to the gut! i cant wait to see the difference in my oil. also i have read if your oil is rich in cbn it will never "budder" up. ill find the thread and repost so you guys can check it out.

I wasn't terribly concerned about my lungs in the first place...or i wouldn't have began smoking. That's why i'm easing my way into more and more pure concentrates. Taking my time and having fun with it. If i start to get all worried or rush into things then it's no longer fun and becomes work. I'm glad you're ambition is focused into pure concentrates for healthier smoke, hope to see some great stuff from you soon.
My next run will be soaked in a thermos. All bud. Then winterized for sure. Hell, i'm never gonna know how much better it feels on the lungs till i try. I don't doubt i'll be impressed. I can only get 91% iso locally, but i can also buy everclear a block from my house. Everclear would be the better choice right?? I only expect to yield about 2-4 grams of oil with each of my soaks, small runs are all i do currently. OH!-i seriously couldn't find a SS baster locally, called everywhere i could think of. The local head shop says that the shop in Washington carries glass tubes but still kinda iffy about bringing any in here...maybe i can convince to bring one in just for me
i do plenty of business there as it is, loyalty to one shop seems to pay off in the end. So you don't want to warm the BHO/Everclear mixture to help dissolve? Like slightly warm? Since i'm only doing small runs I'm feeling the cost of Everclear will seem very minimal...like prolly only use 8-12oz a month haha.

Feels like i just inhaled super glue.....minus the taste ya know....goes in dank then my lungs are like stuck haha but that's usually a pretty big dab. Smoking just flower doesn't do it too bad. I have gotten the same feeling from a thick vape hit though, prolly had burnt the waxes with the temp too high.

do it, you wont regret it. the feeling after exhaling as awesome. gotta try it to know what I really mean.
everclear is a better choice. I asked in another thread and they confirmed that everclear is better than 99% iso.
just order an extractor off ebay. dirt cheap.
yes, I believe warm everclear and bho helps dissolves the BHO. just speeds up time. turns it from 3 minutes to 1 minute. not a huge deal. one thing I didnt try though is if you dont let 100% of the butane evaporate... just evap 80% of the butane so it stays a thin, liquid. then pour the everclear into that and do your thing. I evap all butane so its a sticky oil, then pour in everclear and swish for 10 mins, might be easier to not fully evaporate all that butane right off the start. and yes, that 30$ of everclear will last you 6 months. also works awesome for cleaning sticky oil tools/bongs, etc... just a tiny splash on a rag will clean ANY weed related item back to perfection from a gummed up grinder to a sticky bong slider to a hoot that you couldnt finish and dripped off the dabber onto the table or the side of the bong

So the last couple times i've just let the butane boil off at whatever temp it was outside. The last two times it was 40F or less. Not much bubbling going on in the pan. Took a good 1.5-2hrs to boil off...and BOTH times it seemed like the butane found some holes in the parchment paper or something, maybe actually just soaked through. Not a huge deal, each time i was able to easily scrape the pan with a razor to recover the tiny amount that managed to "leak" through. I don't want this to happen again, and i'm not sure why it's happening now when it hasn't the last 8 or so times i've used it with butane. I've tried to use it with Iso before and it def seems to soak through the parchment paper a little bit. I def want more of a thicker permanent/reusable solution. Like the oil-slick.

I just closed out my bank account at wells fargo so i'm waiting to open another account before i can order an oil slick pad...also a slick ball for storing the concentrate.
Also looking into getting more seeds. More fruity and heady herb again, 8-9wk flower times, decent yields...i would rather the quality of the bud be better and sacrifice a little yield if need be. My girlfriend really wants Strawberry Cough and I'm fairly set on Pineapple Chunk...but my last two seeds from Barney'sFarm have either been really tough to grow compared to my TW and LCOG, or somewhat of a bad seed. And the first Pineapple Chunk seed i got a long time ago just didn't germ after 8days and i've never had an issue getting seeds to germ after 3-4 days max. So i'm just a little weary getting anything from Barney's Farm again, there are plenty of other breeders to choose from now days. I'm not saying Barney's Farm is shitty by any means...obviously they have great results and so have other ppl.
Any suggestions on strains? Great White, Super Lemon Haze, Blue Monster Holk, just a few that i saw and liked...i used to have "wish i could grow" list going but i lost it a long time ago. Been a long time since I've just sat around and looked through seed sites.
I also have a max height of about 4.5-5 ft tall in my room but i'm not afraid of sativas.

TW is one of my staples, but I suggest that you try Cheese for an aromatic and tasty vaporization extract.

I just checked out the oil slick site and see that they sell PTFE(teflon) in sheets. SWEET! I did a research paper on PTFE when i was going to college for Materials Engineering. Focused the paper around the Elixer-Polyweb guitar strings that are coated with PTFE for decreased corrosion especially for people who live near salt water/humid places.Should have stuck with it but i was still too unsure what i wanted to do for a living. I'm not in any college debt though, or anymore debt at all for that matter. So right now i'm pretty free to do what i want again...just looking for the next place to live that's warmer than where i'm at now. Just tired of having either winter or cold weather 7months out of the yr.
