Why does everyone want to recover it ....the price of butane and ethanol it really isn't that expensive

and it can be even less expensive with recovery, as well as less trips to the store, and or shipping..
i personally dont recover. but sure would love to not have to worry about running out so fast..
bottom line, recovery saves you money. probably helps the environment out too :]

Would def benefit ppl who have to buy onlilne ya
recovering barely even adds any time to the process of extracting. You're going to have to evap anyways, why not recover. If I use strictly Everclear for my extractions i estimate using 1.5-2.5L/month....that more than pays for my car insurance if i can recover 90% of it. Plus i just think all of this stuff just makes it more fun and satisfying...i'm kind of a lab geek though. and sure why not do your part and reuse-recycle, not gonna hurt my feelings if you don't

Some TW with a wk left...or however long i feel like flowering it, for ONCE i'm not living harvest to harvest haha! Smells great! The trichomes on her don't get very tall or "fat" but after a while she looks covered in powdered sugar
......where as my vvvLCOGvvv has nice tall trichomes and plenty of them with the aid of SSU.
This is the last of the LCOG to come down, the rest came down 1wk ago. I'd say i have more trichomes currently...hope the high has more to offer as well
From my second soak using butane. 3.5hrs with agitation from glass stir rod once and 1 real quick follow up rinse with 10 seconds from the can of butane. I think i'm going to be happy with the result.
It's in a small pyrex bowl in the freezer currently awaiting filtration. Now i get to hurry up and wait
Lights out...Zzz

headband butane
winter mix

Looks good man, maybe more on the sedative side? Or what's the overall effect from your headband bho. I have had headband once and was some pretty good stuff for sure.

headband is the strongest oil i have ever smoked, really sedative. ive made probably about half a lb of it. The smell is really unique as well, but the high really lays you down. all my headband has come from someones last years massive harvest. there was about 70lbs of trim going around initially... i hopped on the band wagon too late, its all gone now :[headband butane
winter mix

started heat purge on 4-29 @ 2am
the bottom winterized mix is my buddies accumulation of trim. Hes a pretty new grower as well, so his stuff is aigh..
with this winter run, it turned into the oil, shatter fairly quick, at a low heat (118F)
4-29 @ 9am
i then bumped it up till 130ish, got my pk to wax at that heat, but the winter mix just kept purging little bubbles, like it was waxing..
so about
4-29 @ 5pm
headband is waxing up, winter mix sorta just stopped.
4-30 @ 2am
turned up heat to 135F
4-30 8 am
headband is has finshed waxing,
winter run pretty much half waxed. ugly dark color though,( its over a year old accumulation of trim)
winter smoke report....
the smoke lacks aroma, and flavor, but i had zero coughing, which was kind of incredible..
im going to be trying this out a bit more often...
its very very simple, just takes a few more steps..

I used headband oil on my first batch of crazy edibles, those things were reallyyyy fun to be on. didn't go through the decarbing process.
and like i mentioned above, the smell is soo unique, which also carries over to the taste.
if you have ever smoked headband, and recalled its unique flavor, then you tried the oil, you could easily relate the two.

how do you decarb your oil?

i usually do it right before i make my edibles...
i melt down about a stick of butter to 190F-220F
i then stir in my hash oil.. i mix continuously for 7-10 minutes,
i then remove from heat, and chill in freezer till butter is 80F, then continue onto my edible making..
soo, i would sayyy, my process involves 7-10 minutes of 190_-220F heat.. my heat source is a pool of hot butter, so its pretty consistent..
I've referred to this as my decarb bible

im still learning..
according to this, i think 250F for 20 minutes is the way to go..
but these guys heated up oil on glass, not oil in butter oil..

NICE! i'd like to try that headband oil out camping
I just took a couple dabs in a row, mmmmmmmm mmmmmm gooooood. off to work
headband camping.. maybe one day we'll take a good trip
dabs in a row, slowwww down
jk
i miss coughing.. winterized dabs are making it too easy, we need to make it harsh with butane and chemicals so we get pierced lung feeling. thats whats up
then people will think its stronger! yeyy
