Stew, you don't need a vacuum chamber, only patience and a little heat. The trick with BHO is getting the solvent to evaporate as fast as possible right from the start. I find the BHO to be a lot easier and for the most part cleaner than ISO. And it is beyond quick.Thunder. Can you PM me with a simple explanation of how to get BHO ready for smoking???
I just got my Butane in today, and I've got the Honey bee extractor. I have no vac purge(yet, literally going to buy one in a few minutes...)....
I have never done this before and have no clue what I am doing. lol
I seen the video's and all that. but Someone on here seems more reliable than someone i have never heard of with a single video up on youtube. lol......
If you're too busy it's all good. I can do some research.
For pure shatter that will pass the flame-test every time, what I personally do is:
Get stuff ready, fill tube with trim/bud whatever you are using. Place a PYREX glass bowl inside a big pot with hot water. Bring water to near boiling point. TAKE IT OUTSIDE. Do extraction right into the Pyrex bowl in the hot water, I have a respirator I use during this, but just staying upwind works great most of the time. Far as the extraction goes, as soon as butane starts dripping in let go and let it all run out, don't just keep spraying it through. Kinda 'dab' at it till you can see the amount of oily residue in the bottom is not increasing any longer, your source material is spent at this point.
Remove the bowl and put it down on a heating pad. It only needs to sit like this for a few hours AT MOST to be completely clean. It should scrape off the bowl as flakey crystals once it has cooled down. Makes this little crunchy sound as I scrape it. Don't scrape before it is cooled. Press the 'shards' together, a little bit of heat from your fingers should get it pliable enough to do that. Get a tiny bit on a pin and pass a flame under it. Crackling or sizzling or whatever like mentioned is NOT good. Not to worry if this is the case, it just goes straight back onto the heating pad. Should not be needed at all though, but dodgy butane can take a LONG time to purge completely.
Easy as chips.
