Hey everyone!
I was pointed this direction by SirDabs and fuck do you guys got skills! I've done about 15 bho runs over the last year, always heat matting, finally getting into vac purge and winterizing my extracts!
My BHO backround started in 2006 when I was living in norcal around the hills of coastal mendo helping my girls uncle blast trim for the farms. This was by far the sketchiest BHO setup I'd ever run but I had no fucking CLUE! Not to mention how harsh the shit was I WISH I knew about dewaxxin...
Also we were running a 2in 4 ft long piece of pvc with a 3/4 ball valve at the bottom to "regulate" flow! We blasted directly onto glass doors and after a day in the sun got out the paint chipper and made our 50%!!! Never again lol!!!
I've been reading on this thread from page 1 to page 105 over the last few days and I'm jumping ahead just to show a little of my newer tweaked process based on so many of the contributions of this very thread, as well as the concentrate section of RIU!
Mad props to everyone for sharing the knowledge!
A basic run down of my process:
1. Usually my source flower/trim is decarbed so I throw the cans of tane as well as the trim/flowers into the freezer over night.
2. I pack the tubes the following day (ancient Chinese secret) and throw them back into the freezer while I set up the BHO station (table outdoors with wood sheet over the top).
3. Welders gloves check, safety goggles check, I like to blast 4 x 100g tubes at a time, 2 cans each... Picked up the tubes blown by buddy who is wax master for a MIP an follow his tech pretty closely. It's highly regarded by him and he's gotten one of the highest unbiased thc% in the CO industry as of yet!!!
4. Each tube is blown into its own 6 cup pyrex dish for individual purging, even like on this last run I used all Bubblegum but still did separate pyrex so as to control the purge even more. Once stopped purging at room temp I whipped the shit and scraped it up to throw on parchment and freeze to rework.
After the freezer, before the winterizing...
4 x 100g tubes came out to 48g frozen not yet fully purged Bubblegum YUMM!!!
5. Ok I had to rewarm the frozen false shatter in order to mix in the 190 everclear... nice and SLOW....
Prefroze my filter and glass for a few hrs before beginning filtration. Would pour some, stick back in the freezer, pour some more....
Once all is poured into the filter I recovered with foil and stuck back in freezer overnight...
6. This morning I pulled out the soon to be winterized meds and CHECK IT OUT!
My filter is FULL O WAX!!! Ouch no wonder my lungs been aching!
Is this finally the holy grail for non lung piercing oil rips?!!! Hope so
7. Pour nice and slow.... According to my wax master friend it is near impossible to wax decarbed meds... Don't really care myself I just need a clean product that I don't gotta rip 5x to get where I need to be
I KNOW you guys KNOW WTF I'm talking bout!!!!
8. This is where I'm at currently. A nice low temp heat pad OUTSIDE purging the vapors...
OK now I'm back to page 105 of this thread and will hopefully be caught up in a day or so!
Happy Dabbing
