well now we've devolved to what seems to be a reoccuring argument for me around here: I make statement A, present my Experiences B and provide links to research C that all back up my claim A. Then some netizen comes along, tells me A isnt so because they know better, then proceeds to ignore...

From the wiki on iso: "Isopropyl alcohol dissolves a wide range of non-polar compounds." Invalidates your claim of "When winterizing you redissolve in a polar solvent iso will work but etoh is best these non polar waxes then precipitate out." So come now, qwiso, theres no need to "set me...

I'm not trying to be mean either :). I understand your looking down on butane, most commercially available butane simply isnt, lol, and the ones marketed as "pure" are the ones least likely to be so... Hexane works well (the few times I've used it, the toxicity requires a good...

I rather plainly stated the research, experience, and logic that led to these conclusions, though your experience may vary and you are certainly entitled to your own interpretation about the data my experiments have yielded... but if I may, I'd posit the queries: what brand butane do you use...

OP - if you cant use butane ( I assume no place to evap or is regulated), you should try limonene or ethanol instead of iso. The reason I dislike iso is because its actually a fairly reactive substance, it oxides THC down to CBN very quickly when the two are in open air (in a vacuum with no O2...

Those exist - they are called skillets or sometimes hot knifes/spoons. Works with oils/concentrates. They have some issues - they must be heated underneath with a flame (leads to easy scorching) or the oil must be smooshed with a hot knife, and the flat nature of the ledge causes the oil to run...

Kudos! What size mesh did you use/where did you source it? Plenty would like to know - including myself! I've tried the gold coffee filter meshes, but they were too fine...

Yeah, it works. You will be left with suspended plant particles (impossible to strain VG/PG with home coffee filters etc bc viscosity is too high) because the hash is not pure lipids, and they will burn, but ecigs coils burn anyway, so it shouldnt matter much.

Those "disposable vapes" are really just standard direct drip disposable ecigs. They are marked up about 1000% percent in price from standard non-rebranded ecigs. As with any disposable battery, they are quite toxic to landfill. They use a nichrome coil heating element that gets far far above...

You may pass the saturation point if you use too much extract in your alcohol, as alcohol dissolves cannabinoids poorly. The first step you list is unnecessary - Dont use iso to extract, just use ethanol from the get go. Sine you want something super-concentrated, I'd avoid using alcohol to...

Are you suggesting a mod, have you done one? I'm always interested in opening up the commercial products and making them better. Let us know op :)

Just popping my head in to tell the OP to check out my Vapor Volumes, especially the "apparatus" section. There you will find a complete rundown of all current vaping methods and utensils. Many (most) of the options out there either combust instead of vape, or are made with unsafe materials, or...

I understand your conundrum, truly I do. So many vapes claim to be "all glass" and have a "ceramic heating element", but the vast majority of these use metal and plastic in the vapor path and most use nichrome/kanthal heating elements. The Eclipse, like ball pipes and lightbulb vapes, only...

greenghost, you should be able to press that if you wrap it into a bundle in some tan unprinted grocery bag plastic and press under light heat briefly, like a clothes iron on lowest without steam, or on the metal stovetop while oven is on

butane dissolves the lipids from the trichomes, not the trichomes themselves. it also bursts the cell walls and pulls all the secondary cannabinoids contained within. it also grabs the terpenes and essential oils at the same time. you are confusing "dissolve" with "react". if you dissolve table...

I'm not saying you're wasting trichomes, just cannabinoids. marijuana contains cannabinoids inside the cells, not just on the trichomes. I'm confused about your rant about the stuff you leave for the goats - it seems to have nothing to do with bho or the conversation. moreover, butane is...

What method did you use? Butane trickle through pipe, or jar/thermos soak method? I usually get 7.5-9g using the jar soak method and some low grade medicinal buds, 4-5 using the wild uncultivated herb that grows in the woods here, but they arent very seeded. You're right that sensimilla produces...

Volcano uses a nice ceramic heating core, but then introduces a ton of metal mesh and plastic into the vapor path (more than their competitors), so I find them a bit harsh. Maybe I can shed some light on what I mean by the hot air being irritating: while cannabinoids vape at around 380F...

looking good greenghost! beauty bubble, lovely color. does look like you should've pulled the seeds before running the oil, maybe left it in the butane less (is a bit green), but frankly the extra plant lipids shouldnt hurt ya, just lowers the potency a tinge. as long as it tastes good ^.^

lab planet, chemglass, I can vouch for either of these vendors for fritted discs. avoid buying these from AMA or eBay, the resell cost is too much, but any good lab supplier will have what you want for around five bucks. get extra course grade, and wide enough to cover your bowl but not fall...
