Wow, very impressive. Alas way too expensive and very much over the top. My low tech unit that i designed and built would out perform this bitch for a fraction of the cost.
I sent my best friend off to the other side, euthanized my 17 yr. old cat raised from a kitten. He was very ill but still a gamer, heart of a lion. There is an time honored Gaelic cure for melancholy, single malt scotch whiskey. The Laphroaig Quarter Cask, a gem of a dram from the place of the...
Controlling the temperature of your solvent and the sample matrix are essential as well as the pressure applied and how much back pressure created by the density of the sample matrix, as solvent carrying oils does more work creating a cascade effect, dictating the length and girth of tube...
Ok BHO lessons 101: Dry, Powder, and Stuff. Prepare stuffed tube and butane by cooling as much as possible. Butane is a heavy gas ergo does a lot of work lower temp will decrease that work and free the trichomes creating desired balance for better results. Dry ice recommended and at $4/lb well...
Have to heat treat the bud in a dry steam autoclave @ 145 C for 30 hrs. to start with, in order to kill the cytotoxins, then cool, dry, powder, stuff, blast, winterize and filter. It is an epic effort and would only recommend for very very good bud.
Hay/Chlorine smell with the foul taste could be mold. I have seen and smelled a few moldy quantities of bud, having successfully recovered pounds of moldy buds into BHO. That hay and ammonia stench is synonymous with a moldy batch of bud IMO.
Have seen a grow where all of the strains seem to have a similar taste and smell whilst smoking. I was thinking that quite possibly the nutrients not being properly flushed from these plants was somehow overpowering the natural terpenes. Both smell and taste manifested though-out were very...
Cheap and effective. Go to the plumbing store and buy a length of 1.5 inch pvc pipe and some glue and two end caps. Cut a length of your piping somewhere around 10 inches ( one OZ = 6g oil ) and then one cap you will drill a hole right completely, through the center the diameter of the inside of...
I am old school and some times feel like my bag of tricks needs a serious upgrade. Rosin is new and puzzling. People groove on it but it is everything that I try to avoid except the thickness. The red colour from the heat, and really that much wax is overkill. Not to mention the misguided phobia...
I buy my solvents N-Butane and Propane in 120 lb. cans 20 imperial gallons per can at about $45 per and use one gallon for a sample matrix of 500 grams add 3.6 liters of methanol $35 and 2kg dry ice pellets $25 Adjusting the chemical bath temp and the gas mixture as well as the density of the...
In order not poisoning yourself or anyone else please purge your solvent properly. Blast into a metal container, then use cold water followed by hot then boiling water to degas, followed by heating the oil to 285/295 degrees F on a hotplate until all of the tiniest of bubbles/froth is gone and...
I believe in better living through science. My forte is blasting, degassing, filtering, polishing and processing BHO. I have been for many years and continue to learn. Hoping that the community here and I can garner from each other and move forward. Be calm and never surrender.
