i think i put a little under an oz into this run,

about
13.5 intto A
14.5 into B

this was from the all nugs batch, A is straight nug, while B is the nugs ground down..

Dry Muffin weights bottom pic


not one lick of heat, all fan
How many cans of butane? Just so i can compare my yield/butane ratio.

IMG_20130418_190527_346.jpgbefore winterizing. my butane boiled off at outside temp around 35F, took a while and i didn't use a fan because i don't want to stir up dust in my garage(old garage with no power to it). The parchment weighs 0.44grams so around a 1.82gram yield or 13%. Used majority of a can for the first soak(1hr) and the rest of that can and about 10-15sec of the next can for 2nd soak(2-2.5hrs). So i'm guessing around $8 in butane...plus i will be measuring the amount of everclear i use to estimate that cost. Just because. I feel like i could have extracted more if the soak was slightly warmer but at the cost of a little more butane due to it possibly boiling off a bit, and i like to make sure the material is always covered in butane.

I'm going to have fun experimenting with different temp of extractions since i have another approx 4oz of LCOG coming down here in a bit(grown mainly under a 150hps but damn did it turn out great, post pictures at harvest time)

this has been difficult! i actually have no idea how much weight i blasted... i lost track, 5 ish tubes, and i think i packed around 100 grams a tube.. 4 hours for 5 tubes, 16 cans of tane ( i used 4 on one tube).. 2 hours to finally get muffin, time to set up the heat and sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
im pooooooooooped

can't wait to see what your yield!

As for my mirror situation. I plan of having a piece of plywood under the mirror with my warming pads between the wood and mirror. Level it and clamp it down. After i scrape the mirror i'll flip it over so dust doesn't settle on it, i'll probably end up cleaning it with Iso or more Everclear after each use, or right before each use. Like i said won't get to try it until late tonight if i only want to do a 24hr winterize(better than nothin). I don't really want to be scraping ON 420 so i'll be doing it late tonight. Atleast i still have some absolute left til then :)

So @ SkunkPharmResearch site they made a home made vaporizer using 2-150whalogen lights and a dimmer switch for the heat source and a pyrex test tube for the vaporizing chamber. http://skunkpharmresearch.com/vaporizing-oil/

Check it out, i wonder if i could just buy a test tube and just use my torch on the pyrex tube to vaporize the oil inside instead of worrying about the halogen light setup. Seems like it should work fine i just don't know how the test tube would handle being heated with the torch repeatedly.
What do you guys think? I have this GRAVLABs mini steamroller i use once in a while and i was wondering if could just throw some shatter/absolute in the bottom and heat it but idk...i think curiosity is going to get the best of me and i'm gonna have to try it lol.
IMG_20130419_090534_285.jpgthrow the oil just inside on that left end then just plug the holes and heat.
IMG_20130419_085439_356.jpgall cleaned up and ready for my morning bake. my glass is cleaned as soon as it looks like it's starting to yellow as to keep the taste nice and fresh :)

i think you will be just fine with the steam roller, clean her up, and just plug up your carb. me thinks you gonna have to torch and hit at the same time, you dont wanna get that thing all molten hot every time, then dab..

inspiring cleanings! i think i'll do the same for the holidays !

You can vaporize oil with a lighter in a test tube, just be careful not to overheat, so that the oil combust and leaves black soot inside. You can also heat borosilicate with an open flame, but they eventually will crack if you also don't periodically relieve the thermal stresses by re-annealing them. As they cost less than a buck a piece, you can also just throw them away when they crack.

TEST RUN!

rinsed out some jars with 91%Iso and filtered through 25micron...i've said 28 previously but i just looked and it's 25...big whoop. Actually used a space heater to speed up the process. I noticed a few specs show up and a couple dog hairs lol so i probably won't use a fan anymore. Used my 91%iso to clean the mirror and actually used a white dish cloth that doesn't leave behind fibers. Looked very clean before hand. Got a little carried away and dropped too much iso in a couple spots so it ran really close to the sides. Hurray for test runs!
IMG_20130419_122441_873.jpgit had a decently nice yellow color to it...pretty light color though.

loll, do the flame test, if it dont spark and crackle, youd be safe.. did you try throwing that into the vacuum? any need?

no idea about the backspace attachment thing, that happened to me on the very first post on this thread!

Level App on the phone, LOL

COOL, i can run my finger across the film and nothing sticks it just feels really dry and chalky almost. then after i scraped up that little bit(haven't finished scraping) and it sat on the razor for ten minutes it's gotten a lot darker and really sticky :) i'm now questioning smoking it so much now!

Flame test was clean!

Not only just the bubble level but gives it to you within a tenth of a degree haha, don't know if it's completely accurate BUT the really funny thing is that this must be the only fucking level spot in my old ass 1931 house haha! i just threw it down and it was good to go

Tastes not too great but it's smooth, and i just got ripped again after already being pretty high. I'm actually surprised how high i am right now, head-legs-arms all feel like they got rushed with a semi warming sensation. My head is feeling that slight "pressure" on the side as my eyes increase their sharpness but decrease focus haha! did not expect to feel this

After taking a closer look at the mirror before scraping it appeared that the white cloudy stuff could possible be fats or waxes because actual oil gathered in droplets around the perimeter of the white milky shapes. Maybe i should just collect and save this shit then winterize it sometime see what happens??

-7grams trim + 7grams bud(chopped half-dime size) LCOG
-Material slightly packed into prechilled 16oz thermos and chilled for another 20hrs...temp gun read 0F inside thermos.
-Blasted most of 1 can to cover material and soak for the 1st hr, then strained through mesh ss strainer over 25micron screen over dish
-Immediately blasted the rest of the 1st can and 10-15seconds of the next can for 2nd 2hr soak. Then strained through the same mesh ss strainer over 25micron screen over dish
-Butane boiled off in dish at ambient temp with no air circulation while being covered. Recovered 1.82g with parchment weighing .44g
-No pics of the winterizing process but i combined the BHO with approx 32.5ml of Everclear and warmed in a 90F waterbath and agitated until completely dissolved then threw on a lid and into the freezer for 24hrs with one time where i removed lid and swirled around to check it out.
-After 24hrs winterizing there was a nice separation of waxes and crap, so i filtered through 25micron screen into wine glass, seemed to work nice. I left the wine glass in freezer while filtering and during the whole process.
-Then i used a dropper to spread the solution over the mirror and with only the one warming pad in the center it still only took around 4-5min before nearly all had evaporated, but i wasn't exactly timing things so lets just say not very long time to evap.
-Used a pair of pliers with the razor to ease the effort and all was going very well until 80% complete when i just start into a scrape and half of the blade snaps along the top from the hole all the way over...shot what little shatter was on the blade into my eye and all over the place, i kinda laughed at first until the oil in my eye started getting sticky but it's all good i just don't think i was paying attention to how hard i was bending the blade.
-All scraped up with no vacuuming to help purdy it up, yielding me about 1.47g so I lost about .35g in wax. 15.5%
-Still worth it for how smooth it is, this is my most taste product yet, wonder if it's due to very little heat application.
....sorry i'm really tired but let me know if i missed something...i'm ready to pass out and re-energize for tomorrow!!!
PEACE!
