BHO with Vacuum oil/wax tutorial

almost too much. im beginning to wonder if its worth it. unless I can get it perfected where I can set it and forget it, I will probably be retiring my 400$ worth of equipment very soon... kinda sucks.

I havnt lost all hope yet. my current batch is still going. the temp was low last night so it didnt count.. it wasnt liquidy enough. I think the hottest the oil has got is 140. hope that didnt "burn" it and prevent it from becoming wax.

no that wouldn't mess it up

If your oil is that hot, and not bubbling,is it hard as a rock? Or does it slide around? If it's lets say 140, and sliding around , i would think you are not getting full vacuum..

I would test it out.. Heck up your heat , turn on vacuum, watch oil.. If it doesn't bubble at all after you'd say the oil was 150-160.. I'd just stop..

- that's an extreme test. Imo. So please only try that if you arntgetting bubbles..


As far as my batch went.. Im glad i stopped..

the oil was around 131 when i got home, full vac.. I still saw bubbles slowly purging..
took little chunk out, let it cool down.. Its now a little stickier than originally..

I feel i could potentially put oil back in vac, set to previous temp .. But im done with this batch..

Im happy that it is a nice fun taffy.. Doesn't stick to fingers. Nice melt. Looks decent.. This is not Goo to me. This is taffy..
Goo is where oil is sticky , and sometimes runs at room temperature..

taffy is my next best friend alongside wax.. Especially with unknown runs..

this is my version of taffy..

PUFFFFFFFFFFF CAAAFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF CAF, .

asocidsvdslkndscds. umm hmmmm yaaaa

well. my oil has been sitting in vac and on heat around 110 or 120f oil temp for like 3 days now. its definitely drying out, looks like its trying to become wax eventually. sure is taking long though. I wonder how much this griddle is gonna raise my power bill! its been on for 3 days straight now. probably 3 more too or more.

turn the heat up 10 degrees
my chamber is 130
take a picture too

yeah I turned it up a hair .the oil temp was 130. the outside edges are starting to look dry, chunky, and waxy. few more days still though for sure.

it seems like it works better when the pump is running, but I dont like leaving it run for 2+ hours at a time.

this is good, you are probably taking wayyy too long. but its better than rushing and melting.. sounds like its working though..


just got my new toy, gonna seal up the fittings, and hopefully i fall into some good trim soon here..

this POS vac it pro.. lost half its vac in 2 hrs.. i tightened alll the fittings too..

well, im JBwelding this beezy..

JB weld stats:

handles up to 3960 PSI

good with temps up to 550F

and, from my experience, JBweld rocks..

welding now :]

lol you must be doing something wrong, mine keeps its vac above 25hg for 2 days at least. I think the only thing that brings it down is the oil inside letting off fumes. I can get it as low as 27.5"

I think I let mine sit empty overnight and it lost like .5"

you probably over tightened them or didnt re tape the threads?

what if you sprayed some water and soap on the fittings, would it suck in the water and let you know where your leak is?

So for people who would have to do like a 1000 turkey baster runs, I found a larger extracting set-up. The product is called X-Tractor.

Looks like you could make one yourself with a large rubber stopper and s.s. tube, a screen and a hose clamp.

You might try smearing vacuum grease on the gasket.

Sometimes if you spray a leaking vacuum fitting with laquer, it will suck it into the gap and once it sets up, it will seal it.

If you have something outgasing inside the chamber, it will lose vacuum. Was it empty and dry when it lost vacuum?

alot of people forget that the bho is off gassing inside

early birds!

i dont know what the problem was. maybe i didnt have that little twisty thing on the side tightened enough?

ive since tested and held 29.5 29.7 hg :] for significant time.. im happy! im chopping down my ladies today! gonna have the trim very soon,


hey guys!
im used to habg dry, 5 days, chop down bag dry 2 days, trim cure..

with this harvest, im only looking to score a few nugs, and i want to convert most of it, trim nugs and all to bho.. how can i do this the quickest way possible?

just let it dry, my trim pro has a net bag and that shit is dry in 3 days

We chop down, remove the fan leaves, and hang upside down for 5 to 7 days, or when the small twigs snap, before either jarring for curing, or for oil extraction.

For a delight, we cut the fresh green buds up by hand using scissors, freeze them, and extract them with chilled butane. More attention to detail required, but a delightfully floral end poroduct.

well. let my oil sit for 10 days under vacuum. max temp its reached is 140. I give up, this isnt fun.

i am sorry to hear that some just dont wax

thats what has been happening this whole timeee!!

vacpurge, dont give up, just cuz you read a wholeeeeee lotta info, doesnt mean its cake, keep doing the practice runs..

i alwaysssss try to achieve wax, and fuck up pretty often, but i like the oils i come out with..

some stuff just aint gonna work.. buttt, you may have messed up along the way.. try it again, and again..

on to the next batch i say! small runs, make some wax !

or sell the shit, and vac and chamber, i recently was gifted some bombbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bubble hash IMO, it tastes soooo good, tops my oil/weed bowls quite nicely.. ..

prepared this masterpiece for the smoke before work in the AM :]



i myself cannot give up the process, im hoping to have a bout a qp of prime material coming up soon!
