BHO with Vacuum oil/wax tutorial

looks yummy. how do you get it so golden!!!

is the bottom of your vac-it pro lid starting to crack yet?? just tiny surface cracks in the bottom skin of it.

well, i was actually expecting to get a really blonde color out of this.. i thought the earlier you harvested, the lighter the color..


im very pleased with the deep amber color coming out..

here is a better pic for ya :]]

been about 20 hrs since first vac

i got no cracks yet! vac it pro has been hanging in there for me

keep an eye out on the bottom of the lid. Ill bet money that it gets the same hairline cracks as mine does.. its weird. maybe theyre not cracks.

also, I find that the bottom of the lid builds up an oil over time.. it gets greasy. could that be from the pump oil or what?

how often do you need to change the pump oil?

will my pump oil smell like honey oil?

it should not be greasy inside your chamber!

i used to have problems with my vac shooting oil back through my tube into my chamber, i once had a 1/2 oz of actual fire wax, ended up being covered in the oil for the pump, ruined!

i now make sure my vac is on the ground, and my chamber is above it.. i also make sure to close off my valves before turning of my vac. I see swirly marks showing up on my lid.. but no cracks, no grease.. i have never changed my oil, or refilled it

my oil reading still says i got some in there..

i should probably change it..

anddd. i dont know about the oil smell.. my room smells like honey oil 24/7 ..its hard for me to detect a weed smell..

yeah as long as the ball valve is closed before you turn pump off, then opened after you turn the pump on, there shouldnt be any problems.

maybe you just need to use yours more and a film will form. mine has held vacuum for around 20 or so days now, and just the bottom of the lid is getting a little slick from something, not sure what it could be from.

lolllll. 20 days under vacuum!! is that getting you anywhere??? what heat do you have yours at? are you trying really hard to save your goo?

Check it out, i went ahead and made a video here..

im pretty sure i covered the whole process here..

material is almost done! 142F 29.7 hg .. im just gonna let it run over night, post up pics in the morning!


edit:... so i said screwww it.. :]]



final temp was 144F..

the bubbling action was extremely slowwwwwwwww. like no bubbles for a almost a minute or so.. then a tiny one would come out.. so i took it out.

the texture is pretty fun.. it crumbles, yet its kind of sticky... i like itttttttttttttttttt. no crackle!

she tastes goooooooooooooooooooooooood

Purdy color!

sooo, after smoking a little bit last night, i decided to throw back into vac.. turned up heat to about 148F full vac over night. not ,much happened..

it must be because were using sativas vs indicas but my oil at 150f is nothing like that!!!!! wtf. so frustrating.

that wax I bought was from this young guy that hasnt made much BHO before. he made it with tiny sugar leaves that he trimmed off of poorly trimmed buds. used a lb or so he said and got 70 grams return. just over 13% or something. but it is very very good shit, and turned to wax from being put over hot water. ive been making it for 4 years, ive made it with 30g of pure crystal one time and didnt get anything like his... wtf?!

I threw some into the chamber, and it did purge some butane out, and then turned into the typical old oil. I was around 130-140F and full vacuum for 2-3 days.

ive had my desiccator for around a month now and its been under full vacuum 90% of the time with something in it.

You can't just jump to 150. Took me about 20 hours till I hit 150.. 115f is a good temp to start at, once you've achieved muffin. And remember to adjust heat at a slow rate.. ... I've goooped up shit by just throwing it into 125f heat... That's why I start off so low on my temps..

thats the thing, ive never achieved muffin.

and dont take any offense to this, but I believe that the muffining is because it is severly unerpurged when youre putting it in the chamber, which is fine...youre vac purging it afterall.

ive only achieved a muffin once, and thats when I half assed boiled off the butane to try it on purpose. the oil was still 10% butane when i put it in pretty much lol.

I let my oil evap off in hot water, sometimes switching it out half ways all outside. then I bring it inside and will do the other .5% or whatever is remaining over the oven with very hot water. by then, its very purged. and warm.

if I were to put it directly into the chamber, there would be no muffins, which sucks, I think they are critical to the wax. I cant figure it out. its gotta be a sativa vs indica thing.

ALSO, the one thing my friend mentioned is that he puts his spray dish OVER a dish of hot water as he sprays so it evaporates instantly, whereas I let mine sit for the 3 or 4 cans, then cook it all off at once. could that be the difference?

no difference.. i have sprayed poools of tane into the pyrex, then boiled off, still get wax..

the input material, and its prep are keyyyyyyy

my input material is great. the one run I did was 14g of chopped, very stinky, crystally hindu kush. very potent shit,very strong indica I believe.

practice.. try following the steps in my video to a T.. see what happens.. you gotta monitor the bubbles though, they tell a lot

updates :]

This is called a "Muffin Bomb" (i came up with that! )



at room temp, i was trying to achieve my muffin, it was muffining up quite nicely.. so, i released vacuum, and tried to fold the muffin down, and well, BOOM! muffin chunks all over my shirt and floor! gahhh!!

so, i quickly grabbed as many chunks as i could, and gathered them right here.

pinched back into a muffin, and now, we are at 10HG, 110F on the melt down :]

BTW, im actually pretty happy to see this muffin! its from someone else, and this a test run, and i gots lotsssssss more! :]

BTW, this is my 2nd time experiencing the muffin bomb, i thought in would never do this again the last time

but the first time i did it was a different scenario..

after spraying , and before vacuum, i put my oil in the freezer.. i took it out a few minutes later, and put into vacuum.. boom! chunks all over my chamber.. that was a really big run too haaa,
hopefully this is the last Muffin Bomb i toss around..
