Good afternoon everyone were good, talcum smell, sweet floral taste, very good, strong wave too as well, heavy.
36g extracts yielded 5.2g used gas r600, purged for approximately 19 hours at 34 degrees celcius

Any idea on how to get lighter bho it keeps coming out super dark..... Help please lol

To name a few:

Fresher material. Some constituents like anthrocyanin pigments darken as they age.
Early harvest. Clear trichomes produce a lighter extract than do amber trichomes.
Sativas typically lighter than Indicas
Higher ratio of Propane to Butane to limit longer chain molecules.
Sub zero extractions to limit longer chain molecules
Flood rather than soak.
Recover to high vacuum so as to produce cotton candy, which purges the raw oleoresin in bubble thin films.
Fast short final purge in vac oven in a thin film at <115F at -29.5" Hg, so as to not caramelize plant sugars

Great tutorial man thanks, set me on my way! Does anyone know whether if you mess the product up, can you go ahead and re-blast it and try and do the process again. Will that work ?

could you give some pointers on setting up a mason jar vac chamber?

yea its not going to hold its vac and yea just keep doing it longer

What can I be doing wrong with my oil I can't get it to turn to crumble I usually vac purge it for about 24to48 hours at 90 on a electronic heat pad that sticks to my chamber then I would turn up the heat to 140 until my oil turned to crumble but now some how it will turn to buttery wax then right back to wax is the temp not to high ?

After it's finished put it in a glass container/short cup(you can get them at bed bath and beyond by the glass pie dishes) put the container on a pancake griddle on the lowest setting for 2 to 3 days. Whip the oil every few hours and you'll get crumble. The longer you do this and the more you whip the more it turns to honey comb. Don't do this until you have fully purged your oil. Btw not trying to bash OP or talk shit but this tek is super out dated and unsafe. Look into a closed loop system and read up on distilling your butane before your run. Also please don't spray oil onto parchment or wax paper. This has been proven to be harmful. The silicon in the parchment paper leaches into the oil from the solvent sitting in it. Use glass.

When we want to turn shatter to crumble, after it is solvent bubble free at 115F and 10,000 microns/-29.5" Hg, we stir it to make it uniform, and then turn the temperature down to about 95F and continue to pump at 10,000 microns/-29.5" Hg.

Crumble is created when cannabinoid crystals precipitate out and granules of other material conglomerate around them. They precipitate out as a function of available points of nucleation to grow from, and a reduction in the solvents present to keep them in solution.

Those solvents include not only the solvent used to extract it, but terpenes that also act as solvents, because they are all alcohols, ethers, keytones, aldehydes, and esters.

The reason crumble is so aromatic, even with less terpenes, is that it exposes so much more surface area from which the terpene molecules can escape from.

So I've been blasting for a few years without purging the correct way. Decided to grab a vac and chamber the other day.



I was itching to try it out so I did a small run today, evaporated off the butane, then put the oil in the chamber. No heat.

Turned on the vacuum which made the muffin. Left vacuum on for 5 mins. Released vacuum.

Put chamber on heating pad (low setting) to melt the oil. Approx 20 mins.

No muffin pic, but here it is after the muffin and being heated up.




So after the oil melted somewhat, I continued on low heat with full vac for about 3 hours.

For some reason I was going to fold it on to itself ................ and it crumbled. I stopped and here it is.

Result:





It smells nice and smokes great.

What happened?
Too much heat? Not enough? Too soon? Too late?
Did I not melt the oil enough after the muffin?
Was the initial 5 min vacuum for/on the muffin too long? (It muffin-ed immediately btw)

Did this guy do something right?

Not even sure what I was looking for. My next goal will simply be to make a single pc of something pretty. lol
Did not know the temp of the oil, chamber, or heating pad.

I didn't read through the whole thread. Saving it for an up and coming camping trip.

Thanks for any and all tips or tricks.

Hi.
Gonna try BHO and i have this vac chamber with this pressure meter.
Would this be sufficent to make good vac purge?

So much amazing info. I dont like having to scrap honey oil off the glass, so from now on I'm doing this to make parchment paper trays and then place those in disposable oven trays

It only measures the purge, not control it, but you need a meter calibrated in inches of Hg, or in microns to see what is happening. Just 0.5 inches/Hg makes a big difference.
