"have your honey oil hard by placing it in the freezer for 10-20 min for the best result have your water as pure as possible boiling, filtering and leaving it out for 24 hour will all better the result now use the water which u have perpared nd pour onto the oil swishing it back and forth u with see a very thin layer raise to the top of the water which would be the waste get rid of it nd do it one more time then re cook ur oil for smooth perfection" -mr.budder

I have never even tried this posted method of rinsing multiple times... I have just used warm water in the oil dish in the past beacause I felt it made collection easier... This topic just interested me because I never really thought of it as "rinsing" my oil but liked the idea of it... No matter how clean these solvents are they still scare me... and water does not...

"isn't terpene responsible for a lot of the smells and flavors? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terpene why would i want to remove that?" -fdd2blk

This is an excellant point too... I guess the only way to tell would be to experiment on the SAME batch of oil and decide for yourself...
im gonna do it this week sometime and post results... it would be cool if someone else was willing to give it a shot too so we could have a better idea of how this works...

"and dont strip out plant matter such as chlorophyll"
what is your source of information for such a statement?

it may not be in a lab but why dont you try running butane through the same batch over and over again and then tell me how it tastes okay?? it will definitely strip other stuff out

and how is youir side of the fence being scientific?? by saying im older and have more posts?

please teach me all the scientific facts you know about this subject!!

go dig through my posts on this matter..... I presented scientific information, with links and such if you would like/have the ability to read/understand such materials ;)...... nobody else has presented ANYTHING besides personal opinion/"experience" for the other "side of the fence"...... come back with an argument and we can have a debate.

Exactly... thats why there is a bud/butane ratio... so you dont start pulling unwanted crap... and who is to say that our 80% THC oil doesnt have any of this other crap in the other 20% even when following the correct bud/butane ratio?

yes i made a statement about my experiences but never claimed it to be scientific... i was just curious why he thought one side of the fence was taking a scientific approach and the other side was not?? i dont see that anywhere... someone show me.

"i let my oil DRY for a week or two. NO purging, heating, boiling, rinsing. "

i roll the same exact way, im all about the cure and letting turn into a much easier to handle powder product, but i usually give a quick rinse IF i have the distilled water, if i dont then i dont worry about it... both ways taste great... im just saying that rinsing doesnt hurt a thing (in my experience) and perhaps there is something to it.

The water trick seems like a waste. A lot of us aren't trying to do something with gallons of trimmings. I couldn't see how that could improve purity at all.

Anyone know what the ratio of bud to butane should be?....a general rule of thumb?

Also...does anyone use carbon steel pipe for their extractor?

I explained the science of oil extraction using solvents a few pages back. Evidently when people hear science they just skip to the next post.

i dont think water is a good idea on ur oil it may wash somthing off, but how do u know 100% sure that it is somthing bad ur washing away, it could be good. and also i would think the water would degrade, and lose a lil bit of yeild to the oil, and take longer to dry. what u see in your pan on top of the water is prob just some old dust particales in the pan u used or somthin,

The main reason not to wash your oil is because every chemical process and filtering proceedure causes end product to be lost. Another reason is that it makes little sense after a butane extraction.

A far better plan is just to use a well constructed extractor with the right screen.

"i still say ur losing on your yeild" -mcpurple

actually that would be the point... your attempting to wash away any impurities that may be in your oil... or residues that are left from the butane... in attempt to end up with a cleaner oil... the loss wouldnt even be noticible with how clean honey oil already is, and since no one can really say WHY NOT? to do it, I think its a great idea.

well since nobody can really say WHY to do it either, and HOW do u know it is washing away just impurities, and how do u know it isnt washing somthing good out. U DONT. im just sayin i would do this to my hash oil, ever unless it is proven, to work, witch i dont really think it does, but im not sayin others shouldnt do it. but i wont. mine taste just fine the way it is,
