Now you can make a safe clean product using butane and grain alcohol and a little common sense.With BHO, I don't understand when people add alcohol to it to winterize and other things I have read about. Why would you want to go through the butane extraction BS if you are going to add alcohol to it anyway?
Many of these methods I see as being extremely expensive and far more dangerous, with the product being no better if not worse than a basic 99% iso or 190 proof or higher grain alcohol extraction method.
The polarity difference is why we see it necessary to use the second solvent after blasting with butane. Iso and grain alcohol garb certain things like chlorophyll, which make your iso hash green and it will also grab water and water soluble things, which normally get frozen up if you make it properly. Butane grabs fats waxes and lipids, iso and grain alcohol do not grab these at below freezing temps, that is why we put in the freezer for 24 hours. and there in lies the reason we use dual solvents to produce what we call an absolute.
So far, all I have made is oil for the last three years. It has been one year now combustion free. I am perfectly happy with alcohol extractions. For smaller quantities, 2 ounces or less of material, I like to make QWISO hash or QWET or whatever. For larger quantities, 1/4 pound of material or more, I will only make RSO, because it is easy to get rid of all of the alcohol fumes quickly and safely doing the process outdoors. Another good thing with RSO, in regards to vaporizing with electronic equipment, any mess or leakage, simply wipe it with your finger and eat it. In other words, no waste!
Now with RSO, you are getting all the good the bad and the ugly.... because you are cooking the weed in the iso or grain alcohol... all of our extraction processes require freezing multiple times at different steps to lock out all the BS you get with RSO
Pictures do help to verify that what you speak is what you do.
There wont be any pictures, the only pictures i have seen form oil maker look like my reclaim in fact i think my reclaim looks better, oh and a horses ass
On another note most of the CO2 oils i have tired all still had water in the extract, sizzle cracks and what not, clean tasting stuff just haven't come in contact with a co2 oil that i though was better then any of the waxes they have had at shops. Also I was told that is why they put a lot of the co2 oil in the pre-filled cartridges for the e-cigs you get better rips off of the CO2 oils that way. that is what i was told i have not tried a co2 cartridge yet i am sure i will at some point
